An icy day. I defied my fear of falling on the ice and went shopping. Mostly in a mall, thank goodness, but I did have to walk the half kilometer to and from the bus stop. Going there: not bad. Coming home: truly scary. It was getting dark and cold, so the ice was more slippery. Luckily I ran into a woman on my street whom I know from French class. Having someone to talk to about mundane things like language courses kept me from worrying. Aside from the icy wind outside the apartment, I got home fine. Exhausted from shopping, but fine.

I think I have bought all the Christmas presents I need to now. I hope so.

I wrapped a bunch of presents, and then [personal profile] random, [personal profile] fairestcat, [livejournal.com profile] raynedaze and [livejournal.com profile] auriaephiala came over for a fannish dinner and viewing pleasure. I should have bought more food, and in other circumstances would have, but there was no way I was going out again with that ice. So I made vegtetable-bean soup with what was in the fridge and cuboard, and spaghetti con aglio e olio. To my delight, they all like whole wheat spaghetti. It wasn't exactly what the nutritionist had on my list to eat today, but it was delicious - and nutritious.

We saw two episodes of Burn Notice, 1x04 "Old Friends" and 1x05, "Family Business". I enjoy Burn Notice well enough, but don't find I have much to say about it.

Then we watched the Christmas episode of Leverage, 3x14, "The Ho Ho Ho Job". Loved it. It had just the right edge of self-satire - something that's difficult to pull off with dignity. Parker was (as usual) delightful, and both Eliot and Hardison had some really great moments. I liked Sophie more here than have yet to date. Hard to say why. And... delightful plot. It seemed mundane (albeit silly) until the moment when Nate realized he'd been had.
