Off today because of huge amounts of snow that fell yesterday and overnight (seriously, driving up the hill to get to our place last night? Never been so scared driving a car.) Off again tomorrow and since we're supposed to be closing for a half day for the Christmas holidays on Thursday I have my doubts that we'll be in... not so much the snow seems to be the problem as that our twelve prefab classrooms have frozen pipes and thus no water. (Also, are freezing cold even with the heat going full blast but that's another issue.)

Used the day to clean the house and finally put all the pictures into Abigail's "First Year" frame that Nana got us last year. It looks deadly if I do say so myself!

Abigail has been to see Santa...not too chuffed with him but have the photo of her sitting on his lap so yay.

Fandom related question - Continuum was on Sky over the weekend and we had it on in the background. (Hey it makes a change from Waybuloo and WotWots.) Do we know what happened to the Cameron who was sent back in time and saved the day? (May have asked before but remember not.) Any fic out there about it?

Happy days of shopping today - found Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel on DVD in town! Yes, it was expensive, yes I could have got it cheaper online (and I'm about to get Anne 1 online to prove my point!) and yes, I have it on video. But this is DVD, this is Anne, and there are deleted scenes and a director's commentary and did I mention that it's got Gil on DVD? So yes, happy helsinkibaby.

Thursday's West Wing - Jefferson Lives )

Navy NCIS - oh yes, still becoming an addiction )

Anyone who reads Stargate SG1 Sam/Daniel fic should take a hop over to [livejournal.com profile] butterflykiki 's journal and read the DVD Director's commentary meme that she did for Sonambulist which I've just killed the spelling of, and Statisical Outliers (or why we all should ship Sam/Daniel) because they're great. This is a meme that seems to be doing the rounds at the moment, and I've already made my requests of [livejournal.com profile] neonhummingbird so therefore I suppose I should extend the offer my own self... ergo, if there are any of my stories that anyone here would like me to do a commentary on, pop it in the comments.

First day back at school today, and it was one of those reflection on the new curriculum days, where you look at what you’re doing and decide that you’re not teaching the kids half enough and you really should be doing something else for a living. Though I know that for the next two months, I’m doing English Irish and Maths all day in an effort to assure that they don’t completely disgrace themselves in their entrance exams. Although since they’re making their Confirmation, I shall obviously also squeeze religion in there somewhere.

That aside, first day back proved what I’ve long thought – teaching would be a lovely job if there weren’t any kids.

That much said, I must speak of Grace and in an effort to protect those who have not seen it and do not wish to know of it, I shall talk about my opinions, complete with dialogue, so really don’t click if you don’t want to know, “here” )

For those of you who are not into the SG1 of it all, I have West Wing drabbles for the chance challenge over at TWW100.
Taking Chances ) - Leo/Ainsley, no spoilers.
Cats in Hell ) Sam/Donna (yes, you read that right!) spoilers all over the place.
And Say You Will ) which is Charlie/Zoey, non-spoilerific, where the title comes from Fleetwood Mac, and Charlie incarnates the spirit of Lloyd Dobler.

And just to be a little bit different, we have a Warrick/Sara future fic for the Writer’s Choice “Old Friends” challenge, called What Old Friends Are For )

And now, that much done, I’m going to look at the new series of Without a Trace which is starting tonight! Did I mention that TG4 rocks? Because TG4 rocks!
