(Just the action scenes) (Did you know Patton Oswalt and Gambi from Black Lightning are in Trinity! Patton Oswalt dies off screen too)(HOLY SHIT BALLS THATS DOMINIC PARCELL AS DRACULA It's a young looking Mick from Legends of Tomorrow...with no neck, like at all)(I feel like "Listens to music while she fights" is a horrible trait to give a fighter. I mean, all your senses are important when you're fighting, she literally can't hear if there's someone coming at her from the side. SHe has no situational awareness at all if she's got earbuds in her ears) (This should have been the blog post.)

My boss was mad at me again today. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, but I swear the guy who worked the shift before me didn't show up for shifts, was apparently stealing, and possibly making deals with people, and having people behind the counter, and yet my manager just keeps acting like I'm the problem. Treating me like there's something wrong with me, and snapping at me over the smallest things completely ignoring how hard working, responsible, and reliable I am. He even insisted I follow the nightly cleaning list even after like a month ago we'd come up with a better system I thought he preferred that had me deep cleaning something every night. But no, he insisted I abandon that and stick to the paper, implying that there was something wrong with my work ethic.
Then today he got mad at me for putting brackets on the page to delineate what is done in what order. Cause it's just a randomly ordered list of things, and I have to give it some kind of order. I even made a legend in the corner so my boss could see what the brackets meant, and that I wasn't just doodling. But it seemed like that's what he took offense to. And I had traded a shift to my coworker next Thursday so I could get some writing done, and he gave it back to me without any warning or explanation. I don't know if it was an accident, or some kind of punishment cause I screwed up that paperwork that one day, but I know he's been treating me like crap ever since. I was gonna ask him about it today, but he went to the bathroom and I had a bus to catch. The assistant manager suggested I text him, because he wouldn't bring it up to him because "It doesn't involve me" Even though the asst manager was who okayed the trade in the first place.
And I don't want to text the manager because I don't think he likes my texting anymore. He started out seeming excited that I was so accessible via texting, but like everyone else at my old job, I think he came to resent my long detailed texts because he blatantly stopped responding, and stopped texting me about issues, and started calling instead, and also since I started noticing that was the same time I stopped seeming to be "in his good books" as he started to get more visibly irritated with me. And it's not like I'm doing anything wrong. It's like he just doesn't like the fact I'm a nerd, or that I'm not confident, or I'm not his idea of a manly man, so he pushes me around and treats me like shit. And that was just before all this crap with my paperwork that one time, and yet despite my apologies, and my returning to the store to fix it on my time and my dime, and insisting it wont happen again, he's been cracking down on me anyway and giving me a hard time. And now I don't even know if, were I to ask about next thursday, if they might not just fire me cause apparently this responsible and reliable person here that is me isn't worth shit to them. I feel so demoralized, and depressed. Maybe that's why it's been so hard for me to play games lately. Like nothing seems fun to me anymore. I live in a nightmare world of stress and misery. And it's not fair.
And still all I want to do is write for a living. I think I'm gonna change the structure of my life (What? again?) I'm going to start working on this month's chapter now, just start binging it, put everything into it. Then I'm going to write next months chapter, binge until I finish that next weekend (After I'm done with this months chapter) And not stop till thats done (Besides work and chores... and DVR) and then I'll keep a month ahead every time from then on, and write the chapters at the very beginning of the month, instead of week 3. That way once I'm ahead on my writing, and that's one less stress sitting over me, maybe I'll be more in the mood for video games. As it is now, I never work on my writing until I'm ready to binge it because I can never bring myself to when I just have an hour or two. I end up usually wasting the time being unproductive. because I'm still in that shitty mood and don't want to game either so I'm not even being productive in finishing games on my list (Yes, I have a weird idea on the meaning of productivity). I'm just tired of it. Tired of my poor time management. Tired of letting my depression and misery destroy my life. But misery and depression ARE great writing tools, so they shouldn't be the same barriers to writing as they are to having fun playing video games.
Anyway, I've gone on enough, and as we've covered I alienate people with my long detailed texts... which is also probably why I'm such a failed writer and will never amount to anything.
I just plain annoy and alienate people. My personality, who I am, whatever. People think they want to be friends, or date, or hire someone who is an honest open book, and responsible and reliable, but then once they get to know someone like me, it's just instant hate and derision. Just all the time.
