some artistic license has been taken but this is a shockingly accurate depiction

I don't want to watch anything else but this show.
Current Progress: Season 1, Episode 17.

Time for monkeybutter to feel superior about something.

As of my last post, I had finished Season 2 Episode 16: "Sacrifice"

I had watched the first few episodes of this almost a decade ago, but I had to get it via interlibrary loan, and the other library kept sending the same disc over and over. That basically killed the series for me...but now I have Netflix.
(Mods, if you would be so kind as to edit the date...?)

There seemed to be enough interest in Tehanu to continue going with this.

also I read that Bones episode as Dinosaurs On A Spaceship and was thinking who the hell wanted Mark to watch that again?! :)

This week I had into the 1930's for my first talkies and musicals and brothers named Marx1931 - 1936:
M (1931) - A film I thought I was watching last week... but I got confused and messed up. It happens. Spectralbovine STILL gets the credit for recommending it. Watching Sunday.
The Thin Man (1934) - Some sort of Comedy/Thriller? There's a series of these films but I'm only doing the first one. Credit for the recommendation goes to nanceoir. Watching Tuesday.
Top Hat (1935) - A musical. I'm so excited for musicals. Credit for this one also goes to nanceoir. Watching Wednesday.
Roberta (1935) - ANOTHER MUSICAL. Credit for this goes to... nanceoir. It's nanceoir week! Watching Thursday.
A Night at the Opera (1936) - A comedy by the marx brothers. I actually picked this one myself because though I have seen some Marx brothers I was a kid and my memory is terrible.
I'll have the (what can only loosely be called a) schedule in the reply for the next 3 weeks.

Yes, I am trying to take over Spoils.

I need to catch up on my writing.

I think I'll post impressions in a reply to this so that people can avoid it if they've not seen the series (or if, indeed, rot13 would be best, if a mod wants to edit my reply to this into it that's fine by me... not quite sure what the rules are on the spoils community...).
One thing I will say, and I've been trying to come up with a way to say this without sounding stupid and not really being able to think of a way, so I'll just say it straight out: I have Asperger's and while I pick up on the rules quite well, there are things that I don't realise unless people tell me (I suppose I don't really pick up on the implications)? I know that ableism is a no-no on Mark Watches, which is perfectly fine... but is it a slur to say something like "character X clearly has deep rooted issues". Or (and this one isn't directly related to Paranoia Agent, but it's on the same lines) to say a character seems to be a psychopath (as in the literal definition of the term, not as a slur?) Or is that ableism (or would people take it as ableism)? It's just one of those shows I'd really like to discuss, and I just thought it'll just make me panic about how I phrase things in case I accidentally be offensive so maybe you guys can help (especially as some of you here are mods on Mark Watches and will be able to answer)...
Hope this makes sense... It was just making me worry a bit.

I'm on the fourth episode of season 1 (if you go by production order, which I am) entitled "Zhqq'f Jbzra".
*Every time I keep typing Stark Trek.

However the rest of the weekend was lovely. Mark and I hung out pretty much all day every day and he is THE ACTUAL BEST. Also, he LOVED his Dillon Panthers shirt so yay!

In lieu of a fancy heading have an image of my namesake looking sinister:

I...I think I'm broken now. The XKCD strip seems like a good enough explanation, honestly.

Hi!
I’ve lurked around Mark’s sites for a few months now and have only recently begun to comment.
I’m a twenty-year-old tutor for high-school students who are blind or visually impaired. I’m visually impaired myself so all your lovely gifs are meaningless to me unless I can figure out what they are from other people’s comments. I use a program which reads all the text on my computer screen back to me in a creepy, robotic-sounding voice.
I love to read science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction.
I am woefully uneducated when it comes to movies and TV shows, mostly because until recently, it was difficult to find movies with descriptive video (a separate audio track inserted into the dialog to provide descriptions of the action, facial expressions etc.). Also because my family are terrible at describing movies and shows to me. However, I am slowly beginning to educate myself now. I plan to watch Doctor Who soon to see what all the fuss is about.
Besides reading, I enjoy walking, watching hockey, and writing fanfic.
Okay, so that was a lot longer than I thought it would be. Sorry for rambling.

It'll involve the main stars of the American version, minus Drew Carey (so Colin Mochrie, Ryan Styles and Wayne Brady) with a special guest every week. The host will be Aisha Tyler, who I've never heard of before, but I can't say know to women of colour getting some comedy air-time.
Its been mentioned by both CW and Colin Mocherie, so this seems pretty damn legitimate. I'm going to be cautiously optimisitc for now.

(For those who don't know, Whose Line Is It Anyway was an improv show which had both British and American runs. The American one is usually considered more popular, mostly due to a more stable cast that was able to generate a very awesome chemistry. I highly suggest checking some out!)

My favourite is definitely Raoul.

Because it's ALWAYS an appropriate day to post Shirley Manson.
