I’m not going to do this with every comics—just like I had said with TV—I’ll reserve these for finishing series1. But since I just started doing these, I wanted to...
This was my number one most anticipated album of the year and for the most part, it delivered. There are no huge hits, I don’t think, like his first two...
I’m not an artist, writer, designer, or photographer—nor have I ever been any good at those things. The only things I’ve ever considered myself exceptional at are: math (but since leaving...
The entire time watching this, two words were stuck in my head: intimate and ethereal. I think a lot of that had to do with the way Coppola used the...
I had super high expectations for this show based on things I heard about Le Bureau, the French show it was based on. There were a lot of interesting storylines...
Had a pretty good idea what I was getting myself into, but it was still fun. Every time I thought things were going to wrap up, they continued to push—and...
This one isn’t for me and I won’t be continuing on past the first episode. As I mentioned in foofaraw Monday, it’s not that surprising to me. There are some...
There’s been a discussion—to put it mildly—happening within the indieweb circles I follow closely. I haven’t had the mental energy to write up my full thoughts1 and adding to the...
I don’t think I’ve seen Poetry on any top ten album lists of 2024, let alone sitting at the #1 spot, so I thought I’d give some love to my #1...
I’ve been tinkering with my Pika blog to make it feel more expansive and aligned to how I think about things and the types of things I want to post on...
This being only three stars could partially be my own fault. I watched it across two sittings, with my puppy going crazy, and my mind elsewhere—yesterday focused on building my...
Vol.003I know I just did these, but I have a bunch of stuff on my mind, mostly things I need to get in order, so I figured I’d try to...
Apps that have stayed the same:• Albums • Safari • Drafts • Are.na • Mail • Calendar • Overcast Apps added to homescreen• Obsidian • Trying for the 47th time...
I mentioned on Mastodon that I brought back my notebooks a bit. The one on the left was in use for awhile and was used entirely for Grubs. Now I’ve...
I’ve already posted a bit about this one, but since I seem to have come up with the bright idea to make these images and build a little media library...
Just finished the delightful scene of beavers debating—there’s tons of lovely imaginative scenes like that throughout the book—the cooperative nature, stating each others arguments back in good faith, shared facts,...
This was the release of the week for me over on foofaraw: “It took a few songs for this to click for me, but eventually I started getting hints of...
I had a blast watching this one. It’s a bit of a roller coaster, going from sultry, to hilarious, to anxiety inducing, and finally, quite depressing. When things start to...
I liked this, but also found it a bit disappointing. It probably didn’t help that we recently watched the Coppola version and the Netflix miniseries, so I had both of...
This was such a brutal show1. They really didn’t hold anything back or shy away from the pure violence and brutality that I imagine was pretty close to reality for...
I’m not going to be doing this for every episode of tv I watch; maybe I’ll try to do it it for full seasons though. I thought this season two...
It’s a fine, fun romp of an action flick. Not much meat on the bones or character development, but I didn’t expect much in that regard anyways. Sometimes you need...
I’m not Jewish and my Polish family emigrated before the war, but boy did it still feel relatable. I’ve also never been one to really think about or care much...
I had a lot of fun with this one. Nicholas Cage seemed like he was having an absolute blast playing Longlegs and the “intuitive” nature of Lee Harker played by...
I’ve of two minds when it comes to this movie. I appreciate it went in a bit of a different direction than the first two which were in that farmhouse...
One of the cool things about mornings in Napa is seeing hot air balloons out and about. This was the closest I’ve ever seen them to our new apartment and...
Kev asked the question (awhile back now) why do people have multiple blogs1 and while I think he hit on one of the reasons—bifurcating topics to not annoy/flood peoples feeds, whether...
I was going through my YouTube history and the NPR Music YouTube channel to put this page together and two things really stood out: 1. How small a % of...
About a decade ago, I did something to my neck. I was lifting weight, doing a bench press, and then felt something pop. My neck was in pain for awhile...
