Thank you. Just my Canadian psychology emerging.

Yeah, I don't know if I'd recommend it as a starter, but if someone could read only one, this is that one. His acceptance of the best and worst of us, his understanding and forgiveness of our failings, inspires me. And Nation, like this one, is simply beautiful.

Just punch somebody. Hopefully they'll punch you back hard enough to either justify your tears or distract you from your feelings.

Just teared up in a repressed, manly way while re-watching Up. Goddamn, that's one rough opening.

Exciting! I'll have to peruse it when I have a chance.

Got my Dad the Jaques Tati box set, He love M. Hulot's Holiday, so I think he'll be super pleased.

Season 9 has turned out to be high quality overall.

Brooklyn Nine Nine is terrific fun. If you are a fan of the franchise, Ash vs Evil Dead is essential viewing.

Samurai Jack is such an amazing piece of work. It's willingness to embrace stillness and quiet as well as fast, kinetic action makes it practically unique in western animation.

I know what you mean, but it's worthwhile to occasionally do so. Getting all my knowledge from youtube videos and online articles is proving insufficient. Sometimes you need thoughtful, lengthy information and analysis.

God I do want to, so bad. But I have little room to build it and no room to display it. I'll have to buy a shelf or case or something. I may have to store it until arrangements are made.

Well, when I touch those books my skin starts to burn, so I've learned to stay away.

I attended my monthly Simpsons Trivia night last night. My team performed at our usual, pretty-good-but-nowhere-near-close-to-winning level, and had a good time. That night the organizers held a raffle, with lots of cool prizes. I ventured fifteen dollars and won the grand prize. Lego set 71016 Simpsons…

Thank you so much! I tried so hard not to apologise for this one.

I fully endorse this excellent plan!

That sounds like a fun premise. I'm getting very tired of "Chosen One" stories.

Just wrapping up The Last Continent, and finished another Pratchett review for any who care to read it.

Get used to it.

Mathnet and the Bloodhound Gang were tremendous fun.

"Yeah, I like it when they have a good time."
