my boss is going on vacation for two weeks in March time to make a list of all the TV shows and movies to catch up on
was all set to watch the next episode of Severance and forgot IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY

THEN: OMG THAT WAS LIKE FIVE-SIX YEARS AGO

5. A Fish Called Wanda
I'm glad Kevin Kline
got the Oscar for his role
he was really great
4. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Disney really should
adapt stories that I like
(GOAT VARIATIONS)
(this one is for @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social)
(Kevin Kline was in this, and he was also in.....)
My goal is that the final movie I watch this year (because I'm already at 78) will have Kevin Costner in it, so I will have come FULL CIRCLE

I identify
with Salieri more than
