Happy weekending!
Granted, it is not over yet, but I had a very lovely time today. laurashapiro and heresluck made lots of delicious food: cream of asparagus soup, which was creamy but still green-tasting and not overwhelmingly cream-flavored; chard and asparagus fritatta on a bed of greens, the fritatta was nicely crispy around the edges and there was a cream mushroom sauce on top; a very good pork sirloin, which apparently has many random bones but tastes absolutely delicious when cooked with white wine so that it's juicy and the meat actually tastes like something (I usually hate pork chops because they are dry and flavorless) and the bits of fat on my pieces just added to the texture and the taste. And then we had very rich ice cream with a caramal sauce that basically turned chewy right away.
So full and happy.
Also, I have watched tons of vids!
So, people, tell me: what is this Highlander thing? Would I like it? I have seen enough vids so that I can identify Duncan and curly-haired-guy-named-Richie and Amanda, but only when she has very short hair. So far, I know that Duncan is this Highlander thingamabob (is he Scottish or something?) and he is immortal and gets to wear lots of period clothing. He is very angsty and has long emo hair. Duncan sleeps with half a million women, often in different historical clothing, possibly so they can have corsets and heaving breasts. There is some scarred guy named Methos, and he and Duncan get married to Looney Tunes music and have a sappy ballet theme song. There is a curly haired guy named Richie who learns how to sword fight. And there is this woman named Amanda who must also be immortal or something, because she also gets lots of period clothing.
Things I have decided from watching maybe four Highlander vids: Duncan and his emo hair bore me and I could care less about his centuries-long angst and woe and losing assorted people (apologies Highlander fans). I am assuming that he has centuries-long angst and woe about losing assorted people a) because one vid was about that, b) all immortals with long hair seem to have this, and c) he just sort of looks like he has angst and woe. Richie does not particularly interest me either, though the vid was good. I can't even identify Methos and I am not sure if I will like him, though I enjoyed he and Duncan getting married to Looney Tunes music.
But! This Amanda person! She is awesome! At least from what I can tell! She goes through things and kicks ass and has awesome hair!
Is that enough to watch the show, or is the Duncan emo thing going to get to me?
