(prompted by seeing this in my feed this morning)

When he was in DC, James Acaster made a joke about The Streets that made me laugh.

That’s when I learned there’s a difference between being an Anglophile by virtue of watching BBC America (nearly else in the crowd) and being an Anglophile by virtue of reading import music magazines (me)

#AD2DC apparently

A weird few weeks to be a DC-based NBA fan

@emilystjams.bsky.social thanks for an excuse to have a mini Simpsons marathon today 👍

(getting in early just in case)

Living on a neighborhood road means fingers crossed that we get plowed 2.5 days after the primary routes.

I’ve shoveled 3x before 5pm. Full heavy job each time. I’m sure I’ll need one more pass before bed.

No Jokic, but there are worse places to be on Thursday before a blizzard

My mom LOVED Sinners, enough to care whether it would get Oscar noms.

I’ve been preaching caution, considering the Academy’s history. Boy was I wrong.

I wrote my undergrad thesis on 28 Days Later all the way back in 2004.

The fact that a) these sequels exist, b) they’re good, c) people are going to see them is WILD to me. Good wild, but wild nonetheless.

Taking out a medium-sized loan to afford Taskmaster tickets in DC this week…

We adopted my MIL’s cat in December after her funeral. Tonight, she came down to the couch for the first time, then curled up next to me while I’m watching basketball.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

We’re 2 for 2 now on Americans/realistic. What a world!

I finally got it working “normally” from my iPad.

I’m very interested in this if it worked. But it’s basically unusable for me in this configuration. Outside of the normal streamers, even Hoopla and Kanopy are much better options for now.

Trying @letterboxd.social video rental today. The verdict? It currently sucks.

I couldn’t chromecast from an iPhone, and my Sony tv is too old to support Airplay.

So, I bought an Apple TV — no biggie. But the stream disconnects from airplay every 2-7 mins (and you can’t mirror screen).

My wife is very proud that her stocking stuffer ideas are up in my office already

It’s odd that the “good guys” in this show now just shoot people

After a week of funeral arrangements, my wife shooed me out of the house to go see Wemby. It wasn’t a priority but I’m glad it worked out.

It always sucks how fast the task you’ve been avoiding goes once you finally start.

Shoutout to the ticket guy who texted me this morning, with a line about how how the NBA Cup final will be historic with a first-time winner guaranteed.

I rediscovered the Wugazi album. Merry Christmas to me.

Why are all the tickets to see Taskmaster live in DC $400 or more? lol
