It was too cold to walk today. Pretty though.
View outside my front door. I stepped outside in a sweater and sweat leggings, and boots - to take a picture. The after shivering, ran back inside. It was 32 degrees F, felt like 22 F. (I have no idea what that translates as C, possibly 10 degrees?)
Family and politics
I realized in talking to mother - that I've hit a wall or I'm fed up. Sometime around 2020, possibly 2019, I hit the wall in regards to the alt-right conservatives.

I took a break while writing this - to call my niece. ( Read more... )
Mother is doing okay. She received the new KN95 and KN94 masks that I sent today (as did I), and has been chatting with her home health care aids - who she got hooked on Bridgerton.
Escapist Entertainment
By the way? We are getting a second season of Bridgerton. AND, Discovery of Witches starts this Sunday on AMC, I know because my DVR picked it up and has it scheduled. I told mother about it.
Watched Legacies tonight - it's back, along with Nancy Drew, both of which were good, but not as good as last year. I told niece they were basically shows with pretty young people chasing monsters and running from ghosts. She said that she liked watching that sort of thing too. (She's been watching Euphoria on HBO.)
Apparently Sabrina was cancelled and the 4th or 5th season is its last. I still need to watch the fourth and fifth seasons of The Expanse, although may wait until the last one films and is released - the sixth, before I do that. I hate cliff-hangers. Also I forget things in between seasons.
Things to watch?

And returning shows. I'm waiting for the Witcher. Also the prequel series for Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. And, The Nevers. (I have a weakness for fantasy and sci-fi.) According to Neil Gaiman they were filming Sandman for Netflix in October.
Reading
I'm now reading the latest installment in Illona Andrews Kate Daniels series - Blood Heir - which focuses on Julie (Kate's adopted daughter), Ascanio, Derrek, Nick, and various other supporting characters. What I loved about the Illona Andrews novels - is the supporting characters were as fun as the lead, and stood out. It's among the few urban fantasy series in which the world building and supporting characters are as interesting as the protagonist and you want more of.)
Also, working my way through Promised Land by Barack Obama - which is a detailed account of his first term in the White House, and really gets across how things work. For example? ( Read more... )
I highly recommend this book - it gives a great deal of insight on how things are run in the US and why.
And comic books. I explained my love of them to my niece or tried to. ( Read more... )
And...I need to read the latest Dresden book.
Fandom
On Twitter they asked which MCU movies you've re-watched the most?
1. Black Panther
2. Avengers: Infinity War
3. Avengers: Endgame
4. Captain America: Civil War
5. The Avengers
6. Iron Man
I like Robert Downy Jr. If you don't, I get it. I do, I find him amusing and appealing. I will literally watch him read the phone book.
On FB - someone stated they had a crush on Buffy. To which anne1962 stated most everyone did.
Me: I was one of those, less mortals, who had a crush on Spike. Masochistic I know. But there it is.
G: I feel your pain, I had one on Anya - except vengeance demon.
Me: My girl crush? Willow. I was also partial to Illyria.
Buffy grew me, along with her portrayer, it took a while. By about the end of the second season, I loved both. But my crush was on the others.
Cooking
I made another quiche tonight - it's better than last weeks. ( Read more... )
While I was baking the quiche, I decided to make a root vegetable soup. It was a cold day - so why not? Also if I made enough - it could serve me for lunch for the next few days.
Recipe? ( Read more... )
It was a cold day - so a good day to cook - if the kitchen got too hot, I could open a window. Plus, I find cooking comforting sometimes. I'm not much of a baker - I don't do measurements well, I tend to cook intuitively.
I'm cutting back on sweets. And finding that chocolate isn't doing it for me at the moment - so I might go off it for a bit, see what happens.
Anyhow, leave you with a picture of my view out the front door of apartment complex today - with a moon sitting in the clear blue sky...
