tropiavera* The last two episodes of New Girl have been absolutely delightful. I can't believe how much I love that show. NOTE: IT IS A LOT, is how much.
* Speaking of things I never thought I'd like: I just finished my second week of Bikram yoga and ohhhh my goodness. I'm totally one of those people now, you guys, I'm sorry, but it's so amazing. After the first session my shoulders hurt for like two days, but they are so much looser now! I still look like I've been through some horrible botched surgery or something in comparison to everyone else during the opening breathing poses, but I'll take what I can get.
(Honestly, during the first session when they tell you to put your hands under your chin and lift your elbows, I started off like, yup, elbows just below the ears, that's how high they go, and I looked over at K in the mirror and his arms were parallel with his head and we both stared at each other in the mirror with twin expressions of What the fuck is up with your arms??? I mean, he has trick elbows, but I'm also broken.)
* I just started reading Assassination Vacation, by Sarah Vowell, and it's really funny, you guys. Way funnier than a book about, uh, presidential assassinations has any right to be. It starts off with an anecdote about her seeing the musical "Assassins" while staying in a quaint New England B&B and goes from there. I can also remember being That Person, creeping people out with how much you love "Assassins," but it's so good, you guys. It's Sondheim! It's about alienation and violence and your relationship with the state! I've never actually seen it performed, but I DO have a recording of it with Victor Garber as John Wilkes Booth.
* How about Sunday's Mad Men, eh?? Jesus H. I haven't found a review of it that expressed adequately how ballsy I found it, but I suppose that's not new either.
