Everything is awesome! Never seen the movie but I played The Lego Lego Movie Game. Ear worm to the max.

My newest cross stitching show has become Star Wars Clone Wars as I noticed it was on netflix and havent seen it yet. Im not a huge Star Wars fan which initially kept me from watching the show as it aired on cartoon network. I do like Star Wars, as in, Ive seen and for the most part enjoyed the movies. Mostly, I am a sucker for the binge watch so I finally gave it a go. This series has done well in holding my attention through the first season. I wish there could be a moderate jedi though. Someone who could recognize that some of these bad guys should probably not be spared. Especially since they seemingly all escape...

I just watched a movie called Maniac. It was really weird because it was through the eyes of a serial killer played by Elijah Wood. He's really good at being creepy which I wasn't expecting because you know...he's Frodo and what-not. It wasn't necessarily a GOOD movie (to me), it was just very interesting. Also, if you don't mind a bit of vulgarity, the documentary Unhung Hero was amusing.

I'm still stuck on Bob's Burgers while stitching. I watch it every...single...time.

Netflix recently added Season 2 of Person of Interest and let's just say we won't be waiting for Netflix to get Season 3. Plowed through episodes of it this weekend, absolutely loving it (especially that episode where Fusco is doing some mad epic stuff in the background that you never get to see). Its gotten sooo good.

We tried the new show Intelligence, but it just really didn't work for us. Even gave it a second episode to see if it was just the pilot that was poorly written as we really liked a lot of the actors in it, but it just didn't get better so I've turned to Alphas instead as my new "don't really care what's on tv" show to have in the background.

I just watched Treasure Island with Eddie Izzard. It had Elijah Wood in that too, and boy he was good and crazy! I highly recommend!

I just got my hands on series one of Hannibal, hoping to find some time to start it tomorrow.

I'm currently binge-watching (as much as I can) the DC Animated Universe, starting with Batman: The Animated Series. This was the Batman I grew up with, though I wasn't allowed to watch it all the time (I was only 6 when they first started airing). I'm thoroughly enjoying geeking out. I'm not huge into comic books (though I would love to be) so this is as close as I can get to that. :)

Holy streaming nostalgia, Batman, Netflix finally licensed it? I've got to go watch it now, now, now!!!

I watched the first season of Young Justice on Netflix and highly recommend it. Second season isn't up, unfortunately. :/ Lately I've been into Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which is a little more Adam West than the more classic DCAU Batman, but it's great fun.

Nah, it's actually on Amazon Prime. They have all four seasons of Batman as well as Superman. I'm currently on season two. :)

I just found out today that my favorite British to US shows (* as Folk) is finally on Netflix so I will be binge watching it again very soon! Currently I am Netflixing the Animal Planet parasite show The Monsters Inside Me as I cross stitch. I don't know why but parasites have always fascinated me and it's an easy show to listen to and not have to pay 100% attention to (which is why I am not watching QaF right now because I want to pay attention to it lol).

My daughter is forcing me to watch crappy Disney shows like Jessie, Austin and Ally, Good Luck Charlie, etc. Beyond that we're both enjoying the Boy Meets World and The Middle episodes they show on ABC Family from 3pm to 5pm.

And then there are the catch up DVR shows hubby and I are slowly getting through. LOL!

I just finished up watching the British zombie mini series "Dead Set" from 2008. I thought it was pretty good, especially for a made for TV type show (although Im really only familiar with U.S. TV). Which leaves me wondering if there are any other good British horror gems im missing out on? Any recommendations? I'll probably have to do some research. Also watched "Dear Mr. Watterson" on Netflix. A good documentary for anyone who enjoys Calvin & Hobbes!
