If not Myself, who can I Indulge?

Okay, so.  Spring!  It is spring, and I am going to try my damnedest to shake off winter sloth.  Winter sloths!  I imagine they would be adorable.  I want one.  No.  Stay on track.  Nope!  Not staying on track, don't care as long as my fingers are actually touching keys and making words.

What have I done since the end of January, when last I posted?  Fuck all.  I wrote nothing.  I did nothing.  I rode a little on a stationary recumbent in the back of my office with Animal Crossing to distract me from the fact that I was exercising.  I worked at work.  A lot.  Not having a manager makes for a lot more administrative work and busybodying into everyone else's stuff, which, fortunately, everyone is being very patient with that part.  I cannot wait for someone to take the job (it won't be me, they want a developer, which I am emphatically not).  There, we're up to speed.

I watched a lot of TV.  I'm current with Hannibal, which is glorious and terrifying.  I watched all of Pushing Daisies which was also glorious, though totally different (despite being the same showrunner) .  I watched a lot of Teen Wolf.  I fired Supernatural for it's utter sucking this season, and I think that's going to stick.  Unlike LOST, I don't hate Supernatural, but I think we should see other people.  I wish it well, really (it was the ghostfacers episode, which I found so clumsy and ham handed that I could no longer deal.)

Caught some of Dracula, which was... It was interesting.  Interesting.

I amuse my brain, mostly, by coming up with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen-like assemblages of characters from the recent shows I like.  And because I have very little of use in my head right now, I'm going to share my lineup with you:

Will Graham (Hugh Dancey) Hannibal (2013-2014)
Annie Sawyer (Lenora Critchlow) Being Human (UK) (2008-2013)
Ned the Pie Maker (Lee Pace) Pushing Daisies (2007-2009)
Dean Fuck Mothering Winchester (Jensen Ackles) Super Fuck Mothering Natural (2005-2014)
Alison Argent (Crystal Reed) Teen Wolf (2011-2014) [Yeah, I know, Spoiler Spoiler]
Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) Elementary (2012-2014) [Haven't gotten to watching much of this yet, but I like Lucy Liu in this [and just about everything I have seen her in], and I want to underline the fact that BBC Sherlock is right out in this shared universe-in-my-fandoms).

Yes, all of this came from Dean Winchester stopping at the Pie Hole.  Because he would.

Which leads me to my weird relationship with Sherlock.  When I am watching it, I love it (it helps that I managed to miss the crappy episodes, apparently), but the rest of the time, I hate it.  I think Martin Freeman is obnoxious, and I am one of those dead-ender Trekkies who hates Englebert Humperdinck for being cast as Kahn (also, he comes off as a twit most of the time he's not in character and well, I have a Tumblr, so I see far too much of his face [like once for every 7 Tom Hiddlestons, TBH, but I don't mind Tom Hiddleston].  Also, he has a silly British name that I like to make fun of, apparently, because I am very mature.

So here we are writing things in a world where Fred Phelps is not but Lucius Shepard is also not, and well, there we are.
