I am a woman of many moods and each one has her own soundtrack.

Cat Fight

After 7.5 years of calm, my cats have had a falling out with giant, clumsy cat hissing and swatting at the other if it gets near. I don’t speak cat exactly, but I think this is an accurate translation:
Kato: Stop touching me. You always get your way and you ruin everything. Go away and get out of my room!
Spike: Your just jealous because I can jump higher and she likes me better.
Kato: I’m just big boned and you’re adopted.
Spike: So are you, Einstein.
Kato: Shut Up!
Me: Both of you go away!

True Detective S2

Ppppppfffffffttttttt. I really didn’t think the show deserved all the criticism until the finale. Random thoughts:
– No one is ever at that bar because they all died from the crappy depressing music.
– Fugly hair does not guarantee a good performance.
– Where is the Redwood forest that is 40 min from LA?
– That one dude is always the bad guy. Always. Jerk.
– I began the season thinking, “Is everyone an idiot?” and ended it with “Everyone is an idiot! Including me. “

SDCC Panels

I spent a couple days canning food and watching SDCC panels…like everyone I am sure. What I am most looking forward:

– Star Wars: The Force Awakens – my initial interest has nothing to do with Comic Con but it sure helps with the panel and shared footage. I will now ignore all information until opening for fear of anticipointment and a Jar Jar surprise.

– The Hateful Eight Nothing says Merry Christmas like a bloody awesome Tarantino movie!
Krampus has promise as well for some funny, scary, holiday fare.

– Con Man If you are still mad Firefly was cancelled, this might help. Plus it looks funny. Plus it has all my favorite nerd icon!s I hope it is successful as I want more TV entertainment available that does not require cable.

– Suicide Squad – 2016 That sneak was exciting, after all the baddies are way more exciting than the heroes. I hope my interest in superhero/comic movies doesn’t wane before this and 2016’s X-Men Apocalypse. (Side note, why can I never spell apocalypse right the first time?) This stole the thunder of Superman vs Batman for me.

– Ash vs Evil Dead Lots of comedy horror coming up but this has Bruce Campbell and a chainsaw!

– Crimson Peak Even beyond getting to watch/listen to Tom Hiddleston for 2 hours, this looks gorgeous and scary and wow!

– Heroes: Reborn has promise but the original tanked fast and I never finished the series so I can’t figure out why this excites me. It has some old favorites and Zachary Levi as a baddie so I am pondering my interest level. Twin Peaks, X-Files…so many old favorites coming back but still not Firefly.

-There are a lot of promising movies coming that I will think about going out to see and then just wait for the blu-ray including Macbeth with Michael Fassbender, Frankenstein with Daniel Radcliffe as Igor and James McAvoy as Victor, SPECTRE with a surprising lack of bald kitties, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies with Matt Smith and Lily James and Rock The Kasbah with Bill Murray.

– I don’t read graphic novels but, March from civil-rights activist John Lewis, actually looks interesting.

– Warcraft has been perfectly hyped and has Travis Fimmel from Vikings starring. It looks sweet even for a non-gamer but too early for me to get completely on-board.

– There are just too many superhero/comic TV shows to keep up with but Supergirl is one I am going to have to try. So much positive buzz.

And of course the on-going favorites of Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Sherlock, Vikings and American Horror Story all have lots to be excited about.

I should read a book.
