How the hell do I stream this thing? It’s not on YouTube; Amazon doesn’t have it, and I use Linux so the Apple Store is out. Any ideas?

Ambien.

Luckily I have very good friends in Amsterdam and I was staying with them just before things got crazy everywhere, so I’m remaining sheltered-in-place with them. Getting back to Uganda has gotten even more difficult - the airport and borders are entirely closed, so I’m resigning myself to a long stay here. And as a…

Going back home to see my kids.

I’ve lived in Kampala, Uganda for the last eleven years. When I first got here there weren’t as many US snacks; now I can get almost anything I want. But a can of Dr Pepper is about $2, and when I can find Haagen Daz or Ben & Jerry’s, each pint is between $10 and $15. I don’t buy that ice cream here often, but I’ve…

I’m a little late to this party, but I just watched these episodes, and just want to say I love Vanessa Bayer!

Thank you... I’ll be in Oakland again in about a month and will try it out!

I’m getting so used to main characters being killed off early in a series (Watchmen, On Being a God in Central Florida) that there’s a part of me hoping they take that step with Hugh Laurie. I’d miss him in the show, but overall the show is such a big nothing even with him that I don’t think it’d be much different…
