There is only limited space in my brain for mathematical formulas. Hence, working on simple and compound interest all weekend knocked basic addition off my "shelf", so I failed to realize that Saturday + 6 days != next Saturday, necessitating me to order out from Baja Fresh to have enough dinners for the week :P

Speaking of Baja Fresh, I've seen this over at [livejournal.com profile] ragdoll's and [livejournal.com profile] flummoxicated's, among others:

Guilt
What is yours?
Explain yourself
Culinary: Baja Fresh tortilla chips Not haute cuisine but I could eat these all day, plain
Literary: Fate magazine and similarAfter all these years I should know better, but the stories would be so cool if true!
Audiovisual: anything in the Whedonverse (Buffy, Angel, Firefly)Too... many...perfect...one-liners!!! (Actually, I feel flagrantly un-guilty about this one)
Musical: ErasureEvery couple of years I need more than the Pet Shop Boys to properly fill my synth-pop cup
Celebrity: Cast and crew of "Lexx"Over the years I've managed to soak up tons of trivia; I'm sure it takes up several brain shelves which would be better devoted to something else, like 790 one-liners


Watched the last episode of "Rome" with dinner. It may be short on historical accuracy, but the plots-within-plots are good and the overall "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Do The Roman Empire" groove is thoroughly entertaining. The emotions the actors manage to convey with a mute expression is priceless. Recommended, from a dramatic viewpoint.

Tired now.

I just suspended my historical knowledge of Caesar's Rome and enjoyed the show for what it was: great drama, great comedy, fabulous characters and occasionally hot sex. I love love love Titus Pullo beyond all reason and even though she's not even close to the real one, Atia was fabulous.

Atia owned the screen from the first episode. Like everyone though, her tables were mightily turned in the last one - talk about ending with cliffhangers!

I love the banter between Pullo and Vorenus, but I have to confess a soft spot for the latter - he tries so hard to play by the book and things still blow up on him.

Polly Walker is just brilliant -- I hope she at least gets an Emmy nomination this year because she deserves it. I just love the way she's written and the way she's played! It will be interesting to see where they go next season. I just wish we didn't have to wait another year for it at least.

I like Vorenus a lot too, I guess I just like Pullo more because he's also the comic relief at times. Vorenus is too serious -- my heart is breaking for him, of course. That last scene was just gutwrenchingly painful.

Yeah, Vorenus is stuffy, but if he weren't so grumpy all the time he wouldn't make such an excellent "straight man" to Pullo! I'm thinking specifically of the "Cleopatra" episode :P

Oh, he definitely is an excellent straight man -- the Cleopatra episode was a scream (other than Cleopatra herself -- I don't know if the costuming/makeup was historically accurate, but they were gruesome).
