Walking Dead Episode Reviews
Apr. 15th, 2018 10:09 amSince the season finale is tonight, I thought I'd purge the backlog of reviews I've been compiling.
I wish this was going to be the series finale. As much as I love this show when it's rocking, I really think it's time for it to be over. I'd always rather something burn hot and bright rather than drag out forever.

I wonder what sort of absurd cliffhanger they'll leave us on tonight? *sigh*

Yuletide + Walking Dead
Dec. 12th, 2017 12:29 pm1. Yuletide is did! Yay! Thanks for all your cheerleading. I really enjoyed writing this one, and I hope my recipient enjoys reading it.
2. So, here's my thoughts on the last few episodes of The Walking Dead, including the mid-season finale. ( What a mixed bag, my friends )

LJ Questions + Misc
Apr. 5th, 2017 09:13 am1. I'm not really sure what to do about LJ. Most people seem to be deleting their journals. That seems probably not necessary to me, but maybe I'm wrong. I have to admit that I would prefer having only one social media platform to check; I also don't have any super attachment to LJ anymore. IDK
If I delete, I lose access to club-joss, and I think I saw someone saying they're going to delete communities with no activity for a certain number of days (Is that right?). I could make a new DW account and import that community, right?
I have a question about how importing works. If I import my LJ to my DW, it will duplicate posts that aren't crossposted, correct? Will it just tack on the LJ comments to the end of the DW comments or intersperse them?
What do y'all think?
2. Walking Dead season finale was awesome. ( SPOILERS )
3. Into the Badlands has been good. I just wish it wasn't on so late at night. I have so much trouble staying up that late now. It ruins my sleep; it's like there's a window in which I can fall asleep easily, and if I stay up too much past that, I'm screwed.
4. I'm going to stop taking the Elmiron for my IC. It causes night sweats, and I'm finally getting really fed up with it. I'd gone six months with zero night sweats, and taking this medicine made me start having them again. They've gradually gotten worse the longer I've taken it as well. Last night I changed shirts three times. It's really affecting my sleep. I've got about 3 weeks of the med left before I need a refill, and part of me feels like I should finish it out since I paid for it, but the other part of me despairs at three more weeks of terrible sleep laying on cold wet sheets and getting up to change my clothes every few hours. *sigh*

All the TV
Mar. 24th, 2017 10:05 am1. Downton Abbey watch continues. ( SPOILERS )
2. I have been enjoying The Walking Dead so much more now that we've gotten past the "must establish Rick's manpain" portion of the season. ( SPOILERS )
3. NCIS just did an episode where someone has cancer, and it pissed me off. Everyone keeps telling the patient to keep fighting and not to give up, and I don't think that's always good advice. A person has the right to decide she doesn't want to do X horrible thing that may not work. Also, they dangled an experimental drug trial in front of her like a miracle cure, and that is just not the way it works. First off, you might not qualify for the trial, you might end up in the placebo group, and the drug might not even work or it might have terrible side effects (give you a different kind of cancer or make your kidneys explode, who knows?). Bah.
4. Emma and I finished season 1 of Dollhouse and loved it. ( SPOILERS )

Things for Thorsday
Dec. 8th, 2016 10:06 pm1. I turned in the Yuletide story I'd been assigned scant hours before the Yuletide Assignment Deletion Debacle of '16. I'm halfway done with the Unasked For Incest version and have found someone to gift with it (which was surprisingly harder than I thought; not very many people asked for this pairing at all).
2. I started my period four days before I take my ring out which is super weird and has never happened before. *sigh* All I can guess is that losing weight and/or stress has sent my cycle out of whack.
3. I've been running five miles at a stretch in the gym. It's boring but not hard. I'm so proud of how my stamina has increased and how strong I am getting.

Political Action + Media Consumed
Nov. 15th, 2016 03:23 pm1. I called all my CongressPeople and asked them to oppose Steve Bannon's appointment as President-elect Trump's chief strategist. It took less than five minutes to make all three calls which were each answered after the first ring. All three are Republicans, so who knows what effect, if any, my calls will have.

Poor Josh. I think he's taking it the hardest. *pets him*
( SPOILERS )
I'm such a completist. I want to see how it ends and what happens, but sheesh. I'm ready for some real and true hope. After the Governor, after cannibal!Tasha Yar, Neegan just seems kind of an over-the-top caricature of a villain. I mean, how many evil, rapey, murderous despots can the show go through before it become a snoozefest? I will answer that question. And we're there already.
