Grant Gustin's Flash is the definitive live action Flash.
Do I still yet yearn for THE definitive live action Flash?
Maybe.
But GG is fine. Needs a little more snark, though.
Minor quip.

Had a good talk with my sisters. They reminded me of the social norms I tend to forget & move on from my ex & her sister.
I'm merely an acquaintance & nothing more. I have to accept that.
I will.
Also need to make more changes in my life. I'm not happy. I'm tired of being miserable.

I gotta be the stupidest man alive.
Loosing sleep & whatnot over my ex's sister.
I know there's absolutely no chance. She's made that perfectly clear.
I just wanna be friends, but I doubt that'll happen too.
I need to get over this. But I guess I'm so lonely that my feelings have nowhere else to go.

2 days here & there. Even the long weekend that just passed wasn't enough. I need a good 2 wks off to fully heal & mentally check out.
Can't wait for the new year so I can plan what to do on my time off.

Gotta admit.
The Mighty Nein on Prime is just as good if not better than The Legend of Vox Machina. At least so far.
The latest episode might be my favorite so far.
So far.

A 3 series deal. Secure her for a proper run so that the writers can dream up a great & fun story that perhaps spans the entire run.
I think Anjli's Doctor would work best with a single companion. Though an Amy/Rory situation would be entertaining.
We'll see.
Still plenty of time to speculate.

Just without the Tardis.
It doesn't hurt that Anjli already has a DW connection via The Sarah Jane Adventures.
I want more timeless child & fugitive Doctor arcs lol
I think Anjli's Doctor could at least tie up those loose ends in a satisfying way & move on to a proper adventure.
And have Anjli sign

Since a new Doctor is inevitably inevitable; I could've swore I saw YT show that planted the seed, I want to ring up my top choice for the next Doctor:
Anjli Mohindra
Especially her portrayal of Archie in The Lazarus Project.
The vibe. The style. The acting range. Anjli is already the Doctor.

Depression usually kicks into high gear on days like my bday, so big surprise, I woke up feeling more foul than usual. Rather than carry that into work, I called off.
Gonna relax. Enjoy some good food. Watch my fav shows/movies. Play some games.
SLEEP SOME MORE

Then go back to work tomorrow.

Went to restart Black Mirror on Netflix & saw that they removed a handful of episodes from most of the early seasons.
RW censorship on display.
Guess watching BM is outta the question.

Howard would've been beaten down on the regular for the creep that he was, early on.
Penny would've been completely put off by Leonard & Sheldon in ep1. End of show.
Raj, likely suicide from loneliness. Bernie would've had that 1 date w/Howard & maybe that 1 dinner, & who knows?
And no laugh track.

The Big Bang Theory deserves a lot of criticism for a show that ran for over a decade.
But,
It was consistently funny all the way till the end.
There were weak episodes, but nothing egregious (looking at you s9 of Scrubs).
Irl take on TBBT:
Sheldon would've been kicked to the curb in a heartbeat.

Snowstorm in Chicagoland. Staying in.
A parade of sirens in the past 30 minutes tells me that again, no one ever remembers how to drive in snow the 1st couple days.
I'll make a quick food run after the snow settles.
I need gloves.

Giving the Lazarus Project on Netflix a shot.
And wow.
Just packed to the brim with ideas. My brain is eating good.
3rd episode gotta be one of my favs of all time.
Archie!
Total Doctor Who vibe. The style, charisma & whimsy just makes Archie perfect as a possible Doctor.
Certainly got my vote.

Watching Rosa's greatest hits (Brooklyn 99) & I gotta admit, not sure if she's marriage material. She would certainly be memorable.
Honestly, Rosa is the kind of woman that YOU take HER name lol
She'd probably chew me up & spit me out without a 2nd thought.
I'd die a happy man.

Birthday next week. With the long weekend, thinking about finally checking out the anime store that's an hour away.
Maybe see if my niece wants to go, too.

Minor pet peeve: i really don't like it when actors play characters with the same name.
I don't want a Hank Azaria et Hank McCoy situation.
For example.

Immersion starting to fail while watching Supergirl bc the plot lines are starting to mirror irl a bit too much.
Specifically the whole maga shitstorm.
I want no part of that.
Might have to put Supergirl on hold. It's the weakest season to date. I might just skip to the next season.
Dunno...

& they've all done the same thing. Distance. At least till the heart mended. Then they came back, comfortable as friends.
But there's always that frustration. Of wondering what could've been. Yet accepting that being friends can be fulfilling in its own way.
Getting there, that's the hard part.

Of course, I turn on Supergirl & the 1st thing they show is SG trying to mend fences with another guy that professed his feelings for her.
And he's doing the natural thing guys do with a broken heart: putting some distance between him & SG.
Hell, every guy that fell for SG has had his heart broken.

Confessed my feelings & as expected, was rejected.
Still hurts.
A lot.
I want to cry, but I'm stubborn.
I still want to be friends with her, but how?
How the eff do I turn these feelings off?!
I'm completely miserable. I don't know what to do.

Somebody explodes or is ripped apart?
They can't be too gruesome since Stanger Things is more YA than anything.
If the 1st episode back doesn't have Simple Minds playing right out of the gate, I'd be shocked.
Shocked!

Unrequited love is a bitch.
I'm stressed out. It's hard to sleep. Appetite is down. Jealousy racks my brain all the time.
If I can't be her man, I want to be her friend. I'm trying to be.
Gosh. I haven't felt this way in decades. I'm miserable.

Boss is likeable. She's a more palatable version of J Jonah Jameson. And surprisingly she's the soul of the show. She'd hate to be called the Heart.
Allonsy!

I get it. They wanted to move on. So far, SG has at least 2 plot lines that could easily span a full season. Each.
I'm enjoying the ride so far. Supergirl is far from perfect, but Miss Benoist is so cute!
And she's getting better & better as the show moves along. The whole gang is cool. Even Kara's

Almost done with s1 of Supergirl. I'm into it.
The show has progressively gotten better in all areas as the episodes piled up.
Melissa Benoist truly can lead a show, but it's still early. SG is pretty light so far. The one big conflict i was worried about was deus ex machina'd. Bit disappointing.

Stopped "buying" digitally & began buying physical again, so I'm tempted to get 4k as much as possible. Anything in the past 30, especially 20yrs, seems ok with 4k. Anything older, I question the value. Does 4k improve or hurt the production?
Paying just to have 4k is wasting $$$

Kinda wondering if anyone ever practiced facial expressions in the mirror in order to make sure you knew which face is appropriate for any given situation?
Also practicing voice & body language.
Also looking up ways to decode body language to better fit in.
Etc

Be cool.
Do that for a series till the actual next Doctor arrives.
I just want to be surprised. I want them to ham it up. Have fun. Go crazy with their imagination.
Have past companions come back as the Doctor (the actors, not Martha for ex.).
I think I'm being impatient haha

Patiently (or at the least, impatiently) waiting for the speculation to begin about who will be the next Doctor.
I don't have a particular choice, but I do hope it's from left field. Unexpected.
Hell, if they do a Doctor Roulette where they have multiple Doctors do 2-3 episode arcs each, that'd
