It’s been years since I’ve really watched The Simpsons and honestly, I can barely remember the last time I actually watched an episode. Lately, I’ve been curious how the show has changed over time, especially in the newer seasons. So I decided to watch the top rated episode according to IMDb of every season. 

But I wanted to do something more … always complicating things! I decided to do the same thing with Bob’s Burgers and Futurama. I selected Bob’s because it’s a favorite of mine and I never need an excuse to watch! For Futurama I have a similar history with it as I have with The Simpsons, so it felt like a good choice. Plus having the same creator was a plus.

Finally to make it a bit of fun I will watch the three episodes of the season in question in one sitting and select my favorite,

I have no idea if that made any sense! To be honest I have really been struggling to explain it and AI couldn’t even help me LOL.

And once we run out of Bob’s Burgers and Futurama seasons I will simply continue on with The Simpsons and basically back to my original plan/concept. Still I will watch in groups on three and select my favorite.

Enjoy?

PS this originally was gonna be a podcast series then it occurred to me that I really don’t feel like analyzing or explaining my picks .. and it’s not like it would get any listens anyway.

There won't be a set schedule or anything. Shocker!

Again I hope someone enjoys it.

Well um...Okay?

When you're looking at tidbit information on TV show knowing you might run into spoilers, but you keep going not thinking you will come across anything in that "WTF Really?!" category. Yet you do. Then you need to decide do you stop looking and just know this thing or things will happen but not the details or do you decide that you came this far (even on accident) you may as well learn about it in more detail?

It shouldn't be surprising what I went with LOL.

Show is in tags. Any guesses what I learned? Though I am afraid by asking and if people respond it might reveal other secrets! To be honest it wasn't just this thing I learned. I am on Series 10 - Episode 2 as of the typing of this.

Unburying an old blog

After a 6 years, 1 month, and 26 day absence @lyricinspiration is back! Well back for now ... I might forget in a few days LOL. Basic concept is lyrics from songs I think could serve as inspiration for writing. While a lot of the artists used are ones I personally like I am open to pretty much anything. Selection is fairly random. Um check it out?

LOL. Crap. My brain wasn’t entirely on and I completely forgot yesterday was the eviction episode and just went to the morning live feed post on Reddit just to take a gander at how things are going and BAM immediately saw (blank) evicted and (blank) HOH. I was like wait…what? The sad thing is this morning on streaming I watched Wednesday episode and at the end came the voice over stay tuned tomorrow for live episode…. and app had next episode available to watch. Still somehow my tired brain couldn’t grasp what this meant.

and he is still talking

The Paramount streaming app is so fucking slow.

Takes like 3 minutes for everything to load to let me watch the live feeds.

Luckily once up and playing I can switch cameras pretty easily.

I know 3 minutes isn't that long and honestly that might be stretch.

It's the principle of the thing.

And I am allowed to be frustrated.

All the other streaming apps it's basically open app, find, select, play in under 30 seconds.

Now onto BB27.

I am watching this season. Occasional, new-ish viewer. Skipped last season though.

Sadly I can't have feeds on that often. Hubby doesn't watch BB, my mom does but doesn't like the live feeds or knowing things.

So my chances are limited.

I did watch for about an hour+ tonight. Some decent stuff.

Got it on now (it's 12:30am pst) and once again Zae will not shut up. I think he's venting about the big fight I missed an hour ago.

I haven't seen yesterday's ep. Clearly I know things because I don't care about spoilers.

However I won't mind watching the eviction episodes live. Or in my case time delayed. Wahoo for west coast!

Because I like that part being a surprise.

I will have to ask my mom if I can watch in the living room with her and if possible during air-time airing and not hours later via dvr.

Sure she will love that.

I won't mind watching all with her but there are so many episodes and it be hard not to make comments of things that the feeds gave me.

Still perhaps watching the lives might be a good solution.

Zae. Shut. Up.

I don't have a winner yet.

To be frankly honest I can barely keep them all straight.

