Mistletoe's Musings

We've made considerable progress, but AOL still has a significant number of backed-up notifications. They're stored and will be delivered as soon as we can resolve the underlying issue.

No help to me there. I don't have many notifications, but having none is infinitely annoying.

Speaking of infinitely annoying we have arrived at a non-Bones Thursday AGAIN and the last two episodes of Season 3 seem to fit the mood.

India are about to finish Australia's interest in defending the World Cup with any luck and I am about to watch thirtysomething when they do. The weather has been properly Springlike this week although it is supposed to cool down for the weekend. Typical.

Here are a few icons from The Blackout in the Blizzard

Cold here. I'm watching the Cheltenham Festival this week which is National Hunt's horse racing highlight and very close to the hearts of the Irish who come over in droves. They had a really successful day yesterday winning 6 of the 7 races. I tipped two winners on Tuesday, but only the one yesterday when there were a  lot of big priced winners.

Let's get most of Season 3 finished. I'll leave the last two episodes until later because I want to look at a specific thing about Booth that got me quite annoyed when I did my rewatch.

Still no rich text posting. Ha! See if I care.

Observe:( Icons from the latest episode: Not the Peloponnesian Wars! )

So I'm braving the fog now for a little run to the shops. But, coffee first!

So Bones





THIS IS THE FIRST EPISODE THIS SEASON I HAVE WANTED TO WATCH AGAIN.

LJ is being a complete arse and not allowing rich text posting on my entries. What a pain as I am in need of not having to code the whole entry. LJ Hook is my saviour.

Anyhoo. First here are my banners of victory!!!









Cool huh?

So with Boothiness in mind and my fingers crossed that this doesn't take 6 hours to do in html, let us look at the next two episodes of Season 3 Booth.

That did take six hours!

More icons for you to look at. I am having a rest after these!

( Round 4 Seeley Booth )

Aaaah what a morning! In a good way. Steve Bruce and Niall Quinn (my uber-hero) were on Goals on Sunday this morning and I know I am biased but what common sense they talked. It's not usual for the chairman of a football club to be an ex-player (I can't think of another one in this country) and a former player for the club to boot. Manager yes, but not chairman. He's not even from the area: he's Irish, but he has such a passion for Sunderland football club he more or less bought it; or at least put together a group of business men to do it for him. And when they ran out of money he went and found someone else. What a man!

Speaking of passion and what a man, I've got more to say about Booth (oh there's a surprise. Mid season 3 Booth in fact starting from an episode I really enjoy: Mummy in the Maze and then further thoughts from The Intern in the Incinerator.

Heh! Manchester United are talking to no one after their defeat to Liverpool this afternoon. Dummies are on the floor all over Anfield.

This was actually one that _missmargaret_  recommended the other day and I was impressed by it. It's all posted now so if you don't like wips then no worries on that score.

Based on the premise that Booth didn't say anything to Brennan outside the Hoover at the end of The Sum of the Parts in the Whole, how would their relationship be different from the get go?  Very long, but worth the effort I would say. Peripheral

Seeing as it's Thursday and there is nothing happening for 3 weeks I was able to fiddle on. Here are some iconses, mostly from The Bikini in the Soup

As ever you are welcome to take any that appeal.
My caps:
Bikini in the Soup (1-15
Bullet in the Brain (21)
a_lot_of_heart caps:
Daredevil in the Mold (16-20)
