Jan. 8th, 2014 10:54 pmI worked on my history websites all morning. I taught my history classes before, so I just had to upload the back-ups but then I had to update all the dates when assignments are due and it took forever. But now they are mostly done.
I also finished "The Cuckoo's Calling" by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling). I really enjoyed it. It was a good mystery - and while I picked up on a few clues it was a very clever resolution. The characters were interesting and the book was written with humor. Very nice book; I do recommend it.
I managed to go for a walk today after my Mom guilt tripped me into it. But she was right, I did not get out of the house since Sunday and it wasn't that terrible cold - 27F or so, still a little below freezing but manageable. I walked to a Chines supermarket to get plain yogurt for soup tomorrow and some lettuce and I also picked up lo mein noodles. And I got fries on the way home - lately I just want fries.
This school break I rewatched "Persuasion" and "Sense and Sensibility" movies so far and continuing my Jane Austen kick I started rewatching A&E's fabulous "Pride and Prejudice" miniseries. I'm going to pace myself, not just watch it all at once but it has been a while since I've opened my DVDs. I just watched the first episode tonight - so good. Colin Firth is great at sexy starring (both when he stared at Elizabeth and as we stare at him - I love him in this role). I didn't really like the Kiera Knightly movie - this miniseries is my definitive version.
