bearshorty Avatar S3E8 “Puppetmaster” That was the creepiest episode so far. Katara, you can’t be that dim – people disappearing during full moon, most power during the full moon – make the connection before it has to be spelled out to you. And really, following an old woman to her house who just appears when you are sitting in the wood and looks creepy is not what you do by fairy tale rules. S3E9 Some of the nightmares was really funny especially the one with Appa and Momo speaking and fighting.
Doctor Who Season 6 Episode 6 I wasn’t going to wait a week for BBC America to air this episode so YouTube it was. This was better than the first part but still underwhelming. Can’t wait for River in the next episode. The internet has figured out the Amy twist already so it wasn’t a surprise. It was a decent episode but not something I will be rewatching. Not much to say really. I miss Season 4 (my favorite season). I like Moffat as an episode writer but I don’t like him as a showrunner and planning long arcs.
My house smells of banana bread. I use Betty Crocker cookbook recipe and I love that it uses buttermilk. This recipe makes two loafs so I will probably give some to my neighbors since Laura drove me to the Russian store today to get some bread and to drop off Mama’s timesheet at her office nearby. (While I have a driver’s license, I have barely driven since then because driving in New York/New Jersey area freaks me out, so there was no way I was borrowing my parent’s car while they are away.) I also fried up some turkey and spinach sausages today and made potatoes.
I started “Catching Fire” today, second book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I’m already 75 pages in or 23% as the Kindle tells me.
I really can’t tell where the story is going or what will happen other than probably overthrow of the government by end of the trilogy or something. It is very easy to get caught up in these books. Katniss is not picking up on symbolism of mockingjays – there is some sort of underground thing going on. I guess she never watched tv shows or reads that much. How does it not occur to her that something is going on? The vomiting to eat again reminds me of Rome and the Capitol already has all kinds of Rome associations.
