I am suddenly and for no good reason craving this

Where is the amazing HBO series about Alfred the Great and the Viking invasion, y'all? It could be awesome. They could base it off Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Chronicles! Or do it Rome style, and have, like, a warrior from Wessex team up with a monk or something, and then have PERSONAL DRAMA. There can be dramatic landscapes of the coast of England and Viking longships, and tense moments of paganism vs. Christianity, and THEN THEY CAN DO THE SCENE WHERE ALFRED BURNS THE CAKES. They could burn a monastery! Or ten! THERE COULD BE AETHELFLAED.

*pets* Someone go make this happen. RIGHT NOW. (Er, you know, not that I'm advocating burning monasteries or anything, just MAKING TELEVISION.)

(no subject)

An important note to myself: when the majority of sugars one consumes are fruit-based, remember to eat the damn fruit. Oh, god, I should have gotten a large smoothie instead of a regular; I want more and it's ALL GONE and it's not open on the weekend!

Also should have bought more fruit, but I'll probably go back tomorrow; the price of apples went down! And I might pick up strawberries and/or raspberries, I'm not sure. We don't really have room in the fridge, but -- hmm. Did get tomatoes, ginger root, potatoes, and zucchini, though, as well as frozen edamame and wontons/gyoza. Also chicken thighs (I didn't know whether to get breasts or thighs, and the thighs were slightly cheaper) and pork chops, so I think I may be good for the week, especially if I make chicken noodle soup sometime this weekend, and spread out the pork to use in fried rice and (maybe?) curry instead of using it all up in panfried pork chops. Though those are delicious!

Also my apartment smells like roach spray.
