Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

"SHRINK TOGETHER, YOU BASTARD!"

I got a card from SailAweigh! I'm getting Christmas cards and packages from people whose voices I've never heard, much less met in real life. I adore this.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Which series is better MI-5 or Spooks?

What ita said. Spooks *rocks*. MI-5 seems... oddly jumpy. Turns out we lost most of the B-stories and character stuff.

I missed something -- aren't they the same show? Called Spooks in the UK, and MI-5 in the States?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Same show, but Spooks is massively cut for the US broadcast as MI-5 (hence the missing 18 minutes).

I'm ready for 2004 to be over. It hasn't been all bad since we bought a house that we love, DH got a job, and I got a new job that may or may not end up in promotion, however my health hasn't been the best. I'm ending the year with a bout of Ramsay Hunt syndrome that has left me with facial paralysis (Bell's Palsy) on the left half of my face. No smiling for me for a while. I notice today that I'm starting to blink my left eye a little faster so hopefully we caught it in time so I'll make a full recovery.

I wish everyone a prosperous and happy 2005.

Trust my rage

Lovely, lovely Caribbean vacation. A whole new part of the world to discover (and I saw a capybara at the St. Maarten Zoo!).

Just had to say that I was at the exact same place last month. The turtles were our favorites. The zoo and the french bread were the two best things about St. Maarten, IMO.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

God, I was gonna visit Teppy, too, and that hasn't happened because of work. I suck.

No, I think it's your *job* that's sucking your life. Or at least your time.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Same show, but Spooks is massively cut for the US broadcast as MI-5 (hence the missing 18 minutes).

Which are back on the DVD release, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've only found S1 at Netflix, but yes. I can't wait. I don't know if Tom will suddenly make sense, but it can't hurt. 18 minutes is a lot. I wish they could have just inflated it to 90 minutes.
