So when I was on the super restrictive carb diet earlier this year, I stopped eating fruit during the week. And I noticed my cravings for candy became a craving for fruit. So I indulged it. I mean, it's healthier than candy and you like watermelon and cantaloupe! I LOVE WATERMELON. What's not to like?

Now that I'm on a different diet, I can have fruit during the week...so for my weekend treat, I bought a slice of cake.

1) It spiked my blood sugar hard. I expected this. It's the weekend. I eat what I want on the weekends.

2) Oh my goodness that was SWEET. Like super sweet. Like sickeningly sweet. Nauseatingly sweet.

3) It's sitting in my stomach like a lead weight.

I guess I don't like cake now. Oh, darn, guess I'll be eating more watermelon. Woe is me. :D

Yesterday was the Transgender Day of Remembrance. A day where we remember those of us who were killed for being who we are.

What will you do today to help shorten the list next year?

Miranda asked me to talk about Texas. So here we are....

Okay, so like Texas is big. It's really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to Texas.

High School Football is a religion. Like a complete, total, religion. Lives are on the line in Texas football. Families are torn apart on team affiliations. Republicans and Democrats have NOTHING on "Clark HS vs Marshall HS" shenannigans.

We eat beef. Lots of beef. BBQ beef. Slow cooked in a smoker over a day. It's fall off the bone tender. Teeth are optional in Texas BBQ. Teeth are often also optional in Texans.

Dairy Queens are everywhere. Much like when three people gather in his name, Jesus is there in spirit, if a town has more than three people, they have a Dairy Queen.

No one outside of Austin likes Austin. But if you're not from Texas and make fun of Austin, we'll beat you up.

Texans are a friendly sort. They're also quite kind. The guy walking into the Dairy Queen in the ten gallon hat, a gun in his holster under his trench coat and cowboy boots with spurs may look intimidating. But if you smile at him, he'll smile back.

Not joking about that one.

Okay, Episode 5 does something with a gratuitous sex scene I've never seen before, and that's not make it gratuitous. They used it as a way to get a character drop their defenses and explore part of their character they wouldn't reveal to anyone else, and I'm all here for that, cause that's how these scenes SHOULD be used.

I'm really loving this Bebop, guys.

Quickly realizing that it's not that "I don't watch much TV" as I watch it all in November with Bebop, Discovery, Dr Who and Prodigy.

Doctor Who SERIOUSLY needs to fix it sound mix.

I absolutely LOVED Blink when it came out. But every single one since has just been a repeat of the catchphrases and jump scares to the point of cliche. Village of the Angels is the best Weeping Angels episode since Blink.

The cliches are there, but the story is really good, and the arc is moving forward nicely. Helluva cliffhanger, too.
