actual marathons need not apply

1. I need to find a show to marathon this week :) Chris has just had crunch time land in his lap with no warning, which means I'm going to see him about three hours a day for the next week, I think. Based on how I'm feeling lately, I think losing myself in some escapist TV would be a good idea; I just can't decide what. I still have to finish Arrow S1, but it didn't 100% grab me (it's okay, but needs more banter to really own me). Fandom is wild about Sleepy Hollow but I think the Americentrism might annoy the pants off me - also, there's not exactly enough to marathon yet. ;) I dunno. Normally I'd do a Burn Notice rewatch, but Chris and I are planning on watching it together soon, so. Maybe NCIS again? It's been a while.

2. My herbs are growing really well, despite the heat! Dad's been trying to come up with a watering hookup for me, but in the meantime I'm using a hacky solution involving a large bucket of water, and it's working well. So I have tons of fresh basil, parsley, rosemary, oregano and chives at my disposal... and a tiny wee mint which is thriving happily.

3. The Dizzee Rascal iTunes Festival show was really, really good and I've been rewatching it on constant repeat for ages when I'm alone in the house. *grooves*

hrm

I'm doing the please-entertain-me! trawl for fic, and so I've been branching further afield in my reading than I otherwise might.

...I really dislike Author Notes at the end of a chapter for anything other than explicating the chapter itself - translations, references etc are fine, but thanks for reviews and apologies for mistakes are so offputting. I don't want to watch the sausage being made while I'm eating it, you know?
