If anything, he should be glad that his hair doesn't outweigh him.

Roses are the opposite of okay for Steven!

Ha, now you've got me wondering how people deal with gem monster incursions before the Crystal Gems show up. Do they panic? Are they used to it? Has it been going on for so long that it's an accepted fact of life that you just plan for, like fire and earthquake drills? Are there people whose job it is to deal with

Your convoluted romantic entanglements are without honor!

On that note, I still wonder what Connie's dad actually does that necessitates their moving so often. She said he's a security guard who works at different beaches, but we've never seen him actually doing that. What could he possibly be guarding on a public beach? Why would it require moving around?

Hang on, I just got a great idea for a Grey's Anatomy spec script.

Proceed!

Well, this one hit closer to home than most. Not to go into detail, but I'm coming off a pretty lousy week/month/summer, and just recently had a long conversation more or less along the same lines: bad shit happens, it's not all your fault, you can't control everything, you have the right to be sad, and "you can do

Nerdy references? On a Steven Universe review? Well, I never! This is an outrage! Reginald, fetch me a monocle that I might shatter it!

I assume that, as a nine-year-old boy, Arnold has learned all he knows about amnesia from cartoons. So naturally he'd assume it would all clear up via some sort of reminder or another bump on the head. I always enjoy Helga's malicious glee at putting one over on Arnold. She has to know the ruse will fall apart

Space blessings upon the anniversary of your expulsion from the womb!

Lorenzo, the other rich kid, transferred from "Peavine Academy," so I assume that's where Rex goes as well.

Fallout 4's Far Harbor expansion. I solved a robot murder mystery in a fancy hotel. That's basically all I ever wanted out of life. Although it was irritating that my character wasn't allowed to figure things out at the same time I did, so when I confronted the murderer my character didn't understand the whole story

I wasn't able to do anything creative recently due to being in a real bad mood all weekend. And that just put me in a worse mood!

I had a real lousy weekend, after another round of potential jobs forgetting I exist after interviewing me. So I've been depressed for days and that made it hard to do things I wanted to get done.

Nah, Jamie's a sweetheart, he deserves better.

I'm continuing through Animaniacs and The Batman on Netflix. I've just started the latter's third season, and it's interesting to see how the show is changing and converging back into classic Batman storytelling. The Edge's theme song is gone, Detective Yin is out of the picture in favor of Commissioner Gordon, and

But Kevin's a jerk!

Three Moments of an Explosion, a book of short stories by China Mieville. I've been looking to get into him since I enjoyed his work on the wackadoo DC Comics series Dial H, so this seems like a good place to start. And I like me some stories about weird shit, so this is right up my alley.

So, what, the implication is that the Jackal is actually infusing his clones with the souls of the dead? That's… that's fucked up. You're a fucked-up person, Miles Warren. I mean, we knew that already, but…
