Dec. 19th, 2018 08:04 pmWhew. So! I finished my data collection project at work and it turned out masterful (I have ZERO data collection experience but honestly last year's bit couldn't have been worse).
I also finished reading Jane Doe last night, which was a quick read and deeply satisfying in very specific ways. If you want to read a story with a woman who has zero shame, this is a really good one. It's the story of a sociopath who plots to ruin the life of the man who caused her best friend to commit suicide. The ending was a little rushed, and somewhat less satisfying than I would have liked, but I really liked Jane as a character and it's definitely worth reading for that alone
Also, I'm drinking wine and watching old episodes of Merlin. I've gotten to the Poison Chalice and it is THE BEST EPISODE.
1) Arthur's deep satisfaction in Merlin's feather hat is wonderful. EYEBROWS.
2) Arthur going to drink and realizing the toast isn't finished yet is absolutely me every time.
3) Arthur's desire to be like, "my fucking manservant is an idiot, dad, but please don't kill him" every other episode is delightful.
4) Merlin very intentionally turning to stare deeply into Arthur's eyes as he drinks his poison wine is so on brand.
5) Arthur ready to charge off to find Merlin a little yellow flower because Merlin has earned his undying loyalty in like 2 episodes is just precious 100% pure noble Arthur.
6) I always forget this S1 thing where they were trying to pair up Arthur with Morgana and Merlin with Gwen but I deeply underestimated how much I like Gwen.
7) Why do I love this show so much when it's SO BAD
8) I FORGOT ABOUT MERLIN MOANING ARTHUR'S NAME IN BED seriously how did Colin Morgan shoot this with a straight face
9) Every word Merlin literally moans from this bed could be said in another context
10) Did this guard seriously not recognize Gwen, like five people work in this castle
11) Uther you GIANT LIAR. ASH is so extra in this role and I really adore him
12) UGH THESE BOYS
Anyway, that's my night.
