I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Our wings are not tired.

So I was looking through the comedy series options and saw Jane the Virgin and gave it a shot. I've only watched the first 2 episodes, but I am totally charmed. It Is So Miami! I feel like I am home. Does it continue to be oh so charming and telenovelas-like? If so I am here for it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Absolutely, Laura. You will love it!

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

I love JtV so so so so much.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

How is it only in the last month or so that I'm discovering Hannah Gadsby? ("Discovering" like Columbus discovered America - she's been around for a good decade or something). She's got the most amazing spicy brains and she's cute as hell. Gotta find me a friend willing to lend me a Netflix password so I can see "Nanette". Seriously, she's awesome, how am I only just now finding this bandwagon to hop on to?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh! I get to be all "I liked her before it was cool"! Biyi and I saw her stand-up show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival a decade ago or so. She was just in a meeting room at Melbourne City Hall. (The topic was her experience walking across England, as in from the Irish to the North Sea.) One thing I missed out on was that she used to do walking tours of the National Gallery here. (She has a degree in Art History.)

Alas, I don't have Netflix, so I haven't seen Nanette yet either.

I love JtV so so so so much.

It is the Latino version of Soap, which I also loved. It's awesome.

I always thought of it as a Latina Gilmore Girls.

Ah, I didn't watch Gilmore Girls so I didn't get a connection there.

Yeah, she's got some great stuff on YouTube showing off her Spicy Art Brain.

The three generations of Villanueva women reminded me a lot of the three generations of Gilmores.
