... I've been wondering why I haven't seen someone around lately. I thought they simply weren't around. I just discovered that they de-Friended me again, which makes it so I can't see their posts in their friends-only journal. **yawns.** And the cycle continues. If the person's reasons from the past are still the case, apparently I just don't post anything they're interested in reading.

Yes, this has happened more than once in the past, with this person. By now it isn't much of a surprise anymore.

My Patty Duke Show fic is coming along nicely. I think I have Act 1 done. That's the halfway point. Then there's Act 2 and the epilogue. I'm idly writing it for [livejournal.com profile] 31_days's Amnesty Day on the 30th, where you can write for any prompt that month. This is supposed to be for #8, "Change comes from the inside, you know", but I don't know if I'll have it done for sure by then.

I also finished chapter 6 of the Tutu thriller fic. I expect to start chapter 7 in a few minutes.

I was right about the complete set of Patty Duke seasons shooting higher than I can pay. One person really wants it; they apparently set a high maximum bid. But that's alright; I went and bought season 1 using my discount coupon and plan to get hold of season 2 soon. Season 3 I'm discovering I really don't like as much as the other two, saving a few particular episodes, which I'm recording as they air. Oddly enough, when I first came in religiously it was season 3 and after starting over with season 1, I liked 3 better. Maybe the later episodes of season 3 are better than most of the early ones.

They seemed to change the format of the show a bit with season 3. I think season 2 was its high point; in season 1 they were still feeling things out and in season 3 they altered things I enjoyed. For instance, they don't seem to focus on school goings-on. And that cuts down on the scenes with their minor character friends both at school and at the shake shop. I miss those scenes. What's more, the minor character friends around now seem to be entirely new. I haven't seen any familiar faces from the past two seasons.

The good things about season 3 include awesome moments between Patty and her brother Ross. Of course, the other seasons had them too, but I think by season 3 they're noticeably closer. (And Ross looks older and is really getting even cuter....) In general, the episodes I want to record from season 3 have a lot of Ross.

Ross delivers awesomely hilarious straight-faced lines. In the episode this morning, he encountered a weirdo from the drama club who was banging his head on the wall and would only talk to Ross as his character from the school play. As he departed Ross said, "You should stop off at a gas station and have them tighten your bolts." **snarks.** LOL.

The reason I'm getting season 1 first if I like 2 best is because season 1 has the majority of the episodes with the Autor look-alike. Season 2 only has two or three, one of which I have recorded. But I definitely want season 2 as soon as possible. It features two of the minor characters who are important in my fic/verse. Season 1 has the other of them.
