++ I recently found out that costumer designer Shawna Trpcic has passed away. She's worked on various projects, but I mostly knew her from Whedon shows, particularly that of Firefly since I listened to an episode commentary with her featured where she discussed the process of the costumes for that specific episode among other behind-the-scenes information. So even though I didn't follow her closely over the years, this news was still quite a shock.
++ Reddit is a site that I previously was hesitant on visiting that much in the past because I heard it was a cesspool, and while it can be that for sure so can most sites, to be honest. It just depends on the subreddit. Reddit operates similarly to that of the old school forum/message boards with subreddits have individual moderators, which is part of why I've been finding myself visiting there more frequently as of late. Although the site itself has its fair share of issues, it's also a great way of finding different communities and people with opinions, thoughts, and places of discussion that isn't so easily found elsewhere online, including useful resources, informative advice and news updates. I don't have an account there, I prefer to lurk and browse, but I do like visiting daily for these particular things, from fandom to just general news and information.
++ Watching Make Some Noise on Dropout.tv has been my highlight of the last week. It's a spin-off little game show from its own game show, Game Changer, where both are similar in the format of Whose Line although I'd argue that Make Some Noise is a bit more of that in its nature due to its prompts. And just like Game Changer, it's absolutely hilariously chaotic. I'm sure some have already seen some clips floating about (the Times New Roman vs. Comic Sans one, and the most recently Brennan Lee Mulligan's Trump-as-Sauron impression being the most circulated that I've seen), and trust me it's this unhinged and then some. Here is a random compilation of some moments from season two just to get a bit of a glimpse of the shenanigans that occur.
