Torched Wood.
Aug. 7th, 2011 08:47 amI have a new avocation, nights and weekends: killing stuff. Specifically, the beginnings of a Sure Wood Forest that's been slowly growing in our back yard over the past decade. Eleanor spray-painted a bunch of candidates for demolition, and I've been gradually getting at them over the past week and kicking them (a) to death and (b) to the curb.
Some are mere saplings, but at least a few so far have been genuine NBA height. It's taken a full regimen of weapons to get the job done: saws, cutters, shovels, trowels, and especially fingernails. Nasty dirty fingernails. But it's coming along.

After a good bout of that early yesterday, I planted my own sorry butt for a bit and caught up through all but the most recent of the Miracle Day episodes. That, too, is coming along; as promised, most of my early hesitations have been answered, and I think I'm in for the duration.
( What-I'm-liking spoilers )
( What-I'm-NOT-liking spoilers )
Sometime in the next few days, I'll be all caught up to the halfway point. That will end this diversion, more or less, in time for us to all go kill Hitler!
