    Yesterday, I actually did start grading, for my summer job. I didn't do
    as much grading as wanted to/should have - but at least I started, and
    should finish the most important batch this weekend!

    So, I didn't watch as much TV yesterday, though I still got through some soaps:

    soaps: DOOL - Tue's? and Wed's? ep's. OK, I didn't see this coming! - NuSophia, who's a dip! somehow gives birth all by herself, and then
    gives the baby up at Javi's firehouse, without telling a soul. I'm not
    even sure what Sophia's story to everyone is going to be - that she had
    a stillbirth and then hid the baby's corpse somehow?!... Meanwhile, Javi insists upon bringing Sophia's abandoned baby (they don't know it's
    Sophia's yet) home to a none-too-thrilled Leo Stark. Meanwhile, Tate and
    Holly reconcile (this will probably last about 5 minutes!). And EJ
    insists upon being Johnny's lawyer for the attempted murder charge - I
    like that EJ is taking no s*** from Chanel! Ha!
    GH - 3 ep's - Mon's thru Wed's ep's. First, it's dumb Sasha's baby's christening. A full-of-turmoil Natalia crashes it, demanding to talk to
    Sonny, who insists that Natalia go to Belize, by herself, and without
    him. Natalia ends up drinking and pilling herself to death as a result -
    I'm impressed that they wrote out Booby Vista so definitively, though
    I'm disappointed that they didn't have Sonny actively murder her (he
    just indirectly kills her by neglect instead). Meanwhile, Jenz Sidwell
    has Kristina's bar firebombed, though Kristina is inconveniently inside
    at the time, but is rescued by Sidwell's son Marco, who doesn't find out Natalia is dead until afterwards. Meanwhile, Portia conspires to have
    Jordan find Portia and Curtis in flagrante, and when Curtis figures this
    out I think he may finally be done with lyin' schemin' Portia... And
    after Joss admits that she mainly joined the WSB as a spy to take down
    Sonny, Joss' handler, Vaughn, plants one on her! Who didn't see that
    coming!!

    I also put golf on - it was Day 3 of the John Deere - be actually paid
    it no attention. I'll have to watch it more closely today...

    And, in the morning, NBC was running Stage 1 of the Tour de France, and
    this I actually did kind of watch.

    What did you watch?

    I watched HEADS OF STATE which seemed to have a slow start but did
    eventually have some good moments of comedy and action in it.

    Will get to the next episode of REVIVAL after this Starcraft 2
    tournament I'm watching this morning.

    Hey, thanks for asking!

    Technically it was Saturday when I finished Ironheart.

    The second worst thing on Disney+.

    Perhaps more accurately the worst thing on Disney+ that doesn’t have stinky cheese Larson in it.

    Watched it on the fire stick because Cox knocked out my DVR again.
