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.
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. 🎵
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.
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.
My view most days and why I invest in home audio. With winter coming I only grow more thankful. The time is 3:30 PM here in Minnesota.
So if I add a new feed to micro.blog as “Add posts to Micro.blog timeline”, will it only include new posts from now forward? Or will it backfill? Does it work the same if I set the feed to import into my micro.blog? /cc @help
Read: Beautiful Country: A Memoir of An Undocumented Childhood by Qian Julie Wang 📚
This was really an interesting page-turner for me.
Related to my post about the pretty album thing we’re working on, I share with you Shfl. It’s a music recommendation tool that relies on random results for its recommendations. It also has reviews and guides and you can make your own lists.
Related to my previous posts about album search, we’re getting somewhere. Certainly more to come.
Related to finishing Four Thousand Weeks, I’m pretty excited that my my Kindle highlights came through to my notes app perfectly via the Obsidian Kindle plugin.
Finished reading: Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman 📚
Yeah, that was good. Though I never really internalize books like this. Gonna process my Kindle highlights, though, and hope for the best.
Just now realizing that Pink Floyd’s “Echoes” predates The Phantom of the Opera. Apparently it was a whole thing when Phantom premiered. 🎵
I picked up a Baronfig Confidant notebook for my nightly journal. I’m not as impressed with it as I hoped I’d be. Part of that may be my pen. What are you using to write in your Baronfig? (Note, I sadly don’t write at a desk, but on my lap in bed. If that matters.)
