1. National Geographic - The uplifting tale of these tiny island foxes nearly wiped out by disaster

I don't know about you, but I needed something positive.

2. There are some entertaining bits on Twitter - if you have dark absurdist sense of humor like myself. If not? Best to scroll on by. Yes, I know, I don't find slapstick humor funny, but I find...well ..

Apparently the Doofus, unsatisfied with just egging his supporters to protest in huge groups and take hydrocholorine, is now suggesting they drink or inject themselves with disinfectant to kill the virus or expose themselves to ultraviolet light in huge quantities (even though ultraviolet light is a known carcinogen - but hey, good news, you might kill the virus, bad news? you'll definitely get cancer). So, does he want to kill his supporters and voting base? Is this his goal? I mean he does realize if all of his supporters die, he won't have any right? That's it. It's not like anyone else is listening to him. I can't quite decide sometimes if the Doofus thinks he's a late-night comedy tv show host in competition with the others for ratings, in some bizarre virtual reality simulation.

I don't know. The world is insane. I just live in it. Well, assuming I survive 2020 that is. Actually when I mentioned this to my boss on March 10, he retorted, assuming we all survive 2020.

Yes, methinks that 2020 is trying to kill us.

3. Entertainment.

* Zoey's Extraordinary Play List - it's official - I despise Max. He's a self-absorbed jerk, who needs to go. Also, as a former copyright/intellectual property specialist who worked in a tech start up company, the storyline was annoying me to no end. ( rant )

Sigh. I did like the musical numbers. Also everything with her father, Simon, and Mo worked. It's the work plot and the storyline with Max that really has got to go.
Oh well, it only has two more episodes.

It's a good thing the television seasons are shorter this year - since I have 74 hours of television saved on the old DVR and have yet to get to most of it.I may delete some of it. What can I say? I want to watch cartoons and frothy things on Hulu and Disney +. I do not want to watch dark stuff saved on my DVR such as:

* Prodigal Son (not really interested in a serial killer story at the moment, can't think why?),
*Emergence (3 episodes left and I can't get myself to care),
* Sandition (ditto - I got spoiled about the ending, and lost interest as a result)
* Howards End (ditto)
* Nancy Drew (8 episodes)
* 9-1-1 (4 episodes)
* Easter Parade (movie...don't know why I taped it exactly)
* Greatest Showman...
* Assasin's Creed...(also don't quite know why I taped it - except it was before I got the Disney +/Hulu subscription)
* The Baker and the Beauty...eh
* Killing Eve (see Prodigal Son)
* Doctor Who (8 episodes - see Nancy Drew)
* Station 19 (also see 9-1-1)
* New Amsterdam ( 4 shows)

It's pathetic really. But none of the shows saved grab me right now. I don't really know why. I just can't watch medical dramas at the moment. Or for that matter anything too dark. It's very odd.

* Steven Universe

The Giant Woman and The Arcade - hmmm, Steven's voice appears to be getting deeper, either that or I'm getting used to his voice and it's no longer bugging me, and thus just my imagination. Hard to tell. Garnet got a little more character development in The Arcade, although not much explanation. She appears to have a third eye, and very sensitive eyes...also can fall into a trance when doing repetitive movements. Pearl and Amethyst got a lot more development in The Giant Woman - which I enjoyed a great deal, once I could get myself to focus on it. It was amazing.

I particularly liked the song - which was kind of fun, and unexpected. "I just want to see you turn into a Giant Woman. What can I do to see you turn into a Giant Woman, because that would be really cool" - are the lyrics.

This show is delightful in places, and unlike anything I've ever seen before. It's kind of like David Lynch watched Rainbow Brite, and decided to pitch his idea to Felicia Day, Mr. Rogers, and Joss Whedon, who were high on LSD at the time, who then pitched it to a couple of Magna artists to write and develop it.

In The Giant Woman, Steven manages to convince Amethyst and Pearl to merge into a Giant Woman, after he gets eaten by a huge bird. Inside the bird he finds the heavenly bug, which his pet goat, Steven Jr, is trying to eat. Pearl and Amethyst merge by dancing with each other. Yes, that's a brief synopsis of the plot.
