1. Looked at DVR selections for tonight, and decided to watch West Side Story on Netflix -- for the fiftieth time. ( Read more... )

2. EW has taken up the whole mag with lists of Rom-Coms from the 1980s forward (because apparently it thinks the Rom-Com began in the 1980s, it didn't.) I don't tend to like the ones most people do. (ie. Dorky guy gets goregous girl trope or dorky girl gets goregous guy trope, when in reality the girl is goregous...is lost on me. I don't consider those romantic comedies. Also anything by Judd Apatow or Amy Schulmer with few exceptions doesn't work for me. The only one that worked was Train Wreck -- which surprised me.)

My fav's?

What are yours?

3. Re-watched Avenger's Infinity War last night -- highly rewatchable, all sorts of things I picked up on that I hadn't seen the first round. Also, hands down the best of the ensemble super-hero films, with X-men Days of Future Past and Captain America:Civil War slightly behind. It's better plotted and builds more on what came before, also less gimmicky.

I almost want to compare it to Last Jedi and the MCU films to the DC and Star Wars franchises -- to sort of show why the MCU films work and the Star Wars and DC franchises are a cluttered mess. (Although cluttered messes are much more fun to write fanfiction about and be fannish on...just because you desperately want to de-tangle and make sense of them.)

4. Still puttering away on my novel. It seems to be going on forever. Finding time to work on it during lunch and at night here and there. Cancelled PT for tomorrow due to snow and ice storm -- it was actually the rain and ice that concerned me.

5. Sigh...lots of television adaptations, no time nor money to see them all. We're in a content glut. OR television critic heaven.

List of shows...on or coming:

Ack.

Name your poison -- it's been adapted somewhere or will be, you just have to have the wherewithal to find and afford it. I had to draw the line somewhere. Will most likely cancel Hulu again. Keep Amazon, Netflix and HBO for now. Can't afford them all. Netflix is the most cost effective with 900 shows and counting. Amazon also is cost effective -- because gives me other things. Not quite seeing it with Hulu -- so far only watched one show on it (Runaways) tried another (Handmaid's Tale -- but it frustrated me, so no.).

A somewhat amusing NFWS example of how easily you can get yourself humiliated and taken down on the internet.

A guy attempts to fact check a female photographer on the difference between vulvas and vaginas...

I sort of feel for him...I've had it happen, although not on that. Usually on something more innocuous like what really happened in a television episode or book.

My headspace app states before posting a response to anything on the internet or responding to an email, to pause and take a couple of deep breaths. [Or research first.]
