Happy Birthday - Family stuff - TV stuff

Fandom stuff
- Happy birthday, treacle_a! I wish you all the best.
- I revamped and archived chapter 9 of LTAS-V2. I am much happier with the new version. There's not a single paragraph without changes. No wonder it's taking me so long to revamp this.
- Finally started reading Bent Justice. My interest in reading fanfic isn't what it used to be, but this looks very promising. I lurve prison-fics.

Family stuff
- Tina is in second grade, so it's still a little early to decide which school to send her to after 4th grade; on the other hand, these things always seem far off and then they are right in front of you. So, we're looking at schools now. Tina has good grades. She's good at analytical problems, not the best chess player ever, but clever. She likes sports, dances, likes singing and playing the flute (I can't tell if she is good or not, I always hide when she practices). Her English is advanced for her age. She writes cute little stories, likes reading. Basically, she's a little Jack-of-all-trades. I think we'll try to get her into a bilingual school where they teach history, sports, and geography in English language.
- Viktoria is looking forward to going to school. All visitors are shown her new school bag.
- A few days ago, the daughters discussed what would happen if Mr. E and I were to die. Tina promised Viktoria that she'd look after her forever and ever. Viktoria wanted to know if that means she gets all my money, and if they can buy a pony. Heee.
- I forgot to mention that on Tuesday, hubby invited me out for a meal (actually, he didn't have much choice). I had a huuuge steak. Yay. Raw beef never fails to make me happy. The happiness can only be surpassed by obscene amounts of sushi...

TV stuff
- House 1x21 was one of the finest hours of television that I've watched this year. Utterly brilliant. I loved how the lecture theatre gradually filled up... and the way the episode played with reality. Marvellous!
- Am utterly apprehensive with regard to Lost. We haven't watched for a while. 21 and 22 sit on my HD, 23 is downloading. Why am I apprehensive? Because I dread that they'll kill/maim/ruin characters that I care about. So, I find excuses not to watch. How pathetic is that? In case you're wondering who my favourite characters are: Locke, Sawyer, Sayid, Jack, and Kate. Oh, um, I also like Hurly and Shannon. And the Koreans. But I can't stand Michael. At. All. *shudder* Anyway, if you want to comment, please don't spoil me with details, but feel free to reassure me and tell me to watch those epis ASAP... :-)
- I still enjoy Blind Justice. I remember reading a few fanfic in which Spike was blinded by Dru (based on a challenge), and enjoying them a lot. Guess that makes it official: blind is my kink.

Today is lazy!day: Pasta and playstation for the kids. They need at least one day per week where they can just be lazy and hang out. Ideal for me. I could grab my notebook and go downstairs to write. Finally. Yeah, if I weren't too tired. A nap looks positively enticing right now. *yawn*
I think I'll go for a walk, maybe that will help. Or I could work in the garden? Choices, choices...

No details, but you really should watch those episodes of Lost as soon as possible. Last night's blew me away. :D

Okay, will do. Cheers.

Two days ago, sockkpuppet listed several sites in her LJ - but the post was locked. I bookmarked the sites though...

someone fixed the faulty file...and posted a link at pirates bay that leads to the correct file...

Let me know if you need more help - right now I'm pushed, but I have time later...

Watch Lost. Just watch it.

And also... watch Veronica Mars. ;)

Hee. I watched VM already. Great show, great ending. Except for the uncertainty about Logan. :-)

Go watch Lost. Now. I can recommend it, too. Can't wait for the last three episodes.

And you and hubby should watch Enterprise 4.18 & 4.19. Don't get any info beforehand about this two-parter. Just download and watch. If the teaser will surprise you. I guarantee. Those are the best two episodes of all the four seasons.

And maybe you will like "The 4400", too. I just saw the first season (five episodes). Kind of interesting. 4400 people disappear (abducted by aliens?) over the last 60 years and then suddenly reappear all at the same time at the same place, but they have changed somewhat... If you haven't anything to watch after Lost is done, that might be worthwhile. Second season will start in June.

We watched 21 and 22 last night. Gee, I'm glad they didn't shoot Locke dead. I really like the character. For some reason, Kate's story didn't interest me. But I had to laugh about the fact that Sawyer's voice makes the baby happy. :-)

I heard about 4400 - I even checked out the website a while ago. May download once all the other series are through to stuff the "Sommerloch".

Enterprise? Ok, will download. Thanks.
I hope to see the whole show, eventually, when it's out on DVD maybe... or when S. has burned the entire seasons on DVD.
