The IT Crowd is so good!

This was a roller coaster of emotions! I had to look up Potato World after that and saw Col. Chris Hadfield is giving a speech nearby this evening

The youth of the- you cut that right out now!

That's fair, and I do remember it being explicitly discussed and still I wasn't into it. But I am always curious to try it out again. Art hits differently at different times, after all

For some reason, every episode had me expecting that and then it would turn out to be amazing.

Edit to add: every episode I actually said, "this one will veer too far into teen drama, and I'll have to drop out" but somehow they'd pull it off. It was really great television

P.O.D. ughh

I just wanted something I was allowed to listen to that people had actually heard of

I had a similar upbringing, and still love My Bloody Valentine like the day I first heard them in college. More, really. I was a little disappointed to find that my new favorite genre shoegaze really just boiled down to MBV for me though haha

I don't usually give up on books, and it's been a long time so it's foggy, but my impression was that it was trying too hard to be harry potter/Narnia but adult! And edgy! And I couldn't stand Quentin or really any of the characters. I only know one other person that's experienced both and he also gave up on the book series.

Sometimes I am curious to try the books again now, but the show is so good I'd rather just rewatch it!

Ooh this reminds me of something I've had at a Chinese buffet with crab or surimi, cheese and I think celery or something in it. It didn't have any rice involved but I'll try it out, thanks for the info. I was also curious what a sushi bake would be, and it looks and sounds good!

Loved The Magicians! I didn't even make it through the first book and I can't remember what on Earth convinced me to watch the show, but I'm so glad I got on board!

Yep that's my entire context for the song lol
