Friday I had a blast hanging out with pretty much my only friend down here. We watched our dance studio perform at our local mall and then had dinner at Steak & Shake before sitting around the fire at her house chatting and having some wine. It was heavenly and such a nice release after the long awful day.
Overall the entire weekend was absolutely wonderful because my husband actually had both Saturday and Sunday off of work. He NEVER gets the weekends off. It was so nice to actually spend some time with him! We didn't wake up until one o'clock on Saturday and none of the Merlin streams were working so we just hung out until we went and watched the UFC fights. John Bones Jones kept his light heavyweight title, so that was exciting. Also rather pleased that Machida (sp?) at least went a couple rounds, as I've always had a soft spot for him.
Sunday I got up early and watched a couple movies.

Splice was really super weird and I highly suggest never ever submitting yourself to that torture. It was fine until a little over halfway through and the thing starts having sex with everyone. WEIRD. Then I watched Roomate and it was also disturbing, but still a good movie. Was excited to see both Kat and Nina from TVD in it.
On Sunday I watched Merlin finally YAY
( Thoughts... )Finally read one of the books from my stack of 'to read'. Not having homework is making my life so much better!

It was pretty good. The ending wasn't what I expected, but good nevertheless. Actually has a substantial shout out to the stuck in a tree legend of Merlin which had me laughing and then kinda crying. I was all 'NO! I'm reading this book to be good and do something outside of fandom, and then you do this to me!' But still, worth the read. It really just felt good to read a "real" book again =D
Then Sunday night Once Upon a Time happened.
( Thoughts... )Also on Sunday I wrote 2k for my
merlinreversebb fic! SO HAPPY! I've had a serious case of writers block for two weeks. I've had the document open every time I've been sitting at my computer and still nothing. For some reason my muse decided to cooperate yesterday and tada! More than halfway done with the story! Trying to get this one wrapped up so I can start my fic for
merlin_games.
All in all a VERY productive and fun weekend! Now it's Monday and so far the evil guy of doom hasn't made me go through my list yet. Thank goodness. Hopefully it stays that way =D Btw, if you haven't checked out the amazing amazing stuff over at
merlin_holidays, GO DO IT!
