1. Galentine's Day authors were revealed! I wrote my first fic in probably two years or so and it felt nice to be writing again. Teach Your Children - a T:SCC fic that's about Savannah Weaver and her many mommies.

I also received a WONDERFUL fic for Scott & Bailey by

gabolange: Life on Mars. It's Gill and her relationships with the various women on the show and how they overlap.

I should probably get a AO3 account but I just feel really awkward about my old fic. That and the majority of it is written for BSG and I really still hate that show.

2. I'm going on a TV watching binge, which I have mixed feelings about. I feel like I watch a ridiculous amount of TV. Right now, I'm watching Silk, which I can't decide whether I like it or not. The pros are that Martha Costello is completely kickass and idealistic in the pursuit of justice. The cons are I think we're supposed to like dickhead Clive and the show wants to put them together. Plus a slightly ridiculous miscarriage.

I'm also watching Green Wing because Pippa Haywood. It's very . . . British comedy.

Then I have this never-ending list of THINGS I SHOULD WATCH:
1. Top of the Lake
2. Orphan Black - I watched the first episode and it didn't click? I also was sad they killed the German one.
3. The Americans - since it's Jack and Irina, apparently
4. House of Cards (both BBC and US versions)
5. Forbrydelsen - I watched the first six episodes and I like it, I just need to get back to watching it again.

There's probably more but I can't think of them right now.

3. BASKETBALL. I have an awful confession. Since Pat Summitt's retired, I haven't been so invested in Tennessee as I used to be. Nebraska women are kind of taking over my heart. They aren't an elite program but I just kind of love watching them. Also, with the dawn of the Big Ten Network, I get a lot more Big Ten teams games aired than I can get of Tennessee or Notre Dame or Stanford.

4. In two months, I will be in Denmark.

Silk, hmmm. I've not heard of this but it sounds intriguing! I always try lawyer shows and I always hate them, but I wonder if a British lawyer show would be better?

TOP OF THE LAKE. Favorite thing last year, I swear. It's a hard watch though, it's pretty devastating. But awesome.

Yeah I was not feeling Orphan Black after the first couple eps either. I really didn't feel that hooked until like 1x06 or 07 or so, out of ten total eps in the first season. It's so plotty, which is just not the kind of thing that snares me. I mean, I liked it? And I appreciate it. But I don't think I love it like so many other people love it? It definitely has potential though, and I'm interested to see where they go with their next season.

I need to finish season 2 of Forbrydelsen. I've had it for like...three years, idek.

In two months, I will be in Denmark.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Silk - I wish I could Clive into a female character and hand the idea over to Sally Wainwright and Amelia Bullmore to write it. :D However, Indira Varma is in the cast for the second series, so there's that. I find the British legal system quite a mystery to me but I could be distracted by the wigs.

I've watched the first two episodes of Top of the Lake but I'm going slow because I know that it's pretty brutal. I will get around to Orphan Black because everyone tells me the payoff is worth it.

I am both so excited about Denmark and nervous about it. I keep having nightmares about getting lost in airports and trying to find you. It's ridiculous.
