Just a little grey duck in a big grey world. He/him. (Not to be mistaken for ho/hum.) My main textual output is (or should be, if I'm behaving myself) over at my not-a-blog: greyduck.net

Too bad the video links all point to the-bad-site accounts. But, hopefully the "no casualties" report is actually the truth.

I'd like to thank MusicBee and the random playlist I selected in it this morning for reminding me that "Suffragette City" remains an all-time top-tier body-mover of a song.

Pretty much the only thing I miss about the-other-place is that occasionally I could just gripe directly at whoever was monitoring a brand's or vendor's official social media account and sometimes it would even make something useful happen. I can't imagine DisconnectUnwise is on Blewski.

Another Day was weird and visually janky and overall disappointing, plus it spent WAY too much time on trying to seed a spinoff that was never, ever happening. World infuriated me on several levels, despite the banger of a title song from Garbage. The writing, the characterization, just bunk.

Goldeneye: "Yep, Brosnan is every bit as good at this as you all thought he'd be." TND: "Let's push the format just a bit, see what we can do to modernize it... but not *too* much." TWINE/DAD: "Eh, fukkit, who cares."

As if today wasn't Monday enough, I had to tell the nice Mormon lads at my front door *twice* that no, I really didn't want to have a religious conversation with them. No, I mean it. Please have a nice evening, be safe out there, *goodbye*.

... okay you know what, a well-played ukulele rendition probably *would* improve that song. (It would be my least favorite song on the record but "In Too Deep" exists, much to my chagrin.)

I don't know. Because Mom rarely cooked. It was up to Sis and I to take care of ourselves more often than not. We ate a *lot* of grilled cheese, mac-and-cheese, and such.

Oh, not the more obvious Brosnan!Bond choice, well played. (Weirdly still relevant all these years later... for good or ill, probably ill.) And that Batman Beyond movie, superb.

Oh gods, "15 movie trailers in a trenchcoat" is the most accurate summary of that movie I've ever read. Superb. The only other one of your picks I've seen is Valerian, and... YEAH.

Ah. I see it's gotten worse since even this morning when I last checked. Lovely. Not sure when the frell we're going to do our groceries. 3:30am isn't a good time for buses or trains or grocery stores.

Oooh, whereabouts were you? I spent about a year living partway up the Skagit River valley (our house was a bit downriver of Concrete) and I grew up right around Brewster over on the other side of the Cascades.

Ah yes, today's definitely a "quickly skim, then close my Blewski browser session" kind of day. Not that I don't adore y'all, but I can only take so much of You Know What before the anxiety spikes take me out of commission.

They're either literally not reading your responses or they think you're doing a bit. I mean. You ARE doing a bit, but not in a "just kidding" way.

This. Do not talk about inciting violence, even in jest. Do not talk about committing crimes, even in jest. Do not talk about anything that can be remotely construed by bad-faith actors as a violation of some obscure 1778 law reserved for horse thieves. They *will* use this shit to hurt you.

If there's one thing we USians love, it's Team Partisanship. If there's a second thing we love, it's Cults of Personality. Neither of these need to be rooted in anything resembling a rational look at the downsides thereof.

Exactly. It's physical proof that a series of expensive set pieces absolutely cannot carry an entire movie on their own.

It's not so much "bad" as it is "utterly uninteresting." Johnson has the *ability* to carry a movie with the power of his charm but since he's playing a "heavy," that won't work. And good actors like Hodge, Shahi, Brosnan, et al are wasted in a movie that has no ideas or creative spark whatsoever.

It's not even going to crest 80F today but we turned the AC on anyway because the humidity is matching the temperature and NO.

It took a small blood sacrifice (drew blood on my right index finger, making typing & mouse-clicking FUN) but the new pantry shelves are assembled & placed. We're making this house our home more and more. Huzzah!

So much wasted talent, so much. It's the most dull, lifeless supers movie I've seen in ages, and that sucks because Aldis Hodge looks *superb* in it. (As if he ever doesn't, but you know what I mean.)

Right? When you *look* at it, you think "this must lose all meaning due to throwing out half of the letters as you speak" but in actual conversation it just *works* (provided the listener is familiar with the contraction in question). Language is *awesome*.

I did get in and remembered that oh hey, the hunt log could get me some eckspeez. Which it did, and my Monk is now level 48. Woo. Gonna push toward at least 49 with the hunt stuff this weekend and maybe get ready to tackle more MSQ.

Thank you! I usually (not currently, due to logistical reasons) have a hummingbird feeder out. Some months ago back at the apartment I even got some good slo-mo video of a visitor to the old feeder. They're so pretty but so territorial!
