There are like a DOZEN shows out there that look like they match my interests. Hundreds of episodes unwatched. Why did I have to fall for the one that was cancelled three years ago after only ten episodes?
Whyyyyyy?

note: shows to check out next now that Leverage is finished: Farscape, Elementary, Hustle. And Chuck season 5 (I'm actually still unspoiled for the finale so I should maybe watch that one first...)

But right now I'm rewatching The Wire and The Unusuals because feelings. Was planning on only watching season three of The Wire, but so much of it is setup for season four! (On a side note, now that I read that crossover between the two shows for Yuletide Madness, I'd kind of love to read a long one, with case plot...)
Btw, anyone know of good meta that also references real events and people in Baltimore? I'm wondering if anything like Colvin's secret Hamsterdam project actually happened.

I'm now proud owner of a Kindle. I got the cheapest one that does little more than display text, but it should be sufficient. (Except it would be handy if it could delete files, but I think I have to do that via computer, which is inconvenient.) I already downloaded and read a bunch of stories from AO3 and so far I'm very happy with it. I think I'll still print out my favorites for re-reading but I love how quick I can grab and save stuff.

We have snow! Everything looks bright even with the sun not shining, and I finally got to dust off my skis. Guy at the xerox place said it was the first time he'd seen someone come by on skis. :)

Hey! Good to find more people who are active on DW! :)

Hustle is very entertaining (at least for the first few seasons, but YMMV) and has some awesome episodes, so I do recommend you to check it out. But sadly I did not really get a fannish vibe out of it. I think it's better for casual watching when you just want to unwind, you know?

I LOVE snow! So, I'm pretty lucky, because my backyard looks like this in winter. ;)
Did you go skiing in the city (or town)? In which case, respect! I haven't skied since childhood and even then only in the countryside.

Looks like a large part of my LJ flist has moved to DW during the latests few LJ hijinks, and are now happily crossposting.

I live on the outskirts of town, so I only have to carry the skis for a few meters until I can start skiing. It's nice, but our countryside doesn't compare to the view in your photo! Looks beautiful. Where is that?

Yeah, I was kind of hesitant at first about moving from LJ to DW, but now that I have I'm loving it! It's so much more stable than LJ.

Oh, I think the countryside in Germany is really beautiful! (Mind you, I've only visited the Bavaria region.) I'm in Finland, so finding snowy scenery here is not difficult. OTOH, it's -26C outside now... *turns to icicle*
