So, get this: you already know about my fibroid friends (I've tentatively named them Hercules Mulligan, because they're on the inside), but guess who may or may not ALSO have a hernia? Gee, I love being in my mid-thirties

Aw, I really hope this new boy is more delightful in person than his small-talk-through-text abilities would indicate. Here's hoping!
We just finished OJ last night. I think technically I only googled "marcia clark christopher darden", but still, same. Such a great show! I guess I was in 6th-7th grade through much of the real trial; I remember watching the Bronco chase live, but I remember zero about the televised trial. So obviously I was "spoiled" for the outcome, but a significant portion of the details was totally new to me. What do you honestly think about whether he did it, after watching this show? The way Cuba Gooding Jr. portrayed him, I almost feel like he was too dumb to have pulled it off... but even with all the physical evidence, to me the most compelling reason to think he's guilty is that he didn't ask how she died. I know that doesn't prove anything, but think about it: if someone told you a close loved one (or honestly, even an acquaintance) died, the *first* thing you'd say, just on instinct, without evening thinking about it, would be, "What happened?" I keep coming back to that.
I've been watching Season 1 of Kimmy Schmidt but am only five or so episodes in. I... like it but don't love it yet. It obviously ticks all my 30 Rock boxes, but it's almost *too* silly and over the top. I think the difference is that in 30 Rock, Liz was mostly normal but just surrounded by crazy characters; Kimmy is a little hard to swallow as a protagonist because she's also so off the wall. There's literally not one normal character in the whole show, which just makes it seem like total chaos. But I'm only a few episodes in, like I said, so let me finish and then see what I think!
I do think he did it, or possibly that someone very close to him did it (apparently the leading alternative theory is that his son did it, which I would also maybe buy). There's just so much evidence against him! But at the same time, I thought the series was so eye-opening about that-like, to what degree is my belief that he did it linked to the fact that I'm white?
Kimmy Schmidt! I loved the first season, but I agree that it's maybe not for everybody. I'm a few episodes into S2 and it's not setting my world on fire, but I hear it gets better after the third episode, which I'm looking forward to. I do think Ellie Kemper is terrific, and I love love love Titus Burgess, and I'm so thrilled that this show has been such a good thing for him.
