Thursday Thoughts


~ So, Fox cancelled Almost Human. Not cool! They've pulled another Firefly, butchering a show's potential by airing episodes out of order and then abruptly canceling it. The casting and the dialogue was so amazing, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. I'm not even sure the finale that aired was the actual intended finale.

~ Where are the May spoilers for the Popsugar and FabFitFun boxes?? I'm too stubborn to invest before I know what I'm buying. It is only May 1st though, so perhaps I'm being a little impatient.

~ I'm going to try to get back into exercising. Really, I am. I even subscribed to The Daily Hiit's (or is it Bodyrock TV? I can't follow which name is the real one anymore) "Fry Fat Fast" challenge to...well.... fry my fat in 5 days. It looks like the routines are only 6-ish minutes long too, so I'll bet they're going to kick the snot out of me. Combined with running in the evenings, I need to evict the extra 5 lbs that snuck up on me. I'm just so bad at sticking with an exercise schedule.

~ Speaking of lbs... I'm actually considering a juice cleanse as well, thanks to a review Ramblings of a Suburban Mom did about the Jus cleanse. I didn't realize those things could be SO expensive! I do love me some juice, and it sounds like it can squeak out some pounds, so it's super tempting. I'm just not confident in my self control to avoid solids for 3 days. Especially with the boyfriend, we'll call him B, living off of Taco Bell and other sinfully delicious things.

~ And now speaking of avoiding solid food.. which probably won't happen.. Today I need to dig up a good crockpot chili recipe. I have a great looking cornbread recipe from AllRecipes.com , so now I need some crockpot chili to go with it! I already have one recipe that I have to reserve for the weekend thanks to a 1.5 hour simmering step, so I really need a good excuse to brush the dust off the crockpot.

~Well, there's my first attempt at a Thursday thoughts! How'd I do? I think I see the value in starting this post on a Wednesday evening, just so I don't accidentally end up posting too late into the day.

  1. Oh man, I'm so sad about Almost Human! I actually HAVEN'T watched it yet (rewatching Farscape and Castle because #bestshowsever) but was planning on catching it after season one! Fox really does make shitty show decisions. #FireflyForever

    Also, post about this "Fry Fat Fast" thing. I'm intrigued.

    2. Almost Human is phenomenal, I hope you get around to watching it! Though I don't know where we'll be able to find it now, hopefully it doesn't get looked over for a DVD set or Netflix space. This show needs a cult following stat!

    1. As soon as we heard about the episode order being swapped, we had a terrible feeling the show was doomed. I was so hoping to be wrong though. Wednesday night sounds like the way to go! I feel like I had way more interesting things to say last night too rather than first thing this morning!

    1. Aw, thank you! Sorry there's not much to look at yet, haha, but I appreciate it! Oh are you?! That's amazing, I wish we had one of those here. The thing I'm kind of fuzzy on for cleanses right now is, how often do people do them? Once a year? A month?
