[Rev. Rye]

Currently watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Fast-paced, witty dialogue, it turns out they do still make them like they used to. And with fewer taboos like the Production Code to have to deal with.

Also, it turns out that in a past life, I might have been a butch Jewish woman from Queens who may or may not have been a lesbian. How else do you explain the fact that Susie also wears a Greek fisherman's cap all the time and geeks out over ancient blues and jazz like Charley Patton and Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Seven? [Note: you may need to watch Season 2, Episode 3 to get that little joke.] How many other people do you know like that? At least this time around, I live in a world where you can buy Patton's collected works for $29 (and on a medium less likely to shatter with the slightest force than shellac) and keep them on your hard drive indefinitely.
