Seriously, I adore Ripper Street. It's like everything I've ever wanted in a show. Last night's was even better than usual, because it was all about the Russians infiltrating the unions in London and planting a warehouse bomb. Some things don't change in 125 years. And Reed is just all kinds of awesome. I like that we get a glimpse of everyone's past each week; just bits and pieces you have to put together. I'm hoping for a massive season finale.

I feel like I have something to make up for the loss of Sanctuary now.

In other news...I'm nearly finished with Spooks. This depresses me immensely.

In still other news, I wrote 3000 words of a Ros Myers Spooks fic yesterday night at 11pm.

And 2000 words of a Fili & Kili perspective of the events of the Hobbit, which is entirely too depressing about them not having a clue what they are getting into. Which will of course end in disaster. Why am I doing this to myself? It's grav_ity's fault.

I feel this icon is justifiably appropriate.

In about 45 minutes we get to see the unveiling of the Richard III reconstruction. I am EXCITED. I miss archaeology. I am very, very proud of the U of L Arch Dept. today. I am massively thrilled to be living in Leicester right now. I am super happy the exhibit opens on Friday (going Sunday). And, lastly, it is more than a little fantastic that #RichardIII became the top trending subject of Twitter today. Take THAT SuperBowl.
