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*

I rewatched Numb3rs a few weeks back, and it's held up extremely well. Considering the show is about two brothers, I was impressed how much time and consideration was given to Amita's career. And Megan will always be first in my heart of fannish loves.

(Of course if Numb3rs isn't your speed, then ignore this rec. ;-) )

I never actually watched Numb3rs the first time around, despite recs for it, so I think I should definitely give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
