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.

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

That's amazing, Sophia!

Mine was pretty quick and easy, Tep, I hope yours is, too. I go back next week for a night guard fitting. Supposedly, that will only take 15 minutes. I hope that is true. And then no more grinding my teeth to nubs while I sleep, so maybe fewer crowns in my future..

Mmm, walking to t he library. I could theoretically ride my bike to mine, but I haven't yet. I really should get on that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm up for talking Grantchester. Maybe in the Procedurals thread? Or non-premium cable?

Isn't it on PBS? I would think Procedurals. Not that I have been watching, because Too Much TV, so my opinion is pretty worthless.

Punishingly Intricate

It's too hot today, frankly, although Calistoga is probably a bit pleasanter than right here where I am, if only because of the proximity to mud and wine.

Oh, yeah, and I'll totally be sick of the hot weather this summer when I don't get to sit by the pool drinking wine all day!

Happy Valley is pretty tough to watch but the lead actress is so fantastic and very funny. We can only watch one ep at a time, though, and then have to follow with a cleansing Parks and Rec ep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I think Procedurals. Mostly I only have the one comment, and it is non-procedural: UUGGGGHHHHH! That Amanda is the WORST and should stay away from poor Sidney and he really needs to stay away from her, because the last thing a vicar needs to be doing is snogging a pregnant divorcee. Actually, even worse: a pregnant married woman! Argh.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Lord help me, I entered into a debate on FB with a friend of a friend about "there are no excuses for why someone hasn't registered to vote". Why, I know better than this. Dude is totally talking from privilege. Arrrrgggggggg.

Come on self, why so hungry? We had lunch.

ION, I guess there's a Bernie rally in Vallejo today, near our other location so we're getting alerts about road closures and traffic. I hope this doesn't impact my drive too much, I'm counting on getting to a Starbucks in time to watch the first quarter or so of the Warriors game before Tai Chi.

I am reading Jesse's whitefont even though I don't watch that show because that is just something I like to do (seriously, I enjoy reading whitefont about shows I don't watch a whole lot) and I just have to comment that pregnant married women are vicar catnip! Or so various fictions have led me to believe.

But I promise you, this specific example is the woooooooorst. I mean, Jean-Ralphio-level the wooooorst.

Technically, I mean Mona-Lisa-level the worst, but he's the one singing. You know what I'm getting at.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

In other news, I'm super, super bummed that the weather in Calistoga is 90 and sunny now and is supposed to be rainy and in the 50s/60s when we're there this weekend (i.e., the SAME FREAKING WEATHER WE'VE HAD HERE ALL SPRING). Argh! Stupid weather!

Fucking San Diego does this to me every time.
