I spent all day yesterday grading, and with that I still only got
through two of my three classes! (Tells you how many students I have
this semester!)

So yesterday I only got through soaps - I didn't even have something
like LMN on as "background" the rest of the time:

soaps: Both Wed's ep's.
   DOOL - Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to this episode, as it
mostly involved stuff I don't care about. Philip moves into the Kiriakis
mansion, and Sarah gives him another warning. (Meh.) JJ and NuGabi "do
it". (Meh.) Shawn supports Jada after the whole (Faux)Rafe mess. (Meh.)
In the only semi-interesting storyline, Belle continues her downward
spiral by doubling-down on her romance with EJ - she must really hate
her sister Sami to continue with this trainwreck!!
   GH - Disappointing - they really are going with "Cyrus was being an
angel of death" rather than "Cyrus was killing people for base nefarious
reasons, and this 'God stuff' is all just an act!" Well, except for
Sam's and Dex's murders... Cyrus confesses all of this to lil' Lizzie,
right before he intended to kill her, but TempLucky bursts in (they
never explain why he came back to Lizzie's) and stops Cyrus, but gets
himself injected with the digitalis instead... Drew and Willow go to
Curtis' night club for Valentine's Day, but Curtis kicks Drew out so
they leave; even Brad feels sorry for Willow in her current pathetic
state. Emma continues to be completely unlikeable, this time hectoring
Josslyn about her dumb student group - I wish Gio would drop her like
it's hot!

What did you watch?

I watched the first couple of episodes of ZERO DAY. This is a new show
just released on the Netflix. The premise is it is a modern day and we
are watching the day of an ex President. He is having a meeting with a
representative of a publisher who has paid the ex-President for a
book. She's supposed to help the book come together but the President
isn't interested in the help so she leaves. Then we see her car get
rammed by a train as it turns out the nation is under attack.

Someone has managed to initiate a cyber attack that has shut down
every electronic device across the nation for one minute and then they
turned them all back on. The attackers then put a message on every
phone that the attack will return.

So with people freaking out the President forms a commission to find
the people responsible.  The ex-President is called on to head up the
commission which has been given far reaching abilities to find the
guilty parties. Which it turns out looks to be the Russians but isn't.
