God damn, I am loving The Masked Dancer. Totally obsessed. Nah, just kidding.

I have given a couple of movies an all-important second watch and found them better than first impression. Green Book. It's actually pretty outstanding all the way through. The performances are off-the-charts. I think, first time around, I was overly influenced by the ending which is so -...

Pink is a very suggestive color. It's all very naughty.

Tanya Roberts was back alive for an hour and a half earlier today. But now dead again. :handshake:

Blackpink, if you break the word down, is actually two colors. :handshake:

I have reached the point with Your Honor that I would describe as "Yeah, okay." It's fine. I'll keep watching. I suspect the guy who supports justice for blacks will end up better off than the guy who beat a helpless bird to death with a golf club. That's not a spoiler - just a hunch. But...

I am looking to reboot my sports betting activities. I am going to get back to modelling, starting with MLB - with an eye to betting in earnest on MLB 2022. Other sports will follow. At least the research will follow. Whether or not I find good angles remains to be seen. I'll be looking...

So there's this show I've been hearing about for awhile: PEN15. I haven't seen it but consider it an outstanding name for a show. PEN15. I feel like I should watch it just on principle. Apparently it's about the angst of 13 year-old girls. That's definitely not my thing. But it's a comedy...

I'm a little stunned how great my investments/retirement fund are doing. I guess I just assumed that markets would suck in these times of worldwide unemployment and business closures. I would have been happy if I was breaking even over the covid months. I was a bit afraid to check and hadn't...

He's a good actor and good at acting like he's playing piano like that.

Does Mahershala Ali really play piano like that?

I used that expression yesterday. It is what it is. Jen was asking me to do an odd job for her and, in course of discussing timing and implications, that came out of my mouth: "It is what it is." I immediately hated myself.

There's a song I've been listening to my whole life - literally - and I finally got around to looking up a lyric I was never sure of. Turns out, it's this: He who shies At such a prize Is not worth a maravedi Be so kind To bear in mind Faint heart never won fair lady But then of course I had...

I watched the new Pixar movie, Soul. Overall it's pretty good. It has some thoughtful stretches - and also some artistic flourishes I really liked. It stresses that music is a really good thing which I guess I go along with. It goes for it with some big existential ideas and the approach...

the fuck is a maravedi?

The guy from second shift that I share my machine with, I just found out yesterday, he gots the covids.

People are all just bundles of stuff.

I finished it. It was Let Them All Talk. starring Meryl Streep, directed by Steven Soderbergh. I thought it might go somewhere but it did not. 3.4 out of 10.

I'm watching this movie and it's a bit of a slog. I'm not loving it but I don't want to abort. I just want to know how it ends. So I sit down and I see I'm at the hour and 10 minute point - with 40 minutes to go. I watch for 20 minutes. Okay good, we must be getting there. I check. I'm...
