My parents got a treadmill! and it's built in a way I can put my tablet on it, so now I can exercise and watch mindless tv shows at the same time. SCORE.

So in that vein, I'm almost done with Arrow season 1. It's been more enjoyable since there hasn't been any island flashbacks. I fucking hate the island flashbacks. What's gonna be there next, flying monkeys? Flying ninja monkeys?? Everyone's a damned ninja there, I wouldn't put it out of the question.

I've always been really, really weirded out at how boring I find Laurel. I mean, she's a plucky, daring lawyer who sticks out for people who can't! She's like, the very definition of my kind of beloved character! And yet I find her super dull. I DON'T GET IT. I mean, Katie Cassidy is not the world's greatest actress, but she was actually pretty entertaining as Ruby? WHAT HAPPENED. Ah well.

In any case, Felicity was recently undercover in a casino putting her foot in her mouth and everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

Working from home today, as I have the mother of all colds. I would prefer to ditch work altogether, but I needed to finish some stuff for a meeting held all tuesdays. Ugh.

I dreamt a practically complete Arrow episode on Saturday night (which involved a cunning plan of someone poisoning a cat - bastards - to bring a kid to his dad's grave to bury the cat and then kill him and then use plastic helicopter blades to fly the earth away to, I don't know, another universe I suppose. All of this explained by Donna from Parks and Rec. I really don't know). So I took it to be a not so subtle way of my brain requesting I actually watch the series.

So I started watching it! I was expecting the start of it to be Vampire-Diaries-Pilot levels of bad, and while everyone is stiff and whatnot it wasn't nearly as bad, so I'm sticking with it. Fandom has promised me Oliver/Felicity are endgame and if they're not I shall be very, very mad.

And in other news, Hannibal was just as suspenseful, beautiful, creepy and horrifying as was expected. THANK GOD YOU'RE BACK, SHOW.
