I made fried potatoes for dinner after my omelet plan went awry after one of the peppers did not look right. But potatoes were really good.
This day has been a bit weird – I was a bit lazy and I really can’t afford to be. Well, tomorrow is a new start and I’m going to make it count. A year ago I was in Minsk, visiting my family and my birth city, waiting to turn 30. And it has been an interesting year. I really like being in my 30s. This year I got to teach history again, which was unexpected and interesting and I really learned a lot about world history myself. And I started writing fanfic too. And I met interesting people online too. I had good trips to New Hampshire and Montauk. I watched and fell in love with “Highlander” and “Queer As Folk UK”. And my friends and I are really adults now, it feels like, especially with Marianna’s baby about to be born any day. This past year definitely had many good memories. I’m looking forward to being 31 because it actually feels like a crucial year. Either I finish my dissertation or I’m done. Either Bear and I move in together or …not something I want to contemplate but I know I can’t be in limbo anymore on anything. So this year feels important but I really need to take it one day at a time and figure out my life.
Avatar: TLA S3 E13-15 I love Zuko being part of the group and his interactions with everyone and I really liked Zuko and Sokka prison break adventure – it was a nice break from the group. Those two work together surprisingly well – Zuko with his impulsiveness and Sokka with his plans and inventiveness. And Suki rocked and so did Mei. I’m nearing home stretch.
SYTYCD Atlanta auditions were great - great girls with bodies of real people and great guys too. (I refused to watch the last ten minutes of wacky auditions and went to the other room to go online). New York auditions were great too – lots of impressive people. And I really love it that this year the producers are showing mostly great auditions and very little terrible ones. Very excited for Season 8.
“Men of Certain Age” is back! I love this show.
There was a TV spot for TNT’s “Falling Skies” the Spielberg’s alien invasion tv show. I won’t have time for it this summer but I would be interested in reading reviews for future reference.

Ooh, I hadn't heard about "Falling Skies", but it sounds interesting! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it!

I love your icon, it makes me want cupcakes and ice-cream!
