- Upstart Crow: My new Favorite Thing; thank you, British Television Industry, for giving me this gift. A winking, retro-sitcom reimagining of Shakespeare’s life, it turns Will into a harried-but-dedicated family man with a horrible London-to-Stratford commute, Christopher Marlow into a gregarious, talentless, heterosexual rake who occasionally rips off Will’s work, and Robert Green into a high-born, officious, Elizabethan derivative of Sallieri from Amadeus.

Do you like the show Veronica Mars?
A long time ago, we used to be friends.
I don’t consider myself a “zombie fan”; I’m into the dystopian post-apocalyptic scenarios that zombies create, rather than the dead themselves. And despite the occasional request I’ve received for Walking Dead fanfic, I’ve never really thought zombies were relevant to this blog.… Read the rest “”
There are very few brains I envy.
I envy David Lynch’s.
I watched ‘The OA’ today on your suggestion, and I have so much to say. It is such an amazing show. Yet all my brain keeps going to is the dark terrible things that could be done to me in that basement. Any way I can request to get some validation that I’m not more broken than everyone else?

- The Super Bowl: Probably the best SB I’ve watched live; I may not like Brady & Co., but they put on an amazing show. Same thing goes for Gaga, who delivered the best halftime show this side of Prince; subtly political but primarily energetic and fun.
After twenty years of considering the evidence and searching my soul, I’ve decided to change my position on one of the key cultural questions of my young adulthood.

I love u daddy but if u ever talk badly about Evan Peters again I will come to ur house and fight u 🌸
(Someone’s been deep-diving the blog.)
I’ll try to be kinder to Evan. Note that I haven’t said a word about his… expertly layered and subtle performance in AHS: Hotel. Nor about his… understandable and wholly relatable inability to manage the violent outbursts of a five foot tall toothpick with a dye job.… Read the rest “I love u daddy but if u ever talk badly about Evan Peters again I will come to ur house and fight u 🌸”
