lazy sunday afternoon isn't quite so lazy

It has been 48 hours since I did any work. Okay, unless you count being part of a group reading* Saturday afternoon "work" but since it was more of a "prelude to drinking and grousing in a bar after" I don't.

Oh. You mean sitting around and talking Industry Talk over excellent beer is "work?"

Hrm.

Okay, so maybe I didn't take as much time off as I thought. But it's still been 48 hours away from any kind of writing or even thinking much about the writing. Which was nice but somewhat...disconcerting, too. Finishing up the freelance gig tonight, and then back to the grind tomorrow morning.

But before I let go of the very social weekend, there was a quick but expensive group hit on Kalustyans to restock the pantry. *dies a little* I was good. I was. I got out of there under $100. I now have proper fixings for chili and curry and whatnots. Also: chestnut honey, preserved lemons, Australian ginger, and organic farro. And lemon vinegar. Multicultural kitchen FTW. Who's coming over for dinner?



*if you were there, you were the first to hear anything from WEIGHT OF STONE. If you weren't.. well, you didn't.

The Three Card Monte Job

Ok, I might have wanted a little more of the team, but this was a Natecentric epsiode and for that, tv deities, I thank you [Hutton and Skerret? 3 card monte vs speed chess? Bring it, baby]. And everyone was in good form, doing what they do like competent professionals. Overall, quite pleased, except for two gripes. 1. How/why did the team show up like that at the end? [answer: ride the fun train, children] and 2. I have this strong suspicion that the Leverage writers wanted to make Nate an uttah bastid (and Jimmy likewise) but were told to tone it down for Joe and Jane Viewer.

So now I have this urge to rewrite the episode for the rest of us.

I'm not going to. But the urge is there. Jimmy ( spoilers! )

Ok, no time for detailed breakdown - back to work, me. What did y'all think?
