Hello Lovelies!
It's a nightmare outside right now. Rain that goes right through you and yet it's still warm out for the most part.
How was your weekend? I got 2 days with my little Peanut and he is growing so fast and talking a mile a minute. Sometimes he reminded me of Stuart from Mad TV except instead of "Look what I can do!" it's "Hey watch this!!" and I've realized that I may have had my kids young but I'm glad I did because keeping up with his energy level is effort to say the least. And no matter how much energy you think you have, the energy you need to spend chasing a 3 1/2 year old around is tremendous. He talks super fast just like his mom and his Auntie B so it's not only a physical energy but a mental one too and for all of his hyper activity and energetic stories when that kid wants to be a lovable cuddle monster that's exactly what he is.
I suck that up.
So besides the oodles of cuddles, on Friday I helped make sandwiches for a Charity function Lo and Choo were doing on Saturday night and that went well and I was glad I could help.
Then decided well Craig decided that he had to show me his Apple TV and make me watch things, now that being said we have Netflix and Crave so between all three it's either there's too much to watch and we can't decide or we just can't find anything. We had Shomi but...it was useless (and apparently going out of business ) so switching to Crave was a much easier choice. Now since then I have binge watched Kingdom, Orphan Black and now watching 19-2 but the comic book Geek Girl in me really wanted it for the Agents of Shield. The remote for the Apple TV is so sensitive that if you breathe on it you either fast forward or rewind about 10 mins that was a pain.
Wait I drifted away from where I was going though...
Apple TV...Craig got me to watch X-Men - Apocalypse. I've always been an X-Men lover be it comics or movies and unfortunately this one fell flat for me but I have to say that when it comes to the Marvel Universes I wish they would stay in just 1 maybe 2 semi-rational worlds. For instance and I'll only give 1 example or we'll be here all day.
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are twins, Magneto's children ( first thought ) but in the last 2 X-men movies Quicksilver ( love him ) seems to be an only child. Never mentions a sister, while over in the Avengers movies they are together and Quicksilver dies. I know the two franchises are completely separate from each other, separate worlds, separate chaos but they are family and you would figure that the X-Men franchise would have had that continuity and not so much the Avengers even though but I am aware of the problems with parentage that happened between the 2. Magnetos children and then it turned out they weren't mutants ect, ect. The one thing that remains though is that they are twins in one franchise but not the other.
Ok GG is back in the box and kicking because I've muzzled her for now.
I spoke to a friend that in passing said she was going to drop off some old towels at the SPCA which made me think of how humans are so much the issue of charity and how the animals in there need help too. A few years ago I applied to volunteer my time there and actually never received anything communication back from them but oh well I can help in other ways right? My only problem would be wanting to bring some of them home but I couldn't I'm not quite over Cali yet. Dogs are so close to my heart the pull to find ways to help them is strong at this time of year when it's dark and dreary.
Anyway our monsoon season has definitely begun, we were in line for 3 storms this weekend each one to be nastier than the last. There were power outages and thank goodness they weren't in my neighbourhood but the wind did quite the number leaving 75,000 without power and it didn't even kick off the way everyone had feared. I'm not sure if it can get any wetter out there but it sure is trying.
Have a great week!
See Ya

The 100 The Vacuum That Stole My Soul
Hi Lovelies!
I hope you all have a safe and fun New Years Eve! We had a mellow quiet evening, Monopoly Empire was played and heavily examined. There is a certain degree of strategy needed to property steal.
Well even the excitement of a new year does nothing for Mondays though doesn't it?
Some of us still have hope for the day though!
Not me...but some of us...or you...some of you...ya...you.
Okay, so before the holidays I had told you that a co-worker asked me to watch The 100 because she knew no one else that watched it and needed to talk to someone about it. As much as I tried to watch it before hand I didn't get to really check out the show until last night and as much as the first episode made the veins pop out in my head, I stuck with it and now it has definitely caught my interest or lets say trapped..trapped my interest.
A loose description of the show is that after a nuclear disaster the human race fled to the stars, the Ark a space-station orbiting earth has been home to humans for the past 97 years. Now because the Arks life support is failing they send 100 teenage criminals back to earth to see if it's inhabitable. There are supplies on Earth from long ago ( how they are still good after 97 years I have no clue ) So they DROP them back to earth and wouldn't you know it they go off course and land on the wrong mountain 20 Miles away from said supplies.
OK are you still with me?
Things happen pretty quickly from the beginning of the pilot to the end on the search for food and I have to say that there was some hair pulling on my part and outbursts about continuity as well as 100 questions ( ha ha ) that I knew wouldn't be answered in the first few episodes, yet I still wanted to know why certain things were happening and of course a heartbreaking scene in episode 4 or 5 in which I cried and the Bean who had only been watching the show for all of 5 mins cried along with me because it was just, plain, sad.
By episode 3 I was hooked! Completely hooked and not only me...I apparently got one of the boys + Bean and Sese hooked during the process. I have to say though that the show along the way answered quite a few of my questions or at least addressed them and that way I knew that someone looked at it and thought the same thing I did.
Oh yeah so the show is viewed from 2 aspects, being of course in space and on earth. Weaved in between is the web of lies and the surprises that follow. Almost every episode I've seen is complete with some dramatic scene that's leaves you somewhat speechless. Some of the characters I hated in the first couple of episodes have redeemed themselves and now I somewhat like them. This being a CW show was probably why I didn't check the show out earlier being that it's geared to the younger generation. that doesn't mean that I haven't gotten drawn into other shows for the youngins but I tend to I get my prime time drama from HBO, FX, MC, AMC and SC mostly and throw Space in there so this was a nice twist and it's on Netflix so I can see them all...at once...if I didn't need to sleep.
Anyway I would love to know if anyone watches it and if I have in anyway inspired you to take a look at the show then tell me what you think of it!
Have a great week!
