So we're coming up on that magical time when long-distant deadlines are starting to loom horrifyingly close, exhibits a-f in "where I have been". (Exhibit g is tumblr.) Two of said deadlines are this week, and since I'm living by myself for the week, I would like recs from you! Because I find imagining ways to spend all the spare time I don't have to be relaxing for some reason.
SO, what media would you recommend me for all of my hypothetical viewings? What have I been totally ignoring as a massive oversight until now?* I'm currently watching (for various values of "currently" and "watching") The Wire (season two! for the first time! no spoilers! lol mcnulty, i'm sorry your life is so bad all the time!), Shameless (I hate like 75% of the things this show chooses to be), Pretty Little Liars (finale tomoz woe), Parks and Recreation (:DDDDDDDDDDD), Nikita (:DDDDDDDDDDD), The Vampire Diaries (we're in a fight right now), and Sexy Tudors (this show is terrible, but it's a warm-up for when Sexy Popes aka The Borgias starts up whenever Showtime decides we are prepared for those levels of historical sexiness).
OR ALTERNATELY: So, drabble prompts! Those are a way to get into the momentum of writing memos, yes? Yes.
So this isn't an entire waste of a post: last week I babysat for a friend (daughter, 3; son, 1) and it was the cutest thing that has happened to me in a long time. She is in the process of learning her numbers so counting is VERY EXCITING and it kind of blew her mind when I showed her how many fingers old I am (my hands + her hands + one of her brother's). "So, so, when you were a baby, the dinosaurs were still alive!" Yes, they only died out super recently, you just missed them.
* With the exception of DS9. I know. I know.
