“Thailand has become the world centre of penis reattachment surgery…”
— latest news from Bangkok (no, really)Doctor Seuss
I had better things to do than watch Doctor Who this weekend, mostly involving cooking with my sister (homemade pizza, Guinness beef stew, stuffing w/gravy, homemade pizza, two kinds of cookies, tangzhong dinner rolls, Japanese curry, homemade pizza).
Yes, she really, really likes my current pizza recipe. Leftover stuffing and Cheesecake Factory bread got combined with some Boar’s Head teriyaki chicken into Irish-style chicken & stuffing sandwiches, another of her favorite things.
Anyway, there was no trailer last week for this episode, so I was going into it cold. Just watched it, and y’know what? I’m still cold.
“But now,” says the Doctor, “now that you’re here,
the word of the Morax seems perfectly clear.
Unless they hire writers who know how to plot,
nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
I’ll grant them this: if you strip away the lecturing and the SJ rubbish, there’s the germ of a cheesy Seventies DW episode in there somewhere.
DanMachi spoiler...
As I mentioned a while back, the mobile game for the Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon? franchise is chock full of story, much of it written by the original novelist, so it’s arguably canon. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the recent Attack on Titan crossover, but the current Christmas story includes a very interesting internal monologue that provides information on the popular mystery, WTF is Syr, really?.
Frantically chasing after a kidnapped little girl, Syr thinks to herself:
"I felt a great disturbance in the Pixiv..."
“…as if dozens of fan-artists were feeling trolled AF after the latest episode of Zombieland Saga…”
“…and dozens more found new inspiration…”
This is her shocked face. Not to be confused with Sarah Hoyt’s.
Avoid staffs felling out!
Every once in a while, Chinese companies selling direct on Amazon manage to amuse me. Sometimes it’s with their Boggle-dice fly-by-night company names, but usually it’s their “missed it by that much” English…
“The cover will protect your stuffs from rain or dust, you can easily remove it when you don’t wanna use the cover.”
Interestingly, the body copy further down is all much cleaner English, from a company claiming to have been founded in San Jose. So there’s a bit of a disconnect here.

What, I haven’t done one of these since September? And the “hc” folder’s filling up again? Well, I can fix that!
Doctor Good news, Bad news...
The good news is that last week’s trailer was wrong:
not only was Amazon Prime not the villain, but everything bad was caused by the unprincipled actions of a terrorist luddite in a labor dispute over automation taking jobs, or as we call them, “A Typical Leftist”. Corporate management might not be very bright, but they weren’t eeeevil.
The bad news is that that was all of the good news.
Also, no trailer for next week, just a warningpromise that there
are only three more episodes (and no Christmas episode).
And, yes, she’s thrusting with the sonic again…
“Oh, the pointing again! They’re screwdrivers! What are you going to do, assemble a cabinet at them?”
