Being effective (is that the right word?)

[wiseheart]

I've managed a lot of things today.

I've made the second page to Baby Book #3.
Then we did the weekly laundry.
No cooking today, so I used the time to bake some cheesy buns (Käsepogatschen for the German speakers among us). They turned out so good that we decided to leave the chicken pasta bake from yesterday for tomorrow and the day after, when I'll be too busy to cook (concert and cleaning frenzy, respectively) and ate the things with leftover soup. Yum!

This being the weekend, there was practically nothing worth watching on the telly after lunchtime; although I did catch the end of one of the Miss Marple episodes. Better than nothing, although I much prefer the older versions with Joan Hickson. It was funny to see Una Stubbs in a different role; she became so bound to Mrs Hudson for me (as I'd never seen her in anything else before)!

Played a bit of Solitary on my geriatric laptop afterwards, and now the day is basically over. Well... save for the re-runs of the Great Australian Bake-Off. I'd prefer to watch some good, old-fashioned sci-fi, but those things aren't available on TV any longer. Too bad.

No, I never heard of them.

I mentioned the new book to an online friend and she adored them. Then I went to Goodreads and some of the criticism was not good. It felt like the overall feel was that some of the authors understood Miss Marple as a character (and adored her), and other authors did not. I still haven’t dared to start reading it plus my to-be-read pile is HUGE, and Marple is further down my list. I’m buying and borrowing books faster than I can read because mostly I’ve been reading 9-1-1 fanfiction. Which is great, but then there’s all my lovely books, just waiting for me! Still, it’s the best problem; too many books to read! I won’t complain because it is the best dilemma!

I hardly read anything but fanfiction these days, but I've never heard of 9-1-1.

9-1-1 is an American procedural drama with firefighters and a police officer. The divinely beautiful Angela Basset plays the police officer. It’s a firefighter drama rather than a police drama. Because some of my favourite fanfic writers (Keira Marcos and Jilly James) began writing 9-1-1 fanfiction, I actually started to read the fanfics before I watched the show! (I rarely watch tv.) Now I watch the show as well.

Oh, I see! Thanks for the info; I'll look up the show to learn more.
