First, the good: Since I know that Ianto will become more important, I loved seeing some character development for him, and some backstory. Also, there was snogging, and I will not be happy until every single recurring character has made out with every other recurring character. At the rate we're going, this will take two more episodes.

The bad: I'm not big on gore, and this episode was pretty much wall-to-wall unnecessary violence. I don't mind fighting, but I do mind full-screen blood-and-guts, and also helpless suffering, and there was sufficient in this episode that I probably won't rewatch it. This is a shame, because, after all, intracast makeouts.

I made me an icon! It's not an original or particularly good image choice, but it's the first time I've played with gaussian blur -> shrink -> sharpen. Since I have zero visual arts skills I'm a little excessively proud of myself.

Also, I wrote porn. And I posted it to the porn battle. And then I panicked and didn't look at the page or check my email for three days, because this is the first time I've publicly posted anything NC-17 and I couldn't get over the feeling that the entire universe had seen my brain naked. But I'm over it now, mostly. (Buffy/Faith, explicit, not big on the character development.)

It is snowing _again_. There's a fair chance my evening classes are going to be cancelled, which would really fubar the syllabus, but on the other hand it would give me some more time to finish La guerra florida. I know I'm supposed to be learning something about the savage underpinnings of human nature but mostly I'm just giving my Spanish/English dictionary a workout. It makes me remember how much I hated being illiterate in English, back when I was wee.
