This was bound to be a crazy day from start to finish. Firstly, there was all the travel back to Prague and generally hanging out with a lot of people. And I am not good with people, whether it's family, friends, teachers or classmates or total strangers. Personally, I'm kinda used to it now, but my anxiety deems it necessary to give me an attack or two just in case I forget.
Secondly, I'm also not good at baking, apparently, and I'm able to spoil even the easiest chocolate coating ever. Hence the liquid lunch. But hey, at least I haven't burnt the gingerbread, so by the late afternoon I set out to meet my friend with whom I'll be spending the rest of the day. And night. And possibly many months after.
This was my first official netflix & chill with another person in another's flat. Freaky. And awkward. But that's all human interactions for me, so that's probably not surprising at all. What WAS surprising was the ending of the fourth season of Orange Is The New Black and it made me SO MAD I am still not over it (There won't be any spoilers.) And I won't be watching the start of the fourth season, nor continuing with the series, because what they did in the last four episodes was absolutely fucked up and couldn't make me care less about this series.
And I think it's sad. Don't get me wrong, by default OITNB is not something I would usually watch, it's not a genre I go for, but I was happy to see such diverse show and a show that is dealing with so many different ways of how your life can turn upside down and you end up in prison. I liked the way it portrayed the world as one grey mess, I liked how it showed that in many cases it's impossible to pinpoint the "good" side and the "evil" side of things. How it presented the ways one might be pushed to do something against the law. The world is complex and people too. (Not to mention that there are very little shows featuring that many women.) But I don't think it's no longer done well.
What to say. They killed of one of the best characters of the show and their death was absolutely unnecessary and - no surprise at all - it angered a lot of people. It was done purely for shock value, they could kill off ANYONE of the characters in their place and it would have served the same purpose. But no, they decided to go for that one. And did it very poorly. There were ways how to get rid of that character instead, if they wanted the actress gone, but man... this was bad. And the main plot regarding Piper (the main character) was dumb and the finale and the giant cliffhanger at the very end just made me want to punch the screen in rage. Like I said. Completely unnecessary, completely dumb and not worth your time. I will not watch the beginning of the season, because it is not worth my time and I will not continue with the series, because the writing is just bad. And I recommend you do the same - the first three seasons of OITNB are excellent and are so worth checking out, but do not bother with the fourth season. Just don't.
At the end of it all, we bettered our mood with some cartoons and sweets and sleep. My friend always falls asleep during films it's almost a tradition now xD. And I have probably a place to live for couple of years, hopefully. And keys to that place. Thanks all the Lords and Ladies.
