The only ice I want is in a cold drink... and a new series on Hulu

Winter slop and so on...yeah, that's what's on my mind. It's icy out there, at least my driveway and steps are. 

Woohoo.

That said, we do not have a delay this morning, so I'll be navigating it carefully. The main roads are fine, I hear. And more of this treacherous weather coming in tomorrow...o yay.

Snow, you can move. Ice scares me more. I called our plow guy, and he'll try to get out here with some sand, but it won't likely be until after I have to leave for work, but at least it'll be done. 

OK, done ranting about weather exigencies. I started watching a new murder mystery series on Hulu last night, titled Death and Other Details. It was okay, but I fell asleep in the last episode I watched. What I like is the main plot. What I did not like is the gratuitous sex--and not just suggested sex. Why did we need that? I mean, I'm not a prude, but if it does not serve the storyline, why do it? I have no problem with a same-sex couple being married. I do not need to see their escapades as a means of introducing the characters. I could learn a lot about the characters through dialogue or interactions between them, but I don't like being privy to their intimacy. 

That said, I'll likely go back and re-watch the episode I fell asleep during, and see whether my inclinations about "who dunnit" are correct. The premise is a little like Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians in that there is a group of people who are invited to spend ten days on shipboard, the occasion is supposed to be in celebration of a business merger, but it's an uneasy situation. There're back stories to all of the characters, and there's a supposedly washed-up (but he isn't?) investigator on board. So, we'll see who killed the guy with the fishing harpoon... grisly, to be sure. It's pretty clear he was not actually an investor...

Have a good day,
