Sort of got to see the blood moon last night, the weather was meh so we didn't stay outside to see the eclipse though. *shakes a halfhearted fist at Mother Nature*
Life without kids in the house is weird. I buy (comparatively) NO food now. I suppose that's not surprising since even though only one was home last year it's amazing how much a teenage boy can eat. Other than how much food to buy the other big difference is walking Molly. Technically she is daughter's dog and even though I still wind up walking Molls a lot when she's home, having more than Hub and me here did mean we didn't have to be in charge of all 4 of her daily walks. The weather's been lousy lately, it'd be nice if someone else had to get soaked while taking her out once in a while.
Let's see, what else... Ah, more tv has premiered.
Limitless- apparently this is a spin off of sorts of some movie (staring Bradley Cooper maybe?) that I never watched. Knowledge of the movie background wasn't needed though, which was nice. The pilot had potential, but I didn't find the main character terribly engaging. It was decent enough though, so I'll probably watch a few more episodes at least.
Rosewood- this bored me and I've seen a variation of the set up a million times (to some extent in The Mentalist, Elementary/Sherlock, House, anytime someone (slightly abrasive) is a consultant helping solve crimes/medical mysteries). I didn't care about either the case or any of the characters. I won't be watching again.
Quantico- what an overblown, unengaging, boring mess. I fail to see how this could be an ongoing series vs a contained miniseries. So many of the "twists" were obvious and other supposedly shocking or surprising moments, well, weren't. Very disappointing.
Oh, forgot to mention The Librarians previously, there was a marathon of it on TNT labor day weekend so I binge watched it. I never saw the movies (not a Noah Wyle fan) but I didn't need any previous knowledge to enjoy the series. It's done by the guys behind Leverage and it shows- similar team dynamics and interplay and more fun than serious plots. Wyle (as the Librarian) still shows up a bunch but the series focuses on three Librarians-in-training and their "Guardian" (guard/protector/whatever). Pretty cute show and very lighthearted overall. Matt Frewer is the recurring baddie and he's always fun to watch. When it returns I'll definitely try to remember to watch it.
For a random link drop to close out this post I'll leave you with some ridiculous football (soccer to Americans) skills last week in the Bundesliga (German professional football league) wherein Robert Lewandowski came in as a substitute and scored an amazing 5 times in 9 minutes. The look on the coach's face at the end is hysterical.
