fall season swinging into action

So the boyfriend's uni department has a 3D printer which he got introduced to and taught how to use last week. "So if you ever think of anything you need from that, let me know," he said excitedly. "I don't even have to ask permission!"

And I'm sitting here going, look, I'm still amazed by and learning to reap the benefits of DVR, okay? After years in college and law school without a TV (except for that summer and semester I was subletting), I didn't even have TV, much less cable. Now there's cable! Now there's things I want to watch on TV -- and I can record it to watch later if I miss it! Maybe the indication of how old I'm getting is what a revelation technology that's ten years into common use is to me. Amazing, though.

(We can now 3D print organs. That is absolutely mind-boggling.)



Speaking of TV, though, Fresh Off the Boat Season 2 premiers tomorrow night! And I'm excited for the Huangs, particularly, Jessica, back on my TV. Other shows I'm looking forward to: Elementary of course (I dream that we'll get Moriarty again this season) and Galavant for the mid-season break. I'm so excited that Galavant was unexpectedly renewed. Fairy tale pastiches with singing! Songs with clever lyrics! Everything I love. That soundtrack remains glorious.

Preseason hockey back in session today, with Canes @ Caps and me bemoaning the fact I'm no longer in DC, because otherwise i would be there at the Verizon Center for this game for sure. NFL continues apace and the Panthers, mediocre as they are, are probably my least awful team right now. Oh Liverpool. Oh Canes.

I promise a post about books I've been reading soon. I've been reading so much. Libraries! Glorious.

I definitely watched all of Galavant S1 in like, one night with a friend in Philly, and I have ZERO REGRETS ABOUT THIS CHOICE.

Also, Isabella is the cutest. <333

omg!! I'm so glad you finally watched it because it's GLORIOUS. It's so short, so easy to marathon quickly, and so catchy and cute and funny and everyone is great, from the villains to random cameos. :DD I love Isabella but I want her to be able to do more in S2! Once they got to the castle I felt like she didn't get to be nearly as interesting as before.

I totally have the soundtrack and it is fabulous.
