shadowkatStill cold though. Just not as cold? It got up to 58 today, and is 48 F now, and tomorrow - we may get a balmy 57 and Sunday, woo-hoo, 60? Also it keeps raining and it's not even April yet. So we're getting a kind of slant towards Spring, while most places in the US are getting a slant towards summer.

I need to stop reading articles about the Buffy vs. Hulu/Disney fiasco - it's pissing me off. Disney is not looking good at the moment? They keep leaking things that are pissing everyone off? Bad Disney. (Actually Disney has been disappointing me for a while. They better not screw up Avengers: Doomsday.)
I texted my brother, who is also a Buffy fan (except he preferred Angel and I preferred Spike - we don't discuss that.)
Me: Hulu cancelled the Buffy Revival because its not "mainstream enough" for Hulu. Ugh. Bastards.
Brother: Nooo!!! But hey, at least we get the Peaky Blinders Movie finally!
Me: Yup. Netflix for the Win.
[Television viewing this weekend is Peaky Blinders Movie and The Pitt, I don't what else.]
Me: While I'm admittedly not surprised Hulu passed on the Buffy revival..I'm furious it did it partly because it wasn't "mainstream enough" for Hulu!
Mother: How's that possible? Hulu has a lot of non-mainstream content on it? How is Hulu mainstream? I don't think of Hulu as mainstream?
Me: Well..except for the Bachelor/Bachelorette which is mainstream, along with the Secret Lives of Mormon Lives..and god Disney and Hulu have a lot of horrible content.
Mother: Speaking of ..The Bachelorette got cancelled - not sure why.
ME: That's because the Bachelorette was charged with domestic violence - by her ex, and a video went viral of her attacking him with a chair. (I'm serious - it is real. It was on Instagram, and it was with a chair, while kicking him and hitting him and putting him in a headlock while her daughter was in the room...it's bizarre considering he's bigger than she is? If it was staged? It back fired? I feel kind of validated? After fighting with idiots on social media about how, yes, men can be the victims of domestic violence too and no, it's not a gender specific crime. I know because I have male cousins who are victims of domestic violence.) Honestly, they need to cancel that entire franchise. It brings out the worst in people. Reality shows do - they depict the worst in people and bring out the worst. Find something less toxic to entertain folks with - like, I don't know, Buffy?
Life at times, feels like a series of disappointments. Although, the struggle makes us stronger and appreciate the cool stuff more.
Why are they setting off fireworks? What holiday is it? Oh, Spring Equinox - I looked it up. Seeing nothing - just noise. (NYC which isn't supposed to set them off (it's illegal) - certainly does a lot of it.)

Happy it's Friday. Happy I have a good book to read - finally. Not happy I have a dental appointment tomorrow. But decided not to put it off any longer. Also the PT has decided I need to see a vestibular therapist prior to continuing with PT or asap, since my vertigo/dizzy/balance issues keep interfering with PT.
Off to take a shower and go to bed.
