5 Day TV Challenge: My Parents Couldn't Keep Me From Watching This
It was one of those shows that captured my attention. I remember sneakily recording episodes on the VCR whenever I could.
Growing up there were a few shows that were 'banned' in our house, mostly because my mom didn't know anything about it.
And yet other shows were banned because of exactly what they were. One show that I can remember sneaking in whenever I can was, as you can guess: Baywatch.
I was a young, adolescent boy and I was pretty sure that girls were about the greatest thing in the world.
Although I totally watched Baywatch for the plot ... ahem I promise that's why ... watching the actresses run across the beach in slow motion wasn't going to make me stop watching any time soon.
It was one of those shows that captured my attention and I remember sneakily recording episodes on the VCR whenever I could so I could watch the reruns after school.
Yeah... I wasn't about to miss an episode of this...

Bizarro? White Martians? Supergirl's Adventure Has Only Just Begun!
If you've been watching Supergirl at a nearly religious pace, as I have, you're probably starting to get excited about all the possibilities that are beginning to unfold as Kara Danvers continues to step out of her cousin's shadow (Superman), and make a name for herself as the hero of National City.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.

Book Review: "Mothering Sunday" by Graham Swift
“Words were like an invisible skin, enwrapping the world and giving it reality. Yet you could not say the world would not be there, would not be real if you took away the words. At best it seemed that things might bless the words that distinguished them, and that words might bless everything.” - Mothering Sunday by Graham Swift.
