one hand rises, the other hand falls.

serynI went to tai chi class. It actually made my head hurt less. I think. Or maybe one of my myriad self-medication choices is helping. (Sudafed and toast, Benedryl and a can of Coke. This might be California where marijuana is overlooked by law enforcement, but smoking is still extremely bad for your lungs and everyone else's air.)
I saw someone talking about reviewing a book positively even though the book was bad. I fucking hate that. It leads to bad book purchases. No point in having people review a book if the common practice is that everyone lies. I keep track of who has said glowing things about complete shit and I disregard all their positive comments in future and NEVER BUY THEIR BOOKS. I hold the reviewers accountable, if they've proven untrustworthy in their reviews, their authorship is completely suspect as well.
Today had more laundry, the making of coleslaw, and the watching of the new Miss Marple via PBS. This Marple can't knit for real. It bothers me when I see it because it makes her feel like the actress was miscast. I like the previous Marple. I know everyone has their own favorite Marples like some people have favorite Doctors (I'm not sure what number they're on, but a lot of people are "fourth doctor". I kind of like the scarf one of them wears, but the whole show rubs my fur the wrong way.) She was shown knitting in a scene and I got more knitting done than she did during the same time period.
I want to eat popcorn and watch TV. I should be looking into pita bread recipes and putting potatoes on to bake. But I'd rather go out and buy pitas... then I could get hummus and falafel too. With a handful of cherry tomatoes and a spoonful of yogurt that makes for some really tasty sandwiches.
