Nov. 2nd, 2015 09:09 pmTook today off, in part because we get tomorrow off as one of our 12 paid holidays. Weird, we get election day off but not Veterans Day. Government paid holidays are weird.
Dead tired, because I stayed up too late watching the baseball game then had difficulty sleeping. (Probably diet related, it's always diet related. If I've had any sugar or caffeine during the day that will screw up my sleep, so too will the switch from daylight savings time to standard time.)
Been watching television off and on this weekend. Can't really do more than a couple of hours in a row any longer, without my attention beginning to drift elsewhere. The days of day-long television binge watching appear to be over.
1. Quantico - decent thriller, but trying to be two things at once, which is a bit jarring. It want's to Grey's Anatomy at Quantico and well either How to Get Away with Murder or Covert Affairs at the same time. Not sure the two mix well. And it's taking them forever to provide crucial information.
These sort of thrillers work better as movies than television serials, mainly because after a while the audience gets frustrated watching the protagonist run from the authorities.
That said, I adore the lead. And the team-up of various characters to help her find the culprit is intriguing. Particularly when you think they may have framed her at any point in the proceedings.
So, I'm sticking with it for now.
2. Good Wife continues to be interesting. Lots of psychological manipulation and power plays.
Also it reminds me of why I'm not a practicing attorney. Of the legal series that I've seen to date, it's by far the most realistic not to mention fun.

3. OUAT --
( spoilers )
I was thinking of joining the nanowritemore group this year - but I can't figure out how to do it or what's involved. Also, I don't really need help writing. I don't get writer's blocks, I get story blocks. My characters stop talking to me. And I have to push through and then back track. Plus find the time to do it and the energy...which isn't really a problem, as long as I don't get distracted. (The internet is distracting.)
Okay off to bed. Or rather a bath. Then bed.
