Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

then I stayed up way too late last night watching the last 2 eps and flailing about them. (!!!!!!!!!)

I don't even watch OFMD (yet), and I still shrieked at the GIFs from episode 9.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Are any of you all watching Our Flag Means Death on HBOMax? It seems pretty much tailor-made for the Buffistas! And I need some people to talk to about it because it is A LOT!

Probably a family watch since we're all into What We Do In The Shadows.

It's just that Matilda has been too tired coming home after catching in games/practice to really want to watch anything.

In softball news, they lost 27-25 yesterday, which is a huge improvement. At one point they even had the lead! So, apparently the pitchers are starting to find the strike zone.

That's an insane score, though. That's a football score.

That's an insane score, though. That's a football score.

In their first game, our pitcher walked 24 batters. In the first inning. That was a lot of squatting and throws back to the mound and blocking in the dirt for Catcher Matilda. (And we only got out of that inning because she blocked off a runner for an out at home.)

All of these girls have missed two seasons of playing, and only three of the ten girls on the team have ever played softball before. (Most played on the basketball team though, so they are athletic.)

So we're actuallllly starting to play a bit better as they get acclimated to the game. But all the seniors missed their Junior and Soph seasons, so there's a real cascading loss of game experience.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Are any of you all watching Our Flag Means Death on HBOMax?

Me! You can talk to me!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Me too! I was Not Prepared for the Taika Waititi Hotness. (Not like he's not attractive or (more often) adorable, but he's not generally someone I find "hot".)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Yay amy and juliana! Have you both seen the last two episodes? I feel like I've been going feral all day just thinking about them.

I don't even watch OFMD (yet), and I still shrieked at the GIFs from episode 9.

I'm honestly not sure I could consciously replicate the noise I made during a certain part of that scene.

Holy smokes, yeah. (There is so much about this show I was unprepared for.) I do think he's an attractive man, but who knew that the middle-aged, long-haired leather biker look was gonna kick it up to 11?

We've not seen the last few episodes, because we were catching up on other stuff, but I'm So Excited to be watching it now. I'm sure we'll get through them all this weekend.

I do think he's an attractive man, but who knew that the middle-aged, long-haired leather biker look was gonna kick it up to 11?

.... (looks over at M) Of course. That's why I find Waititi-as-Blackbeard attractive. My Type, let me show you it.

Did it sound like [screech of joyful disbelief only dolphins could hear]?

Right?!? I have always been "You have spicy brains and appear to be kind of a goof, let us hang out and talk for hours" about him, and then THAT showed up on my screen.
