GBBO was a thing
So the season finale for Great British Bake Off was a thing that happened and wow, it's amazing to feel your interest in a show slipping from yay to meh to ugh during a season. It's like the move from BBC started this slow slide of changing everything I loved about it. Paul gave a million of his Oh-So-Rare handshakes the first half of the season (3 an episode for two episodes in a row) before randomly switching to giving none at all. It was obvious ratings were considered when they were picking who left the tent. (And, speaking of the tent, when heat is an issue for more than one episode every year, sometimes a radical, terrible issue, maybe they should do something about it?) The signature bake this week was donuts and for the most part they weren't even appetizing to me. That says all that needs to be said about how far this show has fallen.
I've a bus test version of my yuletide fic done. It's fine, perfectly adequate, but I don't know, I may toss it and try something new. I'd initially grumbled about my assignment and its lack of much other than "whatever!" type prompt which made writing it very difficult but then I looked up the other things I could have gotten due to what I'd offered and I lucked out: a (still) placeholder letter and someone who made it obvious they really only wanted one thing (which I in no way could write). Perusing the requests summary now though, I'm not seeing a lot I can write in general. *sigh* Not sure I'll hit my treat goal this year.
Tomorrow is Half Price Candy Day!! I love Half Price Candy Days. And Orange's is my favorite (the others being pink and pastel, I don't often want to brave the stores to shop the red/green one all that often).
