I am really enjoying the second season of the Umbrella Academy. Its weird, but a good weird.
I just watched the first season last month so I'm excited to watch more
I pretty much only like Klaus, but the overall concept is compelling enough that I'm down for it. Ensemble casts are good. If we can see more of the hot dead brother I'd be happy.
I love 5. He is such a bastard. But I enjoy the character.

Just snagged me a phone interview with an AI startup
The salary is less than I'd like but includes equity, which is important to me on like a philosophical level, and they said "negotiable"
I think I out-experience the requested credentials at least so I may try to bargain, though honestly judging the worth of equity next to salary is not something I've had to do before

Paper Mario: Origami King is interesting. It's very good except i don't know if i like the battle system yet.
Knowing the people around here, the signs are not wrong.
Also, that boy is a future HOA member in the making
My favorite is the one that says "Watch For Children" with a picture of two kids on a see-saw. Like, maybe you shouldn't be installing see-saws in the middle of the road, city park planners.

On a world called Heaven, the ten major religions of mankind each have its own land governed by a capital city and ruled by a Hegemon. That Hegemon may be a god, or a prophet of a god. Smaller religions have their own towns or villages of belief.
Corvyn, known as the Shadow of the Raven, contains the collective memory of humanity’s Falls from Grace. With this knowledge comes enormous power.
When unknown power burns a mysterious black image into the holy place of each House of the Decalivre, Corvyn must discover what entity could possibly have that much power. The stakes are nothing less than another Fall, and if he doesn't stop it, mankind will not rise from the ashes.
This is easily the best book I've read this year. Everyone should read it.

I think he's a well-designed and well-acted character, but I'm never happy when the show spends more time following him around cause he's annoying!

He feels much better I think in the second series so far.
The real winner of the second seas has been the sound track. I won't spoil anything. But the sound track is just amazingly well done.

In the lightless study, the individual who called himself Corvyn sat behind a plain black table desk. His eyes went to the trident black-etched upon the gray stones of the wall.
Under certain conditions, as he well knew, the so-called color charges represented by quantum chromodynamics, and manifested in the arrival and appearance of the trident’s image, not only could vary in space and time, but could inhibit or undermine the properties of otherwise strong quantum interactions, even structured matter. That should not have been surprising to most people, but most human beings still perceived matter as solid, rather than as what it was—various levels of infinitesimal waveform energy amid vast empty space. And, given certain abilities, those possessed by powers, principalities, hegemons, and a few others, that vast empty space could be treated as and handled like shadows.
All the hegemons of the Decalivre had at least some ability with the shadows, as did others who were not hegemons, of which he was one. Also, with such powers, some hegemons believed they were gods, or some form of deity, while other hegemons, with similar powers, only believed that they were prophets or speakers for a god, while at least one House of the Decalivre had neither a prophet nor a deity. Yet all hegemons were powers with whom Corvyn had dealt and with whom he would have to deal in order to preclude another Fall. And that did not include those with lesser abilities, among them minor powers; greater powers, some of which were called angels; and principalities.
But which of the hegemons might have made such an overt and potentially threatening gesture as planting a trident in stone? Especially in another power’s domain?
You really should not judge him by his name. It's that for a reason. It's heavily implied that he is... someone from mythology. A very well known someone.
He stepped out of the shade that cloaked his villa, a shade some called “shadows,” rendering it somehow less than discrete while not denying the solidity of its existence. Pausing momentarily on the wide sidewalk on the west side of the Avenue Pierrot, its smooth white paving stones polished by the noonday light, he noted the reflected light graying the black tunics and trousers of the Skeptics and the unrepentant, while softening the white garments of the few White Faithful who either felt they were doing penance or were trying to convert the unrepentant, if not both, by their presence. Corvyn did not see anyone from Aethena wearing the light green of the Maid, but that was anything but surprising in Helios. Officially this was Ciudad Helios, and sometimes, more colloquially, it was called simply Hel, at least by those in Ciudad Los Santos. Not that there had ever been many of the ancient sainted who had come to Helios since its founding after the forced landing of the Rapture and the days of the almost forgotten First and the scattered survivors of the previous Fall. But then, that was another story, and one that he was disinclined to reflect upon, unless he felt more charitable toward the white sheep and their shepherd than he usually did. As for the other seven Houses of the Decalivre . . . only a few of their inhabitants ever graced the paved streets of Helios. That was not true of the Saints of Nauvoo, although that village of belief was more the size of one of the smaller cities of the Decalivre.
It's sci fi, mixed with mythology. It's like American Gods, if I'm going to compare it to anything. Y'know, the one with the main character called -Shadow Moon-

what if someday instead of ignoring my job applications someone hired me
The best is when they ghost your application/interview/visit, and then six to nine months later you get an email from HR being like "oh we hired someone else btw"
I am really enjoying the second season of the Umbrella Academy. Its weird, but a good weird.
It felt a lot more cohesive than the first season to me. Like, they had to spend some time setting up how weird the universe is, now they're just running with it and indulging in how well all the characters bounce off each other.
It’s just a busted old thing that costs 5x more than what anyone should be paying. Or maybe that’s just all antiques.

MrMrMister and I binged S2 of the Umbrella Academy the last couple days. Overall, I think I liked it more than S1?
Eventually I got pretty sick of some of the characters, though, who really just need to be slapped. By the end, Allison was probably the only one I found consistently non-annoying.
Overall I found it a fun, fluffy way to pass the time.
