Things I Learned From the People's Choice Awards 2018
by Aaron Shurtleff on November 12, 2018
Just looking over the results, and I saw a few things that I wanted to comment/ask about. Feel free to clarify and/or put in your new revelations! :)
1) What the heck is Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments and why am I just hearing about this??
2) Orange is the New Black is a comedy?? Did something change (as I haven't watched an episode recently), or is that considered comedy? Serious question.

1) It's another Harry Potter wannabe about a teen who discovers a secret magic underworld and must join a fight. At least it's not about a dystopia and/or a persecution of teens; we have enough of those.
2) Studios can choose the categories when they submit their shows for nomination, and thus game the system. It's been controversial for a while, in part because so many shows these days blur the line between comedy and drama. OITNB switches gears between them pretty often, but (imho) it has become more of a drama in its latter years.

17-IV-2008 or Only To Me Can This Happen...
I have the worst funny story to tell, but I'm going to put in some filler first, so that you can't read the beginning from the main page, so if you want to read just that part, skip down a bit. I'll put in some funky asterisks (asteriski?) when the story starts. Go »22-XII-2008 or I am dumb.
Funny story (only it's not)! My wife was running in a 5K race for the inaugural magicjack.com Saint Petersburg Bowl (I love those corporate tie-ins!), Go »17-VIII-2006 or I am a little japanese girl!
For once, I'm going to hold off the titular topic until later in the post. Titular...sounds dirty, but it's not. Go »4-VI-2008 or I want to write, but I must sleep
As the title states. Tired. Confused. Go »16-IX-2009 or Behind The Scenes (GE)
For those who are not aware, my first character in Gothic Earth is retiring. I believe that Scott is going to keep him around to use for his own undoubtedly nefarious purposes, but essentially, I am done with him. There were many reasons behind it, but there was just a single overriding reason above all others: I found myself unwilling to continue with him. Go »
