... it does bring tears and contemplation. And, later, laughter. Yes, I was shocked to wake up from a much-needed nap at 5:55 p.m. to turn to the news channel and find out that one of my iconic actors, Leonard Nimoy, was gone from our plane of existence. Later in the evening, I found and shared some terrific posts on FB, including the one that was a video compilation of some of the quirkiest and funniest scenes from TOS. And that's when I couldn't stop laughing. Unfortunately, I'd donated almost all of my ST vids before my 2013 move, so all I have left is the animated series (at least his voice is used) and "All Our Yesterdays" with Mariette Hartley. Which means I'll be able to see one of his rare smiles whenever I want to.
For the rest of my day, I woke up around 9 (which felt early because I'd stayed up and rewatched the outrageous epi of this week's Castle). I booked my ride to the movie theatre for next Friday (got the ride), even though I hadn't yet heard back from my sis. But she did e-mail me, so everything's cool. Even if the theatre isn't showing "The Theory of Everything", there are lots of terrific movies we can see. Then I watched this week's The Blacklist (with some great psychological insights from Liz) and Ascension (which still rubs me the wrong way, but there are only a few more epis to go). After my urgently needed nap (because of all that TV watching), I rewatched this week's Murdoch Mysteries, demonstrating that I really need to watch TV when I'm fully conscious - I'd missed way too many salient points. My final TV of the day was this week's Glee. Apart from the uplifting moments and messages, we're left with a revisit by Psycho-Sue. That's one character I won't be missing when the show ends.
Tonight I'm enjoying my Christmas deccies for the last time, as I'll be taking them down tomorrow morning. Was madly hunting down one of my Christmas gifties (a gift certificate), but found it in an envelope in my purse. No, don't ask when the last time I cleaned it was! Well, it was Christmas Eve. ::giggles::
