bearshortyAfter three weeks of slow reading I finally finished “Norse Myths.” After weeks of putting it of, I knew I would run out of library renewal so I started reading a story or two in the mornings. I had to return it to the library today. It is not like I was bored or didn’t like the stories. On the contrary, this was a good edition and myths themselves were entertaining and fun. But for some reason my brain refused to just read the book for more than one story at a time. But at least now I feel like I have a nice knowledge of Norse gods and stories. In fact, Odin appears in “Changes” and it was fun to get the references.
I rarely watch “South Park” but sometimes it catches my attention. This is an episode that mocks Facebook and it is hilarious. My parents sit on the Russian social networking site (classmates caught on big time a few years ago) and it is funny how far they get into it. I refuse to be on those sites because, first of all, I don’t want my students to access it and, second, I really don’t need to waste time like that, I have enough timewasters. And most importantly I really don’t want my personal information out there anymore than it has to be.
Buffy Season 8 #34. Too much naked time. Way more Bangel sex than I ever wanted to see. My eyes were traumatized a bit. I don’t mind that the characters had sex, I just didn’t need to see so much of it in such detail. I think the story is starting to lose me. To quote Xander’s incredulous statement at Giles’ ‘mythology’ explanation “And that’s the universes’ grand plan? Giving Buffy super-powers so she can have destiny sex?” The plot is just not making sense to me. And Angel as Twilight still did lots of killing/evil things and it is just getting dismissed because he was going it for a greater good? Seriously not making sense. I just hope that the last six issues would make sense of it. At least we got two panels with Spike – one of him fighting next to Buffy with the words “Soon” above them, and one panel of him and Angel where they are referred to as Buffy’s “truest loves” (which made me smile).
Bones S5E16. Episode 100. Really fun good episode. Thank God they finally had the conversation. It felt real and good and showed their friendship and the ability to have a friendship beyond the attraction. And how scared she is of a serious relationship with him since she can’t lose him. And she knows he has to move on. They were adults! Novel concept. The case itself was just the background to seeing all the characters come together for the first time as a team. Hodgins and Zack first experiments, Angela getting a job at the lab, Bones and Booth first working together, going from attraction to kissing to defensive dislike. And Zack in general. And it was Bones who encouraged Booth to have some individuality in his clothing, like ties and belt buckle. And characterwise, Bones felt right too, she was more abrasive. She mellowed a lot with the seasons. I also really liked the look between the pair as they decided to tell Sweets the story of their first case. I also just had to rewatch the pilot episode (it was on Hulu) and the pilot, in light of this episode, makes even more sense. Great job on that writers.
On completely weird note, having just read the latest Buffy comic where Angel and Buffy are naked and have tons of sex, took me out of the episode a bit since seeing David Boreanaz at first was a bit jarring. I got used to him at Booth and it is not usually confusing for my brain. But close proximity, I guess.
I stopped by the library and comic book store on the way to the beach to ride a bike (Mama has a bike, and when she rested, I was riding on it). I know I shouldn’t read in the car as I’ll get motion sickness but I couldn’t resist the new Buffy comic. So, as a consequence, I didn’t feel up to rollerblading by the time we got to the beach. So bike for me.
My parents got the “Belarus” guide book just for fun while they were looking for other guidebooks in the library. Hee. It was very amusing. And I discovered that there is now Indian food in Minsk! That is unexpected. Maybe I’ll get to try it.
My parents bought me this beautiful black dress from Ralph Lauren for my upcoming birthday. They decided that I had to try it on now to make sure it fits just in case they had to exchange it, so they had me try it on today. It is perfectly and looks all grown up and fancy. I won’t wear it until June but I am looking forward to showing it off.
