Are you sure the solution is pie?

Frankie is sprawled in the sun, I'm having pumpkin bread for breakfast, and there are three more sleeps until we go away for the weekend. All in all, shaping up to be a pretty good day in the Nous household. I've got to figure out when to fit in a day of running errands, and laundry, and figure out the pet-sitting situation (Mr. Nous is supposed to be on that, but...yes) for Frankie Prime. But I can totally do that in three days! With my hands tied behind my back! Except not, because I need them for driving and cranking the laundry dial.

Oh, and I wrote a bunch of Remus/Ron last night, so I am hoping to beat that deadline and post my damn fic for the challenge today. Of course, most of what I wrote was preamble to the plotty bits, but hey! Words!

I was so sorry to hear about Andy Hallett's death -- so very young, and so incredibly talented! What a terrible thing. I imagine we'll hear from some of the Ats cast about this -- I hope they're dealing with the hurt as best as they can.

To switch to a more hopeful fannish note: I'm going to see if I can catch up on Kings before we head out of town in a few days. There's no way I've missed the squee and buzzing about it, which makes me happy for everyone in love with the show and of course makes me curious about what's up with it. Plus aimeelicious asked if I was going to watch, so there you go.

Is Merlin ever going to show on U.S. television? Do I have to watch it online? Or is it ever going to air on BBC America? I want to jump into that show as well, because I have way too much experience with Arthurian stuff not to be curious. But you know, I'd rather watch it from my couch than from my study.

And I am totally, totally out of the loop on American Idol! First season since s4 when I started watching that that has happened. I guess there have just been some days when I'd rather write or hang out with Mr. Nous, and...bleh. Should I catch up on eps, or just try to jump in right here?
