Get a straight answer from my boss about when I can go on vacation so I can chose my Xmas travel options (i.e., please don't let all the flights to Tampa be sold out)
Write a post expressing my displeasure with AMC’s The Prisoner (which I finished watching this past Sunday), particularly the writer’s decision to consign every major female character to obliteration, one way or another.
Excavate holiday decorations from hall closet for home and cubicle.
The original series had some disposable pseudo-love interests, but it also had a lot of capable, competent women who clearly had lives independent of Number Six, some of whom were villains (including a few Number Twos). I find it really sad that a show from the 1960s has more rounded female characters than its twenty-first-century sequel/homage.
