I looked around the internet today, and I thought: you know the internet needs? More people talking about TV. So I thought I'd rectify that gaping hole in internet pop culture blogs, and start this one.
This has a dual purpose, in that I'm starting out on the (very scary) process of writing a dissertation, and I think I need a distraction. I love history with all my heart, but I have another great love: sitting on the couch, watching TV. Also reading, but that's a lot more respectable, and hence a lot less funny. I'll talk about other stuff too (movies, general pop culture) but mostly TV.
So join me (or not, whatevs) as I talk about my favorite TV shows: the good (Game! Of Thrones!) the comfort-food (Law and Order: SVU) (shut up), and the middling-to-terrible (Smash, why do you suck so much?)

Things I'm capable of, and those I'm not.
Things I can't do off the top of my head:
1) Multiplication
2) Tell my right from my left
3) Division
4) Addition or subtraction with numbers larger than 5
5) Not get lost, even in familiar places
6) Math
Things I can do off the top of my head:
1) Answer Star Wars-based trivia questions.
2) Answer Harry Potter-based trivia questions.
3) Answer Hunger Games-based trivia questions.
4) Explain the very real social issues grappled with on Downton Abbey.
5) Make tacos.
I'd rate my usefulness to humanity at about a 4.
