bearshortyInstant box mashed potatoes freak me out. Yahoo had an article judging the best one. Because it is so hard to boil potatoes and then mash them, putting some milk and butter in? I know they are just dehydrated but I find them creepy.
I just have one work day this week – tomorrow. And I’m only doing a lecture on Black Death and then a peer review workshop. So a pretty easy day, I think. I was looking up clips on YouTube I would like to show like the flagellant scene from “The Seventh Seal” and the Monty Python clip. And, of course, I will show the Black Death video set to Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” because it is a great way to remember the information.
I finally tried “Once Upon a Time” and the logistics of the story baffle me. If time is stopped how does Henry grow up? This keeps me really distracted as I watch. As usual, I will give this show a few more episodes to decide. The pilot was fine but it just left me with so many questions I can’t easily handwave and it is messing with my show enjoyment because I need logic in my shows. Like is the Evil Queen aware she is evil? Can Emma really tell when someone is lying? I think the answer to both these questions is yes, but I’m not sure. So it didn’t instantly grab me like “Grimm” but is it a very different show and I feel like I need to give it a couple of more episodes.
Dexter S6E6 Finally watched it today, two weeks later. I do like this season but it seems…mild…compared to other seasons. Did Debra really not love Quinn at all? After a year? I wish we had more Brother Sam.
I really love that when the time approaches for students to turn in their paper (or a rough draft in this case) because someone’s computer always “crashes” and “everything gets lost.” Right. Because I believe that so much.
