The same thing I do every weekend, Pinky: go to work.

Not a damn thing got done this week, due to ongoing frustrating and/or depressing events. But hope springs eternal, the bastard.

I'm also very excited for Milo Murphy, though more for the creators than the voice cast (kickass though it may be). Phineas & Ferb was great, and by all rights their new show should also be great.

I just started watching Penny Dreadful after catching the first four episodes on a plane once. Gothic fun!

I'm going to the library later today, so I have no idea what I'll be reading soon. Exciting!

So was the tap-dancing a regular event of some sort, or something that would just happen spontaneously as you went about your day? Follow-up: are you a character in an MGM musical and/or that one singing demon from Buffy?

I've done that! I worked in bookstores on and off after graduating college. It definitely does help to be selling things that are good.

I'll be working all three of those days! I…didn't really have plans anyway, so I'm actually fine with it.

I got a large project to work on yesterday, which kept me occupied with material I liked most of the day, and then one of my colleagues spontaneously sent me an email telling me I was talented and should put together a portfolio of my work, because it's great and she expects me to have a good career.

I found a couple of paperback copies at a used bookstore once, whilst shopping for cheap prizes for a Quiz Bowl tournament. Most likely just Lovecraft fan-fiction.

THE BEAST THAT HATH NO NAME!

I don't think our small human minds could withstand that.

My Guild of Calamitous Intent hoodie is among my most prized possessions.

"Eugene, Eugene!" is Eugene's brief, shining moment, when he gets to stop being a hopeless martyr and actually becomes a character with agency and motivation. Something he loves is being damaged, and he will not stand for it! It's about damn time. I wonder how intentional it is that "Nice Guys Finish Last" is a lousy

Aw, it's the end of the road. Or, if you prefer, the beginning of a very long hiatus. I feel that this episode pushes Grandma too hard. Her comedic interruptions hit diminishing returns pretty quickly, to the point that when Grandpa threatens to duct-tape her to the chair, you kind of wish he would. Pookie is just

DON'T DATE ROBOTS!

I get what you mean.

I'm referring to the comics version, since he hasn't shown up in the movies yet. I recommend Greg Pak's run on The Incredible Hercules, which is hilarious fun. Herc gets into wacky mythological adventures with his pal Amadeus Cho, teams up with other god figures, and goofs around a lot. There's an arc wherein he has

That is the character to whom I am referring, yes.

Thing is, this is basically Marvel's version of Hercules: big, good-hearted galoot who loves gettin' in crazy superpeople fights and treats everything that happens to him with casual good cheer.
