tis the season (of everything happening at once)

+ I am signed up for Yuletide! I offered ten fandoms, and apparently both previous years I have only offered five. Either I am gaining fannish confidence or it's just that all of Canadian fandom is kind of obscure. (I am guessing the latter.) I see a few people have already put up their letters, but it is still perfectly kosher to wait until assignments go out, right?

- I am breaking up with Flash Forward. And no, it's not because CKR was only there for five minutes and also evil blah blah I am very tired of that, although it didn't help. It's more how they've had sexuality fail and racefail now, and when I discover that Eastwick is a lot better for my blood pressure than any other show airing on a US tv channel right now, I think it's time to step away from the television.

+/- Bits of my flist are starting to talk about Bitching Party. I am full of so much yearning jealousy! I am hesitant to tell myself "there is always next year" because, while I won't be in school, I'll still be halfway across the country and hopefully gainfully employed. But that's what requesting time off ahead of time is for, right? Ahhh entering the stage of my life where I can conceivably be fannish in a mobile way! Anyway. There's always next year. And I am going to WisCon, so that's all right.

+ SO MUCH TO WRITE. Those of you who have foolishly volunteered to look at the F/K/V AU? I'm probably going to stop dithering and send the first part out tonight. Whee writing.

I missed Eastwick on Wednesday, and now when I go to ABC.com and Hulu.com I find absolutely no Eastwick! I mean, I understand that perhaps America isn't as excited as we are about a show centered on women's relationships, but... couldn't they give us a whole season? I was so frustrated I almost cried.

Good to know re: Flashforward, I won't bother watching that ep even for CKR.

I have some internet fairies at work on it at home, but thank you for the offer! Of course I would have much preferred to watch it on ABC.com so they could have the benefit of knowing I watched it and the commercials and all that, but... no.
