I wanna see
- acknowledgment of the fraught history Lapis and Bismuth (and Jasper and Garnet) share
- more Bismuth generally
- the Diamonds dealing with the damage they've caused, starting with Blue and Garnet
- cute Beach City episodes featuring new [-to-Earth] Gems
- the Rose Quartzes out of their bubbles and the Famethyst helping the Zoomans adjust to life on Earth
- lots of the Famethyst with Amethyst and Jasper
- One-eyed Pearl make some friends

Since I know this wasn't the series finale I'm super excited, 'cause this means the show is entering messy better-society/relationships-building territory of the sort I love.

If it had been the series finale I'd've been disappointed, and honestly it does feel like they were rushing to an if-need-be series-ending for this season. The show's future was on the line more than usual this season, and it probably won't be renewed in some countries, so I get it. But still.

...wow, I was wrong about everything!

In my defense, they were clearly preparing for this to be an if-need-be series finale, which I didn't expect.

(I'm really glad it isn't the series finale, though. More on that later once I've collected my thoughts.)

I finally read the second half of In The Night Garden-- much more quickly than the first half! It's possible they're meant to be read right after each other?

Anyway, this set of nested stories gripped me much more than the first one. Maybe due to all the lesbian monster pirates?

I'm calling it now: they'll accidentally bring White's Pearl with them back to Earth, frustrated antics will lead to Steven learning how to heal her (paving the way for healing the corrupted gems, though that will be harder), and she (and Jade!) will eventually join the Off Colors. (But not before she spends some time with Cat Steven, of course.)

Every morning this week I've woken up disappointed that my dreams didn't live up to Monday's dream of a Sailor Stars season of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (which was mostly musical numbers by redeemed villains from past seasons).

Maybe that was when I hit my peak, dream-wise? I guess I'd be okay with that.

(I should add that I've never actually seen PGSM or any of the Sailor Moon musicals; I only know them because of the Internet.)

A particularly shameful set of file modification times.

I've been programming in Java all week, and today I both used a do-while loop _and_ implemented binary search. Have I... gone back in time 20 years...?

Sometimes I feel lucky that I didn't accidentally choose a really popular name, but, on the other hand, am I effectively just a compromise between the many Claires and the many Karas?

"Debbie, your cleric has been raised to the 8th level. I think it's time that you establish a place of worship so as to attract 2d10 fanatically loyal followers. They'll serve without pay as long as you don't change deities and/or alignments.

Technically your place of worship only has to be a 2000 square foot building with an altar/shrine/chapel/etc., but I recommend a 2500 square foot fortified stronghold if you can get one, to work towards those 9 silver pieces per inhabitant at 9th level."
