I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Nora, we have a small, mostly-Buffista re-read group on FB, which is mostly a-synchronous and highly distracted. Let me know if you want to join.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

ooh, yes please! I just finished season 3 and don't know when I'll be completing the series (my friend who's been hosting our viewing parties won't have the time now that summer's coming to an end) but I'm still super obsessed and would love to re-read the books and/or discuss.

Always Anti-fascist!

David Simon answered one of my million Season5 Wire questions the other day.(No, it was not "Are you sure you would not consider plural marriage?" sadface.Twitter me is ballsier than me, but there are limits) But I do know that Alma should have written "The building was evacuated of its inhabitants", in news of shit nobody but me rethinks. Would love to buy him a drink and talk further about journalism fakery scandals, as my uni had an international one, like the second before I got there, and cursing the chick that did it was very much the "Thanks, Obama," of my undergraduate years. If I remembered her name, I'd still hate her, right now, AIFG.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is nobody talking about WestWorld?

It's really good and dark and interesting and I have theories!

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

I watched about 2/3 of the pilot, and then I bailed on it:

    • I wasn't interested in any of the characters
    • The mysteries disoriented me, and didn't intrigue me. (There's a difference between HSQ and WTF)
    • I was kind of grossed out by it. Not just the rapey-ness, but also the whole body-horror vibe they've got going on. I was never a fan of Cronenberg.

I figured I'd give the show some time to gel to see if it was worth my time investing in.

I love it but I'm only up to episode 3! So intriguing.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I've been watching it through DH's press site, so I have no idea where I am in relation to the actual aired eps.
