Better late than never

Good morning! This is the Friday edition of What's the Matter with Bootblacking blog, coming to you on Saturday morning! Long story short. Marc's birthday party was on Friday Night and there were about 7 10-11 year old boys running all over the house, watching movies, being loud, eating pizza, being loud, eating ice cream, and just generally being loud. Not a conducive environment to writing, so Malia and I barricaded ourselves in our room and watched Game of Thrones until 1 AM (just One More Episode!) . I stayed awake through most of it. We are now 1 episode into season 2. Sadly, we don't have HBO, so we will have to wait to watch season 3 which premieres this weekend.

Friday means steak for dinner. I recently placed an order for a bunch of meat from grasslandbeef.com and as part of the order I ordered a dozen Delmonico steaks. This type of Delmonico steak appears to be a bone-in top loin steak. either way, it was super good. Grilled it up with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper out on the grill to a lovely medium-medium rare. Super good!

Friday also means my 6th graders at school. This group is really cool, and there are several nerds in the class. One in particular has awesome parents who expose her to the same environment as I expose the boys, tons of cartoons, sci-fi and fantasy stuff. She is a major Whovian and we were both geeking out on the fact that the new season starts on Saturday night.

This leads me to The 11th Doctor, Matt Smith:

Bow ties are cool

When Matt made his first appearance as The Doctor, I was a bit stunned. He had this WAY over the top humor that was very different from David Tennant's take that I didn't know what to say. Watching him trying to figure out what kind of food he liked (fish fingers and custard, btw) while ransacking young Amelia Pond's kitchen was just hilarious. I became immediately attached to this Doctor. I rank him as second favorite doctor, only because David Tennant was so awesome.

I'm excited about tonight's premiere. The new series looks amazing. I can't wait to find out more about his new companion.

Weight was 228.6 lbs Friday morning. Frustrating, but it is what it is.
