Prepping for Fall Yarn Mode
Clearly in prepping for fall yarn mode. I watched the second episode of Great British Bake-off last night….(mild spoiler follows for Sri Lankan contestant)… … … … …happy to see the Sri Lankan woman (Saku) made it through another round. She make a Sri Lankan breakfast out of biscuits! (Or as we say in America,

Still Oddly Charming
Came home from the Sri Lankan party last night pretty stuffed on picnic food, and yet, a few hours later, I found room for just a little more. Kanagalingam Mary had kindly brought over some fresh pittu and fish curry (thanks, Mary!), which was the perfect dish to close out the night. I was TIRED,

TV Report:
Kev and I started Will Trent yesterday (Hulu), and I really liked the first two episodes. Will is an agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the show has a great mix of interesting and appealing characters, funny dialogue, good plot tension. Kev had had somewhat tell him that the protagonist was sort of
Media Report
I haven’t done a media report in a while, so some quick highlights of what I’ve been watching: PRODIGY: I just caught up on Prodigy — if you’re a Star Trek fan and have missed this, I recommend it. Yes, it’s animated, and aimed at ages 7 & up, and I didn’t always pay full

Counterpart
School board meeting tonight was only 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., shortest school board meeting thus far (about 1.7 years in). Maybe we’re finally getting efficient? It won’t last, I promise you, not with some giant budget decisions coming in the near future. But it’s been a long, hard week in my household, so I will
Give Your Body Rest
I hit a bit of a wall yesterday. I was so tired, I came downstairs at 5 a.m., sat on the couch, put my head down, and fell asleep ’til 9:30. If you don’t give your body rest, eventually, your body will just slug you and take the rest it needs, will ye, nil ye.

Now I’m Full
Came home last night, wasn’t sure if we were recording the podcast this morning, so got up and got dressed, but was admittedly relieved that we’re not actually scheduled to record today. I’m tired. Taking it easy for now with TV and hopefully the last of the ChiCon posting, enjoying a perfect breakfast of tea
Rapid Fire TV Reviews
Quick TV / movie notes (avoiding spoilers, please avoid spoilers in comments): – Age of Adaline (Netflix) – romance with magical (pseudo-science) concept — there’s a woman who stops aging at 29. Well-written, I enjoyed it, although there’s a twist halfway through that threw me for a bit of a loop. No spoilers. Blake Lively
