Another country I really have no interest in visiting, except… I’d like to see the Great Wall of China. It was built over a period of 2000 years to keep out invaders from the northern nomadic tribes. Of course, today it’s a major tourist attraction. Some sections are crumbling and dangerous but other parts have been preserved. There are rumors that parts of the fortifications are haunted. The cast members of the show Destination Truth visited there once and some really weird things happened while they were there. So maybe it really is haunted.
I got new genealogy software yesterday so I plan to play with that a lot more now. Gotta get back to working on the family history.
On TV tonight: not much since Who Do You Think You Are? and Grimm are reruns.
Reading: Still reading children’s mysteries. I think I might have to take a break from those, though. I’m getting a tad burnt out.
I don’t know, that seems kind of lame for an excuse. Isn’t that an actual scientific fact?
Not a lot going on here. It’s overcast and slightly cooler. High in the 60s today. Which is fine. It’s too early to need the a/c anyway.
Tonight is the new season of Doctor Who with the new, younger Doctor played by Matt Smith. Should be fun! Ooo! Amazon has an LED flashlight that looks like the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver. I’d like to have a real sonic screwdriver. Lock yourself out of your house? No problem! I might even be able to use it to fix my hard drive! Lost in the wilderness and need to start a fire? Use the sonic screwdriver! It’s a very handy multi-purpose tool!
Still gathering stuff to rebuild my files. What a chore! This is almost like having to work! Anyway, I realized I may have to rescan a lot of old family photos on top of everything else. *sigh*
Reading: Finished up Motherhood is Murder which was great. Can’t wait until the next one comes out. Now I’ve started (barely) Lois Lane Tells All by Karen Hawkins which looks like it’s going to be a very cute romance.
I’m tired of cloudy, rainy days. And I know the farmers are too. Hope the sun returns like they’re saying tomorrow. Sunshine and warmer temps, that’s the ticket for me!
Today, on some sports channel I only just started receiving the Sunland Derby is being aired. Hope it’s not blacked out here. Tonight on Masterpiece Classic, we have Sharpe’s Challenge with the dishy Sean Bean. Love a good costume drama especially if it features men in tight breeches.
Not a lot going on here. I’ll be delving back into the family history shortly. I am determined to prove, or disprove, some of those fun connections.
