Jan. 12th, 2013 03:45 pmBack is a lot better - note to self, be more careful. Dialated my eyes today - at the doctor's appt, so vision is wonky.
Cool and damp in NY. But in the 40s. So not bad.
Finished watching the following shows Grey's Anatomy, Nashville, and Merlin.
Also rewatched two episodes of Once Upon a Time - one that focused on how Rumplestilskin met Captain Hook or rather created Captain Hook, and one that focused on Henry's father - when viewed together it is pretty clear who Henry's father is in relation to the Storybrook characters. ( spoilers )
Nashville is improving, less soapy, more realistic. It surprised me this week - instead of going the cliche soap opera route, it went the realistic route. ( spoiler )
Merlin - is the guy who is playing Morgana's right-hand man, and Saefer's father - the same actor who is playing Davos on Game of Thrones? I know I've seen him before.
This episode was better than I thought it would be. Am learning to ignore certain reviewers.
Speaking of reviewers to ignore? You really can't trust 75% of the amateur reviewers on Amazon or Good Reads can you ? 75% of them sound like they are wet behind the ears teeny-boppers who have lead incredibly sheltered lives and haven't read anything above a third grade reading level (which of course isn't true - the actual teens sound more mature and less grating, go figure) or they are terribly pretentious and you just want to smack them.
Spent forever trying to figure out if the books "Ever After by Kim Harrison" and "Hopeless by Colleen Hoover" were worth buying...and I had to scroll past a lot of "mindless squeeing/raving" for want of a better term. The negative reviews are actually more informative...although the ranting and whining about not being properly warned off the book or how can anyone read this book or how dare the writer write about such things.. can get grating. In short it's all emotional floundering and relatively little critical or constructive thought. I get that books are subjective things...but can you write a review with a bit less emotion dripping from every blasted sentence? Final conclusion? Skip Colleen Hoover novels - well unless you are into one twu luv for the high school set, with sex scenes, incest, and pedophilia (which is in a lot of YA romance novels...making me wonder about well our society). Buy "Ever After" - complex adult sci-fi fantasy morality tale with kick-ass heroine. Although considering the fact that I've read all the other novels in this series and liked them, I was pretty going to do that anyway with Ever After.
