Oct. 18th, 2019 10:25 pm1. Been having a bit of a day, nothing too serious, just one of those days where if there's a sign that says "bang head here"...it's well a fitting metaphor. Although I did manage to wish my mother a happy birthday. My family is rather low-key on birthdays.
Won't bore you...well, suffice it to say...it was a difficult day. Things did not go my way. Ie. The type that drives one to drink.
2. For people who feel the need to discuss The Good Place episodes... Here's a DW community devoted to it
I don't feel inclined at the moment. The Good Place is hit or miss for me lately.
I'm really only watching it for the philosophical humor, the rest of it? Meh. And I don't care at all about the characters -- because I don't really find any of them relatable, except for possibly Chidi.
To give you an idea? The best bit to date was in The Girl From Arizona Part II, where Chidi informs Simone that she has fallen into solipsism , where you think that you are the only thing that is real and everything else is a construct of your imagination. It's rather juvenile, he points out, and self-centered. It also is a bit lazy, because you don't have to treat anyone with kindness, or work at all -- because nothing is real except you and it's all in your head. (Made me think of the Matrix and Wizard of Oz -- in that the central characters have a view at one point that nothing else is real, same with Alice in Wonderland.)
The philosophical humor is a hoot and innovative. Everything else is your standard run of the mill sitcom schickt (which I can't spell to save my life, but I know it is a word or at least I think it is one.)
Oh well, YMMv.
I'm behind with tv at the moment. Also, I only have access to the Optimum channels, Amazon, Netflix and HBO. Which is more than enough.
3. Reading a Nora Robert Contemporary Romance about a composer turned college professor and a ballet dancer turned toy store owner. It's sweet. Not a lot of conflict, and the conflict that exists is more internal than external. I find it
mindless and comforting. Except when my kindle gives out on me -- due to not being charged, which it did today.
4.What's the Difference between Seltzer, Club Soda, and Sparkling Mineral Water -- apparently there is one? Who knew. If I were to guess? I'd say the sodium content.
Eh wrong.

Been wrong a lot lately, it's weirdly liberating to be wrong. More so to admit it.