Geekly Weekly TV Rankings ( ➤ for new):
- Les Miserables *****
Great second episode, even if it absolutely lives up to its name. This episode was mieserable. Watching the fall of Fontine was heartbreaking, and you couldn't do anything but watch. For me the hardest part was her selling her front teeth. Like jesus christ. That was rough. Can you imagine how much that would hurt, they were healthy teeth! It was also interesting, watching the dynamic between Javert and a hiding Jean Val Jean. I know this story just so well, but it's still be worth it watching the events play out one more time with these amazing performances. I just wish they would play out different this time. Its hard to watch. Finally, the sets are amazing. I feel like that needed to be said. - The Orville *****
Yes, that's 5 stars. Count them. Now it's not like I can make an argument that "Yeah, you know when Game of Thrones gets 4 and a half stars? This episode is better than that." No, no, sometimes shows have to have a scale within themselves. What I mean is, a show has a certain amount of potential. And that's not even to say certain shows should get special treatment. Just means that not all shows aim to achieve the same goals. What I'm saying is, this show was absolutely the best Orville episode yet, and if that's not worth 5 stars, then nothing does. It followed my least favourite character too! Worf is equally my least favourite Trek character, Klingons my least favourite race. But I love how Bordis' storylines, as similar to Worf as he is, generally revolve around gay sex and homo relations as opposed violence, and pain, and self harm. Also, the B plot of the planet collapsing, and the primitive people trapped inside was awesome. The visual effects were insanely good, clearly this show has an improved budget. And the twist that they had to leave most the people behind was surprisingly touching. I actually teared up, I was sure they'd come up with some way to save everyone, and then the shuttle takes off and the planet explodes behind them and it's like "Oh, okay, no they're definitely dead." The episode actually made me care. And it's pretty impressive, a comedic show willing to get that dark and morose with its subject matter. It seems like The Orville wants to play in all genres, to be all things to all people. And this episode they actually pulled it off. I don't understand how this wasn't the premiere. The equally character focused previous episode, minus the furious action and amazing special effects of this episode, would have made a great second episode, a more "bottle" episode making up for the high budget of this one. Apparently they decided to try something different, either that or the insane special effects for this episode just weren't ready yet. - ➤Brooklyn Nine Nine ****1/2It's finally back! we weren't ever even all that sure it would be, but it was ressurected and pulled to another network. I heard it had twice the usual ratings. Must be a huge win for them. I loved the A plot of Jake and Amy's honeymoon with Holt. Terry's subplot adapting to leadership was fun as well. But the C plot was a snoozefest. And there was nothing funny about Charles' did getting cheated on.
- The Goldbergs ****1/2
Great episode of The Goldbergs this week, seeming to imply that they have a shared universe with the Adam Sandler movie The Wedding Singer and it was really fun all the references and footage they used from that movie. Really clever and fun. I mostly enjoyed Adam's struggle with drama. The most humour in this episode was from Jeff trying to convince Adam drama has its value in filmmaking, and Adam just not getting it. - Young Justice ****1/2
They released 3 episodes in one week, and that's probably good because the first episode ended with the story really just beginning. I'm just glad they didn't just drop the whole season at once. I'm really liking everything DC has been doing with their streaming service so far. It's too bad they don't offer it in Canada and other territories. The three episodes sort of made up a complete arc, and it played with both old and new characters alike. Like the Orville above, it isn't shying away from tragedy despite the genre it decided to play in. - Family Guy ****
Fun episode of Family Guy this week, continuing its trend of meta references, self-referential humor, and subverting norms. This show knows itself so well now, and the types of jokes it can get away with. There were some great lines and moments, even if the overall plot of the episode just seemed like a slapped together mess of an episode. How we exactly got from Peter's house being a murder house to him lying like Fox news on TV and joining Trumps white house is a little beyond explanation, but the fun was the journey that got us there. I kinda hope next week DOES continue where this week's left off. But I doubt it. - The Gifted ***
Another meh episode of the Gifted. Okay, I'm not saying that there weren't moments I enjoyed. I heart Lorna so much, she's so awesome and hot and all Marcos has to do is put up with her shit, and it totally seems worth it to me and I would too. Aww, I would put up with all her shit to date her. But the part where she was all like "I didn't think she would go this far." this is only exactly the thing Marcos was warning her about, and exactly the reason why he didn't go with her, and NOW she's listening. It just reminds me so damn much of Trump supporters, but their so happy calling me dumb, and childish, and they are living every benefit of being a confident aggressive douche. Maybe if they were all hot pale goth type babes like Lorna I'd be more willing to put up with their shit.
