Last night.
A bit of a stream (heh) of consciousness on the streaming pendulum.
Finally wrapped up Ted Lasso. You can talk about it in front of me now. 🤣
Another good oral history: Conan O’Brien’s First Year at “Late Night”
A rainy day, so we’re thinking Ghostbusters.
My friend Nate’s Oscar round up is quite a worthwhile read. It’s a great jumping-off point for your movie lists, both shorts and feature length.
I probably should make watching Prince’s Super Bowl halftime show an annual event. Chills every time.
As it’s coming to Broadway, via Minnesota, I suppose I should finally see the Purple Rain movie?
The family watched The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The bits I saw seemed pretty good, but I just couldn’t keep myself awake for it! I guess I should get to bed. 😅
For the rest of the month I’m going to try things like Play (https://marcosatanaka.com/#play) and Matter as a way to consume, adding things that I run into via blogs or conversations. That and the feed reader. Maybe I’ll get rid of some of these tabs as well…
Since I went Apple TV a few years ago I frequently have to re-login to apps. Logged in to ESPN to watch a game yesterday, force login again today. Very annoying. I’m at the point of either switching platforms or buying all new gen ATVs (mine’s only one back). Others tell me they never have problems.
Was surprised to get to the last episode of Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones and see nearby city, Albert Lea, Minnesota, featured prominently. Wild!
Anyone have a recommendation for blue light blocking eyeglass clip ons? I have a prescription and would like to try them in the evening for my wayfarer type glasses.
When do we get the Mark Zuckerberg episode of Hot Ones?
Surprised myself in self-discovering that at most times if I’m alone I’d rather watch a pro video game streamer’s feed (currently Fortnite) than a sporting event.
This is five years old, but I just ran into it and it’s fascinating: Last of the Iron Lungs.
Honestly, if you’re a Floyd fan I recommend Brit Floyd. First time and the music and light show was all outstanding. Great Gig in the Sky was shivery, as it should be.
Into the Woods at the Guthrie.
A sadly limited list of theaters showing Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX.
I grew up on the Metrodome, so this is absolutely mind bending.
Let the fast and furious marching band season begin!
We got more than we bargained for at the Twins game last night!
Lucked into something.
