That struck me, too, Jesse. A little more pointed than I expected him to be. Which is good, I like pointed.

Jilli, my only concern about the size would be the sleeves, if they're too tight over your biceps, that's uncomfortable (as I sadly know from experience with jackets that are cute and otherwise fit ok, stupid arms of mine not changing shape/volume to fit their containers) and seems like would make for a difficult alteration - unless just opening the seam a little would work? Maybe it wouldn't be that tricky, depending on how it's put together.

Very pretty, in any case.

Yup.

Oh, that's a very good point. And there really isn't a good way to fix too-small sleeves.

I have a number of Colbert and Daily Show episodes in my queue. Too many. Just last night I finished watching the Tony Awards. Yes, I am a bit behind in clearing space. Today I have been watching the Season One of Games of Thrones between chores. I'm on E5, which works since I am on book 4 with the reading.

It is most peculiar. I swear I have never watched the show before and yet apparently the reading put forth such vivid images that it is just like watching repeats! I've watched many things after reading the books, but never had this 'I've seen this before' reaction so strongly. Huh.

I don't think I'm willing to spend $2 and ep.

I often feel that way about shows, but Hannibal is so worth it.

How are you doing, Polgara?

I'm good. I think the surgery went better this time, 'cause I'm still feeling no pain (last time I was on Vicodin by now). Just got Allyson to watch Pitch Perfect with me, which was awesome for me, less awesome for her. And we got Chinese food, yum!

My friend Jane is getting groceries for Miz ita right now, so hopefully she'll be doing ok soon too.

Yes--Paula had a West LA assistance group already mobilised, Kat, so I'm cotching onto that. But thanks for the offer!

I am glad you all have so many people to take care of you!

Also, I'm catching up on the Daily Show, and John Oliver is so great. Among other reasons, calling out misogyny when talking to Lake Bell and the old white military guys when talking to Kirsten Gillibrand.

I'm ready for Jon Stewart to come back but John Oliver's interviews are quite good.

TimeWarner decided not to record two things today, both racing. It's like a four-year-old that you can't trust actually will brush their teeth even when you walk them to the bathroom and get the toothbrush ready. Turn your back and they are just distracted and unspooling the toilet paper instead. And, really, if I can't get my dvr to actually catch the racing, I have zero reason to keep cable. I am not canceling them before my tv boyfriend subs in for the F1 race in Spa at the end of this month because that's my happy place, but probably the following Monday. I'm over it. I'd rather pay money for each and every show separately. t /rant

Off to meet Mom for dinner and then go see comet debris kaboom against our atmosphere.

I am so sorry about the broken ankle, ita, on top of everything else. Also very glad the LA people are mobilizing.

I am enjoying John Oliver a lot too, especially now that he seems to be more comfortable being host and not just a placeholder, if that makes sense.

Random question--when people are catching up on the Daily show and Colbert, do you feel compelled to watch both of them in order, and then move on to the next day's eps, rather than watching them out of order?
