It's amazing how certain things that freaked me out as a child still freak me out today. I happened to see some icons featuring Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet on LOST) in a remake of V. The original miniseries (or was it a tv show?) scared the crap out of me as a kid way back in the 80s. The little I remember still gives me the chills, so I certainly won't be watching the remake.

Grading is almost all done - just need to compile a missing work list. Report cards won't be as bad as I thought, but still not what I'd like them to be.

I made Pioneer Woman's carrot cake for Bible study potluck last night, and it was a hit. I think I'll go have the last piece now. The vegetarian lasagna Jenn brought was also quite excellent.

9 days left...the next 4 will be filled with odds and ends that I need to get done, plus report cards to fill out. My goal for tonight is to fill out the health insurance packet and be done. Oh, do laundry too.

The cake is calling my name...

The cake is calling my name, too.

I had a good friend and her husband (and 4 daughters)over for a Memorial Day cookout. She went on and on about Pioneer Woman's blog. She recently made a butter-seared steak that was delicious.

I love reading PW's recipes. The look like things I could actually make. I laugh at how much butter and heavy cream she uses though, and what she says about them.

What was the series called?

X-Files scared the crap out of me as a kid. My parents watched it. I couldn't even be in the same room when the beginning music started playing! It's so funny to look back on that.
I watched the latest movie of it a few weeks ago with them. It was pretty decent and I wasn't scared :P

It was called V. It was this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085106/ and this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086822/ I was about 6 at the time, and it just really freaked me out.

I saw the beginning of a 3rd season XF episode once, "War of the Coprophages" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0751259/) which had a bunch of cockroaches. It wigged me out enough to not want to watch the rest of the show. I ended up getting hooked when a friend made me watch the S3 finale/S4 premiere a few months later.
