I can't believe I laughed so much while reading this. And while watching the special. And also while watching/listening to anything Scott Aukerman does. It just always surprises me for some reason.

I'd really like to make some more progress in FFXV this weekend. But I have to work on a presentation. And I'm looking at 70 essays to grade. So…that's probably not going to happen. *sigh*

I just said the same thing to my husband. He's not amused.

The only appropriate thing to do, obviously.

Ok, then you probably don't want to watch either of those. And…I have no suggestions for that genre. I have failed.

You mean you don't want to watch the Knights of the Round summon every single time? Can't imagine why…But yeah, that does sound good.

So you're saying you don't want comedy? If so…I have been watching March Comes in Like a Lion, and it's pretty good.

It took 10 months, but I finished Infinite Jest! I kept taking breaks from it (long breaks), but I was determined to finish last night. Now I can go back to reading manga. But also, because I'm insane, I kind of want to start War and Peace…

Yep!

I'm not usually one to use cheats, but I wouldn't mind skipping a few random encounters now and then. So that's tempting. Skipping cutscenes though? Never!

I was given the best birthday present of my life last month—going to NYC to see The Great Comet on Broadway—so I've been listening to the original cast recording nonstop since then. If you like musicals and/or Russian novels I highly recommend.

I shall humbly recommend Sgt. Frog. One of the only dubs I actually enjoy.

My original copy is so battered and sad looking because of how many times I've played it. I'm very tempted to get the PS4 version, but I shouldn't be starting a game that I've already played more than once when I have so many new games I want to play/am playing…right?

Dream job!

As far as I'm concerned, the two times I've seen my name up there rank among my greatest achievements. So I don't see why this shouldn't get me a job. I assume that universities across the country will soon be calling me up to offer me all the jobs.

There's gotta be a way I can get this on my CV. Can I consider this a publication? Was this peer reviewed? It's related to my research interests…so, yeah, should be cool.

No, I said I want them to donate it. I did say that, right? Anyway, you do make a fair point about those employed by events like these. I'd prefer that all workers get paid a fair wage throughout the year so that canceling one event wouldn't be enough to break them financially, but seeing as we don't live in the…

Oh boy, it's only 9:00 am and I already disagree with this many people in a comments section? Gonna be a long day! Anyway, cancel the Oscars. Burn them to the ground. Then donate the outrageous, grotesque amount of money usually used to put them on, the money used to buy luxurious gowns and suits that will only be…

Yeah, good point. When I was first playing this game I already had a less than stellar relationship with a father that I only saw once or twice a year, and that was likely part of the reason I had such an emotional response despite the fact that I was only a child at the time.

In a way, that has everything to do with my comment because I full on cried the first time I played the game when it got to that point, thus solidifying my love for Red XIII. I won't get into the embarrassing level my fandom took on over the years, but I still get teary eyed just thinking about that scene. I guess…
