A Post of Self Reflection

The February of Duchess fell a bit flat. I have spent it sick. Not on my deathbed or anything but just enough to make wandering out in 30 degree weather not worth it. So I sat around on my couch playing video games and flipping between watching cartoons and political discussion (using one to cleanse my mind from the other) to help recharge my batteries that were already running low from the past job.

I had a lot of time to myself to reflect on things and feel like I owe this community two apologies.

I am sorry for not finishing the Coach Duchess pieces. I racked my brain on how to handle the last one. I concluded that going after the kids parents was redundant. I had already discussed about how team mom is usually picked by which mother looked best in yoga pants. I already touched on the borderline child abuse parents are willing to subject their young kids to in order to make weight. I also wrote myself into a corner theme wise. As earlier comments suggested it would have worked better as instalments with different chapters touching on all the subjects rather than trying to break it down by segments. For that bit of flakiness I apologize.

I am sorry for killing the Nine Circles of Leasts. This hurt me immensely. It all started as a random response from another comment on the other website. The reaction to it made me change from a mostly lurker to feel like a member of the kommunity. After I wrote this article here I felt like I broke the game. I personally felt like it was my best one and that in my own mind every one after that paled in comparison. I felt as if I played my favorite game in GOD MODE and couldn’t focus on playing it again. I was also not watching as much football as I did in the past so I felt like me googling other games and judging peoples performances I didn’t watch should have put me in the Fraud section of my own posts. For not communicating this to you all earlier I am sorry.

Now as far as an update for the February of Duchess someone commented about to see how long I could go without wearing underwear. That answer is ALL of February and still going. I am still trying to find the worst restaurant in DC. Believe it or not most of the lower starred yelp reviews usually are from ass hats who give a restaurant 1 star for being busy and taking a while. On the job front I have had a few interviews with a couple of promising leads that I am excited about. And lastly my daytime Cartoon rankings

1. Clarence –  It is about the wacky adventures of s kind hearted good spirited kid. In one episode he is tired of the teacher giving arbitrary rewards of gold stars so he creates his own reward system for everyone which leads to chaos. He finds a watch and due to funny things like it actually being daylight savings and a sudden car stopping he believes he can control time with the watch. Seriously if you haven’t watched this show I highly recommend it.

2. Teen Titans Go – its a goofy take on the more serious Teen Titans that was on earlier.Each character has their own big flaw and showing Robin as a neurotic kid with an inferiority complex is a nice touch. It is smartly written and is willing to poke fun at itself. Also it gave us this beautiful song.

You would think this is some lost 80’s hit because it is presented as one. However, the writers wrote a full song as joke and frankly it’s pretty damn good.

3. The Amazing World of Gumball – This is trippy as hell and a clever way of doing characters. You have puppets interacting with drawings interacting with a two dimensional paper cut out. It is one of the most inventive cartoons out there.

4. We Bare Bears –  It’s a show with some heart also it answers the question “What has Demetri Martin been up to?” (the answer is voicing Ice Bear).

5. Steven Universe –  not my cup of tea but it should be more in the grouping of Regular Show and Adventure Time as a cartoon for older folks. Still better than Uncle Grandpa.
