darchildre: clark kent drinking cocoa with his mom (cocoa with the kents)
Things:

- My mom went to a tea shop in Poulsbo that I haven't been to yet and bought me this tea that is almond cookie flavored. And it does, indeed, taste just like a drinkable almond cookie. It is amazing. I think I am going to have to go to this shop and buy everything they sell.

- I was seized this morning with the urge to rewatch Blakes 7. I can't think of any reason why that would be a bad idea and anyway, I need a new knitting show. So, the only reason I am not watching Blakes 7 right now is that I'm at work. Cursed need for employment!

- We have this sort of vague Adult Winter Reading program* going on right now that's mystery themed and I have to do a week-long mystery display next week. So far, my coworkers have done mysteries set in foreign countries, romantic mysteries, and mysteries about food. I am running true to type and doing spec fic mysteries, so I've been placing holds all afternoon. I'm calling my display "It Came From Beyond the Mystery Section" because I am nothing if not ridiculous. (While doing this, I have discovered that my library doesn't have a copy of The Demolished Man, which is obviously unacceptable.)

- Yesterday, my shelving story started out being about some sort of robot separatist colony and then I eventually realized that what I was doing was essentially telling myself the plot of The Dispossessed with added robots. So maybe I should reread that some time soon. I do still kinda like my separatist robots, though.

- And then, a man named Steve Rogers called to sign up for a program we're having this weekend. I am now imagining Captain America attending our little Kingston library mystery event. It is a happy-making thought.

A logical progression:

So, yesterday, I watched a whole bunch of Quatermass. And then, in the evening, I watched Image of the Fendahl, because that is basically Quatermass and the Pit but with the Doctor and Leela added. Which, of course, led to me thinking about Kaldor City (because it also has the Fendahl). Which, of course, led to me thinking about Blakes 7.

Thus, today, when I was not making pie, I have been watching Blakes 7.

OMG, you guys, this show, I love this show. It is endlessly fascinating to me how it manages to be simultaneously so good and also so awful. How does that happen? It is amazing.
