Glee: S5, E2: Tina in the Sky With Diamonds I enjoyed the music very much, I liked that we heard so many voices from Glee and not just the same two. I still get a kick out of those diner outfits, they are awesome. Also appreciated the nod to "Carrie", one of the scariest movies ever for me. Only saw it the one time, when I was young and then proceeded to spend several years hating the lights in the window at Christmas as it reminded me of the house scene with the candles and the knives etc.
I also love the message, about going out and "being that girl" in spite of the bullies. Love that. Just don't think Tina deserved that support. Over the last two years Tina is mean, she is selfish and ... mean. The fact that her friends rallied around her after the slushie is great, and while I would have helped her, I would have not been overly happy. She ignored everyone, pushed her other friend around and just was awful. Just once she said, she wanted to be that girl. I don't know, but looking back at her time at McKinley I can't see it being that bad to warrant such a break down. Of course it's high school so I'm expecting too much.
It was no surprise that Rachel was going to get the part. You don't bring on Peter Facinelli and Ioan Gruffudd for three minutes of screen time. :P
And I watched the preview for next week. yeah. That episode is going to be rough, will most likely cry for what it means to lose someone when you're in high school or lose someone in general. It's the music that will push me over. *sigh*
The Blacklist: S1, E2: The Freelancer The best thing about the show is still Spader, he is fantastic, just owns ever scene he is in. I did appreciate the twist on the humanitarian, was not prepared for that. Did figure the coat check is where it all went down despite them sitting there looking for the contact. But for those that didn't it's a nod to the slight of hand that Spader did and the way it was directed. I just watch too much not to pick up on it, especially since I was watching and not multi-tasking.
I respect her decision to ignore the box she found and stay with the husband (who I think is a good guy working to protect her - just my opinion in the long run). Not sure she is callous enough to go through with it though, that's a lot of inner strength to continue to live with him, kiss him, make love to him. I'm sure each day will get easier, but it will be rough.
Sleepy Hollow: S1, E3: For the Triumph of Evil The best thing about the show is the chemistry between Abby and Icabod, they are great. But I have to admit to being... bored. I don't know why, I wish I wasn't, it's a kind of interesting premise, but the execution is lacking. Or. I don't know. They revealed so much in the first episode and since then almost nothing. This week it was like a "monster of the week", which would be fine if I was watching Supernatural or Eureka but I'm not.
Are they insinuating that the "monster of the week" will be occurring more regularly because the headless horseman and Icabod awoke? And why is all of that connected? I hope next week sucks me in more. (This is one of the problems about watching too much, I have to be more cut throat than I wish)
I enjoyed The Crazy Ones again, really love the bloopers at the end of the episodes, gives us a quick look of how things go and I enjoy that. I smiled a lot and laughed a couple of times, it's not hysterical like Modern Family in the beginning, but it is enjoyable.

So, LM#2 is still waking at 5:30 which is way early. But last night he slept through the night, which for the previous two nights, was not the case. I thought we were moving past it but I suppose it will take additional time until he accepts that he sleeps in his room during the week and needs to, you know, sleep. Sheesh.
Last night there was a battle with LM#1, won't bore you but in the end after his tantrums, crying, hyperventilating - he had no tattoos, lost his book at bed and did not watch a second show before bed. Not sure when he, or his brother, will believe when I say something. It's always "can I have it back". No. I took it away as punishment why would I give it back just for being good. You need to be good all the time, a state of being, because it's the right thing to do. Sheesh.
I'm still not feeling great. I left work early yesterday and laid on the couch for a bit. Today I'm working from home, it was scheduled and I'm so tempted to email my boss and take the afternoon off and take a nap. I have a headache I can't seem to get rid of and I'm feeling just horribly run down.
My Church is having a Yard Sale tomorrow and they are hosting a Bake Table and needed volunteers to provide baked goods. So I signed up for cupcakes, went online and found individual containers and baked three boxes this morning: vanilla, chocolate and confetti. The confetti are iced and labeled as I used a vanilla icing can. The others needs to be iced as I will make the buttercream frosting. I plan to decorate them with candycorn colors. The Yard Sale starts at 9 and since I'm not attending LM#2's soccer game (hoping that he will play if I'm not there providing a lap to climb on), I said I would help finish setting up. Of course she mentioned 7 and I actually laughed in her face and said I'd be by no later than 8.
After helping set up I will head to the food store. Then LM#1 has a soccer game in the afternoon at 2, my inlaws are coming tomorrow to see both games. On Sunday I have about an hour to myself while Mr KA takes the kids to Church for Sunday school and I'll come later because after that is a birthday party at 12-2 and then another from 3-5. Then I'm expecting my friend V over for dinner and watching Undercover Cousins, because we are suckers for hot guys from Jersey building stuff.
Somewhere in there I will find time to clean and or cook something ... at some point.
Oh and my friend, reccea introduced me to Pinboard. It's like Delicious but seems to be more no frills (although I did not use Delicious, always thought about it but never did, so I can't really explain what the differences are). But I read through Pinboard, "about them" and what they can do etc etc and I have joined. And I'm now obsessively adding all my recs, which considering there are 409 of them in my spreadsheet, will take some time. But I'm determined and (I might have mentioned) obsessed with it. Since I've decided to sign up and use it I need it to be updated now. :P Which is impossible. I'm kimannebb over there as well, and I'm adding my recs newest to oldest. One good thing is I'm finding errors in my spreadsheet and updating them. Although Pinboard can export to Excel so I may not need that file anymore. :) (I really like that feature. If someone asks me for recs I can export the slice they are looking for or explain how to go to Pinboard.) I still plan on sending out recs through email as I do today because I know that sometimes it's nice to be spoonfed stories. *g*
If anyone else is using Pinboard, let me know and I'll follow up or add you or whatever it's called. I'm still learning.
