*I was going to update y'all with good news about Melissa/tigtogiba34 from FB, but I can happily say she's back on LJ today. :D

*I fully intended to start on the 365 Questions yesterday on the first of March, but as usual, I got busy. So anyways:

(1) What is your number one goal this year?
To finally start on the house.

(2)What are you most grateful for?
Tie between steady (albeit low) income & my lovely furry kids

( Here's the 365 Questions for reference )
___________
*Taken: Pilot
( ... )

*Timeless: 1x14-1x16
( ... )

*Riverdale: Pilot-1x05
( ... )

*Post w/ real life stuff coming later today.

*As per usual: I downloaded pretty much all the free pilots from itunes & caught only a couple of these on tv. Think I've decided what I'm cutting thus far.

*Pitch: Pilot
( ... )
It was good, though I doubt I'll keep up with it this season. I'm not absorbed in it enough & I have never made it through an overcoming the odds sports movie (it's not my thing at all). I may give it a watch this summer though.

*Secrets & Lies: Season 2 Premiere
( ... )
Okay, that was a good premiere & doesn't tie into the previous season, which I didn't watch. Checking out more eps for sure.

*Aftermath: Pilot
( ... )
I'm iffy, but it is my sort of genre. I'll give it a few more eps to decide.

*The Exorcist: Pilot
( ... )
Better than I expected. I'll probably get behind because I rarely catch friday night tv, but I'm gonna keep watching.

*Van Helsing: 1x01-1x02
( ... )
It was a bit slow of a start, but absolutely my sort of genre, so I'm gonna give it a few more eps anyways

*MacGyver (Reboot): Pilot
( ... )
It was fun. REALLY cheesy though. I'll probably keep watching tbh. Like The Exorcist, I'll almost certainly get behind though.

*Lethal Weapon: Pilot & 1x02
( ... )
I actually really had a fun time watching this. I'm watching it until it turns me off

*Falling Water: Pilot
( ... )
It wasn't bad, but not captivating enough to hold a slot atm, despite my general 3 ep theory. If friends on the net get onto it, I'll look at it again over the summer/winter hiatus

*Designated Survivor: Pilot
( ... )
I enjoyed that more than I expected I would. I'll watch a few more eps anyways

*Bull:
The first time I watched the pilot I was cooking for a church dinner & honestly remember very little of it. It was free on itunes, like most of the pilots, so I gave it another go.
( ... )
Okay. I liked the pilot better the second round. That said, I still don't know that I'll watch it live, at least till Scream Queens season finales. I mean, Scream Queens isn't good, but it's very entertaining. I'm not sure how entertaining this is for me.

*Notorious: Pilot
-( ... )
Not good, not bad. Giving a few more eps.

*Otherwise I watched a pile of other pilots. Atlanta ,which was good, though clearly not written for me, so I'll give further eps a pass (though I loved the references to places I know). Now, anyone who knows me well knows I don't watch comedies (excepting a select few Britcoms, That 70s Show, Sienfeld, & Friends) because I tend to not find them funny. This is to say, don't take my opinions on these to heart. Anyways, I did watch a few of the comedy/dramedy premieres this year just to give them a go though The Good Place. It was surprisingly entertaining. I doubt I'll keep up w/ it. That said, it doesn't conflict w/ anything else I watch so I may watch it while I yoga on Thursdays. Speechless was fairly charming, but not something that will keep me interested for a season, so I'm dropping it. I find most comedies obnoxious after a few epsiodes. This Is Us was way better than I expected, but not my kind of thing. I may revisit it if it hits netflix instant.
