"I'm my mother, I'm my father, I'm chipped beef on toast?"

Okay, so, highs in the low sixties and 48 hours of rain was not quite what I intended when I said I wanted a break from the heat, but then again, it's a change from 100F. And at least we aren't burning away like Texas. I'll take it. Apparently the rest of the week will be nice, anyway. There's a park I never knew about that I'm aiming to check out with my camera one day soon, and this will be perfect weather.

Fannishly, I'm still rewatching Northern Exposure in no particular order. It's a little more organized than throwing darts at a list blindfolded, but not much. I've rediscovered some gems I'd forgotten about. "Wake Up Call" is much better than I always remember it as, despite Maggie's stalker bear, mostly because LEONARD. Moreover, Leonard diagnosing Joel as bored with his practice because he himself is boring, and when he gets angry, saying he's no longer boring because now he's mad, and that's interesting. Bwahahah. I can never decide if Leonard, Bernard, Adam, or Eve is my favorite reoccurring character. Maybe they all are.

Still poking at the idea of a rewatch comm. Maybe I'll float the idea over at n_exposure and see if anyone bites.

I also got to working on my "Burning Down the House" post-ep where Maggie asserts her unassailable right as Joel's landlord to crash at his cabin when her mother burns hers down, and I think I might actually be nearing an endpoint! It was originally supposed to be just bickering and UST that could slot neatly into that point in the series canon-wise, but, uh, they were very strongly in favor of other things, so it's now bickering, UST, and Other Stuff that makes it into an AU. Whee.
