Links: Sailor Moon, Events & More

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.

Hey, everyone! Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I joined the office softball league and our first game was up against a team who takes the game way too seriously, especially playing up against a group of people with a team where 80% of us have never played softball before.

Comedy Central has tapped directly into my soul with their new half hour show, Another Period. This show satirizes reality shows like Keeping Up With The Kardashians and period dramas (especially Downton Abbey) by placing a turn of the century rich family in Newport (The Bellacourts) under a reality show microscope. We get candid interviews with family members, confessionals from the much-trodden-upon servants, and footage of all the exciting events upstairs and downstairs. Of course … Continue reading Another Period: Comedy Central Meets Downton Abbey
