Anne: Another week goes by...and South Texas continues to suffer from a heat wave... And a hail storm at the same time. It happened last week, over 100F outside, and it hailed. Granted, the hail didn't last very long and turned into heavy rain, but it lasted enough that my husband decided to move his car under cover. I just stayed dry inside the house, as that is why we pay for car insurance.  Besides the crazy weather outside, I have finally finished the first 3 weeks of being a space camper's chauffer. However, on my very first day off from work and the 6 year old's "off" week, we are going BACK to NASA because he wants to do all the other stuff that they have for visitors. I told him that if he wants to be an astrophysicist, he needs to learn a lot more math. My mundane life of work and home is barely broken by the potential return of some interesting dramas. Now, I don't men that I have watch all that many. For some odd reason, I started to FF through Immo

Anne: Happy Tuesday everyone! Well... my drama draught continues, and I haven't quite worked up any enthusiasm to watch any of the new shows that has aired lately, not even those in my favorite genre.  The summer season has started, and that means he 6 year old has started a series of summer camps. His favorite, by far, is the space camp at NASA. This was last week's schedule, for 6 to 7 year olds. From this, you would think these kids were going to colonize Mars! Well... I guess you need to train them young...after all, it's going to take some time to travel there. He's already made plans to volunteer as a camp counselor when he's older. While I'm battling my obligations as a camp uber driver and my crazy work issues, I just haven't gotten around to take any interest in the new dramas. I did, however, starting re-watching some of the Manhua that were based on BL books that came out a while ago, which has started to pop up on Viki.  Divorce Attorney Shin Thi

Anne: Hope everyone in the US had a good 3 day weekend. I decided to take Tuesday and Wednesday off, as these were the last two days of school, and I'd figured that it was my last chance for some quiet, alone time during the day. Well...best laid plans... The hubby came home early (at 11am) because due to the Monday holiday, there wasn't much to do since nothing was being delivered on Tuesday. And then on Tuesday, the almost 7 year old wanted to be off school early after the classroom party. Sigh...so...I ended up spending most of my "alone" days...NOT alone. I'm now looking for a short business trip as a way to get some alone time... If I can't get any alone time...let's just do the opposite! In case anyone ever wonders what some nearly 50 year olds do... We go dancing! Besides that, my drama draught continues.  So what did I end up doing was watching something that I never started in 2020, the General's Lady . For some reason, the scenes from this pa
