So, baseball is done for a few months, now the extent of my interest in sport can hibernate for the winter, there's not even the Olympics to break it up. Oh well Royals, I was rooting for you, but you got outplayed in the end, if my Rockies are so disappointing again next year I'll be back to pay attention to you guys again.

And now back to fandom...with some more talk about AoS and the larger MCU.

( Spoilers for the Age of Ultron trailer, the future Marvel projects announcement and AoS 2x06 )

I figured I’d put together a report card of the TV shows I watched this year. Wow I watch a lot of TV.

( This is, I mostly drop shows if they would grade too low )

So over the last few days I’ve been marathoning Revenge. On the whole I like it, but I feel like this is probably the right way for me to watch it, it seems like a show that works better as one big story than watching on a week to week basis (with hiatuses).

So yesterday the Rockies traded Ubaldo Jimenez. I honestly didn’t think they’d do it even though I knew it was a possibility. I suppose it always is a possibility, but like I said, I didn’t think it would happen.

( Cut for being overly emotional about sports )

I HAVE MY COPY OF DANCE WITH DRAGONS. FINALLY.

I want to read it so much, but there's a part of me that wants to enjoy the anticipation just a little longer, knowing that I *could* read it. I mean, one only gets to read it for the first time once.

In case any of you were wondering I've basically been sick for the last two weeks now. I hate being sick which is why I'm glad I don't get that way very often but when I do I always seem to get like the plague to make up for it. I mean, my parents have had the same crap (at least in theory) but they didn't skip more than a couple days of work last week when the symptoms were worse; me, I guess I'm better in a lot of ways but I've been essentially mute for the last four days now; even if I had a job that would make it pretty difficult to get anything done.

I can't tell if the fact that I'm still coughing a fair bit is connected to the fact that I can't talk above a whisper. Seems logical they would be connected, but while enough meds will keep the cough under control my voice has just gone and fled the scene.

Anyway...I guess keep me entertained f-list, make me feel like I won't be sick forever with this crap.

shinyopals was talking yesterday about how to successfully convert someone to Doctor Who and it got me thinking about a few things. Like how I would like to be converted to a new show, and how to convert other people. And the difference between where I think one should start watching a show and episodes that really pulled me in.

For now we’ll just do Doctor Who, but I might decide to do some more later.

Since I doubt this is just me, I thought I'd pose it as a discussion question.

What ships do you guys have that when another ship, which you may or may not have an opinion on is compared to it, your feelings on the subject alter.

( For some of my answers )

So I've moved on to rewatching Ugly Betty (just season 1 & 2, 3 is still pretty fresh) so, thoughts of rewatching.
