A work friend recommended that I watch Warehouse 13 on Syfy, and I'm nearly caught up to the current Season 2 episodes. The premise is a little tired, what with the two government agents with Odd Couple personalities working as partners (yes, I'm looking at you, Bones and X-Files), but the fantasy aspect of the episodes and series' arcs more than makes up for it: In the world of the show, things like Alice's looking glass are real. How cool is that? And the people who work for the Warehouse (which is a super-secret government agency) are charged with tracking down such "artifacts" and containing them. The writing and acting all seem to be improving pretty much by the episode, and all in all, it's a fun thumbs up.
The most recent episode I watched, though, pretty much clinched me forever, because of its guest stars. Think of my Firefly love, and then imagine my fangirl dorkitude when I saw Kaylee and Simon show up! Together! Looking older, and so cute and sweet! It honestly made my day. Sure, their names were Loretta and Sheldon, and they were in a pie shop rather than a space ship, and no one said anyone was shiny, but there was kissing!
Aw!
Anyway, the second thing I'm dorking out over is that tomorrow my mom, The Boy, and I are headed to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Dum, DUM, da da DUM, da DUM, DUM! (That's my text version of the theme song that plays over the movies.) We're all pretty excited, but I swear my mother is bouncing off the walls. I'm pretty sure she'll cry when she sees the Hogwarts like she did when she saw Cinderella's castle the first time.
It's going to be hot and miserable, but there will be pumpkin juice and dragon races and Merlin only knows what else. We're coming back Sunday, so I'll report soon after.
Expecto patronum!
