Pretty great! My 10-year-old niece stayed with me and we went adventuring. We had sushi and she mastered chopsticks pretty quickly (well mastered enough to get food in her mouth - it wasn't pretty but it worked). Then we saw a youth theater troupe's production of Twelfth Night at a very cool theater that's a smaller…

My love of Bryan Fuller is being challenged by my hatred of CBS's stupid POS streaming service. Sorry BF, I'll catch it on Netflix in 2 years.

This and Trump's campaign are masterful efforts in misdirection. Both their bases share a sense of economic and political disenfranchisement. Instead of tackling more endemic issues of economic disparity, both campaigns are directing that energy to a simpler target that allows for knee-jerk reactions. Blame Brussels,…

That's the one I meant. It's not on there yet, unfortunately. They don't have S1 or 2 on there. Maybe it'll show up on Hulu like S1 soon.

Damnit, FX On Demand, just let me watch Fargo Season 2 already!

I'm still working to get a platform fully in production. Shit keeps breaking, the vendor is useless and says it's not their problem, the only workarounds require an insane amount of tedious work, and my end-users are attempting to lead a revolt against it altogether. I feel super great at my job right now.

Happy birthday, you delicious dairy-based heavenly body!

Have a splendid birthday!

I fixed my friend's garbage disposal with the help of YouTube.

Good but all thrown out of whack. I threw a baby shower Saturday, then was so wiped out afterwards that I took a nap (very unusual for me), then woke up and sewed until the early morning, then slept until noon-ish. I'm usually a pretty regular sleeper - being on a different schedule was weirdly fun though. I still…

Irregardless, it's the same thing, for all intensive purposes.

Since the original cast is too old for a movie version (Idina Menzel joked about them having to do it all in CGI), I would say Lea Michele for Elphaba, but I doubt she'd be willing to do a whole movie in green skin paint. Megan Hilty could reprise Galinda from Broadway, or cast her mini-me Bailey Buntain if she can…

I recently discovered that The Dick Van Dyke Show is on Hulu. I hadn't seen it in years, but man, it has held up so well. Pretty much every character is fantastic, including Millie. RIP Ms. Guilbert.

Between getting scared shitless at 4am Sunday morning by a plate falling off my wall then getting sucked into the news once I finally got up later, all my plans for Sunday productivity went down the toilet. Now I'm way behind on some pieces for a friend and have a million things to do before I host a baby shower next…

I'm so tired of all this fucking shit that I can't even bring myself to enumerate which shit to fuck. Fuck it all. Fuck all the shit.

How to Date JK Simmons

I feel like trying to subvert a prophecy only for that action to lead to fulfilling it, or fulfilling it in an unexpected way, is already a pretty common trope. I do like how Stannis' failure to fulfill Melisandre's prophecy (or her misinterpretation of her visions) leading to a crisis of faith was a much more…

True, but she's already 2 for 3 with children in golden shrouds, so it seems likely…

Cersei can't die until after Tommen dies. Prophecy.

Yes.
