Topic of the week
I took Monday and Tuesday off this week, to play catchup on life. It got me thinking about how I use vacation time, and what makes my life easier.

What do you do that improves your life? (Especially if it's a somewhat new thing.)

What I've been up to:
I am now cheerfully into the Martha seasons of New Who. But today, I'd love to rec a podcast, This Is Love (from the same people who do Criminal, which I also like a lot).

I listened to episode 5, "A Private Life" on the way into work this morning, and it is both adorable and a fascinating view of legal history around same-sex marriage and changing attitudes.

One thing I've started doing VERY recently which is improving my life - and which is thanks to you - is tracking comments on Dreamwidth entries.

Until you mentioned it a few days ago, I didn't realise that it was a thing which I could do!

So, thank you for that! ^_^

I just learned it's something I can do! I'm definitely going to be doing this from now on.

re your icon: A. and I bought all 5 seasons of Leverage as our Christmas present this year. One thing that made me happy when watching the commentary is discovering that autistic!Parker is canon!

Autistic!Parker had been my headcanon since the first time watching the series anyway, but when watching the commentaries, I believe it was in the commentary for "The Juror #6 Job" (one of my faves) that they said their concept for Parker was that she was somewhere on the autistic spectrum.

—ah, so Word of Author confirming the headcanon, not canon per se.

(I nitpick, don't mind me :P )

still awesome
