I think we're
starting to get used to our state of affairs. For me, it's not a huge change.
The household still has three workers deemed essential and one who can work
depending on the weather. Financially, we're feeling a pinch but not a hard
bite. We're still trying to show support for the restaurants and local
businesses to help ease their concerns.
Kind of a slow week
for television, mainly because I've been feeling kind of blah. When the weather
goes from warm to cold then back again twice in one week, I react poorly. My
sleep schedule is way out of whack right now. Bleh.
I finished up Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears. I
loved it!! The conclusion ended up being perfect with a callback to the series
and Phryne's biggest fear. And the movie let Phryne stay in character so to
speak. I won't spoil anything but the romance ended up being exactly right for
Phryne and Jack.
I also got to check
out the behind the scenes footage and a Q and A with Essie Davis. Fun stuff. If
you get a chance, check this movie out on Acorn.
Watched the
penultimate episode of season one Peak
Practice. I'll finish up the series this week coming up. I can quite decide
if I like Will or if I think he's a complete prat. Or … if I actually like him
because he's a prat. LOL
Caught the Death to
the Daleks arc of Classic Who. I'm
not sure how many episodes are left in season eleven, but I'm looking forward
to revisiting the fourth doctor in the next series.
I decided to see if
I can catch some musicals and concerts that are streaming right now. I watched
an amalgamation of Cirque du Soliel,
featuring Amaluna and two other shows. I'll be watching another one later this
week and then searching for a musical or orchestra concert to watch.
I'm doing a trial
with CBS All Access and watched the first episode of Picard. I'm intrigued. The reviews were mixed but I can safely say
I kind of want to know what the hell is going on with the Romulans and the Borg
and the federation and AIs. I'll be tuning in for another episode for certain.
Caught episode four
of Strike Back. I'm very pleased one
of the characters got to live to see another day. I love how much Chetri does
on the down-low. I also love how Coltrane does what he thinks he should do but
changes on the fly when loyalty comes into play. This show … I'm going to miss
it so much when it's over.
This week's Strike Back Declassified ended up being
really good. Seeing into the thought process is always fun and hearing how they
shoot things in long takes amazes me.
Watched two more
episodes of Gargoyles. I'd forgotten
how much Demona annoyed the crap out of me. I'm getting a crash course during
the rewatch. LOL
Caught episode two
of The Witcher. Again, this show
intrigues me. I'm following along fairly well and I like having the three
storylines playing out on the screen. Looking forward to the next episode.
That's pretty much it
for television this week. Tonight's post is from Down and Dirty, a free read that shows how the pool got started in Follow Me.
Here's the
mini-blurb:
The tale behind how a
certain pool gets started that put Sloan and Molly in the hot seat. And how
Specialist Neve Campbell thought she might have caught them in the act.
And a sneaky peek…
Sloan moved with purpose when
Molly exited her wounded bird. "You pulled a hot dog move after I ordered
you not to." His voice rose with each word. "And what happened, Lieutenant?"
The fact Sloan reported directly
to his father didn't faze Molly in the slightest. She held a place of
importance in the commander's life, too.
She rolled her eyes. "I cut
it a little close. So what?"
The captain made a strangled,
choking sound. "A little close?
You're insane." He lowered his voice. "Any closer and the deck crew
would be welding on new wings, Lieutenant."
Molly looked away and shrugged.
"Yeah, well. I told you I needed to let off some steam."
Sloan exploded. "Only crazy
people do barrel rolls when the landing bay doors are closing.
Molly's eyes snapped back to his.
"I got in, didn't I?" Her face dared him to counter the fact.
Sloan snorted. "Barely,
Lieutenant. You barely got in. And you will
make the repairs to the landing struts."
Molly's nostrils flared, but she
held her temper. "Whatever. Doesn't mean I have to like it."
Sloan snapped. "Fine."
Molly mimicked. "Fine."
Each stalked off in opposite
directions.
Neve shook her head. They should
just lock themselves in a supply closet and be done with it.
Chief Douglas shot her a look and
Neve realized she'd said the thought out loud.
She blushed. "Er, sorry,
Chief." Her mouth always seemed to get ahead of her brain.
Keegan cocked his head to the
side. "Actually, Specialist. You might be onto something." His eyes
followed the CAG's angry progress toward the office. "They're either gonna
screw each other or kill each other. Hard to say which."
Neve pondered his words, keeping
an eye on Molly when she yanked her flight suit down to her waist then glanced
back over her shoulder, her gaze following the CAG's progress away from the
flight deck. "No. They won't kill each other. It's a matter of when or
where they'll hook up."
The chief grabbed a clipboard and
a fresh sheet of paper. "I'll take that action. Date and time,
Specialist."
Honestly, this
little scene is so much fun. If all goes well, it'll be up on my blog or my Patreon
in the near future.
That's it for this
week. Catch everyone on the flipside.
