I turned on Apple Photos shared library to share photos with my wife. I’m always nervous, so I have my full library downloaded to my MacBook. With shared library, I can no longer store it all on my MacBook. Time to nervously turn on Optimize Mac Storage.

I’m thinking of getting a MacBook Pro when the next cycle is unleashed. 2023? Main reason is so this excellent 2020 MacBook Air can replace one of our older family computers. I might do the unthinkable and not go with a fresh install on the new computer.

If you’re consistent, I guess this’ll happen to everyone who plays daily.

I need to fire up an email sending service for an app I’m building. Mailgun is probably more dev friendly. SendGrid has email marketing if I need it down the road. They both track the heck out of you.

Is there a reliable option out there with no tracking?

Amazon Prime says:

More ad-free music, increasing from 2 million to over 100 million songs in shuffle mode

I wondered what that meant in practice, so I logged in via my browser. I searched for Pink Floyd’s The Wall. I can listen to the album, but only on shuffle. So strange.

I turned on importing my Letterboxd posts into micro.blog, but I think its just a bit too loud. I would really like a feed where these consumed items were small little posts interleaved with regular posts. So much so that I consider writing my own blog engine from time to time.

Gold Rush.

Kentucky Maid.

SIX night.

Black Adam, 2022 - ★★★

Do I have to rate these things? I dunno. Don't love rating things!

I tend to like The Rock. Lots of destruction in this movie, and yet more classic CGI battles 🙄. I never really felt like Kahndaq was a real place, but did I ever feel like Sekovia was a real place? In any case, it was generally entertaining if you like these sorts of movies.

No No: A Dockumentary, 2014 - ★★★★

I've always been a big baseball fan, so this interested me more than most. The LSD no hitter was something I've read about, but hearing the full story on Dock Ellis's life (mostly in baseball) was quite interesting. I will say there are two major life events that were never resolved for me by the end of the documentary, and that is my one disappointment.

Bibimbap night!

Last Word

Passing on my concert love to my middlest and her good friend. 🎵

Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, 2016 - ★★★★

This was an interesting watch for me. I've heard my parents and aunt talk about Debbie Reynolds a lot, but this gave me more of an idea how big of a star she actually was. Between Reynolds and Carrie Fisher, what a fascinating history.

Hocus Pocus 2, 2022 - ★½

I read a review about this movie that compared this and the original to a Disney made-for-Disney-Channel movie. I have to agree. I'm confused why the original has become such a classic. On the plus side, this is more of the same!

Gonna try to turn on the letterboxd-micro.blog connection now. Sorry in advance for any mistakes I make!

Last night. Rachel Eckroth with my honey. 🎵

It’s been well over 18 months and I don’t think I’ll ever figure out this vehicle’s battery problems.

Based on tonight’s online liquor order, this will be my first ever winter of cocktails. (Like real cocktails.)

Did you know Flea has studied jazz trumpet performance?

I feel bad, but I had no idea that They Might Be Giants’ “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” … is a cover song.

It was Detroit style night. I like it too much.

Last minute date with myself.
