Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S woke us ups few times this morning, starting at 3:30. Ugh. It's been raining for most of the day, so he's spent a good part of the time watching Pokemon Journeys on Netflix.

I have picked up and set up a wireless printer. Yay me.

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

The Great, Dickinson, The Expanse, Only Murders in the Building are all top tier TV.

(I'm one of I think four people on the planet who think Ted Lasso is just fine? It's a better-than-average workplace sitcom and I'm happy to recommend it, but it's not...quite as phenomenal as Twitter seems to think it is?)

I also thought Sex Education S2 got a bit repetitive, but the characters are still great and basically I could watch Gillian Anderson read the phone book, so.

Yeahhhhhh possibly I wouldn’t have loved Ted Lasso as much if I’d heard all the hype first.

Punishingly Intricate

We've been loving South Side on HBO Max. Hilarious especially if you have a Chicago connection.

Oh, and if you can handle a pandemic storyline, Station Eleven on HBO is incredible.

So much good stuff out there! I did watch Only Murders, and we both really liked it. I have tried a lot to get into The Expanse, but I can't get there. I'm in S2 right now. I don't know why I can't -- everyone I share the SF appreciation with highly recommends it, and I like it, but not enough to be consistent. I guess in the grand scheme, that's OK.

We don't have Apple TV, so no Ted Lasso for me. One day.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm fighting a migraine, and even though my meds make me a little loopy, I'm still working. So I went to put the letter "i" in a word but typed a "1" instead...and had to stare at it for a few seconds to figure out why it looked wrong.

They PAY ME for my skill.

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

Sometimes I type 4 when I mean f. Because it starts with an f? I think? It's weirdly hard to correct one whatever neuron misfire happens. Like my fingers have their own mischievous autocorrect imp. Migraine~begone~ma

I am into season 2 of Ted Lasso, already pleased that I have a short wait for season 3, and figuring that it's good prep for actually writing my self-eval that I am still procrastinating on. Right?

I am trying to dye my hair periwinkle but am a bit worried that the roots (like 2” of them) were a little too yellow despite toner and will be sort of green? Fingers crossed. The ends should look nice at least. Maybe I can cover the roots with another color/darker color?

Obviously I am doing this instead of writing the “leadership text” I’m supposed to be writing about the various times when I embodied my company’s values….

I remember in elementary school trying to spell "of" and getting stuck on "uv" for way too long. And this was after I'd been an avid reader for many years.
