We saw both kids this weekend. That was awesome. I love it when they come home. We were supposed to go to a party at their aunt’s house today. A dual graduation party for my step daughter and her cousin who both graduated from college this year. Jen and I had to miss it because we both have a bit of a stomach bug right now and… well… at the risk of TMI, neither of us wanted to be away from a bathroom for the length of time that would be required to drive to the party location. Sorry. I am actually sad about it. It’s been decades since last we went to an event that was thrown by someone on the kids’ dad’s side of the blended family and it might have been a little weird after all of these ages, but I was still looking forward to going.
That’s not what I am feeling especially sad about. What I am sad about is that Bellana is staying at her dad’s tonight and Harry just left for Vermont. Our kid time is over for this weekend. Harry will be back in a couple of weeks, but for now… we’re kid free.
That’s why I am sad.
On a slightly related note, television-wise, I finished watching the two seasons of Spaced and now I need something new to add to my huge list of binge shows. Spaced has me in the mood for British television. Both kids have watched the new version of Doctor Who, all 300 seasons or whatever it is. We’ve watched a handful of episodes together over the last year or so and… well… I just started from reboot season one, episode one. I’ll finish this show in about 20 years. Then I’ll have to find the 300 seasons of the original version of the show. Yeah, this should keep me busy for a while.
Spaced was pretty special. If you like Simon Pegg in this he is in quite a few big movies but also Paul, Shaun of The Dead, World’s End and Hot Fuzz. Am not sure there was anything quite like Spaced. I loved that and if your name is anything to go by, we are of a similar vintage. If I can help in any way though, I will. Maybe a hint of Blackadder may help?

I’ve seen the three Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright movies. Shaun of the Dead is one of my favorite movies ever. I had been looking for a streaming service that carries Spaced in my area for years and finally found one a couple of weeks ago. It wasn’t what I expected at all, but I loved every second of it.
