Séan: Gabh mo leithscéal. Cá bhfuil cónaí ar Mháirtín Ó Gallchóir?
Fear: Lean ort leathmhíle eile agus cas ar chlé ag an gcrosaire. Téigh síos an bóthar sin píosa. Tá roinnt tithe ann. Níl mé cinnte cén ceann. An dara ceann, b'fhéidir. Cuir ceist ar dhuine éigin thíos ann.


Síle: Gabh mo leithscéal. Tá mé ag lorg teach Thomáis Uí Cheallaigh.
Bean: An máistir scoile, an ea?
Síle: Is ea. Sin é atá uaim.
Bean: Tá tú imithe tharais. Téigh ar ais an bóthar seo arís. Ná cas ag an chéad chrosaire. Cas ar dheis ag an dara crosaire agus ní bheidh sé i bhfad uait ansin.


Pádraig: Gabh mo leithscéal. An tusa Bean Uí Bhaoill?
Fear: Ní mé. Tá sí ina cónaí trasna an bhóthair. An bhfeiceann tú an doras buí os do chomhair amach? Sin é an teach.
Pádraig: Go raibh maith agat.
Fear: Tá fáilte romhat.


Deirdre: Cá bhfuil Oifig an Phoist, le do thoil?
Bean: Tá sé díreach trasna na sráide ón séipéal.
Deirdre: An mbíonn sé ar oscailt ag am lóin?
Bean: Bíonn, chomh fada agus is eol dom. Níl sé i bhfad uait, ar aon nós.


Tiománaí: Líon suas í.
Freastalaí: Maith go leor. Tá sé go han-bhreá.
Tiománaí: Tá, cinnte. An nglacann sibh le cártaí creidmheasa?
Freastalaí: Glacann, gan amhras.
Tiománaí: An bhfuil mé ar an mbóthar ceart go Leitir Ceanainn?
Freastalaí: Tá. Deich míle soir ón áit seo atá sé. Cas ar chlé ag an gcrosaire roimh an séipéal. Lean ort go mall. Bí ag faire amach don chomhartha bóthair.


I keep wanting to go check on my plants and see if the more proper watering did anything, except 12 hours or so isn't enough to perk up the plants THAT much. I am not good at this whole patience thing, have I mentioned that?

And I'm almost out of new-to-me Mentalist. Woe. I mean, on the plus side, no more Simon Baker smiling in ways that make me want to hide under the covers, but still kind of woe. I actually appear to have underestimated Bruno Heller's ability to play a long game and make it interesting. Which I shouldn't have, given his previous track record, but I did. I don't think I'll be doing that again anytime soon.

Things I need to do today: edit Blood in the Gutters since I do have a draft of Gods and Monsters up and oh god, the plot just kept unfurling and wouldn't shut up yesterday. And then White Lightning and a check-in post this afternoon. But in addition to the other things I need to do pretty soon, this weekend I need to go through the logs of the past week and write down all the shit for the next X "seasons" of G&M so I have the outline all there. Yes, that's how I figured out how to make a serial structure that works for reader interest and so on, structure it like a goddamn TV show. Murder novels are structured similar to episodes of procedurals, after all. Hopefully this'll work too.

Aand stuff. Things. Grimm is off the air, which means we're ramping up to do Haven on Murderboarding as well as Person of Interest, which is going to be a job of work. And I've got that scheduled for weekend mornings so I have large blocks of time in which to do my share of it, but, hoo boy. At least they're short 10-12 episode seasons. But just in watching the pilot we've found all kinds of little details that they threw in that make us swear a lot and. Yeah. Hoo boy.

Still, I'm feeling surprisingly chipper for the time of the month and the achiness and tubby feeling. It's not even precisely fat or bloated, it's tubby. And achey. Crampy. Ugh. But I got sleep last night. I think that's the reason, I actually slept. It's amazing what sleep will do.

Apropos of nothing, selenak wrote a much more coherent piece on being reluctant to watch Hannibal which about sums up all my reluctance, only better worded and more eloquent. Mads Mikkelsen aside, I have every faith in its production values (unlike a few other shows I will not be returning to), I just... Hannibal. Mmph.

I just shy so hard back from Hannibal. Even though everyone who has started watching seems to love it. (EVERY. ONE. How does that even work?)

But, YAY stuff to do and stuff done!

[kittydesade]

I am so, so tired of that freaking franchise. I mean, I'm glad that Mads Mikkelsen is getting work, I love him as an actor, and I rather like Bryan Fuller as a showrunner, too. But. So tired of Hannibal freaking Lecter. And I'm guessing the ones who didn't are keeping their mouths shut for fear/pre-emptive exhaustion of getting jumped on about "BUT WHY DON'T YOU LIKE IT."

I seem to be grabbing hold of all the productive while I have energy. Go figure.

[kikibug13]

Sob. How bad is it that I was unwilling to poke at the franchise a long time ago? I mean, I love Silence of the Lambs. It's brilliant. But I have seen none of the follow-up movies and have no wish to...? So you can guess my eagerness to watch the show.
But, yeah, that would make sense. SIGH.

HAH YES GOOD PLAN.

[kittydesade]

I saw Silence and Red Dragon and loved both of them. And then I saw Hannibal and that was okay, but at the same time, gratuitous enough that I was very nervous about reading the book? (More due to quality than squemishness). And then I did read the book and decided that he'd written the characters so far off what he'd started them as that this was not my beloved FBI agent anymore, this was not my love to fear him villain, and I was never touching it again. So, yeah.

Makes logic. Makes a lot of logic!
