Bearded Dragons

Daughter # 1 has been building a terrarium for months, ever since we gave our reluctant permission. Well, it's finally finished, a huge grand hotel for little lizards. So, we bought two bearded dragons yesterday (the small variety) - two young girls (teenagers, more like), one dark and lively and dominant, the other light and shy.

Can you guess their names?
Willow and Tara - what else. :)

Grimm and other TV stuff

I watched the pilot of Grimm - and enjoyed it. Later I found out that David Greenwalt is one of the showrunners. Go figure.
The vegetarian blutbad was a neat twist.
I read somewhere that the show has a lousy slot, against Supernatural and Fringe. I guess that means it will be short lived. *sigh*

As for Downton Abbey, does anyone else feel like hitting Mary over the head with a thick plank? I am of course rooting for Bates and Anna. But why is the only gay character of the show also one of the "bad" guys? *sigh* Naturally, the main pleasure is listening to Maggie Smith's aspirated upper-crust English. She is so brilliant! And I'm glad she's still working. (Throughout the filming of the HP movies I kept my fingers crossed, because she was such a marvellous McGonagall.)
