In tonight's dinner news, I have to note that I totes nailed the linguini with clam sauce. I don't think I've ever got the pasta so perfectly cooked before. (Pretty much a happy accident since I didn't do anything different. Linguini is more forgiving than some other pastas though.) The sauce was really yum. I'm so glad my (long time ago) med-school ex taught how to put those cans of chopped clams to use with just basic ingredients. It's so simple and cheap but it feels like a treat.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What do you mean?
That I was SO excited about New Who when it started that I can't tell if people who were not would be as into it. Not that they can't be, but that I can't know, at least not from my own experience. And I am hesitant to base my recommendations on anything but my own experience.
Which is why it's good you can add your experience to the discussion.

I rec FNL, but I only watch SPN randomly and don't get DW, so my opinions are suspect. But dear god, I love the relationships and characterizations in FNL. OMG.
Ankle seized back up. WTFF.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister tends to harshly judge everything I watch, but she tried DW this time round and liked it. Then Captain Jack showed up and she went over to Torchwood without looking back, but she's a big old hot for the man on man.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I noticed that the grocery list I left on the counter had "ICE CREEM SANDWICHES" added to it. I'm buying them. If Owen took the time to put them on the list, he deserves ice cream sandwiches.
Owen is awesome. When I was in high school, I used to put things on the grocery list by drawing pictures. My mom kept the list that I drew a hairy leg (for razors) on for a while. (Didn't hang it on the fridge, though.)
I totes nailed the linguini with clam sauce.
"Totes"? You've been hanging with a bad crowd, my friend, picking up their "lingo."
However -- linguini with clam sauce is totes yummy.

Teppy, did you watch "Arrested Development"? One of my favorite scenes EVER was when the Bluths reminisced about the pictures instead of grades...thanks for the reminder.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Java, As much as I love SPN, I don't know if I think you would enjoy it. I would do with FNL.

Thanks Perkins. I love thriller/scary stuff with long storylines (X-Files, etc). Why do you think I won't like SPN?

Not javachik
FNL is wonderful.
