You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Life might be easier that way, but it would be a lot less interesting.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Normal is not a thing I've ever aspired to be. I mean, I've seen normal people.

I had fun with The Witcher, and there's some good fic out there, too. Lots of Jaskier/Geralt and a surprising (to me) amount of Jaskier/Yennifer. Which I'm happy about, because I enjoy her. The timeline should carry Jaskier from ~18 to ~35 or so, and they did not age up Joey Batey at all. So fandom is coming up with increasingly cracktastic reasons.
I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Wynona Earp. I keep meaning to go back to it and catch up, but there's a lot of shiny around to distract me (cf Hamilton).
I sort of gave Warrior Nun the side eye when Netflix recommended it, but maybe I'll give it a shot.

I watched the first Warrior Nun last night and will continue. Potential.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

This never occurred to me once while I was watching, and I was totes spoiled for the whole timelines thing. Ha.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Warrior Nun isn't the best thing I've ever watched, and it's not my new sweeping obsession, but 4 episodes in, I finally really like the main character, Ava (I was lukewarm on her the first 2 episodes). And -- this is a fucking Netflix show in 2020, so there's no reason they can't give us flashbacks of Shotgun Mary (who I LOVE) and Shannon as actual girlfriends, damn it. I don't want hints; I want confirmation.
Tim finally got me back for every time we've watched a TV show or movie set in a coed public school (so, 99% of everything) and I ask him "Is this what public school was really like???" (Seriously, at the age of 49, I'm still fascinated by it.) Anyway, we were watching some fight scene in Warrior Nun and he asked "Is this what your all-girls' Catholic school was like?" (I told him, "God, no! ...we didn't have chain mail.")

Also 4 episodes in. Not forcing me to stay glued to the tv until I finish the series, but enjoyable. Hey, nuns kicking ass, what's not to love.
