They Should Thank Us

Despite the scary bit of yellow leaves and the panic from last week's debacle involving taking care of the garden, I am pleased to show you the harvest the parents got upon return.

The Head Honcho of the HOchie Tomatoes

If not for H1 and myself, the tomatoes would be ded. D-E-D! Ded! Yet, I heard nothing but ridicule when they got home...

They're ungrateful!

Oh, and wouldn't you know? It rained for at least 3 days when the parents got back. But noooo, when H1 and I had to take care of the garden, it was over 100 degrees for 4 days and rained not a drop!

Oh the despair looking on at these beauties! I am no longer 1/8 Indian; I am fast approaching 1/16, as I may have to give up tomato choka soon, due to acidity ;o) That'll be the day...where is my arthritis medication?

This Week's Obsession (s): June 2012

Wallander. Alright, so my obsession with Tom H. has not ended at all and has worsened to the point where I watched "Midnight in Paris" in fast-foward and have been traumatizing H1 and I myself almost every night for the past 2 weeks by watching "Wallander". In doing so, we've discovered a great crime drama and have more reason to obsess over the fantastic Kenneth Branagh. He's amazing as if that even needed to be said. Beautifully filmed (a beautiful setting in thanks), traumatic (I said it again because it is) and one very blonde, curly-headed Magnus who is constantly getting yelled at (well, he's...not the smartest, so...yeah) makes for a great series built on some stellar performances by K. Branagh. Season 3, where are you?

Luther

Some where along the way, I was reminded that I had to start watching "Luther". It's been on my radar for a while but I just never took the plunge. I don't know why. Stupidity, perhaps? Yeah, that seems likely. But luckily I started watching and while (like "Wallander") I think there's some predictability to it, thanks to the brilliant, intense acting job by Idris Elba and the very dynamic relationship between Luther and Alice; an amazingly soundtracked series and so much bloody murder, there's always a joyful sense of torture I give myself by watching the series. I miss Ian though, I have to say and have found a new love for Justin but I'm crushing a lot on Alice. Ruth Wilson is just uber creepy in the role and I love her. I'm making my way through Season 2 now but again, Season 3, where are you?!

Sherlock

Well this was actually a last month sort of obsession but as you can see, there's an entire British television viewing trend going on here. I've never denied my love for everything British and this BBC series by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss solidifies everything incredible about a well-written British drama. Hell, it's just incredible television no matter what the country. Sharp writing, Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch with updated visuals and feel make this one hell of a ride. I can't praise Benedict and Martin enough for their brilliant portrayals of Sherlock and Watson. The dialogue is quick and the sequences are fast-paced and again, so very clever that it is staggering. It's a brilliant show that once more...has me waiting for a Season 3. I sense conspiracy!

The Legend of Korra

Oh Look! An American made show! And a great one at that. Picking up 70 years after The Last Airbender, I had my reservations but really, why would I be hesitant? It is made by the same creators and my fears were completely unfounded. I mean, I miss Sokka and Toph but with the amazing Lin Beifong (Toph's daughter) who kicks major ass all over the place and a really strong cast of characters backed by some amazing voice-actors, this show is a must watch for everyone. MUST. WATCH. No fillers and action sequences that require rewinding because they're just so good, and a story so engaging that I am going to be cursing next week after the 1 hour season finale. Cursing. And crying. For Season 2.
