I'd do that if we still had cable - as is, it would be over $100/month for essentially one show. I'm pretty sure nothing's that good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And with Starz, I imagine (HOPE!) Torchwood should be up on Netflix pretty quickly.
I'll just have to wait for GoT to come out on iTunes when the DVD's are released, or perhaps AHEM. Everyone I know has gotten rid of their HBO.

Because books.
I think that show JDM was in talks for was supposed to be for Starz.

The status is NOT quo.
I am planning to watch GoT but have to admit to a bit of trepidation given how bleak it can be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am FINISHING THE TAXES, today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

90 days, apparently.
I just filed my State. Surely TurboTax hadn't told me before I could post-date the withdrawal from my account. I'd have completed the transaction weeks ago, if I'd realised. Silly me.
Still, all's done and dusted ahead of deadline.
I was planning to read more GoT before it airs. Maybe I will curl up with it this afternoon. That and some Nutella and jasmine tea.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
If the check engine light has been coming on, take the car to AutoZone or one of the other big auto parts stores. Tell them the check engine light is coming on, and ask them to use their code reader to tell you what code the check engine light is throwing out. If it's "fuel too lean" or "fuel too rich," the problem is a dirty MAF sensor, which you should be able to pull out yourself and clean with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip.
Thanks, Tep. That's very useful information. But Liese also has me fearful now of being berated in Albuquerque.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know! No one expects Albuquerque beration! But you're probably in little danger. We changed ours. And for what its worth, it's run like a charm ever since.

I totally get that. You gotta do what you're comfortable with, definitely. Since I don't know a ton about what's under the hood, the check engine light made me hit up Google before taking it to the mechanic, because I wanted to know the realm of possibilities so they couldn't tell me the kerflarndoodle needed a new fribbitz. I wanted to be able to have some idea whether they would be treating me like a dumb blonde, or whether they'd be straight with me.
And that led me to a lot of info about the MAF sensor, so I figured I might as well try pulling and cleaning it, since it cost me nothing but time (take it to Auto Zone, get the code read, take it home, double-check the manual to be sure what I was pulling out was the right thing, pull it, clean it, let it dry, put it back in). It was easy and it worked, so that was cool. If it hadn't worked and the engine was still missing when I accelerated, at that point I would have turned it over to the mechanic.
And I don't know if Hondas are similar to Toyotas with the MAF sensor/O2 sensor thing, but some googling about civic hybrids and the MAF sensor leads me to believe they are.
All that said, I reiterate: you gotta do what you're comfortable with. If you feel more secure knowing the dudes who work on cars all day every day have gotten under the hood and fixed stuff up, that's what you should do. Because -- let me be clear -- the MAF sensor is honestly about the ONLY car maintenance/tinkering I've done. I take my car in for everything else, including oil changes.
