No through line here, friends,
Dec. 1st, 2013 08:55 pmjust some disconnected thoughts.
1. As soon as we got to Mississippi, Fiona started getting sick again, like really sick. We got her back home, and as I suspected, a double ear infection this time. She also has a terrible cough, and I'm worried about her developing pneumonia. Emma had pneumonia twice before she was two, and it sucked hard. Mostly I'm just annoyed because we're going to have to go through months of this shit before they'll put tubes in her ears. I had to have them in mine 30 something years ago (back when you had to stay overnight in the hospital instead of the two hour outpatient business they do now), so did my little brother, and so did Emma. In my humble Mommy opinion, Fiona needs them too, and I understand they don't want to do surgery on infants willynilly, but we're just going to go through ear infection after ear infection until Fiona gets them. *sigh*
2. We watched Search for Spock yesterday and Wrath of Khan today, and I got all weepy thinking about what good friends the bridge crew of the Enterprise are, and how I don't think I have more than one or two people who'd risk everything to climb the steps of Mount Seleya for me, much less a whole room full of them. I was commenting in Fandomsecrets tonight that on first watch, I really didn't like Buffy season 6 because it hurt to watch my heroes behave badly and their friendships fracture. I think that's because I came into Buffy with a decidedly Star Trek frame of mind. LOL There's bad guys, but they're never your friends. And I have grown to love moral ambiguity and heroes who make bad decisions and everything that BattleStar Galactica does so well, but I adore with my whole being the kinds of friendships we get in Star Trek, the kind of firendship in which people literally move heaven and earth for each other. I'm getting all choked up again.
3. So I watched this past week's episode of Agents of SHIELD because Gibbs wasn't on, and overall I thought it was okay. I think my viewing certainly suffered from coming into it so many episodes in. I had one major quibble though. ( spoilers )
4. Josh wants to know if any of you have a Roku and whether we should get the HD or non-HD one.
