Three Things
Thanksgiving Break starts on Monday, yay! I've got two long projects to finish over the week, so less yay, but having a couple days free of any other deadlines makes all the difference. One's a UDL lesson plan and the other's the final paper for my Bible as Literature course; they'll both be tricky but at least not boring.
The Punisher! My sister and I knocked out the first six (?) episodes last night. It's turning out to be an unexpectedly great show for gen relationships, what with Frank's friendship with Micro, and his friendship with Micro's family, and his memories of his own family. Plus I'm sensing the start of something interesting between him and Agent Madani. Karen's only made three appearances so far. They've all been wonderful, though I can't get over the feeling that something happened between them, post season 2 of Daredevil, that we haven't gotten the chance to see yet. They seem so much closer from the get go. It's a little weird.
Bit of wacky history I picked up: apparently there was a pretty strong Mafia presence in parts of West Virginia during Prohibition? I haven't found much to read up on, besides this very short Wikipedia entry and two other short articles. It fascinates me, though, because I've lived in West Virginia since I was five years old (admittedly a couple hours away from Clarksburg and Fairmont, the two cities this group operated out of) and never heard anything about this. Too bad I can't find a book (or at least a few more articles); I'd love to learn more.
