Entertaining in a Disturbing Way

Srsly, yo. The response to multiple people replying to all to request being taken off the list of people receiving notifications is.... NOT TO REPLY TO ALL.

Holy shit, folks.

It was Reply To All Day over the weekend to the tune of five hundred useless emails in my inbox at work.

To be fair. The macros towards the end of today were entertaining.

(but, srsly, how can anyone in IT Security be surprised our employees fall for phishing emails?)

And a second to be fair: a bunch of the extraneous emails were the automatic ticket creation server notifying everyone of the helpdesk tickets being created.

Otoh, where the fuck did February go? I am so god-damned behind on everything.

I have seen Deadpool and enjoyed the hell out of it (if you're a fan of taking the piss out of the superhero genre, this is probably for you). Not to mention, I had no idea Morena Baccarin was in it, but she is, and she was excellent. And Ryan Reynolds is a month younger than me and also amazing. (seriously, I had no idea anyone could actually do Wade justice, and yet, there's Ryan Reynolds.)

There were trailers for Civil War and DC's big Event Movie, and neither were particularly interesting (I was disappointed we didn't get a third helping of "WE are here to save a world that hates and fears us!" when they neglected to show the X-Men: AoA trailer).

Srsly. So many penises. So many dull speeches. So uninterested.

At least I have, um....

Um.

idek.

Motive is back soon? I think? (I'll be over here, watching Kristin Lehman be entertaining, ok)

1. I am officially hired. This has meant I've spent the last two weeks getting another person's work and trying to square it away and I sort of abandoned everything but reading bad novels and awful fanfic.

2. This does, in fact, mean that while I surfaced at one point, I haven't actually read my flist in... almost a month? I think? I don't even know. I could probably try tracking my last comment. (which means, give me all the fic and stuff, because I wants it)

3. It does not, however, mean that I am unaware that MOTIVE IS BACK AND ANGIE AND BETTY ARE STILL THE BEST OMG. um. It is the only thing I'm keeping up on (even if I'm two weeks behind as of tonight). Still. Angie and Oscar and Betty are back! EEEEeeee! (and there was the BEST SCENE EVER in 3x1 involving alcohol in the morgue). Also, it continues to delight in Vancouver actors that have been in EVERYTHING ELSE EVER. Also, Ally Sheedy.

4. I managed to go four months without watching Last Christmas. Not for any specific reason? I don't know why. I just didn't. But I watched it night before last and it was charming (and perhaps I will have more to say at some point after I rip all of season 8 as audio and listen over and over and over and my brain melts. but whatever). Mostly, I want all the Shona fic.

5. I... don't think there's anything else going on in my life right now? Oh. I know. I'm really digging Versant's little LP or whatever they call those these days. Out of Touch is probably my favorite track.

1. I have yet to see 1x9 and 1x10 of Orphan Black. I am... possibly holding off in hopes that it won't end? idk. Whatever, though, I'm avoiding any and ALL spoilers. (I managed to snag one when copying the episode title last week for the episode discussion post and made :/ faces at myself)

2. Wiscon. I totally owe some sort of post on that.

3. Motive's season is over (but it's airing in America now on ABC--if you caught the first episode, please be aware that it is awful. Episode five is the best and if you don't femslash Angie and Dr. Betty, idk what's wrong with you). And the final episode had surprise!Amanda Tapping, amongst other things. (ok, also, Canadian Actor Bingo was rampant, thanks to Vancouver)

4. I still cannot believe they canceled the Primeval spin-off. It was silly, but entertaining. Sigh.

5. Having to work at corporate is wearing my the fuck down. I cannot stand the two posers who are in charge of me. ugh.

1. It is Tuesday. Can it be Friday now? I am exhausted after two days of work.

2. I'm re-reading Anne of the Island, and there's letter from Davy wherein he mentions someone going to the 'silem' because said person thinks they have a snake inside of them. My immediate reaction was to ponder Stargate fusions. *embarrassed*

3. I have watched Doctor Who (Hide), and I really liked it, I just don't feel like I have anything to say. (ok, other than that I really do think the episodes are too short. I feel like only a third of any given story gets told, and I find it frustrating)

4. I probably have more thoughts on Orphan Black.

5. Motive needs to come back off hiatus, I am watching 200 Cigarettes and pretending Lucy is Angie. This is sad.

6. I want a multi-era (starting with One) Doctor Who fanvid to Adam Lambert's 'For Your Entertainment' focusing on the mental and physical toll of traveling with the Doctor. Because I'm sick like that.

1. Yesterday was new Who day, but I also watched all the things and stuff. Now I've got nothing left to do, so I feel at loose ends (I even did laundry last weekend, so that's sorted)

2. I dreamt in Ponds, weeping Angels, River Song, the Motive detectives (searching for/investigating missing Ponds), Clara, Eleven, and shenanigans.

3. Orphan Black started last night, and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to next week, as it hits a lot of my buttons. I really like the lead, plus, canon gay.

4. I'm really enjoying Motive, too. ANGIE FLYNN FOREVER. Also, Oscar is entertaining and Dr. Betty is hot. Also also, Angie and Betty are totally having it off, or did once and now they're just good friends.

5. I'm current on Beauty and the Beast, and while I think of things to talk about while watching, afterwards I... don't remember them. I will say that I'm glad Cat/Vincent wasn't dragged out for a billion seasons, but I also don't ship it or find it all that interesting. It doesn't help that they keep having basically the same damn conversation every. single. episode. Not to mention twice in one of the episodes. And TESS. sigh. Meanwhile, Sendhil Ramamurthy showed up shirtless as a new player. Fun.

6. I know I have Bomb Girls, Lost Girl and Scandal to catch up on, but I just... Idk. Not in the mood I guess.

7. I watched the first episode of Red Widow, but didn't finish it. I'm sort of getting tired of female characters who are too stupid to know about the financial details of their lives. This is fucking 2013, for fuck's sake. Also, getting tired of "woman is shallow and can't do anything, has to learn business from the ground up" storylines. (and unsurprisingly, Jaime Ray Newman is her sister. So, no femslash potential)

8. Deception sounds interesting, but hit my embarrassment squick bigtime, so I couldn't even get more than twenty minutes in before stopping.

9. I tried to watch Revolution, and just. the premise is just too stupid. I couldn't stand it, and none of the characters were interesting enough in twenty minutes to make me want to continue watching it (contrast it with Motive where I was hooked by Angie and Oscar and Betty, even though the first episode is not that great. Or Beauty and the Beast which is silly, but compelling).
