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.

23-VIII-2008 or Seen On T-shirt
This is not a great day for writing for me, as the loyal readers may or may not remember. I leave you with this phrase I saw on a t-shirt today: Life is like a jalapeno pepper. What you do today can burn your ass tomorrow. Go »

Man, I feel like I never really post anything anymore. :( Fortunately (or unfortunately) for you, the wife is out of town (as usual), so I'm going to try to post something. Not that I really have anything to say.. Go »
