Why, you might just as well say, oh, don't fight people

I think it is actually unreasonable that I was waiting at the pharmacy and lab for the duration of the entire first act of the Met Opera broadcast of Les contes d'Hoffmann, but I was cheered by the sign which greeted me when I went for groceries afterward.



spatch and I fell into Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (2024–) and while of course I am charmed by Jude Law as a morally ambiguous Force-user with an obviously compelling backstory, I am really enjoying Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the twelve-year-old slightly disaster captain we keep thinking of as "miniature Claudia Christian."

"miniature Claudia Christian."

I am totally onboard for this! All SF is better with extra Ivanova.

The source is obnoxious about letting the photo be displayed offsite and I was looking for one where you can properly see her braid, but here is Fern on her home planet, right before the story kicks into gear. She is one of the four young protagonists and the most interesting to me, see slightly disaster.

I'm looking forward to Skeleton Crew!!

We're just hoping it sticks the landing!

(We have no reason to think it won't, it's been very well-constructed so far, in the old-fashioned style of a self-contained plot per episode as well as the accumulating narrative of the series, I just like it so much that I worry! It has practical effects and worldbuilding for fun.)

Awww, Minnie May Barry is in space! (Because time, Anne with an E was actually years ago now and the actress is only two months younger than Eli?? Yeesh.)

Thank you for the earworm.

You're welcome. The photo went to spatch entitled "Flanders and Ham!" which was unfair to Swann and his ability to steal the stage just by corpsing.

Add me to the list of people who are swayed by the concept of Miniature Claudia Christian.

I like the character and the young actor a lot.

Ahahaha, that is an amazing sign--and were you able to listen to that first act during your wait? I love Tales of Hoffmann.

Alas, I had to stop listening while waiting at the lab and pharmacy, but fortunately the opera was still going when I got back in the car.

speaking of food, have you ever been to https://www.lehr.haus/ ? I'd be curious what you think

[sovay]

I have not been to Lehrhaus because I am not eating in restaurants for the time being, but I saw when they opened and I have heard good things from people who have been.

[thomasyan]

sorry about that. I did see that you've been sticking to takeout and should have phrased my question accordingly.
