Vegging

[kelliem]

It snowed fairly heavily here today but it was a very wet snow and so it packed down a lot. I'd say we got no more than about 5 inches total here at my house. I hear it is worse the further south you go, though, so Denver got more and they shut down the airport and stranded everyone flying through. I feel for them.

The major problem with the snow was that the Kid Unit and dad were supposed get together for the big 21st birthday celebration hang-out all day thing today, and that got cancelled byt the weather, so KU was kind of bummed at having to just stay home all day. But we made a big batch of chocolate mousse (with Callebaut semi-sweet chocolate and Godiva chocolate liqueur) and that made up for a bit. Spent the rest of the day watching The 10th Kingdom on DVD together. I also made a strawberry-rhubarb pie (KU's favorite) and a couple of other things for the family get-together tomorrow evening. The streets aren't bad now and the snow has stopped and is melting pretty rapidly, so the KU's dad is going to come up and do the dinner at least, so that's good.

I, on the other hand, after spending all day yesterday doing CosPlay assistance and today cooking, need a break, so I am going to veg out by watching Supervolcano for a couple of hours on Discover. :)

I did, actually. It was much less cheesy than 10.5. Though I do adore Fred Ward (who, not to be confusing, was in 10.5 not Supervolcano.) Though I was right, and Rebecca Jenkins was in BOTH of them (Governor in one, and FEMA Assistant Secy in the other). She is now Queen of the Crisis, isn't she? And the roles are SO different from her Wilby Wonderful one. It's nice to see her range.

Fred Ward was wasted in 10.5. His character could have been really interesting; although that can be said for more than a few of the characters. We should have known Supervolcano would be better. First of all, it's a BBC production.

He was wasted in 10.5, but I wanted to see him anyway. :-) The other reason Supervolcano was probably better was that it was made for a semi-educational channel.
