Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
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.
Well, phew! That was a hell of a whirlwind of an epic season finale, Midnight Burger! Party at the Sheepseye (Sheep's Eye?)! I think I have to listen again very soon. There's just so much. It honestly could have been a series finale, which has me SO curious about next season. I mean, we certainly got a hint...
Can't wait for Shift Notes.
Well, phew! That was a hell of a whirlwind of an epic season finale, Midnight Burger!
I got everything I wanted:
an explanation for Leif's arm and foot
(I was NOT
expecting Meesock!), a resolution to the cowcatcher
(although that was a little too
deus ex machina for my taste),
and at least
confirmation that Frank is alive, if not rescued.
Oh! And
Caspar actually said "I love you" to Ava,
holy shit!!!
I definitely need to re-listen to it.
Agreed on all of that! I actually laughed out loud when
Meesock said, "You forgot to arm it." I have been low key worrying about the cow-catcher ever since he hit send.
Ha!
And
I love you/I know was awesome and so earned! And she called him Schmoopie at one point way earlier... I thought, "Aw, how cute, and that's probably all we'll get
."
And
I really want some adventure time with David, and I have always hoped he'd revisit the transporting lawyer
!
And, and, and... so much to love!
I'm glad we actually got to hear
Frank and Trinket (sp?) interact, so I was good with putting a pin in Frank. Those two kids are adorbs
.
I'm glad we actually got to hear
I think I actually
ship Trinkett and Frank harder than I shipped Caspar and Ava.
I just love them.
Yeah, 100% on the shipping harder part. You can know, by a smidge.
Yay, a weekend I am not spending in one of our local Kaiser hospitals.
I believe I have sprained either a hip flexor or a quadricep. Where's my back-door pilot for a streaming TV series?
Yay shunning hospitals, less yay on sprains.
I’m going to my first real estate open house tomorrow. I don’t know if it’s my dream home, but it’s sort of what I’m looking for and in my price range. [link]

Cute place! Love the porch.
Maybe you could call it back-door if you hurt your glutes.
Also, no fair--I've been waiting on my defective close-up a lot longer than you!(Maybe, as a woman, I could work in your room and be a Two-Fer like the guy on 30 Rock--which I can't believe I'm quoting/ referencing because I didn't find it funny all that often.) Somewhere between my sense of humor being genuinely weird and kind of evil and nothing being quite so funny as a super-fan thinks when they're all "OMG, you'll *die*."
ETA: Doesn't change the fact that I'm at least a Two-Fer. Maybe another half because some douche online could call me Pocahontas--though probably not *twice*
For the record, I've never "checked a box" about that, ever. And the connection is close enough I've always felt a little weird about *not* doing it. I'm not embarrassed, right? But it is only a little, and I wouldn't be saying it because I need anything. (And my grandfather? Kind of the self-hating mixed-breed from the Western...definite proof that I'm not adopted, even though I don't work my shit out by spreading slurs around--he died when I was nine, but the older I get, I *do* feel some commonality there, even though I don't drink and I can't allay people's suspicions by saying I'm Italian. Hard-fought education didn't save him, either, you know?(of all the threads through the generations. Sigh.)
By the time I knew him, though, he had a recognizably Native face there was no hiding from(and the person in pop culture that made me think of him, outside of the dad in Smoke Signals, used to be Muhammed Ali, of all people--I was a little kid and he was big, brown, Southern and around a lot.
