I've actually watched stuff! I picked up Hulu again and I am glad I put it off so I'd have a pile of stuff to watch to get me through a week of really bad insomnia (too tired to do things but not able to sleep sucks and TV is a really good way to not feel blerglestaffle)

* The Bear seasons 1 and 2! It's really good. The writing is amazing

* Living With The Dead - A shoe about queer ghosthunters by the same production company as Queer Eye. I like the people on the show and the concept of highlighting queer people in the paranormal field, but they are trying to force the episodes into the story beats of a Queer Eye episode and it doesn't work. Also, it's filmed like a sitcom? It's like the team very much did not understand the assignment. But, I wanted to see a bit because Alex Le May from the show is going to be on Paranormal Detour, the paranormal show I follow closely. But, poor Alex got Covid so she wont be on this weekend, but hopefully soon.

* Paranormal Detour - I don't talk about this here typically because it's... does it count as TV show? It's primarily a paranormal livestream on twitch from allegedly haunted locations. It's by Detune who is biracial, pansexual and they/any. He does edit the clips down into youtube videos. The show is huge on Twitch, but isn't popping off on youtube yet.

* I've started S2 of Surreal Estate since I've got Hulu back. Oh, and I've started the most recent season of Fargo because it's got Joe Keery on it. I am excited to keep watching that. I've not seen previous seasons, but have been told it's fine to watch the seasons individually.

I know very little about the show. I didn't even know the premise! I just know I could not get through the movie and it was one of those things were people kept trying to get me to see it because my family is Norwegian. I kept getting 'this is about your people' at me.

Some people think Minnesota culture and accent is Nordic culture and accent and it's really not. I was raised on the eastern seaboard of the US and probably speak more Norwegian than the average Minnesotan. Especially the way the culture was satirized in the film, that wasn't anything I vibed with. People were weirdly intense at me about it. The bit of the Joe Keery season I've seen so far looks promising, though.

Usually when I see Norway or Norwegian culture discussed in the US it's pure BS made up to fuel culture war stuff, but let's not get deep into that here. It would just be nice, yanno, if people would fact check stuff that it's easy to fact check.

All I've seen of Minnesota has been from a train window. Next time I take the Empire Builder line it's actually a spot in North Dakota I want to stop at for Nordic heritage reasons.
