Series' cancellation

Towards the end of May is the time, when most series get the final verdict, either they are cancelled or renewed. I picked up a few new series to watch this year , so I was especially curious which ones I'll get to watch next season again. The result? Only The Game of Thrones.
Here are the ones that didn't make it:
  • No Ordinary Family: I actually gave up on this super-powered family after about 10 episodes myself, so no tears shed here.
  • Shit My Dad Says: A nice comedy about father-son relationships. It ended with a cliffhanger!
  • Better With You: Another comedy, this time about three couples (a mature couple, their two daughters and their boyfriends). Luckily this one had a nice finale that rounded up the story.
  • Off the Map: Grey's Anatomy in the jungle, what could be wrong about that? Apparently enough to get them cancelled with a cliffhanger.
  • The Event: Biggest disappointment. The show was getting better with each episode. One more episode next week. There's a bit of hope that the show may be picked up by some other network... fingers crossed.
  • Lie to Me: Not a new show, this one got cancelled after three seasons. It was a good show, with real science behind it, good actors and characters. Unfortunately it missed a central plot, a red line to connect the episodes.
  • (Smallville: Not cancelled, but finally reached its final season. It's finally over and I'm free from its spell. At least until the spin-offs come...)

Pkmn Black: 3rd gym

It's actually been about a week since I've defeathed the 3rd gym, but I haven't had the time and/or will to blog about it.
So, the third gym specializes in bug pokemon. As I chose the fire starter, I already had the type advantage, but even if I didn't, there were already flying type pokemon available to catch. The gym is shaped like a honeycomb with rubbery walls and switches to unlock gates.
But what I actually wanted to note is how many areas that are far from a city (and pokecentre) have a person at the beginning who, once defeated, will heal your team. Another nice addition :)

Holidays!

Finally! And after three tests in this past week, I feel these 10 free days and quite deserved :D
Still, have some catching up to do with school work, some things I wanted to put on my blog and most importantly, relax!
Happy holidays, everyone

Celebrating St. Patrick's day

I'm two days late with this post, but it's been two busy days, so I'm excused :D
For St. Patrick's day I decided to prepare a green meal, so I baked a green lasagna: green lasagna pasta and green spinach (and cottage cheese) filling, topped with grated cheese, served on a plate with a green rim. I love how simple and fast the recipe is and how great the result tastes :) Here are some pics of it:As the day wasn't green enough for us, Ana and me watched The Green Hornet. It's a weird movie. Not that the acting is bad, the characters are weird. It's a nice laugh, I guess. To cut it short: I don't recommend it, but I don't not recommend it either.
