I finished Ivan the Terrible.  He was a very devout man with eczema.  Besides that he was a person who probably would have been better off doing something else, but he expanded the empire and established a printing house in Moscow, built St. Basil's, and revised the laws.   He also set up some undesirable groups who would rape and pillage the countryside, but I digress.  There were 8 episodes and they basically decided to pull the plug and have a voiceover summarizing the life of the Tsar and offering some basic assessments.  Like "ok, we've hit our budget limits, so even though we might like to include another couple episodes, this is what you should take away from this grim series...."

And the German Berlin Legal is building to a climax in a typical formulaic way.  I might go find Foundation or something.  TV isn't really cutting it for me right now.

Watched Zero Day due to heavy rain all day. A tad mmm at times
The Agency has been killing a few lunch breaks at work.

Two comedies that appear to have been produced by BBC 4:
The Book Group.  Kind of annoying but I watched 2 seasons.  Reminiscent of that tomato/tobacco hybrid, Tomaccy, that Homer Simpson produced.  It tastes awful but it's addictive.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, another 2 seasons of a show that I really couldn't warm to, but after a while you continue watching out of curiosity.  I suspect there's a 3rd season.

Neither of these was particularly compelling or funny.  I must be running out of stuff to watch.  I still have a couple episodes of Ivan the Terrible to get through so I'll get back to that, I guess.

I have been eating a catering tray of chicken quesadillas. This has been bless'ed awesome. The tortillas are this thin, stingy composition that is not retail standard, I would compare them to philo. Either way it's amazing, the chicken is spiced and cooked amazingly, and I haven't had to make dinner for several days.
Additionally, when the food is gone, I will wash the undertray which is weirdly well made and turn it into a tray for my phone and other electronics.

This has been an unsolicited and strange boon. I'm about to go into significant dental work and am terrified.

My unfulfilled food desires are as follows:

Pizza - ooey gooey. I know I'm not going to have this and it makes me sad.
Fat Burger - I never went in southern california, but weirdly here in florida there are several fatburger locations. I've wanted to try this since the first fast and furious.
Skyline chili - I really wanted to try this, but I'm in bad shape. Totally sucks to leave that standing.

Back to Pizza - I really wanted to try the Poppa John's cheeseburger Pizza. I should have planned better.

Execute your plans friends. Because life is inconvenient.

I just picked about 15 lb of Santa Rosa plums from a neighbor's tree.  It was groaning with fruit and it's still ripening.  I'll make some cake, give some  to other neighbors and if there's still more left, make a little jam.  They smell amazing.  There's nothing comparable to the fragrance of freshly picked fruit.
