OMFG CONNIE BRITTON AND KYLE CHANDLER WERE NOMINATED FOR EMMYS!!!!!!!!!!

COACH AND MRS COACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M SO HAPPY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF!

(OMG!)

WAIT HOLY CRAP CHRIS COLFER GOT ONE TOO!?

YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS. The first four chapters of the new Dresden Files book ("Changes") are up on Jim Butcher's website! Here is the link. It goes straight into the story, no spoiler space, so don't click that unless you really want to read it!

OMG OMG OMG HARRY, I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

( What I really hope happens in this book, somewhat spoilery for the first 4 chapters )

Also, I am typing this post from my WORKING LAPTOP. This is crazy exciting as my laptop has been non-functional since October. Both the motherboard and hard drive were replaced so it's practically a new computer. I have re-christened her Penny.

OH MY GRACIOUS, we are finally caught up on Bones and we watched the last two episodes in real time (more or less) and I am still just STAGGERED by how much I love this show and everyone in it. It makes me want to jump up and down and hug someone and make squeaky noises.

( spoilers for tonight's ep, 'Mayhem on a Cross' )

What I really really need is an animated icon from that one ep where they go to pottery class with Sweets and his gf, and Booth is like, "Look at my horse! Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk" and he makes the little clay horse gallop. Rogue swears he's seen one but the Internets are not yielding to my demands. The skating icon is awesome though too, obvs. (I love that this season's episodes are all, The One Where They Go Skating! The One Where They're Stuck on a Plane! The One Where They Join the Circus! The One Where They Go to a Con!)

Let me tell you internets about what an AWESOME Friday I am having:

• It's Friday!!!!
  
• I am going up to the garment district with aviendiora and llyrafantasyfae tomorrow!
  
• I am wrapping Christmas presents!
  • While drinking hot apple cider
    
  • And burning actual German incense cones in my actual German smoker dude (mine is a little guy in lederhosen, with a trumpet) that makes me super-nostalgic for our Munich Christmases
    
  • And watching my *favorite* Christmas special of all time, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street! Big Bird waits for Santa! Bert and Ernie reenact the Gift of the Magi! They play crack-the-whip! Cookie Monster eats the Christmas tree! (And how much did I want to be that little girl who teaches Big Bird to skate?)
    
  • Next up is Muppet Christmas Carol!
• I ran four miles today, 11-minute miles the whole way! No more 12-minute miles for me! for me. Run faster = done faster, right J-9?
  • While finishing the last two eps of Disc 1, Season 1 of NCIS. I'm only allowed to watch while I'm working out. :)
• I mailed off my family's presents today, and hardly had to wait at all. Yay, automated postal center thingies!
  
• Oh my gosh, this video of an R2-D2 dance company (via Club Jade):

There's magic in the air this evening, magic in the air...
