I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Do you not like the guy from Psych? Because he's really funny in this.

Oh no, I like him fine, but the other guy is better-looking?

JESSE! This episode has Hugh Bonneville! Obviously you must watch it.

My prom date! OK, I will check it out some day. I'm currently feeling a little oppressed by the dozens of episodes of Buffy piling up on my DVR. I watched two last night, and man, Kendra's accent is even more comical than I remembered.

I'm going to the movies tomorrow, I'm seeing Arrival with amyth!!!

Jelly!

Tom, have you tried the "beeb" Chrome extension that lets you run iPlayer?

Marple, Poirot et al were all on ITV, though.

AND it's at our new Alamo Drafthouse, so I can watch and drink beer!

There was an earlier, 1980s Marple on the BBC.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Lovely, just got the price estimate for my carpal tunnel. $900+ dollars. As always, I'm hugely grateful we can afford it, and so angry thinking about the state of insurance in this fucking country.

Gud, I must be wording my question wrong because that list does not answer it. I'll give it some more thought later.

Have they updated the Beeb extension? Because the last iPlayer update made it stop working a few months ago, at least for me.

Ow. Got drunk with friends last night, which felt amazing at the time but now my stomach is staging a revolution and I don't like it one bit.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I never watched Galavant, and I guess I thought the guy from Psych was the lead?

He sort of became the de facto lead in the second season, although Joshua Sasse was still playing the title character. Ah well, as show-eating woobified former villains go, I prefer Medieval Fonzie to Undead Fonzie.

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

I'm not in denial, I'm in disbelief and shock. A difference of opinion is one thing, but this is a total repudiation of everything that matters to me. What Laura said earlier, too long to C&P, but that's what I've been thinking: I can either withdraw and hide in work and fiction and my own life and friend and family and pay no attention to politics for 4-8 years, or I can throw myself into activism. I want to be the person who does the latter, but I don't think I've got it in me. I'm tired, and I'm heartbroken. It feels like everything we fought for for so many years, everything it seemed like we were close to finally getting, is gone, not just a setback, this feels like more than half my country has spat on and stomped on everything I believe and all the good I desire for the world, out of petty hate and false superiority. I feel like there's no point, there's no more "educating" or "enlightenment" that can be accomplished, hate won and the haters don't want anything I want. There is no common ground to be found.
