Winter again?

jebbypalUgh, it goes without saying, but I really detest it. Cold induced shiver, yuck. Having to wear too many clothes and/or thick coats, yuck. A business place that is incapable of climate control or any sort of construction space planning (the landlord seems to not undestand why we would want a separate printer plug in in the new space. Why can't we just plug it into one of the cubicle power outlets? *head desk*).
At least there's still color for a bit in the tree leaves. I am most definitely going somewhere warm and greed in February/march.
So, I love the ipad. It's great to be able to do all the reading and things in comfort on the couch. Of course, it reinforces the need for me to get my ass off the couch as well. It is as I thought that being able to buy books without effort would be a bad thing. I've spent more on the kindle in the past 3 months than I spent in a year on my sony ereader.
as a result, I've managed to read all the Toby Daye series by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seanan_mcguire in the past 2 weeks. yes, I admit that I have an addiction gene and instead of drugs/liquor, I spend mine on procrastination + reading. If I could find a self help group, I'd get around to attending someday. maybe.
But seriously, if you haven't read this series and like urban fantasy at all, run, don't walk, and read it. It's a wonderfully built world that recognizes the problems of Fairy in modern day and works with them. Moreover, the characters don't stagnate and have a reset button when a new book starts. Instead, they grow and evolve, which is wonderful (I'm looking at you Stephanie Plum).
Of course, this all contributes to making me itch at the fact that I don't have an active fandom right now. Fringe S1 is so long ago and while the show continues to be fun, it's not my show anymore. Ditto squared for doctor who. 11 just isn't my doctor and makes me long for 9 and 10. And there's not quite enough good 9 fic out there y'all.
Even avengers fic and the various crossovers are making me kind of roll my eyes right now. Which all drives home that it's winter. :( And no good ps3 games have ever come out because i don't like first person shooters. and while everyone else loves oblivion, it just drives me batty.
So I think I'm going to go and rewatch Firefly, and Farscape, and Push, and see if I can wake the muse back up or something. Otherwise this is going to be a very long winter occupied with work projects that have clients that make me almost hate my career and are trying to turn it into a job.
