All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa gives such a lovely, quiet, thoughtful performance

Yeah, he's wonderful.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I haven't seen Man in the High Castle, but I'm very familiar with Tagawa's work. Besides movies, he's done a ton of tv, from Baywatch and Magnum PI to Hawaii five-0 and Teen Wolf. Also from Mortal Kombat to The Librarians. Often typecast, he's capable of great subtlety, believeable menace, and artless comedy.

Jessica is me. I also appreciated Tagawa's performance and kept wanting him to become the protagonist.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have also watched the first season of Man in the High Castle but not yet the second. I'm not sure how I feel about it. As an adaptation of PDK, it's one of the better ones, some of the choices they made were really good.

Black Mirror: I watched the whole thing (or the first season? Not sure which is the accurate statement there) and you are right, Volans, they never quite get as innovative as they seem to think they are. There were a couple that were well done, probably the ones aurelia mentioned although I don't remember the titles or, to be honest, the plots. For the most part, it teetered on the edge of getting interesting without actually getting there, for me.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I already wasn't taking Black Mirror nearly as seriously as it was taking itself, but this Toast column put me over the edge.

Oh that's PERFECT

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've never watched Black Mirror, but can never hear or see the title without thinking, "what if phones but too much?"

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

As someone who hasn't read the books, were the Beaudelaire parents actually still alive in the books ?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Certainly not that I remember.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've read the first book, and definitely not .
