It was seriously, stupidly cold here. Too cold to try that egg trick, I'd wager. I'm shocked the guy didn't get frostbite with fingers exposed like that.

Too cool about that crocheter. People like that amaze me.

I tried but noped out of Deadly Class.

I thought Pocky was Japanese too. Huh.

i wondered why the guy's fingertips weren't freezing too. maybe he stuck his hands inside his coat when he wasn't on camera.

that crocheter is really someone special, isn't she? sometimes people are really good.

i think one of the reasons i'm watching deadly class is because my high school self would've been all over it, so i'm watching out of a weird kind of nostalgia. i like the guest stars, tho - french stewart! erica cerra! henry rollins! that part's kind of fun.

I gave up on Vikings a season or two back. It just kinda got too bleak and bloody, which I know is the point, but it started feeling gratuitous and unfun. I'd be interested in some Tang Dynasty crossover, though. I feel like TV shows tend to gloss over the fact that there was cross-pollination between different cultures all around Europe, Africa and Asia centuries before colonialism.

Deadly Class is turning out to be pretty neat, though you have a point about it being a bit of a boys' show.

Did you watch Russian Doll? I just binged it yesterday and I thought it was great. Similar sort of thing to Dead Like Me, Being Erica etc.

vikings is still kind of bleak and bloody and i miss ragnar on a regular basis, so i'm not 100% sure why i'm watching it. i know people traveled more widely back then than we think - i mean, i know vikings made it at least as far as persia - so there's no reason ivar can't get to china, but, like, is he going to raise an army and take kattegat back with a bunch of chinese warriors? i also know it's probably not a particularly historically accurate show, but i can only suspend my disbelief so far.

i never even heard of russian doll! it's good, huh?