I know once a few are widdled away it gets easier.

I do vibe with Ava.

However I don't think she'll win.

Thoughts on the Groups (that no one asked for) in my preference order.

Group 1 – Mixed Band: They come across as confident without being cocky. No diva (or male-diva) energy, just solid vocals and strong, balanced personalities. I fear maybe they might end up being too simple.

Group 2 – Boy Band A: They’re all strong vocalists and blend well together, but it feels like there are too many members. I’ve seen Reddit posts suggesting they need a fifth, but I completely disagree. Strangely enough, any trio combination works, any one of them could be dropped and the group would still function. That’s not to say there’s a “weak link,” though. It’s hard to explain, but the current number just feels off.

Group 5 – Girl Band B: There’s potential here, and nothing is bad, per se but something just feels a little off. I can’t quite name it yet, but I’m not convinced everything will click in the long run.

Group 4 – Boy Band B: Vocally, they’re solid. In the booth and during their limited screen time together, they had a great vibe. Still, I have a gut feeling their personalities might clash as things progress.

Group 3 – Girl Band A: Something’s not working here. Three members isn’t enough, and I think whoever insisted on keeping it a trio made the wrong call. I believe it was Nori who pushed for it, and if she was able to sway the others that easily, I worry she’ll keep trying to run the group despite it supposedly having no leader.

Group 6 – Girl Band C: This group is technically still unofficial at the time of writing, though I’m 99.999% sure I know who the final three are. I’ll hold off on judging until their first performance. That said; Alison is, hands down, the worst personality-wise. Her whole vibe is toxic: controlling, drama-hungry, and manipulative. I don’t even think she wants to be in a group; she wants to dominate one. I do wonder if there were others with similar behavior didn’t make it into a group and the show just didn’t bother to feature them.

All are good and all are bad...

I have been working on a fic for awhile. Been keeping it secret. Whenever I start talking about it for some reason I lose motivation. Like I put too much pressure on myself. I am weird. Without giving anything away each chapter is a scene/moment in time and things go in chronological order. I am not writing this but it's like:

Chapter 1: Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck at the zoo

Chapter 2: Pluto & Daffy Duck at the store three days later

Chapter 3: Daffy Duck & Elmer Fudd at Daffy's house two hours later

And etc. I am running into an issue in which on my latest chapter it's fairly long compared to the others and techically it has a solid ending but I feel like there is more I want/need to do story wise. Should i...

This morning Spotify recommended this song. Sam Beam is the lead singer of Iron & Wine. I know fairly rarely he posts things under his actual name, but not that much. Still I didn't think much of and of course I listened.

Something was not ... right. His voice sounded off, the music was off. Maybe it was a new style? Since not Iron & Wine perhaps he was trying something new? Hey it has happened. Still something was not ... right.

I asked my husband. I was like "I know you are not the biggest Iron & Wine fan but you have heard them enough to know what they sound like. Check this out, why does he sound so different?" Or something like that.

Within 10 seconds of listening he has me stop it and simply says "That's AI. I don't need to hear anything else." He also pointed out the image is clearly AI. Then a light went off for me. Like oh yeah that makes sense why something was not ... right.

Apparently Zayn formerly of One Direction wrote and produced it. The publisher is also something out of left field.

Just so many signs it's nothing but bullshit. My husband (unfortunately) had to use X to message Sam Beam, also reported it to Spotify. There are two posts (as of now) on the Iron & Wine reddit talking about it.

I understand AI music and bands are a thing. I will be honest I don't know my feelings on it. I should clarify. I am on the fence/unsure if the AI band is fictional, the creators admit it is, and are in a unique space. I am against it if the creators claim it's real and doubledown and more importantly falsely put it under someone else's name. That is wrong.

Apparently according to a comment on the Reddit post this has happened to someone else. Likely multiple times.

Hopefully Spotify will take this song down. With that said please listen to Sam Beam aka Iron & Wine.
