Yeezh. I blame global warming.

Hurray for Mama! You go, Steve.

Peed. A lot. Doctors warned me that Furosemide would make me pee. A lot. Although this was weeks ago, I think it finally kicked in. No really I mean it.

I was just listening to that the other day. I have no context as to why I was listening to it, other than a friend strongly recommended it. I enjoyed it well enough, but if there's a story, I wouldn't mind hearing it. Re: shoegaze -- no real surprises towards the top of that list, if I had to predict it based on safe predictions, but I have my own tastes, and Just for a Day ranks head and shoulders above the rest. My Bloody Valentine are on another planet, almost a genre unto themselves, but Just for a Day is such a perfect slab of fuzzed out melodic melancholy happiness that I can actually feel my blood pressure dropping, from before I start listening to it to after it's finished. Chrome is probably my most listened to album across the whole thing, but with rockers like "Crank" and "Show Me Mary", I hardly consider it "just" shoegaze. But like all my favourite bands, Catherine Wheel never felt like they needed to stay within their chosen genre, so I love them all the more for it. Nice to see some lesser known acts like Xinlisupreme and lovesliescrushing. And of course Curve are great. Goddamn, I love Curve. I may have to go back and listen to all my Curve.

Wait, tuxedo cats can do integrals? Goddammit, mine can barely define the empty set. ...Goddammit, mine can barely tell day from night. ...Well, at least mine can defend me from the square root of -1 creatures.

So wrong...

Yeah, I'd agree with their interpretation of the ending, absolutely. But I still didn't find it as cathartic or horrific as the ones I ended up preferring.

Yeah, I'm confounded, too. Everything about what she did stinks. Why did she lie about what she was going to do, if it was legal, or even her job? When my sister was in Sofia, she had to send my Bobby to me in America, because the stray cat population was so huge, most people felt the same way as she did -- that they were nothing but a problem. But in America? In Texas? I wouldn't be surprised if she lost her job elsewhere from doing the same thing. WTF is wrong with people? I would contact the police -- they're probably "reacting" because she's the one who called them (...first), if you can calmly and clearly indicate to them your side of the story, I think they wouldn't be so quick to give you a hard time, and maybe even go back to her about the wrong she did in this matter.

One nice thing about mixlr -- once you start a showreel, it'll load until it caches the whole thing, so even if you lose internet later, you can still play that entire showreel. I've taken to "cache-ing" several shows (I'm up to 6 or 7) and cycling through them for the entire week. At least, on my desktop -- don't know how it works on the phone.

(squints) I don't think that's...

I probably liked that first episode the least -- I just didn't "get" the ending, and I don't think they did neither. I think they just wrote something, I was happy enough with the premise and most of the story arc, they just didn't know how to conclude it. I think they knew that, too, and that's fine. They certainly more than made up for it with all the other episodes, from "Playtest" on. "San Junipero" was by far the most affecting. But I have to admit, "Hated in the Nation" had me on the edge of my seat. So...yeah...all of them.

Black Mirror season 3 -- good goddamn, best season yet, by far. Just astoundingly good, every episode.

I, too, would like the name of the shelter. I donate to a couple organizations that investigate and campaign against shit like this. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not post the information publicly.

Why would he want that?

Thandi Newton and Evan Rachel Wood were both phenomenal in this episode. "Limit your emotional affect, please." I actually shuddered at that transition. And then, before I even have a chance to catch my breath, "Why would I want that?"

I find myself giggling at least once per episode.

Episode 4 music, besides soundtrack: player piano cover of "A Forest" by the Cure at 53:30 "Habanera" from Carmen, Bizet

Wouldn't that have to be brown supremacy? And I learned my H8 on the street, don't need no fancy degree for that...

(follows discussion with interest)

There's a certain beloved forum member who's a big animal rescue advocate -- we call him the cat whisperer -- and there are several of us who have adopted exclusively rescues -- I would call us "satellite" animal rescue advocates -- so the overwhelmingly positive reaction does not surprise me.
