The quintessential breakaway71 experience:
* found family
* human characters becoming something not-quite-human
* crossovers that should probably not work in a canon setting BUT I'LL FIT THEM TOGETHER IF IT KILLS ME
...I feel like this should be my pinned post.

My loathing for Tom Wilson is second only to my loathing for all the fans who constantly defend him.

I own all of Leverage on DVD but I only ever got around to watching the first season a few years back. (Despite loving it, I got distracted by, like. Life.) So, finally getting around to fixing that.

It would be nuts to try and do this as a single day trip with no overnights, but man, I might if I can get away with leaving Saturday night. Pocketing the hotel costs would be insanely helpful for my overall con budget this year. (Especially at the hotel prices for this con JFC.)
Anybody who has done a Creation Entertainment con recently, how late do they usually do autographing these days? I know it used to be evening but it's been a LONG time since I last went to one.
I'm thinking of swapping my flight home to Saturday night, but it would mean leaving the con by 7:30PM.

I've perfected the cooldown stretches I do after my treadmill workout, but failed to remember that incorporating dumbbell exercises meant I needed to incorporate some targeted upper body stretches as well. Now I have some regret.
Saving grace is I've been starting slow, so I'm only a little sore.

Ohhhh this is a fantastic list.
Also a couple people had asked me, after I posted a Static Shock fic last year, where I streamed it when I did my rewatch. I didn’t, I bought the set on DVD because HBO Max had removed it from streaming. But it’s on this list!!

In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March.
For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

My hopes of a quiet RescueVerse con that wouldn't turn into a mess of hysterical buddie fans have been dashed. Alas.
But I did snag a Ryan autograph ticket. Might as well get as much out of the trip as I can if I'm gonna suffer anyway. 😂 I do love that so many of the main cast members will be there

Did not turn my ankle during my workout. Oh no, that would have made too much sense. Instead, I managed to turn my ankle afterwards. In the shower.
Damn it, self, why are you like this?

I am in desperate need of someone kicking my ass to be even the tiniest bit productive today. I’ve been awake 4 hours and have not yet managed to leave my nest of blankets except to get cereal

Spent my sick day accomplishing some errands and going to the movies and my neck/shoulder still hurts which is annoying but damn, Send Help was fun

Tweaking my neck/shoulder overnight was the last straw on my patience for this week. I didn't want to use sick time (I'm already using a lot for upcoming appointments), but screw it. If I go in right now, with my patience worn as thin as it is AND in pain, I'm going to snap.

Anyway if anyone here cares, I’m staunchly rooting for Canada in the Olympics. I feel that should be obvious given Sid and Marner alone. Also given I flat refuse to root for the USA team.
That said if a minor injury happens to a certain player on Canada’s roster I’m not likely to cry about it. 😒

It's completely nutso to a lot of us, too, trust me
I don't even know who James van der Beek is, but do Americans know how completely nutso it seems to Europeans that someone in a wealthy country has to auction their belongings to pay for cancer treatment?

James Van Der Beek attended my local comic con last year to raise funds for medical care, and even though he clearly wasn't well, he had a smile for everyone and was so kind to his fans.
I hope he finds peace after so long fighting the battle against cancer.
RIP

Roommate bought my Fitbit off me, since I didn’t like it after testing. Instead of cash, he bought me the upcoming Castlevania piano collection off Mondo. I am delighted by this transaction. (Even if I think he tricked me because he wanted to feel better about the LPs he just bought. 😂)

Sometimes, from a dead stop, Vasya will suddenly leap into the air and then start galloping through the house.
And yes I use the word “gallop” deliberately. An elephant would run more quietly than this 8-pound hellbeast.

Controversial figure skating opinion but the more I see of him the more I dislike Ilia Malinin. He is a technically brilliant skater but he is boring to watch.
Yeah, I said it.
Also if I have to hear “Quad God” one more time I’m gonna start smashing things.

There are four RescueVerse cons this year, and Oliver is signed on for all of them EXCEPT the only one Ryan is signed on for. This is hilarious to me, especially watching all the Buddie people losing their shit over it.
Consider - THEY MIGHT BE TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING?

My coworker showed me this ad today, and I've never cringed so hard over an ad in my life. This is legitimately terrifying stuff.

A mailbox shiny to brighten my Monday! This is a funny one - only the top photo was one I sent. The other two he just randomly included in my return envelope!
Delighted to have a return at all though. My first autograph for Person of Interest, one of my all-time favorite shows!!
