rodo: chuck on a roof in winter (Default)
It is January, which means it’s time for the Snowflake Challenge – and time for my yearly reminder to update my profiles. There wasn’t really much to update for me, profile-wise, so I’m going to write a bit of an update on what’s going on with me, since I’ve been rather silent in the last couple of months:

Zumi still isn’t hybernating reliably. She slept a couple of days after Christmas, finally, but apparently decided that she really wanted to show [personal profile] sevilemar her lovely snout when she visited, and then there was New Year’s…

► I had a big exam in December (results pending, but I didn’t have time to study at all and it showed…), and there are a couple more (even more important ones) coming up this year that I am not looking forward to. The first is in late February, and it’s already stressing all of us out.

► I won NaNo (despite the hell that was our SQL teacher driving me mad – we ended up rebelling, since I wasn’t the only one whose misophonia was triggered), and managed to make my [community profile] getyourwordsout target by the skin of my teeth and writing on Christmas Eve, after unwrapping presents. I signed up again, but with giving myself permission to fail terribly this time because of the exams.

► I got some lovely gifts from fandom this year, including paid time and holiday cards from [community profile] holiday_wishes (thank you, everyone!) and a wonderful Yuletide gift that was exactly what I was craving after season 3:

tl;dr: I loved it.

The long version:

So, after watching the finale I have ALL THE FEELINGS, in the absolute best way. I was a bit worried about whether or not the third season would hold up, especially once I knew that Penny wouldn’t be in it. I think for most people that would probably be a plus, but she kind of grew on me with each episode, and her ending in the second season was probably realistic but definitely a downer. But anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the quality of the series did not drop in the least. (I guess a subset is going to hate how things ended with Young Jun and Ah Sahm, but to me it makes sense and the fight was *chef’s kiss*.)

In general, there was just so much to love there: Ah Sahm trying to find himself, Mai Ling getting caught up in her schemes, Li Young getting a friend (and a bit of independence), Hong getting a boyfriend (if only he hadn’t brought his work home with him…), Ah Toy and Nellie getting beaten down (but not forever), Chao and Lee going on an involuntary road trip, Bill finally saying he’s had enough and Leary finally beating up people who deserve it. And Young Jun and Father Jun… they were just so lovely and great and a super awesome father and son relationship, violence and all.

Now I’m really hoping there’ll be a fourth season.
