  • my secret for dealing with winter mornings is a healthy collection of warm fuzzy socks. (although warm slippers work well for this too.) i always keep a pair right next to my bed so they’re waiting for me the second i get out of bed. i then put on some warm pants and maybe a robe too. it means i don’t have to choose between being in bed and being warm and cozy. i’m always warm and cozy at home.

    i always happy to recommend new tv shows. recently i’ve liked

    • better call saul.
    • severence.
    • kaos. (i’m still not really sure how they managed to pull that tv show off, but they did in my opinion)
    • dark.
    • snowfall.
    • lupin. (kind of silly and over the top but still fun in my opinion)
    • mindhunter (but they canceled it after 2 seasons after ending on a cliff hanger)
    • maid (2021)
    • maniac (2018)
    • chernobyl series on hbo.

    some of these are stronger than others, but i enjoyed all of them and thought they were quite good. i also tried to make the list have a decent range. also my experience has been that the netflix descriptions of tv shows are just universally pretty terrible and i probably wouldn’t have watched many of these shows had i paid attention to the description.

    my experience has been that those kinds of shows are more likely to have characters that behave like high schoolers. more drama, impulsiveness, etc. i also find it frustrating when i’m watching a show and the characters do things that, in my opinion, don’t make any sense. i also don’t enjoy it much when the major plot points are about high school relationships.

    i’m sure there are many shows that don’t fit into this characterization i’ve described, but my experience has been that they tend to be the exception rather than the norm. and there are only so many shows in the world that i will have time to watch. i’m not trying to say that shows about high schoolers are objectively bad either, just that they aren’t for me, in this stage of my life.

    the explanation i received a long time ago in grade school was:

    commas should be used when you want to combine a sentence with a sentence fragment (i.e. something that’s not a sentence); semicolons should be used when you want to combine a sentence with another sentence, provided both sentences are closely related to each other.

    now, i’m sure the actual rule is probably more complicated and nuanced than that, but the above idea has served me well throughout my academic career. i’ve found it helpful for getting an intuition on when they should be used and why.
