Woo! I just checked the Radio Times site because on-my.tv was telling me Merlin was on tomorrow, which I thought was a tricksy lie, AND IT WASN'T!!! I am vee excited, because I am full of the Merlin love atm, mostly because of my burning passion for Prince Arthur.
I also love Glee. It's a slightly odd show in some ways, and doesn't seem to know if it's fish or fowl or good red herring, but it's just so sweet, and I'm sort of emotionally invested in all the characters, even the ones I don't like so much, and SUE SYLVESTER IS A BEAUTIFUL ELEGANT GODDESS OF AWESOME.
So, what other news do I have? Not very much. For dinner tonight I made roasted squash and red onion risotto, which was nice. Last night was aubergine and mozz penne, made with passata from Katie's parents, which is especially nice. In the very near future I am also spying roasted veg soup, a nice bit of leek and bacon quiche, a spot of sausage and mash, and that old stand by, spin ris. Mmm. Good times.
Anyway, other than that, I've been tidying up my room, and it's actually going quite well this time. Woo. Last night I counted about 12 dresses in my possession, which is very many indeed considering a couple of years ago I didn't have any. And today I was stressed and frustrated at work, and now I have 13 dresses and no money. :( Still, I'm wearing a nice, new dress, so I totes don't care.
The rest of tonight has been spent: watching The Big Bang Theory (oh, Sheldon... ♥), Glee and last week's NCIS, making and eating dinner, obsessively checking my email, and sitting in the dark talking to Katie about Stella Gibbons' Nightingale Wood (a truly awesome book which everyone should read) and resolving that we would not become Witherish.

Have you seen the TV version of CCF with Kate Beckinsale as Robert Poste's child? It is AMAZING and also UTTERLY PERFECT.

Incidentally, while we're on the topic of Cold Comfort Farm: have you seen this fic? It's from last year's Yuletide, a gen sequel in picture-perfect Flora Poste voice to Cold Comfort Farm. Involving Hollywood! And mobsters! And many lovely turns of phrase!
It is quite long, but it's good enough to be worth it.
If I can find a copy of NW I'll give it a shot, but none of the libraries I frequent seem to have it. Where did you get yours? Has there been a recent reprint?

I love that fic! I read it over Christmas!
(Incidentally, is the big Borders in York still open? It was right in the middle...)

And IDEK! It just happened! I care about Quin Fabray and stupid Finn and annoying Rachel and poor psoriatic Ken and I have no idea why!
