152 insights into my soul

Wow, its been a while since I've posted. Work has been keeping me busy, plus all the TV and video games and Transformers collecting. I haven't even posted about going up to New York for the holidays. Though it was pretty uneventful. Didn't go into the city or see a show for some reason. Pops was sick so didn't get to see any movies either. Between that and 7500centfish not even being around for NYE, ended up having New Year's at the Parentals. Delicious variety of food though.

Everyone was around for Christmas, usually one of the cousins has a shift or something. And durlxnemesis's gf was visiting from Italy, so the fam got to finally meet her.

But yeah, after getting back to the ATL, just been crazy busy at work- having to interview and hire a couple of new people for my team, writing a proposal, plus with the Servicenow onboarding and Rich move out looming, have a bunch of stuff to do for that.

TV commentary:

CAOS- The weirdest thing about this season of Sabrina was all the musical numbers. Not that I have a problem with that, it just seemed out of nowhere. Definitely interesting to see where they're going with this. ( spoiler cut )

Doctor Who- Definitely curious what's going on this season! ( spoiler cut )

Stumptown- Nice! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Criminal Minds- Oh, what a twist! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Drunk History- Is it me, or was there something strangely hot about Aubrey Plaza and Alia Shawkat playing Burr and Hamilton, respectively?

Frequency- Is it me, or is Daniel kinda out his mind? ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

So, this is an interesting quiz- choosing what a self-driving car should do depending on different scenarios.

So the scenarios change each time. Like the first time I took it, it was just the barrier or the crosswalk. The second time through I got questions where its people crossing illegally vs legally. Which at first I was, well, go down the path where the car has the right of way according to the light. But then there were questions where it was criminals or animals crossing legally vs like children or pregnant ladies crossing illegally.

So that did cause the evaluation preferences at the end to fluctuate. Like the first couple times through, I showed a preference for traffic law over the average, like why should the car swerve and kill its occupants for someone who shouldn't have been in the street in the first place? But another time I tried, the scenarios I got ended up having me choose to save the people crossing illegally more often than previous due to their makeup. Like a bunch of criminals in the car vs kids. Of course, I wish it was more granular. Are these "criminals" in the middle of a crime, or are they people with extensive criminal records (or worse, people that "look" like criminals) but aren't currently committing a crime?

So far my most consistent pick throughout is a preference of humans vs animals.

TV commentary:

Criminal Minds- Heartbreaking ep. And interesting, given what I was just talking about above. ( spoiler cut )

Frequency- Haven't seen this yet, but one of the biggest changes from the movie is that the characters are changed from Mets fans to Yankees fans. Of course, I guess since the timeline was also moved up from 1969/1999 to 1996/2016, they couldn't do the whole son telling the dad about the 69 World Series.

Arrow- Heh, I thought they were caught up from the past? ( spoiler cut )

Okay, so last week, it blew my mind that Chris Pine was the son of the sarge from CHiPs. Now today my mind is even more blown that Amber Stevens (Rossi's daughter on Criminal Minds/Ice Cube's daughter on 22 Jump St. Or Ashleigh for you Greek fans) is freaking Shadoe Stevens' daughter. Like yes they have the same last name, but like Chris and Robert Pine where I would never think of her and Shadoe at the same time and thus not think about how they have the same last name, additionally Shadoe is a white dude and Amber is mixed. I mean, I assumed one of her parents was caucasian, I just didn't expect that parent to be Shadoe Stevens of Hollywood Squares fame.
