bearshortyI finished “To Your Scattered Bodies Go” this morning. It really left a lot of room for sequels. I know Burton is not really in the second book – Mark Twain is the main character in that – and I will miss his practicality and him in general. Can’t wait to start on the second book “The Fabulous Riverboat.”
I did some more holiday shopping in the evening. For Bear’s Mom and sister, mostly. Bear and I are getting join presents that they asked for but it felt weird not to actually go and pick something myself so I did get a little bit extra. So I got some baths and candle stuff and a neck pillow thing. Then I spent some time wrapping all the presents since I needed to wrap Mama’s birthday presents for tomorrow. She gets her birthday presents under the tree.
I was listening to my iTunes Christmas album that they gave out for free last year and it finally occurred to me to check out the band that sings my favorite song on that. The song is “A Snowflake Fell (And It Fell Like a Kiss)” by Glasvegas. I really liked their 2008 album based on samples and I think I might buy it.
I have one Invite code if anybody needs it.
Caprica S1E14. I got the DVDs on Netflix and I’m trying not to watch it all at once. I could figure out who Clarice’s contact was by the shadow before the reveal. Methos has always been a distinctive shadow, even in Highlander when they tried to be mysterious about who is waiting in the fog, it was always clear who it was. And since I expected more from the character anyway, not really a surprise. (I think someone called it on one forum in the first episode Peter Wingfield appeared.) Agent Durham set up an innocent woman deliberately to check if his boss is the mole. That is not right. But the episode with so much Peter Wingfield can do no wrong. I did like Lacy story too. So did the Greystones really reconcile? It was a bit strange.
