You'll make strides when you're ready. Be kind as kind to yourself as possible in the mean time!

Preach, fellow South By sufferer.

Zoloft, 100mg. It's helped a ridiculous amount. And booze, of course.

I like how the one on the left is leaning as far as as possible from the others.

No, I remembered it wrong. The original sheriff was the Huntsman. My bad.

Oh you're right - he was the Huntsman. I was remembering the early speculation at the time on who he'd turn out to be.

The Big Bad Wolf was even the town sheriff!

I would like to do a lot of the Interactive and Film stuff (not a big live music person), but yeah, crowds on that scale always suck any enjoyment out of the experience for me. I think I might do the TV Fest instead - that seems to still be under the radar enough to be tolerable.

I meant to do yardwork, but instead I got sucked into a jewelry-making project which was quite enjoyable. I watched Bosch on Amazon while I worked. It's thoroughly meh, although maybe I'm just burned out on the "hard-boiled cop whose one case he can't solve… is his own" trope. The acting was pretty good and I…

Meeeeeeeeee toooooooo. I'm not usually a big downtown person anyway, but SXSW makes me go full hermit.

Only enjoyable if you sneaker in a lot of liquor, although the theater may give you the boot.

Thank you! I was trying way too hard to make something work with Sancerre or something.

It's in my neighborhood, so I can walk there! (I'm very excited about this aspect.) Sloppiness will ensue.

I can't believe I'm asking this, but it's making me feel dumb and crazy. I'm not getting the Scary Wine pun, at least not in the same way as Monsterella Sticks. What am I not getting? I feel like I've let Tina Fey down. *hangs head in shame*

And ruin it, it did. I wasn't expecting it to be good, but ultimately, it's just ice in wine. I was amazed at how much I hated it. It's probably the slowest I've ever consumed a glass of wine in my life. But damnit, I paid for it, I was determined to finish it.

Same here - they were written on cards and we were drawing them out of a bag. One of the other girls got the random make-out. That's ok - there's still the wedding next weekend to get sloppy at and make out with random guys.

As part of a bachelorette party last week, I had to order wine with ice at the bar. I thought it was a pretty innocuous challenge, but the bartender acted like I was insane and made me repeat my order 3 times. It was…not good.

I was convinced it was Sela Ward until the end credits.

I'm having a hard time remembering which non-plot related gags are in which episodes. The curse of binge-watching!

Oh yes. I'm thinking Dynasty-style gowns - all sequins, thigh-high slits and of course, enormous shoulder pads.
