I ATEN'T DEAD

Hello! Remember me? I'm still sort of here! I have not given up on my Gargoyles re-watch, I swear. But because of an ongoing issue with my vision (My corneas are inflamed and also warped. I didn't even know that was a thing. WARPED CORNEAS! Possible band name?) I've had to limit my looking-at-a-screen-time, not to mention that I'm not allowed to wear my contacts at all, so I have to rely on my all-but-worthless glasses, with their woefully out of date prescription. I'm halfway blind at the moment, so there's a built in excuse for any typoes that I might be making right now. Bright side!

This is all massively inconvenient, of course, and more than a little scary, but my eyes should heal in time ("rehabilitated" the optimetrist said. Let us all hope my corneas are not recidivists.) and, like I said, I fully intend to continue with the rewatch, though I don't know when. Watch this space, I guess.

So to my Gargoyles-loving friends; Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and/or an excellent Winter Soltice to you!

I Am Lame

Literally, since I twisted my ankle yesterday morning while running around with the dogs doing something undefined but badass. This may not seem like a good excuse for procrastinating with my still-unfinished "City of Stone" review, since most people don't type with their ankles (though I bet there's some weirdo contortionist out there that can), but waaah, I am a big baby and it hurts and I just want to lay around and watch TV and play Candy Crush and not think or write about things.

It's coming, though. Truthfully, I was having a hard time, since this four-parter was really amazing and I want to do it justice and I was (am) still a little flummoxed on how to write about it and blah blah blah no-one-cares-about-my-so-called-"process." I will finish, if for no other reason than I want to keep watching the DVD's (I review each episode before watching the next). So watch for that, sometime this week.

Also, in other amazing-TV-show news - JESSE PINKMAN IS ALIVE AND FREE, THANK FUCKING GOD. Whew.
