It is November! For some reason the being-November thing makes me really pleased. Thirty more days until rent time? Survived the holiday un-egged? This is the year I write my masterpeice? Who knows! I'm just pleased with the general November concept.

I am probably not going to write a novel, btw, but maybe I will move some WiPs! I have new ones that are unjossable that I quite like. If I can just get past the premise and into plot - because, as phnelt and I have been confirming, I would much rather wander around talking about what people eat and how they power their spaceships and what, exactly, their custom is for greeting a second cousin who they have seen in more than two and less than five weeks than send them on adventures. So my characters, um, never do anything. ::handwave:: What can you do?

I don't know if it's that season 4 SGA is particularly good, or if I've just really recommitted to the canon, but right now it is filling me with glee. I will see the new episode... well, not tonight, but sometime this week! This is rivaling my most caught-up in an open canon ever (the last four episodes of Doctor Who s3). I have given up on staying current with Heroes and the Sarah Jane Adventures, though. I suppose I'm expecting to be able to watch them all in a chunk the next time I'm on break.

Speaking of the strange expectations I bring to tv watching, does anyone know what's happening with the tv-links guy? Is there a legal defense fund out there anywhere? This thing where people help me steal my television and then they get hung out to dry makes me :-( .

And last addendum, did I remember to tell y'all that I did write to the BBC to ask if there was any way I could pay for the Doctor Who I was watching? Some sort of symbolic license fees, etc? I got a very very British letter back asking me to stop downloading things illegally. ::sigh:: Maybe in ten more years, there'll be a tip jar somewhere on their website, and I can assuage my conscience and still get my tv in a format that's some use to me.

This ramble has been brought to you by the Downtown Coffeeshop, and also, that paper I'm supposed to be writing. Happy November 1, everybody!
