Woke up at 3 a.m. this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so I made some coffee and read some James Tiptree until that stomach was full, and then I popped in the second dvd of Adventure Time The Complete Third Season (courtesy of the library--but, unfortunately, the only season they have) and spent some quality time with Jake the Dog and Finn the Human.
This is one weird show. (E.g. "Balloon music is the future!") I was thoroughly enjoying the shows, but the ante was really upped with Episode 23, "Another Way." Clown nurses with some kind of weird foot fetish . . . and that's just where the episode started. It also made me laugh out loud when Finn was crossing the river. There aren't too many shows that actually make me laugh out loud these days. So a shout out to writers Tom Herpich and Bert Youn.
I also particularly liked "Thank You," also written by Tom Herpich, in which Snow Golem befriends a Firewolf pup . . . even though the Firewolves are his mortal enemies. (Fire, snow.) That one actually managed to be touching as well as funny.
And now I'm watching "Dad's Dungeon" (written by Larry Leichliter), which got another laugh out of me with Jake's "Alright, I'll try to turn into a cheetah farting. I can't do the spots." You probably need the visuals for the complete effect, though.
Oh, man. What a great show. I need some more of this.
Meanwhile, remember these words of wisdom from Finn: "If I didn't cry when people die, I'd have a cold butt for a heart."
