DOA On TV

 

I think this week's DOA on TV is on hiatus for commentaries.  I've watched all of my regular shows except Best Medicine.  Some weeks there's just nothing in the tank.  Back with better notes next Sunday!

Fallout Notes Season 2 Oldies and Moldies

 Last Season, there was much speculation about the character Lee Moldaver, and how she managed to live 200 years.  This season, we find there are quite a few 200 year old characters still alive (some only mostly alive).   The Ghoul seems like the most extreme change physically till you note the three people at the bottom of the list.  What were they thinking?

Here are the members of the Fallout 200 Years Club

 Hank Maclean

Mostly, sort of alive-ish:

 Bud Askins

 

 Mr House

 

 Congresswoman Diane Welch

DOA's February Goals

 I love making lists and goals.  I thought I'd share a trimmed down list for this month.

 

Play ball with the dog quite a bit more.  Look at that face.

 

All floors cleaned up and down.  The engineered wood floors we had installed a couple of years ago are beautiful but high maintenance.  Downstairs there are a variety of floorings but oof, the dust, the dust.

 

Try three new recipes.  At least one should be from one of the new cookbooks I purchased at the end of last year.  Ohhh! One should be from Mary's recipes!  There we go.

 

Finish my tiny crochet blanket I might have started in 2024.  See me speed along!

 

Pot up and re-pot houseplants.  The wisdom is that house plants begin new growth in February so nice new soil and a larger pot is a good idea. 

 

February is National Embroidery Month.  What should I do but pick up a piece of embroidery?

 

Read 5 Books.  My Goodreads goal is 50 books again so five a month seems an easy way to get to that goal.  Plus, my TBR pile is astonishingly good.

 

10 Posts for the Month.  This goes with my goal of 100 posts for the year.  A noble goal!

I plan to start all of my flower seeds in February. I’m still waiting for an order from Renee’s Garden seeds, but otherwise I’m ready.

 

Good luck with your own list for February. 

Librariandoa's Saturday Puzzles a Fallen Phrase for 1 31 26

 It's Fallen Phrase time!  I went back to my Bartlett's Familiar Quotations as the source rather than the first line of a book.  The Answer Key will be up Saturday February 7 at 7 am.

 

 

Librariandoa's Saturday Puzzles An Answer Key for the 1 24 26 Cryptogram

 Brrrr!  This first line from Rosemary Simpson's What the Dead Leave Behind describes what is right outside the window.  Bleh.  

 

 

Sunday’s heavy rain turned to icy sleet and then snow after midnight, blanketing the sleeping city in layers of white that whirled into drifts and billows as the wind picked up.

Mary's Recipes Week 10

 

From a summertime past, Mary ready to see the Tall Ships in Duluth with her daughters.  This week is mostly chocolate frosting recipes.  Just the thing.

 

 

 

 

From The Archives: DOA's Mystery Bingo

 Don't you just love those Reading Bingo sheets?  Here's one I did that I like.  If you get Bingo, reward yourself with a new Mystery Book!  Win, win.

 

 

DOA on TV for the Week of January 18-24 A Bit of Everything

 

It has been an exhausting week.  I watched all of my regular shows, and one new one that I haven't much to say about.  Unlike my usual babbling self, I haven't much to say about anything.  Here are my shows, keep in mind three CBS shows don't return till late February, so, yo.

 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Sorry, wasn’t as charmed as I hoped then I fell asleep on and off. Think I will let this one go.

 

Terrific Tuesday Shows

The Rookie 

Back in good form with a mix of humor and a main story where a man is picked up by Nolan for sleeping in a community center. It’s the first time this seeming vagrant's prints have been run in years and he turns out to be a serial killer.

Best Medicine

I’m still engaged with this gentle comedy.  Martin Klunes, the OG Doc Martin was not in this week’s episode but Martin did some excellent doctor detection on a high schooler who had brittle bones.

 

Doc

Amy and the FBI traced the hospital email hacks and audio impersonations to a young doctor and her brother who felt Amy was the reason for their dad’s suicide.

 

High Potential

Captain Wagner, the new guy in town continues to annoy just about everyone and Soto tells him off. 

 

Will Trent

The show just keeps getting better and better.  Every character has so much going on.  Good thing they have Will, who powers through his own problems to save the day.

 

Fallout

The show continues to twist the stories in on themselves.  The Ghoul is rescued, never fear.  Vault 33 is on the road to perdition lead by Reggie.  Lucy attempts to dominate her dad.

 

Starfleet Academy

An excellent episode with the recruits competing with each other to lead their team in what must be a giant holodeck full of bad things, and an all out prank war with the War College.

 

The Pitt

It’s only 9 am and the place is swinging.  I enjoy the story lines that continue week to week and the loads of new stuff that just gets dumped on the staff.

 

The Closer

I'm up to season 5.  Still love the show and it's characters.  I'm not happy they shuffled Irene Daniels off of the show, with no real explanation.  They should have given her more to do, not less.  They have added Captain Sharon Raydor to the show, an Internal Affairs character who is awful with her breathy voice and her attempts to take over every single case.  I'm aware she takes over Major Crimes when The Closer completes season 7, but gack, I won't be watching that.
