I am usually pretty amazing at packing, but now is the time to admit that my dream of getting almost two weeks' worth of clothes and whatnot for both of us into one big suitcase is completely laughable.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

I won't lie: I would watch the shit out of this.
I think it would garner a larger audience that most people would guess.

Is Season Three about people who invent pointless jargon being found bludgeoned to death with a copy of the style guide?

He's a stoic AP-loving copy-editor with a checkered past and an ex-wife out for his blood. She's a lacrosse-playing lesbian author with a unshakable belief in the Chicago manual of style and a passion for the oxford comma. Together they... mostly argue a lot.

The Season One story arc is a battle over Oxford commas. But things heat up in Season Two, when a killer is enforcing one space after a period by removing the writers as well as the extra space.

I would watch this.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
