I'm not. It didn't look that interesting in previews, but the reviews I've read have been excellent. Maybe I'll mainline it after the season airs.
It doesn't start as strong, but it's become pretty compelling.
Saffron: You just had a better hand of cards this time. Mal: It ain't a hand of cards. It's called a life.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

OK, this is probably going to sound wrong, but: sometimes I'm glad to be single because it means I have to take care of everything myself.
And you never have to argue about how it gets done! Or that it's not getting done quickly enough.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs start on Wednesday. I don't know how I'm supposed to work with all the hockey I need to be watching.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I feel like I deserve an adulting medal today. I forced myself to learn new things at work and did it cheerfully! When I got home I paid the bills, triaged email, tidied the house for an hour in preparation for the maid service coming to clean it tomorrow, read for about half an hour...and WROTE. Wrote for the first time since I came down with the flu over two weeks ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Gold star,
Every time I'm visiting family in Providence they ask if we're staying overnight somewhere.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
That's hilarious, meanwhile, my family in IN asked me if we would drive up or fly if we came this summer, letting me know it can be driven in one day. Over 1000 miles, 1 day, because we all grew up in th SW and that's how we do.

I think that way out west. I do NOT think that way out east. It's kinda funny.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Charles P. Pierce has an article about a movie coming out about Maxwell Perkins and his experiences editing Thomas Wolfe. Sounds relevant to many here; from the comments (yes, I read the comments ... some of them): A missing Oxford comma is well worth a war.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Someone who grew up here looked askance at me for driving up to Eugene (~500 miles) for the weekend. I was all, buddy, we once drove 720 miles round trip in one day to see a movie (Fairbanks to Anchorage, Much Ado About Nothing), this is nothing.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The local color commentator for the Saints died from cancer today. Between him and Will Smith, it's been a rough week for the Saints.
Every Saints fan has their favorite "Hokie-ism."
"He's running around down there like a sprayed roach."
"He's so fast he could go rabbit-hunting with a hammer."
"I've never seen anything that big without John Deere stamped on it."

I'm in the office today. My commute was 45 minutes instead of the usual 2 minutes. I know I'm whining. Especially since once a month my commute is about 4 hours (flying to SLC).
My boss is here, so at least we get to touch base. He visits the office only a bit more often than I do.
