in preparation for the AU

[nny]

Watching NCIS for the second time, it's clear how much more I've fallen in love with the characters and suchlike; I'm noticing so many things, subtle character moments that I missed before, and things that were vaguely upsetting the first time are now making my mascara run.

The mascara is interesting. I'm making more of an effort with my appearance at the moment, because my hair is frankly rockin' and I look in the mirror and see... kind of the person I always wanted to be? I swear it's affecting me psychologically, I'm feeling generally more upbeat and organised and efficient at work, not counting random hormonal-based downswings, which really don't get to count. I'm also trying to do more exercise, which is kind of off and on at the moment. I've had a few lapses, but for the most part I'm doing part of an exercise vid when I get up in the morning (yeah, I'm working my way up to doing all of it, shutupI'munfitIknow) and doing a twenty minute yoga set before bed. Gradually working up to fitness, because there's nothing like doing something drastic in one go to totally put you off the concept altogether. I really don't have a problem with how fat I am, mostly, but I really want to feel fit, and already it's doing good things for my energy levels at work.

Another healthsome thing, for those UKers who haven't heard of it yet: www.graze.com, which is awesome healthy food; definitely worth investigating, and you can get your first box free with this code:

Since they're also doing the first box at half price at present, that's a pretty sweet deal. Also for UK folken, greenmetropolis.com is a good second hand book site which involves tree planting and such; some of my old books are up for sale there so I pimp. :D

Need to put words around the projects I'm attempting this year, and possibly codenames. More on that when my brain's a little better organised. For now, NCIS 3x01. :(

How odd, I've just cancelled my graze boxes! (I was leaving too much uneaten). They are a good idea though!

I'm going to use them as packed lunches, because three times a week I work through lunch time and can't heat up my usual leftovers. :D

Yes, they're useful for those kind of situation.

I realized, watching NCIS the second time around, that the reason I stopped religiously watching the show every week is because I ♥ Kate. I still miss her sooo much it's ridiculous.

But! Tim/Tony = excellence, and Abby is irresistible, and Ziva is... Ziva.
