Fool me once
Nov. 26th, 2017 09:04 pmA frustrating day. I tried to pick up two things for my mother - a particular fabric from Joann's, a particular cheese from Whole Foods - only I couldn't find either of them. I found the spot on the shelf where the cheese should go and it wasn't there, so at least I know that was out, but who knows with the fleece. WHY IS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYTHING IN JOANN'S. WHY.
Then Julie and I attempted to watch Godless, because we both got suckered in by the promise of a show about a town with no men. Now, we watched the first twenty-five minutes and as far as I can tell this show is nothing but men (I exaggerate slightly), wall-to-wall men, the headstrong widow mentioned in the summary gets like two minutes of screen time compared to the male sheriff.
The male sheriff is sheriff of the town that supposedly has no men. GUESS THERE'S AT LEAST ONE MAN AFTER ALL, HUH?
Even after twenty-five minutes I barely knew a damn thing about any of the characters, which seems like more than enough time to at least sketch in names and motivations for a main character or two. And it's pretty gory, too.
So we dropped that and instead watched a few episodes of Parks and Rec, which has made me feel a bit better about life. We've just started season 5 and April and Ben are becoming concerned that the congressman they're working for is actually a robot.
