This year's end of September has been a weird sort of day and, somehow, it's still not over yet ( Read more... )

The last 6 days have been a madhouse. I was working on my Doctor Strange article while trying to keep up with fall TV premieres and a screening of The Magnificent Seven, so I'm now exhausted. The good news is everything is done. Locked another issue and we go to print. The bad news is my body is apparently the equivalent of a parquet flooring: ( Read more... )

Okay, this is bullshit. Half of the electricity at my house is out (because the house is partitioned and I can't watch The Strain, Atlanta, pre-air Westworld episodes or do anything because the room with the modem is out while the room where I'm in with my Macbook and my TV is in, and this is effed up ( Read more... )

The week was busy.

MONDAY was Game of Thrones S6 premiere at 7 AM at Cinemaxx. There was marathon of all new episodes from the current season of GoT, Silicon Valley and Veep so the event ran for 2 hours long, plus half an hour for trivia games. I won a Targaryen pillow for answering the question, "Name the actors who play Daario Naharis." Then it ( Read more... )

I've had a very tiring and frustrating week. I was so fed up with everything yesterday that I sort of had a breakdown, in private, right before I went to bed last night. Apparently having a breakdown before going to sleep is even more exhausting than having a breakdown at any other time of the day ( Read more... )

( Why do you do this to me, TV? Have I not been loyal to you? )

At the risk of sounding like a sanctimonious bi*ch, I never see the point of taking drugs. Back in school, half of the students in my year were experimenting with drugs and my mother was always like, "I'm warning you: be careful and say no when someone offers you a drug." My reaction back then was: "Yeah, no, mom. That's not just me." Not only was ( Read more... )

An update on the red eye situation: it's not getting better ( Read more... )

Last night I stumbled upon a fic (it's bad enough that I stumbled upon a fanfic) which immediately led me to clicking, in a very ill-advised manner (but I was alone so nobody was there to stop me!), this link that instantly opened a can of worms. That can is called celebrity gossipWhich is, you know, something I usually don't even want to look at ( Read more... )
