Tep, So either I'm not nuts to see it or at least Tim and I are nuts together in exactly the same way? This is strangely deeply comforting, truly.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How did the comic end, Dana?
I had to look up character names, because I read it ages ago, but he and 355 make it to where they're going, and there is a big moment where they profess their love for one another, and then she immediately gets shot and killed.

Our wings are not tired.
I went looking on Hulu for something that I would enjoy watching by myself since so many of the things I am watching have to wait around for DH to be home. So I started watching Find me in Paris, which is based on a stuck out of her own time ballerina. First, I thought it would be interesting because of the dance, and of course always a timey wimey fan.
10 episodes in and I find it completely delightful and relaxing. Very good dancers. Pure junk food in many ways, but with dance.

What is even happening?
Oh, no! Thanks, Dana.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I saw that one of the streaming services (? I think?) will be running a 20th Anniversary Harry Potter ... thing. I didn't pay that much attention ... except Daniel Radcliffe has grown up very nicely. The Empress will be pleased.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I am both looking forward to and dreading the Wheel of Time series starting on Friday. I know the books had some problems and were also way too long/too many but I got hooked on them when they were first coming out and feel the good far outweighed the bad, overall.

So I watched the first episode of Wheel of Time last night. They made a lot of changes from the books, which is to be expected. I'm okay with most of them, but I'm really questioning some others.
1) Why give Perrin a wife only for her to have no real lines or characterization and then kill her off?
2) Why change Mat from mischievous to full-on criminal? And why change his parents into shitty people?
3) This one is petty, but Why change Two Rivers from the name of the region to the name of the village?

Sometimes they seem to change things just for the sake of changing them ... maybe to feel they have more creative ownership of the thing (I've seen it in other things, so ....)

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they're setting things up later that we just haven't hit yet.
Watched the rest of the available episodes. I love this version of Thom Merrilin. He's not quite the same as book!Thom but I like him just as much already.
Really disappointed that the snarky innkeeper turned out to be a Darkfriend. She was awesome.

So folks online are speculating that Perrin's wife was a Darkfriend and was about to kill him. Hence her apparent fridging was actually more complex than that.
