May be a tad caffeinated. Bear with me and my italics.
Have been mainlining the entire series of NCIS over the last few, er, months. McGee is adorable and I want to be Abby when I grow up. (Except that I think she's actually younger than I am, which is kind of distressing.)

Also, thanks to the new movie, Shade has now awoken to a fact that I have been telling him for years, that Star Trek is all flavours of awesome and win, and I have finally managed to show him the first few episodes of TOS. And he likes it. :D I told you so! I told you so!

On rewatching the series, I've found myself starting to 'ship, of all things, Spock's parents, WTF? (Seriously! Watch Journey to Babel! They're just so cute!)

Bought Victory of Eagles, #5 in the Temeraire series. Am fifty pages in and so far it feels more...settled than her previous works. Like Novik's finally reached a level of comfort with her world and it's become more...I dunno, fluid? I realize this is staggeringly inspecific, but my brainmeats are at minimum efficiency.

Star Trek is the best, grew up with that stuff, I love all the connotations.

And I love the Temeraire series, currently I’m in the middle of book 3 and haven’t gotten much further, not because it’s not good but I haven’t been in the reading groove of late. But yeah, that series is one of the best I’ve read in a long time.

I grew up on TOS and TNG...the female characters had a major impact on my standard of beauty when I was kid. I thought false eyelashes and gravity-defying hair filmed through gauze was the ultimate in glamour. :D

Not only is it an awesome series, Naomi Novik appears to be a genuinely nice person and is really supportive of her fanbase (she got her start in fan fiction, you know). She has a livejournal, too. I would provide a link except my meds just kicked in and I need to sleep NOW before I fall over.
