Ssalefish GSO First Look #278 for 8.31.22

5th Week Warning!

Stephen’s So-Called Emo Life!

  • Hanging Rock State Park - about an hour northwest of town, we did a six mile hike to warm up for going to Zion National Park in Utah next month.

  • Hokkaido Sushi - three “doors” down towards Wendover from the Shoppes on the Curve (where we’re located), they don’t have an all-you-can-eat option, but me and the folks on the shop staff ate our fill for cheaper than the normal all-in price at other places, and it was delicious!

  • Bunheads - an Amy Sherman-Palladino diamond in the rough on Hulu, a half season flop from 2012, between Gilmore Girls and the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It reminds me of Brian Michael Bendis espousing the virtues of Lorelai and Rory’s banter and the way it influenced the dialogue in Ultimate Spider-Man and New Avengers and Powers.
