I think with my mouth
I got up early this morning because I'm on standby for a lot of work that requires crazy turnarounds. It's now almost noon here and I have yet to receive a single email. I am not even remotely impressed >:/
Yesterday, after tackling the follow-up to the questionable fic I started in November, I wrote the ending to the tentacle sequel that I also started in November. It sorta got away from me and I'm no longer sure what story I'm telling with it. *sigh* These things happen, I suppose. Anyway, I'd love to spend some time editing it today but am afraid of getting into the sucker and then have all this damned work come in. Why can't my clients be more reliable? Today is a whole bunch of wait and see apparently.
In other news, I'm one episode away from finishing the first season of Jessica Jones. Last night while watching the penultimate episode, Netflix hiccuped and stalled during the last 7 minutes. We kept reopening the app but it kept crashing. There was a lot of THIS happening:
Finally, MB got the episode open and skimmed to a non-glitchy part and we finished it (I think we only missed a minute, tops). I'm not sure how I'll handle the final episode. I really, really, really love this show, even more than Daredevil. The quality of it (and the conversations it is provoking) ease the ennui I feel towards my other, cable-based tv loves. Sometimes I both love and hate Netflix and the binge watching phenomenon.
As a completely unrelated television aside, I watched a fascinating Showtime documentary about Marlon Brando called Listen to me Marlon, which I highly recommend to everyone. I was never a huge Brando fan and frankly thought he was a bit stuck up and self-involved, but this film made me see him in a completely different light. It turns out that he kept almost obsessive, taped autobiographical sessions throughout his adult life and this film is made entirely from those musings. It's amazing - his insights are beautiful and twisted and strange. I think he must have been very alone most of his life. So, yeah, if you have any interest, watch it.
Finally, I stole this last link from umadoshi. It is Carrie Fisher's Good Morning America interview (ostensibly about the new Star Wars movie, but not really). She is hilarious and says things that I relate to as a newly middle-aged woman. Also her dog, Gary, steals the show and if there is any justice in the world, some tv show producer out there is trying to dream up a Carrie & Gary talk show concept right now.
