I knew this, because of Buffista!Rio's husband, but I was rather confused when I friended FB Rio. (But sometimes I forget...)
Both of whom are awesome. I did NOT know they were college friend IRL!
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have a picture of them at college in the 90s looking quite the artsy grunge girls in their black leather and silver rings, smoking and drinking and getting into mischief.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thank god! I thought I was going crazy! But I love Facebook Rio's kitty and almost everything she posts!

Two eps into Sense8. I like it.
Naveen Andrews. Still hot.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I've only watched the Sense8 pilot, and because I am forever the Wachowski sibling's bitch (even after Jupiter Ascending! I forgive you, Wachowskis!) I will keep watching even though I'm pretty sure this show is a hot mess.
You can tell it's a Netflix original because the first hour had both hot lesbian sex, and someone peeing on their father's grave.
#2 on that list is a little unsettling because Netflix basically commissions/greenlights stuff based on algorithms that say "Our subscribers love shows with elements X, Y, and Z so we'll buy a show with those things in it and it will be popular." NETFLIX SUBSCRIBERS ARE PERVERTS.

Oh, man, if there’s one thing the Wachowskis don’t need, it’s the opportunity to tell an even llllooonngeeerrr story. I don’t know if I’m going to make it through a twelve hour screening of Intolerance.

I watched the first episode of it last night also, & I thought that it was interesting. Of course, there was a lot of introductory material with so many characters. I just about flipped out when I saw Martha Jones/Freyma Ageman (sp?) as a dreadlocked naked lesbian in San Francisco, but of course, her character is awesome and beautiful!
I think it's one of those series that I'll watch an episode or two a day, as opposed to Daredevil, when I, even though I was in the throes of moving and showings, took every free second to watchevena minute or two more and stayed up very late at night when I shouldn't have, just to suck the show down as fast as possible.
