lagilmanThe difference between being an adult, and being a grown-up (Grup):
A grown-up would never think of having the last half of a giant cupcake for breakfast.
An adult would discover that she enjoyed the cupcake more than the frosting.

Things Accomplished yesterday:
- wrote 2500 new words, to bring me within striking distance of the 1/4 manuscript mark. Yay.
- rejiggered portion of outline for Vineart 2 to flow from what actually ended up happening in Book 1 (as opposed to what I thought was going to happen).
- cleaned (yay!)
- filed (yay!)
- wrote checks out for The Taxes (decidedly Not Yay)
- prepped contest winner mailings.
- updated financials (ugh)
- exercised
Things Not Accomplished yesterday
- the last redlining of the draft of PoL
Things to Accomplish Today:
- Installation of kitchen countertops! (YAYYYY!)
Drat. Pushed back to tomorrow morning. *is sad*
oh, yeah, and some of that working stuff, too.
----------------------
Okay, I now hereby throw this post open for Castle-squeeing. Or, as we like to call him -- "Kitten."
Okay, nekkid sweaty Nathan. Yes. Okay, moving on. *pause* i said, moving on!. There are already screen caps, you can go back and drool later. Storyline, now.
The plot suffered, IMO, against the Return of the Ex -- I didn't think that a NYC cop wouldn't have a decent 'alternate religions' expert somewhere in their rolodex -- but there were a lot of decent moments [being aware that "Castle" is never going to be a gritty cop drama, that's just not its thing] and at least they're paying passing awareness to the fact that they need actual motive and evidence and warrants -- even if they do seem to come with amazing speed -- and that Castle may be helpful but the cops are still aware of him as a civilian. Some day one of them is going to bluntly remind him that every time he goes near the action he risks having Alexis put into her mother's custody -- or worse, her grandmother's! -- and he will fall back like a stunned carp and behave himself for at least a week.
Meanwhile, the Ex B-plot was just wonderful -- especially A's response to her mother. 'Is it okay to love someone and not want to see them?' Oh honey, so very very yes....

Still love the chemistry between the family. And the ex-wife...OY! The look on Alexis' face when she saw her mother. PRICELESS.
So yes. Enjoyed it immensely. Need to get a Castle icon.

Need to get a Castle icon. With the caption "That's Captain Kitten to you"?
