Do government employees get road rash from dragging their butts so hard?

How did we create such an oppositional defiant environment?

Mit die schönsten Szenen von #PennyDreadful: wenn Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) und die Kreatur (Rory Kinnear) sich gegenseitig mit Lyrik trösten. Hier z.B. #JohnClare, der ›verrückte‹ Provinz-Poet, der auch in »Jerusalem« von #AlanMoore eine wichtige Nebenrolle spielt.

@everything I loved #EvaGreen in #PennyDreadful. Great series.

In all the discussion and discourse about #Frankenstien, I feel bad that nothing is said about the #PennyDreadful inclusion. Yes, Victor and the creature are part of a monster mash, and intersecting with other characters. BUT, it is still an interesting interpretation of Mary's work.

Esp with the interpretation of "the bride". With a history before death, and a direction after.

As much as I'd like to I haven't been able to catch the new Frankenstein movie in the theater, so I'm comforting myself by rewatching Penny Dreadful. Rory Kinnear's portrayal of the "Monster" is a fav of mine. And I just love the whole series.

I've always been intrigued by the idea of the series "Penny Dreadful", but we never had a streaming service that carried it. I knew it was vaguely in the neighborhood of Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics, Victorian Steampunk Mysticism and the like. Happily, I noticed that we did finally have a confluence of subscriptions and "Penny Dreadful" so I started watching. What I did not realize was just how extraordinarily saucy it was! Goodness! Copious, gratuitous quantities of nudity, swearing, and gore! Yet I am still watching!

Finally started (re-)watching #PennyDreadful (I only watched 1st season before I think) and hello Reeve Carney (playing Dorian Grey)

This morning they were chasing each other around like maniacs, each trying desperately to kick the other’s ass.

Now?

In unrelated news, I mentioned earlier that I finished Star Wars: The Bad Batch this morning. Last night I finished Penny Dreadful. The night before I finished Snowpiercer. I’m halfway through season eight of The X-Files. Last night I started season two of Extraordinary. New episodes of Star Trek Discovery come out on Thursdays so there will be a new one tomorrow. I started watching Baby Reindeer on Netflix because I heard it was excellent. I’m halfway through and I think it’s good… maybe? It’s really tough to watch though. By design, I think. I also started re-watching The Last of Us and speaking of tough to watch. It is fantastic but gut wrenching even on the second view.

I feel like I am running out of shows to obsess over. Star Wars: Tales of the Empire comes out on Saturday. The new season of Doctor Who kicks off one week later. Maybe I should get back to Torchwood and Pennyworth again. I don’t know why I stopped watching those shows, but it has been a while. I guess I’ll just have to poke around Netflix and Hulu and find a couple more shows. This is the golden age of television, after all.

My favorite series are #Hannibal, #Deadwood, #Justified and I remember liking #PennyDreadful too. See any pattern?
What are yours?

I am not counting science fiction this time, so no #StarTrek.

There are so many good Science Fiction shows on AppleTV+. It’s a little crazy. Severance, For All Mankind, Silo, Foundation, Invasion. They are all killer shows. The latest is Constellation, which is weirding me out like mad. There will be eight episodes in this first season. Episode Seven was released today.

So there I was, trying to watch the new episode while sitting up in bed. Suddenly, without warning or provocation, the video started lagging. It went from, huh? to bad to worse quickly. I closed the app and opened it again. When it launched the episode it crashed. I tried again. It wouldn’t launch the episode at all.

I did what The IT Crowd always said to do, I turned my computer off and on again. Reboot city, population me. Did it work? Nope. When the episode tried to launch, the AppleTV+ app crashed. Over and over again.

Shit.

I tried to outsmart it. I know, thought me, I’ll watch something else on another app for a while. That will make AppleTV+ jealous so that it will work for me the next time I try it.

Success. Five minutes or so of Penny Dreadful season two episode five was all it took to guilt AppleTV+ into working again. I was able to finish the new episode of Constellation.

Don’t be a jerk, AppleTV+. I needs me my Sci Fi.

We are in our second week or having to come into the office twice per week instead of once. It’s Monday so here I am. At my desk. In the office. Monday feels like a really crappy day to come in, but I need to pick a day to go along with our usual Wednesdays and I don’t want to come in two days in a row and Monday just feels better than Friday so I’m here on Monday. I did Friday last week and the morning commute was all right both days. Friday had the benefit of having far, far fewer people around. Monday has the benefit of getting the second day out of the way really fast. I think we’ll stick with Mondays for now.

My step daughter is flying home tomorrow afternoon. I took the afternoon off so I can get her at the airport. I am thankful to have as much personal time available to me so that I can do stuff like this. It’s a good thing and it makes me happy.

I took a pic this morning. Nothing special but it’s a photo a day challenge kinda thing.

I need a haircut. Did I mention that? Do you care? No? That’s okay. I need a haircut anyway. Just sharing, or maybe just over sharing.

What else… I don’t know. I have a meeting in half an hour. That’s fun, right?

I watched the third episode of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (aka the Rick and Michonne show). It’s the weakest of the three so far (there are three more coming this season), but it was still pretty good. I am pleased with the season to this point but I am hoping the quality goes back up starting next week. No spoilers. If you like The Walking Dead, you should be watching. That is all.

Jen and I have been watching Star Trek: Lower Decks. I started watching Penny Dreadful the other day. I’m still plowing through The X-Files. I watched the first movie after finishing season five. Tomorrow morning I’ll start season six. I’m getting near to the point where Mulder leaves and that’s going to make it hard to power through. I’ll stick with it though. I promise.

Okay, back to work with you, Robert.

I’m a fan of Gothic literature and Penny Dreadfuls. I sometimes see myself as Frankenstein’s monster, and I think Frankenstein is very relevant to ethical conversations about AI. The specifics of that are too personal for me to go into at the moment; however, I would say there is something especially abhorrent about creating life just for it to suffer or creating life, calling it monstrous, and disregarding it. The original Frankenstein story started with an epigraph from John Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” which is especially relevant today. My mother is a narcissist and admitted that I was allowed to be born to satisfy her narcissism. So, there is something that disturbs me about something being created in the image and glorification of its creator. While I have a reputation for being a narcissist, I have nothing on my mother.

Although I am known as a vampire, vampiric archetypes and tropes tie more into existential themes and nihilistic views. If people want insight into who I am as a person, why I behave the way that I do, and my philosophies, I recommend:

The Picture of Dorian Gray: An Annotated, Uncensored Edition
The Black Cat

The older I get, the more blunted my antisocial and hedonistic edge becomes. Humanity is a social species where we evolved to be cooperative, so selfish hedonism leads to perdition and self-destruction. The more I come face to face with what true evil looks like, the less I idealize it, I suppose.

Penny dreadful: Dorian gray

Character of the Day: Brona Croft
The LezWatch.TV character of the day is Brona Croft from Penny Dreadful - #LWTVcotD #PennyDreadful - https://lezwatchtv.com/character/brona-croft/

While watching #AttackTheBlock I recognized #LukeTreadaway but couldn't place him. Later I went through everything he filmed, but nothing rang a bell. Eventually I learned that he is the twin brother of actor #HarryTreadaway, whom I'd watched in #PennyDreadful as Victor Frankenstein.

Today sharing some art from my comic series The Trials and Tribulations of Miss Tilney. It's about a young lady who wants to be a reporter in London but it seems like London is against that.

I did this like a penny dreadful so there is an actual written penny dreadful in the back of the first 3 issues.
