I love the whole Spartacus and I found the show well done. :)
Well you might want to take a pass on the 'Season 0' part of the blueray. I watched those episodes first and they weren't nearly as good as the ones from 'Season 1'. Though the same cheeziness is present, it's within tolerable limits. If I wasn't such a big fan of battle scenes I wouldn't have given it a chance. Though come to think of it, the Season 0 does seem to be aimed more at a female audience, so maybe you'll like it. Just brace yourself for extra Cheeze. ;D

Actually, I saw all of the Spartacus series in it's entirely and I enjoyed it. Personally, I did not find it cheesy due to it being based on what happen before and during the Third Servile war. I would say that it is nice sword and sand epic overall. I enjoyed Spartacus: War of the Dammed the most because i knew that everyone died in the end but they still fought wonderfully. Now, it does not compare to Rome (2005) but it is still great as television. :)

Yes. Too bad they didn't get another season and had to rush the ending.
I started watching "Black Sails" only when Ray Stevenson appeared as Black Beard.

I rewatched the series a while back and was surprised that the ending wasn't how I'd remembered. I thought that [Spoilers] Vorenus was strongly implied to have survived and that Pullo was lying to Octavian [Spoilers]. It seemed much less ambiguous when I saw it again.

Late night at my straight job, on account of a horse going into labor. Everyone else is smiles all around. Yeah, because they’re not the ones who had to reach up in there. The owners of the horse were present, but they did absolutely nothing. At least they knew to stay the hell out of the way. Problem is, they brought their kid - who was absolute ecstatic about seeing a newborn horse, but absolutely horrified at seeing the process of it being delivered. Sorry, kid… the cartoons where the stork flies in and drops off a bundle of joy… they lied to you.
I grew up on a farm… this is nothing new to me. I feel like I can’t recall signing up for this when I took this job, though. And the owners brought champagne to celebrate and insisted everyone have some. They’re longtime clients and major donors to the riding program, so it would be a huge faux pas for me to say no. So I can’t even sleep in my own bed tonight, because I can’t handle alcohol for shit, so I won’t be driving home.
We used to have this pretty eccentric custie who’d introduce himself by kissing your hand. And I’d always think to myself, “If only you knew where that thing has been…”.
I need to quit fucking around on my phone and get this filly washed off so I can get some sleep.

Why don't you foster a kitten or kittens? If it works out, you can keep doing it and you'll always have a tiny cat.

I wish I could post a worldwide PSA to men: No to baby oil as lube! While baby oil can be good for your solo sessions, it does NOT make great lube for sex and going inside the vagina. It irritates and burns the hell out of our vaginas and can cause yeast infections. Not to mention it's a bitch to try to rinse baby oil out of our vaginas. Please save it for your self-love time only.
Signed,

Yep, so glad they finally green lit the movie.
I checked and they actually shot the whole series in Southern CA. I was impressed- they got the look right without having to shoot on location in dirty azz South Dakota.
The tone of the series is right on- a lawless miner's camp really is the Devil's playground, and the only order available is doled out by the meanest dogs in the bunch.
Believe it or not at the time Montana was a nicer place compared to Black Hills South Dakota. Anyone road tripping through MT can still see the traces of Wild West influence on the state. (I am saying this b/c the "Hero" of "Deadwood" is from the Montana Territories. He's the moral center of the story.)

I hope Garret Dillahunt has at least one role in this. He got to play opposite Oliphant again in "Justified" and was great. He's such a good villain (he played a Terminator!), but maybe he could be a good guy this time.
Also, I want to see Swearengen's fate. I've forbidden myself from reading historical spoilers since the movie became a possibility, but I recall a lot of mystery surrounding his demise.

News you can use if you hit up Good Will SecondHand stores-
The company policy is to base pricing on online prices for items...which explains the price increases on items in the past several years.
Some stores do select discounts on certain days so you need to learn those in order to lower your overall bill if you shop there.
Non taxed/lower priced options for secondhand shopping - flea markets/"open air markets" ...FaceBook sales groups, yard sales, and online sales sites. (Read the fine print on auction sites.)

Goodness. Wish me luck.
The ex wants to meet to discuss some things.
I had him on a no contact plan of anything that wasn't dog custody related.
He has stuck to the boundary of not coming here EVER and giving me 24-48 hours notice for anything non-emergency. He has followed my rules 100%.
It's been almost 3 months now since the " I am thinking of moving out " convo and two months or so that he's been moved out.
I know better than to see him on a day when I have important things today. It's unlikely he can derail my day today ( art project , gallery stroll , get hair done ). It's a GREAT day I have planned. I don't want him putting me in a bad mood.

Hmm ...I'm not sure if you can make a listing via computer, but most of the site's functionality is available to you on the computer. I've actually had much more luck selling on an app called Mercari. Poshmark is a lot of fluff (you get thousands of followers who don't buy anything, and tons of shares that don't mean anything either) but Mercari you actually get genuine buyers.

News you can use if you hit up Good Will SecondHand stores-
Used to love going to Goodwill; probably stopped in once or twice a week for a few years. Found some great bargains- nice shirts for three bucks- and all kinds of practical things. Lots of fun stuff, too. But then the prices started going up while the quality went down. I heard people grumbling about this every time I went in. I remember a 2/3 filled spindle of CD-Rs selling for $30 when Staples sold them for $20.
Just yesterday, I stopped by for the first time in ages. It was like a really bad yard sale. Who needs half of a sprinkler or a copy of "AOL for Dummies"?

Do any of you get sex work inquiries from your normal personal online dating profile ?
I imagine it MUST happen to other people . I just find it somewhat amusing. There are a couple I'm tempted by ( a couple " shopping " date offers ).
The latest is looking for dominance ( I'm a natural at it ) and said he can be very generous. Hmmmm
I'm just not sure given that I put my real first name on there. I guess I'll just discuss in person only if these go anywhere ( don't want any sort of paper record attached to my real dating profile ).
I'm assuming it's not the cops ( the website I'm on for dating is so tame .... surely they would go to another site ? ).

I think the silver lining is GW is pushing people towards supporting other thrift shops. A lot of local Non Profits start shops (I've hit up a tons of them) ...They often don't have wacked out pricing as they can't afford to pay someone to check prices against Internet prices. & Some sell by lot/bin.
Our local GW is overpriced now but it still gets picked clean. It's kind of a weird local phenomenon...

Random thought. I wonder if anybody ever walked down the aisle to "Closer" by NIN. Yeah, I realize it would have to be an "alternative" type of church who would allow such a song to play. This cracks me up thinking about it and no, I'm not getting married, probably ever. After all I do have a friend who recently walked down the aisle to "The Hey Song". I thought that was an odd choice of song but I know there has to be some freakier people out there.
