i'm serious that claws is an insane kind of show
on wednesday the building where i work had an ice cream social for the whole building, so i basically had ben & jerry's for lunch. and thursday we had ice cream sandwiches in the office. it was a dairy-y couple of days. friday was mostly marked by a lot of technological bullshit. and last night my sister had a birthday dinner for friends (yes, her actual birthday was a month ago) - three of her friends who i know and who know each other, and a bunch of tennis friends who know each other. it was kind of two separate groups of people nominally going out together. after dinner they hung out at the bar some more but i went home. i mean, they're nice people but they're not my friends, you know? i did have a delicious fried clam roll, tho.
i think my bigbang is about ready to go, woot. i post on wednesday. i finished it up today, just thought of something i should add to the author's note (i love author's notes), and decided at almost six that i should go for a walk. fresh air, exercise, rain.... >.< at least i thought to bring an umbrella.
is anyone watching claws? it's nominally about nail techs and drugs, and is operatically ott. it's got the aforementioned nail techs and drugs, money laundering, but also the dixie mafia, the russian mob, male exotic dancers (new this season!), sex, drug dealers, square-dancing messianic jews, massive fucking houses, a barely-legal oxy clinic, a jewish doctor of lebanese descent who likes to be smacked around occasionally [1], queer folks, lots of people of color, double-crosses, betrayals, people getting shot, family of choice, fabulous manicures, and probably something else i can't think of. oh, last season, an artist who works with pubic hair, specifically pubic hair from inmates of a women's correctional facility, which she uses because she thinks it's pretty. (she's, uh, bugnuts. i mean aside from her use of other people's pubic hair in her art.) it is completely fucking crazy, every so often i have no idea what's going on, and i love it. the second season just started - i think tonight is the third episode - and i highly recommend it. but seriously, it's nuts. it's set in florida, maybe that's why.
and preacher is back tonight! \o\ /o/ \o\ /o/ different kind of nuts. :D i'm glad there are previouslies, because last season was a long time ago and i forgot how it ended. dominic cooper's hair continues to be fabulous and gravity-defying.
check out the scale model of rome in the age of constantine (306-337 ce) (thank you wikipedia :D ) at the museum of roman civilization. it was apparently made in the 30s. neat!
a (now former) janitor for the border patrol took home and photographed random things confiscated from migrants trying to cross into the us. he wasn't supposed to take any of that stuff - i guess they just throw it out? - and has since quit janitoring to take pictures of it full time. you know, if you haven't had your quota of "depressing and maddening shit" yet.
i know pride month is almost over, but this syrian-canadian chocolatier makes chocolate bars wrapped in a bunch of different lgbtq+ flags. yum.
...i just saw a preview for ant-man and the wasp and hello, hannah john-kamen! when does killjoys come back?
[1] this is significant to me because a. usually when jewish characters show up in tv shows, their religion is their single defining personality trait - they're "the jewish character" - and b. they tend to be ashkenazic, meaning their people came from eastern europe. so to have a kinky dude of eastern mediterranean descent who has a lot of other personality traits besides "jewish" is fantastic.
