The Seder went well - another twelve people, which is seriously stretching our hosting abilities to their limits. And it cleaned up pretty quickly too. Dishwashers are the BEST. But there were adorable children and it was just really great. A success. And the Other One made his very first cheese cake ( Read more... )

Wow, twelve people! You are to be commended! I'm glad it all went well and that you lived to tell the tale. Those are the best kinds of parties! Sounds like you have your Easter plans well in hand. I'm still not sure what we are doing as we are out of town that weekend for a Waterloo gig and coming back later on Sunday. Hope yours is great!

It was, thank you! Yeah, we're Italians and really feel compelled to feed everyone we know - but 12 for St. Patrick's Day and 12 for the Seder was a lot - especially with the quick turn around between the two and going immediately into Spring Break Crunch Season at work. But it all worked out, an a good time was had by all. And also, having piles of leftover roast lamb and corned beef is never a bad thing...

As long as you have freezers, it's a wonderful thing, indeed.

YES. I love my chest freezer SO MUCH.

I found Daredevil's portal of a blind superhero vaguely disappointing.

I think I have been spoiled by Toph, from Avatar. That show did such s good show of tracking her unique strengths and weaknesses and thinking about how she experienced different situations.

Matt Murdock mostly seemed to come across as "Blind, but not really" rather than "Blind, with a different kind of sensory perception."

Still probably going to watch the next season though. The show had other things going for it.

And I hear good things about the new Jessica Jones series, though we haven't gotten to watching it yet.

The problem with Daredevil is it's a show about a blind catholic attorney written by people who know nothing about blindness, catholicism, or the law ( ... )
