such news, very developments

- I HAVE AN INTERVIEW FOR THAT LIBRARY JOB LINED UP!! On Monday! YAY! It turns out when I called yesterday the library was closed (I suppose for Cesar Chavez day) haha woops. SO YEAH THAT'S HAPPENING. The only worry now is I have to gather 3 professional references. Like, I definitely have 1, someone I'm working with currently for my audiobook gig. I mean, I'm pretty sure. I have to ask him first but I can't imagine why he'd say no. But then I need 2 others, and 1 has to be a previous supervisor. So that's gonna take some digging I suppose. I have a bad habit of not really keeping in contact with previous coworkers/bosses, lol. Is it weird to just email a previous boss after not talking to them for like 5 years and asking for them to be available to give a reference? (No letter writing, I just have to provide contact info for the refs.)
- I bought my ticket to the Fan Expo Canada! I'm in the middle of plane-ticket shopping around, and will have one purchased by the end of the night. (It's just a big purchase so I'm letting some options mill around in my head.) But I will be hanging out at the Fan Expo this August with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
skieswideopen and colls and I'm so excited!! Ahh!! FUN! Also I've never been to Toronto before!
fandom/tv stuff!

- I binge-watched all of Brooklyn Nine-Nine in two days. Whoever told me it's like P&R but with cops was pretty spot on. Although it's still different enough to P&R that it doesn't feel like a rehash. I don't find it quite as funny as P&R, BUT, season 1 of Brooklyn 9-9 is already way funnier than season 1 of P&R was. It's not fair to compare a show that's had a few years to get its groove on to a brand new show. ALSO, I kind of like the characters of Brooklyn 9-9, in general, better. They're all loveable in their own ways. There's also no Jerry of the show, which is a huge plus (I like Jerry fine - I hate how he is treated. It's the one sore spot of P&R for me). Anyway not to get too compare-y about it. Just to say the humor style is similar, and it's got that non-cheesy heartwarming stuff in it to boot, so yeah this was definitely a slam dunk for me. And I LOVE the characters. LOVE THEM!! (Don't ask me for a favorite. I can not choose.)
- I watched the first episode of the Amazon show The After. I heard a lot of mixed stuff, but honestly, I loved it. LOVED. IT. Group of misfits shoved together? Creepy end of the world stuff? THAT SIGNATURE WEIRD CHRIS CARTER STYLE SUPERNATURAL SHIT? Yup I'm there sign me up *stamps seal of approval on show*. I also read that the show was picked up! So there will be more! Idk how many more episodes but hopefully at least 11 for a 12-ep run?
- Agents of SHIELD COMES BACK TONIGHT YEAHHHHHHHH
- There's no tv I'm watching right now causing me stress. The Walking Dead just ended for the season, and the second half of the season was soooo good, I'm really glad I came back to the show. It was worth it for that half a season, if nothing else. Once Upon a Time is frickin' delightful right now, I don't even care. No, it's not any better written or whatever, it is the same exact level of show it has always been. But I'm really enjoying the story direction! Intelligence just ended its first (of hopefully-more-than-one) season, and the 2-parter that capped the season was really good, and kind of a turning point in the show for me. I liked the two leads all along, Riley and Gabriel, but the rest of the characters really came into their own in the 2-parter and now I love everyone in this bar etc. The Americans remains a really solid spy thriller and I enjoy it. I also enjoy Russian cold war politics so it's like this show is tailor made for me. I would say that Vikings lost its shit but I don't think it every really had its shit to begin with. And I mean that in a good way. Crazy fuckin show but I enjoy it haha. Needs more Lagertha tho. Continuum leaves me boggled every week, in a good way. They've been doing some crazy ballsy time travel stuff but I love them for it.
I LOVE TV
