I've Got My Hands Up So Take Your Aim

Last week I finally got my new DVD player hooked up so I could resume my Hulu and Netflix addiction. I started out by watching all of Season 3 of The Profit, which is one of my favorite new shows. IDEK, but I have a crush on Marcus. I especially love when he calls the owners out on being shitty, and he's all "I'm so incredibly mad right now," in the calmest of voices LOL. I fell onto The Profit by falling onto Shark Tank first then seeing a zillion adds for The Profit. I started DVRing it because they were handling a Chicago food truck, which seemed super interesting. So yeah, apparently I'm all about Shark Tank now, too.

Then I tried Hulu's original Difficult People. I only watched one episode and thought it was too much, just far too obnoxious. Which, is probably saying a lot for someone who adores Ricky Gervais, Jon Taffer, and Gordon Ramsey. But really, it was just too much without the pay off of being that funny. So then I wandered around the other Hulu originals and saw Casual, which I knew had just received a Golden Globe nom. I love Michaela Watson from other stuff I've seen her in, so I gave it a shot. I fell for it immediately and yet over time came to absolutely freaking hate the daughter. She is The Worst Human Being on That Show. Which says a lot, because they're all pretty terrible ... and yet so many roles reverse throughout the season that I'm not sure I like any of them anymore.

And finally, I stayed up until 530am on Saturday/Sunday to watch Netlifx's Making a Murder, which was absolutely insane. I had a feeling I'd love it no matter what, just because ... hello? Crime documentary about the wrongfully accused? That's pretty much my bread and butter ... but man, this story. This family. These attorneys. There are so many winners and losers, and losers who are really the winners of the story, and vice versa. It's incredible and great storytelling. I highly recommend if you were into Serial or The Jinx at all.

Ugh, I had this whole post typed up about drama in my family, just to get it out, then I deleted because who really cares about that? LOL

The last week or so have been crazy with the family, with my parents' house being flooded in last week's torrential downpour across the Chicago suburbs, work, trying to write my Big Bang, and catching up on tons of TV.

Speaking of TV, I have anger with The Following and Hannibal and Hemlock Grove ( Spoilers ahoy )

I have nothing else to report except my Big Bang is finally up to 12K, not including the scene that may or may not have lost when transferring the file between computers D: Someone remind me why I signed up when I DECLARED last year I would not do this again?

And my kitters are getting bigger and bigger, and cuter and cuter. (I may have planted that mouse but he didn't seem to mind)
