Okay, so today the Packers won in a very close game. That I really didn't watch. I don't know why, but I just cannot seem to sit through a game that's already over. I can watch it live, but if it's recorded, I just can't get into it. By halftime, I'd already cracked and check online for the results...
But Sundays now mean more than just football (as if that's not enough). Once Upon A Time started today and I must say, I did not see that end coming. My mom was in the living room, and I had to keep pausing to explain ("She's been outside so she's aged, but they've been in this town and they haven't aged", "There's two timelines, the fairytale world and the real world", "She's the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming and he's her son"). And then my mom made a duh comment and said this show was such an Elizabeth show. Fairy tales? Curses? A crossing of two worlds? The only thing it's missing is a space ship. And maybe a superhero (although you could argue that the heroes of fairy tales are proto-superheroes).
While watching the show, I'm thinking that it's not exactly the best episode and the action sequences could really use some work. I'm watching and pausing whenever mom starts talking about something so I don't miss anything, and raising and lowering the volume as needed, but I'm not as engaged as I have been in some episodes. And then the bomb drops at the very end: Sleeping Beauty and Mulan are in Real Time, not some flashback to the fairytale world, but in the fairytale world itself right now. As soon as the initial OMG-Didn't-see-that was over, I immediately worded a text to Ashleigh along the lines of "What the heck!?! NOT a flashback?" and then saved that as a draft in case she wasn't watching live and sent one that was more like "Did you see that!?!" Although both drafts used copious amounts of caps lock (I think I used up my monthly caps lock ration for this blog yesterday). So, how long until next Sunday?
