  • Community, followed by Fringe and then Justified.

    Community is my ideal sitcom: weird, experimental, hilarious, and emotional. It was my comfort show for a very long time. My ringtone comes from that show, Professor Professorson’s conspiracy theory ringtone. (Dun dun dunnnnnn)

    Fringe is my ideal sci-fi show: weird, far reaching, and is allowed to reach its end.

    Justified is my ideal cop show: funny and dark, with a great supporting cast.

    My first thought when I see someone with a ton of tattoos is “Fuck that looks terrible/painful/expensive.”

    It’s only after that I try to appreciate them as a personal choice and artistic thing.

    That said, I do want one tattoo, from the show Fringe, episode White Tulip. Just haven’t made it a priority at all.


  • Spiritualists conducting scam seances in 1850s Boston, the Fox sisters. Their scam was done by “knocking noises” that were generated by the sisters cracking joints or even just tapping on the table or floor.

    The circles they traveled in included Quakers, suffragettes, high society, and financiers. (Some of their early seances centered on stock market predictions, and made them a good deal of money.)

    I just love that intersection of societies coming together to be scammed by some pretty bright women, in a really interesting time in our national history. Strict religious beliefs in a marriage with new age free thought.

    I have kind of wanted to write a book centered on that time but never found a good hook.

    My grandmother was an eventual product of that generation in Boston. Very equal rights for women while in a weird religious sect, Christian Science, founded by feminist Mary Baker Eddy.







  • LuxeBidet is the model I got.

    Totally entry level, hooks up to the water supply to the toilet tank. No heat or special features, stupid easy to install. Price around $50.

    To my mind, no need to go more expensive until you know more what you might want.

    I do have an aunt and uncle who got an expensive toilet bidet unit with heated seat and all the features… after having tried my bidet while visiting.

    Plus with the cheap unit you get the bonus of hearing the startled yelps of your uninitiated guests as cold water hits their asshole for the first time.
