*falls asleep sitting up*
on saturday i broke passover by going over to my sister's to eat chinese food and watch exodus: gods and kings, which would have gone better if we hadn't kept having technological issues. by which i mean, the movie paused for like a half a second every minute or so, which made it VERY HARD to watch. my sister called comcast three times and the last time just said "we can't watch this, can i get a refund". (she rented it.) i think i imprinted too hard on the ten commandments to really enjoy any other exodus movies, and while i generally like christian bale, i don't buy him as moses. he'll always be batman to me. food was good, tho.
and yesterday i went out for ethiopian food for lunch with tamalinn, where we learned that it was ethiopian easter. i didn't even know that was a thing! evidently ethiopian christians use the eastern orthodox calendar, and eastern orthodox easter was yesterday. instead of giving up something for forty days for lent, ethiopians basically go vegan for fifty-five days. i can respect that kind of commitment, but yikes.
and today work was work. i left late and had to go to the post office that's open until midnight, and then gave directions to a couple of middle-aged women from new hampshire who were in town to see pink. (one of them admitted to being afraid of the t. i didn't judge her to her face, because i guess if you never go into a big city and take the subway it can be intimidating, but i might have judged a little in my head.) we ended up going the same direction on the same train, so they got really good directions. one of them was wearing a pink shirt - the color, not a concert type t-shirt - and pink sneakers, and the other had pink nail polish, pink streaks in her hair, and a cute little pink purse. they were sartorially prepared. and very thankful! and super chatty. pink shirt has a four-year-old granddaughter (she showed me a pic and the kid is freakin' adorable) who wanted to come. grandma said "maybe when you're a little older". one of them had bad knees and the other had a bum foot and they'd taken the bus and the train from new hampshire because they didn't want to drive in the city (and who can blame them) and they were clearly anxious about taking public transportation (and i think slightly misinformed about how to get home) and they were so cute.
i think i found a new tv show. killing eve, with sandra oh (who always makes me think of
happydork) as a detective? i'm not sure what her specific job is, but she ends up hunting a serial killer. the pilot was last night and i'm intrigued.
i just can't with timeless. i totally get why lucy doesn't want to let eight innocent women die, but you can't tell me that those eight women getting to live instead of hanging as witches isn't going to change history in any way. team time travel has gotten very cavalier about the time travel. and i think wyatt is a dumbass for introducing jessica to the time pod, and i don't know why they all stood there and let him do it. you're not special, wyatt. interesting that he would be such a different person in this timeline, tho, thanks to what could have been a really minor tweak in 1980. team time travel doesn't seem to have any effect on the present, no matter what happens in the past, but team rittenhouse goes back forty years, breathes weird, and suddenly jessica is alive and wyatt is an alcoholic and a bad husband. i find it very annoying. where's the tension in a time travel show if the bad guys are the only ones who actually change time?
i don't think jiya telling rufus about the future made it happen (and as an aside, the guy he was supposed to kill had THE WORST WIG OH MY GOD) but i can see why he might think that. but it wasn't her fault, rufus, she was trying to help you! i continue to like them a lot.
now i'm watching an ancient x-files rerun and scully's fluffy little yippy dog has just been eaten.
the oldest human footprints discovered in canada were found on an island, suggesting that early humans traveled by boat.
for the nerdy knitters/crocheters in the audience: have a porg pattern and a pattern for the infinity gauntlet.
speaking of knitting, this guy knits tourist site sweaters showing the sites before he visits them, so he can take selfies of, say, him in front of the hollywood sign wearing a hollywood sign sweater.
