Working my way through The Giggle's novel, and I love that The Toymaker is there. In the narrative. As the fucking narrator.

He even does the eye emoji on a page. I hate him. I love him. He's a complete bitch and I love when the villain is like that in this campy show.

I think he's the one calling himself handsome and such, but I still think some of that is the Doctor. Considering that the Toymaker only pops up a few times to make comments, mostly at the Doctor's expense. And to sometimes put puzzles into chapters. Like, some of the chapters are literally just a puzzle.

I love this ridiculous series, what the fuck am I reading?

If you're struggling with the cost of living right now (reasonable), this is your PSA to...

Google universities/colleges near you.

If you can't get out to more than one, look up which one has the highest tuition.

Look-up when the graduation date is

Drive neighborhoods near the university the week before graduation

So much stuff gets left out on the curb. Wealthy college students tend to prioritize convenience over money, so instead of carefully reselling their perfectly good stuff, they frequently give it away or put it out with the trash because that's easier than moving, reselling, or donating. Take advantage of this.

I furnished pretty much my entire apartment from college giveaways and yardsales.

What I got for free:

Mattress and box springs

2 10 ft area rugs

The massive 9-drawer chest (that has a label on the back that it was custom-made and shipped across the country) that my TV sits on.

Two 13 x 2 ft raised garden beds

My desk - just sanded it down and refinished it.

Three short stools

An organizer rack

Watering can

Tommy Bahama outdoor cooler (retails for $350)

Chairs

Shelves

What I got for cheap:

Two futons for $50

Custom coffee table with storage for $25

Three tall stools for $30

Never underestimate the value of transferable skills.

In high school, I ran small poker ring for a while.

Decades later, as I pack orders -- keeping careful count greeting cards and envelopes to ensure I ship what was bought -- I'm remembering old tricks, such as specific techniques to quickly count, to layer things to efficiently draw back into a neat pile.

Every 45 seconds saved cuts a 6-hour packing shift to a 5-hour shift.

I can use that time to pack more orders

or make art or

just be a weird person who ran a poker ring in high school and now sells Halloween greeting cards

and is always up to some antic

or

other

(laugh)

to me, the funniest thing about “that’s rough buddy” isn’t the fact that sokka says something patently insane with zero context seemingly out of nowhere, or the fact that zuko clearly doesn’t know how to respond. it’s the completely incorrect use of the word “buddy.” zuko would obviously like to be friends with sokka, but sokka is not, in fact, his friend. this is the most time they’ve ever spent together, and it’s because zuko invited himself to tag along on sokka’s suicide mission. at this point in the episode, sokka still hates this guy, perhaps less than he did a week ago, but he still hates him enough that he didn’t bother forcing zuko to stay home, which means he still didn’t really care whether or not zuko lives or dies. which, considering that he had tried to kill zuko multiple times in the past, is not all that surprising. this entire episode is essentially just zuko forcing his friendship onto sokka while sokka is legitimately too depressed to care. so when zuko calls sokka “buddy,” there’s a spirit of dogged optimism characterizing that epithet, because in no possible realm would sokka consider zuko his buddy at this point in the episode. and that’s something we miss when noting the iconicness of this exchange, simply because, by the end of this episode, they are buddies, so in our minds looking back on these lines, the implication of friendship doesn’t feel out of place at all. and really, it isn’t out of place, but only because zuko’s tenacity and determination (in this instance, his determination to befriend sokka) has always hugely outweighed his ability to read the room.

whenever u are playing a video game and u think “this sucks. why wouldn’t this npc trust my character completely? why would they criticise their decisions when my character made the best choice available to them? why would they withhold information from my character and act according to their own agenda instead of trusting them?” that’s because it’s YOUR job to make a character who kind of sucks. and it’s not the game’s fault you didn’t do that

“This is a big ass speech. This is a big ass stop the show, this is the moral framework of the entire five years you’ve seen. Nate Ford justifies 77 episodes of Leverage in this speech, cause you know what? It is the last goddamn episode, you’re gonna know why we made the show. We didn’t make the show cause we thought it was clever or cute or fun. I always say this, no show succeeds unless somebody loves it and you know what, everybody loves this show and to me, what Nate’s saying here is important enough to say out loud. No one should be allowed to cheat and get away with it.” - John Rogers, The Long Goodbye Job DVD Commentary
