Monday, Monday.

I am being productive, again! Just a bunch of little things, though: turned in my travel reimbursement voucher (Mmmm, money. About a hundred and seventy dollars), did some configuration and order prep for new computers (WHEE), and some basic little office stuff. Have more to do.

Sadly, my store will not be recieving Oblivion until /tomorrow/, so I pine sadly for it. Pine, pine pine. Especially since I get out of class early today. We're supposed to be released before six, even! YAY! And over the weekend, I finished Miracles.

Miracles is a /really/ good show. If it suffers from anything, it's that it starts out as so much Paul's story that the rest of the cast is clearly NPCed...they only matter in relation to how they affect Paul. This is especially true of Evelyn Santos, the former police officer who has, despite being the only one of the trio with any sort of formal combat training, been relegated to the role of secretary. She's also got a bullet stuck in her head, which we never find out the story behind, although I'm assuming that it's her 'trigger event' to use Unknown Armies parlance. (And Miracles is /such/ a UA game)

[livejournal.com profile] cpip, also, it's notable for the fact that it also portrays the average masses as believers, or capable of belief, rather than going the 'everyone but Our Heros are unimaginative skeptics to the point of absurdity' route. It explores the problems of that in some episodes, and thus might be worth looking through when we start writing up stuff about ordinary humans in UF.
