As several people have asked, I confess that the weather was utterly miserable last night and so I stayed home and watched two more episodes of s3 Continuum, which continues to be a show that makes me happy. (It has a female lead in a role that 10 years ago almost certainly would have been a guy. She’s a ‘strong’ character in that yes, she’s kick-ass, but she’s also fragile and scared and determined and angry and loses her temper and makes mistakes and-you know, basically acts like a human…

things make a post
Rogue hoodie. I will obviously be getting one of these. I’m tempted to also get the Captain Marvel one, but as someone on Twitter pointed out, what they really need to make is a reversible Rogue/Carol one. :) I gotta stop going into Chapters Bookstore.

It has been a very, very busy several days. A very EXCITING several days, from Young Indiana’s point of view. Friday he got to go hang out with his cousins for a few hours. Saturday his Nana and Papa arrived. Sunday was his birthday (“NOW I am four years old, Mama!”) and the whole fam damily was over, which is *excrutiatingly* exciting. Today he has still not gotten over the excitement of Nana and Papa’s arrival and is pretty well beside himself. Ted is off work for NINE WHOLE DAYS.…
