So, bar one tiny, tiny, tiny, miniscule thing, this week's NCIS continued its trend of being WHOLLY FABULOUS. MARK HARMON PLUS KIDS. Oh wow. And Jenny! Being likable! Throwing cards! And - shallow alert - totally gorgeous! AND ABBY AND McGEE! AND EVERYONE! I loved Tony and Ziva hiking.

"Tired, DiNozzo?"
"I'm with Ziva - even the dogs are tired(!)"

THAT MADE ME LAUGH FOR A LONG TIME. !!!

Seriously, these people are SO CUTE. And that was MARTOUF! YAY! Even though he turned out to be The Bad Guy who used to sleep with DiNozzo. WHAT? You know you thought it, too.

No, seriously, I know this episode was filler, but it was so joysome! The ONLY downer was the news that Col. Awesometastic (aka Mann) has LEFT for HAWAII. Damn. No, really, damn. I loved her! Sigh. DEAR HOLLIS, I USE THIS ICON FOR YOU. I really hope you weren't anticipating coherency.

In other news, I am giving icon-making a rest for a while. SADFACE. I don't know. I can't get the thingummy to do what I need it to do, even though the caps are the same quality they've always been. I'm frustrated! I have some EXCELLENT caps! And yet: nada. Sigh, sigh.

So. GUYS. I REALLY LOVE MYTHOLOGY. And, like, linguistics! I do! They are both FABULOUS. And interesting. And ABOUT PEOPLE in the BIGGEST WAY that isn't Biology! So. What I mean is. Someone needs to make me a course that deals with these things. And I don't mean Classics. I mean. I don't know. The rank of stories! TELL ME STORIES. I love stories! I love verbs! I love that I can make a noun a verb, even if that's technically incorrect! GRAMMAR. God, where would I be without grammar? WITHOUT APOSTROPHES?! And, and, and: CONJUNCTIONS. And PRONOUNS. Wouldn't life be boring without pronouns? GERTRUDE STEIN, YOU CRAZY WOMAN, WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST NOUNS? NAMES?
