I was going to say, "Hah! Joke's on him. ISIS broke up 6 years ago!" But then I realized it was that other ISIS.

A nice breather of an episode. Wasn't as heavy as some of the past episodes, which is a good thing (we need that balance). Still some nice emotional beats they hit, though.

Watched the new Steven Universe and caught up with Star vs. the Forces of Evil. Just watched the Gumball episode (that song was great).
Starting to re-watch Fullmetal Alchemist (original anime series), 'cause I felt like it.

Yeah, after it came on, I thought that it was a good place to end it. Finishing on a high note before it gets ruined by a song that is not "When the Levee Breaks".

It's all about Preoccupations for me. Having heard the teaser tracks (and finding a couple of other songs on the album that someone sneaked onto YouTube), I'm excited for it. I hope the AV Club takes the time to review this one after ignoring Viet Cong last year.

My list is pretty pitiful:

I was saying "Folk Boo-urns."

*U-God silently weeps*

Would've cemented their place as the greatest band in history right then and there. I don't mean that ironically.

In other related news, David Bowie's "Blackstar" won a VMA for Art Direction. I'm good with that.

We've had synchronized dancers distracting people for centuries. What did you think the waltz was for?

Well, of course they weren't playing anything from Revolver. The songs on that album would have been impossible to play back then unless they brought the studio with them on tour. That might have been another reason that they stopped touring.

Man, this episode got me good. All the emotional developments, "Here Comes a Thought", everything was just great.

Then you can't tell him nothin', right?

Watched Zootopia on the flight home last night since I hadn't seen it before. It was really good. I kinda wanted to watch it again immediately after the first viewing, but thought that would be overdoing it.
There was not a whole lot of movies to choose from on the flight (there was a handful of them, but I wasn't…
