I got through grading one of two exams (the easier one) that I need to 
grade this weekend - it will probably take me the other one through 
Monday to finish grading. [sigh...]

But I got through a few things yesterday:

soaps: Thur's ep's.
    DOOL - First Ava gets a job working in the pub for Roman (huh?!), so 
she can sign a lease with him. Then she and Harris break into the Bistro 
restaurant, and are predictably caught by Stefan, and have to tell him 
the truth. Together, the three of them find Clyde's "ledger"... EJ plots 
to take over Titan, and get Paulina booted as mayor. Nicole and Eric 
both decide that it's better, for their marriages, if they don't work 
together. Sloan comes across a drunk and despondent Leo, who still reels 
from being dumped (by Dmitri), and she pleads with Leo not to reveal her 
secret. But drunk Leo heads to EJ to do just that (what do you want to 
bet that EJ won't even give Leo the chance!!).
    GH - A lot of wheel-spinning in this ep., just to get to them all 
figuring out that Lois should be the new spokesperson for Deception, 
after Brook Lynn proves to be bad at the job. (Who didn't see this 
coming?!) Dumb Willow figures out that she shouldn't be a nurse (the 
bitch is such a dilitante!!), and then she and Michael boff. (Yuck!) 
Cody and Sasha grow closer, and Tracy agrees to hire Sasha as the new 
Quartermaine cook.

A Deadly Threat to My Family (Lifetime) - This was on the dark side for 
Lifetime, and was promising most of the way through.
    But I feel it was really let down by the ending, which showed that 
most of what had come before was pure contrivance, just so you wouldn't 
know what was going on with Gina Vitori (who makes no attempt to explain 
herself!). I think this will really cut down on the rewatch value of 
this one.
    Also, it didn't help that I really didn't like the daughter in this 
flick.


What did you watch?
