the_rckI've gotten no writing done, but I have completed my link finding. There were several things that were borderline as to whether or not I should include them in ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
metanews. I'm never sure how strict or liberal to be with the definitions, and some days I include or exclude things that, on another day, I'd have made a different decision about. Today, I tended not to link most things. The exception is podcasts. I don't actually listen to the podcasts I encounter to evaluate whether they're meta or not; that would take a lot more time than I have to spend, and some of them focus on fandoms I know nothing whatsoever about. I just tend to assume they're close enough and to try to include enough information from the podcast blurb that people know what they're getting into.
I'm debating keeping Agents of SHIELD season one aside for Scott's birthday which is in February. That would be long enough after his rewatch that it wouldn't feel so wrong. Of course, I don't know for sure that he still wants the boxed set after having watched the whole season on Netflix. The extras don't sound that thrilling. I don't want to fuss with returning the boxed set as getting to the post office is a fairly major undertaking, but I haven't entirely decided not to return the dratted thing. I suppose I could give the sealed package to Scott and not tell him what's in it. He has to go to the post office anyway to mail the package to our nephew.
I should start writing, but I think I'm more likely to bake brownies. That won't take long, and it would be another thing I can point to as an accomplishment for the day. I think I'll try making them extra thick (partly because I want the 9x13 pan for other things). I will have to measure my small pan-- I'm not sure if it's 8x8 or 9x9, and there's about a fifteen minute difference in the recommended cooking times. I do need to take time soon to print out some of the recipes I have on my hard drive. I just have to look through them and decide which of them I can reasonably attempt. We have a lot of different flavors of chips-- chocolate, mint, and butterscotch at the very least-- but I'd like to make something besides chip bars and fudge. Then again, Cordelia doesn't seem to particularly want a large variety of cookies. I'm just thinking that Scott's mother and sister may not be baking much this year (Scott's mother can't have gluten, Scott's father has recently developed diabetes, and Scott's sister is avoiding all refined sugar). I like having cookies on Christmas day, and there may not be any if we don't bring them.

Even if you don't do it this time, it may be a good option to have in your arsenal for future use.
