Mondays suck...and eh, season finales
May. 12th, 2014 10:33 pmOnly seen two of the shows from last night (keep in mind that I'm DVRing four and get ready for bed at 10pm.)
1. Once Upon a Time's season finale was disappointing and a bit lame, underlining once again why ( vague spoilers )
Shame - considering that the fall's finale, and the two finale's prior to that were really really good. And made me impatient for what will happen next. This one?
Not so much. A big let down from the fall. So much wasted potential. I was going to buy the third season DVD, but now...I may pass.
2.Revenge - on the other hand, rocked. It was surprising. With lots of plot-twists. And possibly the best and most satisfying season finale of the entire series to date.
( spoilers )
So in season finals so far - OUAT is the worst, and Revenge is the best. Which is the polar opposite of last year. Unexpected that.
3. I inadvertently locked my downstairs neighbor out of the apartment on Saturday, prior to a rain storm. It wasn't deliberate. I automatically lock my front door - been doing that since I was robbed. And Sat, was a bad day, my head was in the clouds. I'd passed downstairs neighbor playing his guitare on the front stoop and smoking, trudged to Whole Foods- four blocks up the street, and while standing in the checkout lane - saw a deluge of rain fall from the sky. I discovered that I'd forgotten my umbrella, my cell-phone, and as a result was stuck at Whole Foods for an hour and a half. I remember worrying on the way back...that maybe I had inadvertently locked the door and did he have his keys? I hoped I didn't lock him and his guitar out in the rain? But could not remember if I had or hadn't. When I got back - I saw that he wasn't still there, so I assumed that I must not have locked it. Well..he confronted me on it at 7 am this morning as I'm running out the door to work. Totally blind-sided me, and threw off my day. BASTARD.
Neighbor: Next time when you see me on the front stoop, don't lock the door. (Keep in mind, he lives on the second floor.)
Me: I do it automatically, I didn't think. [To myself: Seriously dude, next time remember to bring your keys. How hard is that? You brought your guitare, your book, and your cigarettes. Keys, are easy! This has happened numerous times, I forget. If you don't want to be locked out - bring your keys!! Then it won't happen. Don't hope that I will remember not to lock the door. Idiot. ]
What's amusing about all of this is my landlord used to send emails telling me to be sure to remember to lock the door always on my way out. And I'd email back - I always do. Check with downstairs guys, they don't.
This brought back flashbacks of freshmen year roommate fights - my roommate liked to sit in the tv lounge in her robe and pj's, leaving her keys in the room. The room was three flights from the tv lounge.
She'd rage at me for locking her out. I'd say - look, I didn't know you were in the lounge, and why didn't you have your keys with you? Are you an idiot? I'd understand if she were in the shower and I'd just seen her. But she was hanging out downstairs in the tv lounge.
Oh well, he'll be gone in three more weeks - he's moving in June. Along with his shoes. He leaves his shoes in the hallway. I have to keep pushing them aside to ensure I don't trip over them and fall down the steps.
There must be something in the air...everyone's irritable today. Sunday was great.
Monday...well it was Monday.
4. Read some reviews on The IronDuck Duke (would be entertaining if the alpha hero was a Duck, but alas no) - first in the Iron Seas Fantasy Steampunk series. I've never read the Steam-Punk Fantasy genre. This appears to be a genre blend, a rather wacky genre blend: it's a sci-fantasy, mystery, boddice ripper Victorian romance, with zombies and sea monsters.
It takes place in London, England during the Victorian period in an Alternate Universe version of our world. The inhabitants of England have all been infected by nanonites or mechanical microbes. Only the people who immigrated to America don't have them. But if you want to survive in London, you sort of need them or you will die of a black lung - everything is powered by coal.
The heroine is an Inspector who solves crimes and kills zombies.
The hero is a Duke, an-ex Pirate, who helped get rid of the bad guys.
Apparently everyone's problem with the book on Amazon and Good Reads is the hero sort of compels the heroine to have sex. OR he performs oral sex on her, bringing her to orgasm, against her will. In other words - a boddice ripper or seduction.
I don't know, having read more than my fair share of these, this actually sounds rather tame. Will let you know. Haven't read it yet.
