I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The problem with Twitter is it lets you aggregate all of the horrifying conversations that would have been going on anyway. We just wouldn't have been able to hear them all ten years ago!

The problem is that so many people suck donkey balls.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The problem with people is people, sadly.

I'm starting a rewatch of The Next Generation. It's equal parts nostalgic and hilariously clunky.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I can't watch every episode. We have been skipping some because like every other ep is a "watch from the hall" in the early seasons.

I've seen Marina Sirtis at a convention, and she's hilarious. I feel bad for her in these early episodes, where she's having to moan "Pain! Loneliness!" every two minutes.

I continue to reach the end of my netflix with shows. I only have 3 or 4 more Dr. Who eps. I am watching Psych from the beginning, which I have never seen, but it is not like the other shows with the long storylines and continuity. I think I will pick FNL back when I finish Who. Maybe pick up where I left off with Dexter also.

Still have not been able to watch anymore of AHS, need to do that. I need some creepy.

Absolutely. But it used to be so much easier to ignore the ones I didn't know!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Actual Teen vs Adult Teen.

Their patron saint is Bianca Lawson, who, apparently, has been playing a teenager 13 years now.

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

Upside is, these people are putting names and faces to lots of stupid stuff, and if you're bored enough, you can get some of them in trouble.

I like it when the douches self-identify and tell you where to find them.

Julie Benz was playing a high schooler as recent as 2005, which made her...33? Admittedly they go on to age dramatically, but it's not like the characters spend any time at 33--they go from "teen" to "crone" in typical bad makeup fashion.

Stacey Dash is my all time "no, you're fucking with me!" since she's two years older than me, and was flawless as a teen at 32.

I emailed someone a list of names and asked for their phone numbers and email addresses. I was given back their street addresses. My reply was "So phone and email is out of the question?" I mean, that's pretty much the rest of the address record. His reply? "I did not read you [sic] email that closely". So...do I ask again for the info I require, or do I guess he's got the question and thinks he can supply?

My former manager asked for all my timesheets since 5/26 (after admitting she threw away the detailed project time breakdown I gave her without submitting it to anyone, including the PM). Since all of my timesheets are complete up to 6/30, I don't even know what's going on. Moving out of that team has made things really confusing. I'm not getting explanations anymore. just terse requests and yeses and noes.
