bearshortyThere is some trouble with Bear’s sister and her ex-boyfriend that feels very surreal. That kind of stuff happens on TV; I never encountered people this troubled and crazy in real life. What kind of person calls ex-girlfriend’s elderly parents and threatens them, instead of just waiting for his small-claims court date with his ex? And then hits the cops that come to arrest him? There are harassments, threats to the family, restraining order, cops, jail and other stuff like that. This all is really getting to Bear who is rightfully unsettled by the whole situation since he is being threatened too and the guy is out on bail. And I wish I had a way to make this ok, since I don’t like seeing Bear upset in any way. And there is really nothing I can do other than try to stop Bear from overthinking.
I did some cross stitching this afternoon. I did the pink bear slippers today, a toilet roll and part of bear himself. I am still amused by this project.
I also started grading midterms. It is actually easier than grading papers and not just because the exams are shorter. They seem to be clearer in their idea when they had a rough draft day to think about it before the final draft day. I wish they applied this technique to regular writing. Favorite silly line of the day – “Humans have been around for decades.” Hee.
“Just Wright” It was a nice movie, I do wish the trailer did not give the plot completely away. What I really liked that her friend who was dating the guy because he was a basketball player, stepped aside rather graciously when she realized the guy is in love with Leslie. And they remained friends. I really hate stories where the other person is so obviously wrong for the main characters that it becomes a caricature. And I like that the main characters fell in love over three month where they got to know each other really well. Some of the supporting acting was subpar, but these kinds of movies are not about acting.
Highlander S6E9 Duncan as usual sleeps with any female immortal when he just meets them. And he lets her tie him up. As Methos would say, how is he still alive. They could easily kill him when he is so distracted. Good thing she was just a bounty hunter, in this case. The body count on this show has always been high. They are not afraid to kill secondary characters even good ones. Mac barely had any scenes. He was just a love interest in this story (which is actually an interesting twist. She gets to be the hero, he provides a place to stay.) Out of all girl- immortals-of-the-week this season, I liked Reagan the best. Not a bad episode once it got going.
Internet is failing me. On the last Highlander episode I heard that song again that was in the beginning of “Forgive us Our Trespasses” episode. After a massive search trying to figure out what is was I still could not find it. It is a dance club song with a fun beat. I give up.
