Good things about today:

- I've started catching up on the last few episodes of TAZ: Amnesty and they're delightful. Every time I take a break from Amnesty, I forget how much I enjoy it until I start listening again.

- I am wearing a dress with dinosaurs on it, which is obviously the greatest possible garment. (Well, no - the greatest possible garment would be some kind of voluminous necromancer-style robe with dinosaurs on it. But this is pretty close.)

- Katie and I are going to PodCon in Seattle this coming weekend, so I have spent part of today deciding which bits of it I most want to attend and I am excited.

Any day is good when you can say you're wearing something covered in dinosaurs.

Dinosaur dress! Sounds great.

I've found that I like Amnesty most when I'm binge-listening to it. Are they currently in the middle of an arc?

[darchildre]

They were in the middle of an arc when I stopped listening - I believe the latest ep was a Lunar Interlude sort of thing.

I find it works better for binging also. (Also, I'm just more inclined to binge things rather than listen episodically anyway.)

I keep having mixed feelings about if I should listen to Amnesty; I enjoyed Balance, but I also listened to it mostly because most of my gaming friends did. I'm glad you're having fun with it!

Dinosaur dress sounds awesome! :D

PodCon sounds very cool; my twin went last year and had a wonderful time. I look forward to you having a great time this year, and hearing about what you do!

Amnesty is a little slower and less...immediately funny than Balance was, I think partially because it's more grounded in real world things. I like it, but I prefer when I have a large chunk of it and can spend more time with the characters, rather than listening whenever a new episode comes out.

The overwhelming emphasis on humour in Balance actually made it really hard for me to get into it -- I liked the ending parts best, because that's when they really doubled down on character as the important thing (The Suffering Game was very cool, even though it was hard!) -- so Amnesty sound like it's probably more my thing than Balance in that regard, even if I tend to like things set in the real world a little less than things in fantasy/sci-fi ones. I'm not surprised it's a good show for bingeing, either; I felt the same about Balance.

Dino dress win!

That does sound like the greatest possible garment. I have been eyeing a dress with a glow-in-the-dark jellyfish on it myself, but reviews suggest the fabric clings, and I do not currently have the wherewithal to look at adding in a lining.

I hope you have a great time at the con.

Also I want to say that your "three good things" approach has been really awesome to read. Am considering trying something like it m'self.

[darchildre]

Glow in the dark jellyfish sounds amazing - it's sad that the fabric isn't what you want. (I do not enjoy clingy fabric either, as my desire for necromancer robes may imply.)

I'm glad you're enjoying my good things posts. 8) I tend to be kinda negative a lot of the time so I'm trying to actively combat that in small ways.

Dinosaurs make everything better! <3 <3

This is a true fact.
