9ES269: Thank Goodness For Heathers

We kick this episode off by talking about the CFO of Bed Bath and Beyond throwing himself out of a window to his death and the resulting ripples of armchair investors trying to recreate the magic of GameStop and navigate just what that suicide might mean for the stonk.

 

??

 

We then move on to what’s really on people’s minds right now: The Netflix adaptation of Sandman.

 

Now listen, I enjoy most of Neil Gaiman’s work. But I never really got heavily invested into Sandman. My old roommate had most of them so I occasionally read an issue or trade here and there but it never really clicked for me. And while I can recognize its place as an important fixture in the increased popularity of “alternative” comics I’m still not sold on it’s overall quality.

 

That said, the show is pretty enjoyable.

 

A part of me is watching it to do my small part to let Netflix know that they should continue to take risky projects and I hope Sandman gets a second season and somehow it also means that Cowboy Bebop comes back too.

 

This week’s episode of Garbage Time is yet another ultra special garbage spectacular! We apply our scientifically and peer tested list-making methodology to the Saturday Night Live films and rank them from best to worst. Spoiler-alert: they are mostly all the worst. We spend a lot of time trying to determine if Coneheads is funny and whether or not Blues Brothers deserves to be so well regarded. If all that sounds like the best (because it is), show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!

I’m Terrible at Procrastination (Part 1)

I’m still at the cover! I haven’t even started  reading this, my life is a lie.

Or maybe I’m incredibly good at it? So first of all, if I’ve got some free time I should probably do something for the website. I am still working on getting the last 5-6 “Fear and Loathing After the Bomb” entries done for the first story arch (I’m not releasing any until they’re all done so at least the conclusion will have some momentum). In addition to that  I usually have a weekly blog that needs writing (the one that you’re reading) and often a podcast that needs editing. To say nothing of managing the Twitter account and the Instagram. Working on the site is rewarding and brings me some degree of joy just doing it and an even greater sense of joy if people actually read or listen to the stuff I spend so much time a week working on. However, even though it’s something I want to be doing and something that I enjoy doing, it doesn’t mean that I don’t spend hours of my week wasting time doing other stuff.

In fact, I do so many things to waste my time that this article grew to be 3 parts long. I waste so much time that I can fill 3 full articles of how I waste time. At least I’m finding some way to feel at least a little productive about all this bullshit.

Like nearly everybody else, I procrastinate and put off working on the website in favour of other things that are more immediately gratifying and distracting like reading, watching something or playing video games. The major problem here is that I will spend time doing versions of those things that are even less gratifying than other “better” versions. What the hell am I talking about? ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
