Went and a saw the 40th Anniversary of Back to the Future in IMAX earlier today. One of my favorite things about rewatching movies on an large screen is how your eyes are drawn to different parts of the frame you might not normally notice.

Go Bruins! After four straight losses to start the season, UCLA is now tied for 3rd place in the Big Ten! #Rover
And Southern Cal lost, which is even better.

What a cast! I processed dialogue from every single one of them, and they were all amazing! The casting team really hit it out of the park on "Win or Lose"!

Spent most of today setting up my new phone. It's unfortunate how much stuff just doesn't transfer between devices, and how many new settings there are with a new OS. I haven't even tried out any of the new features yet.

Despite an initial hiccup, I managed to order my phone through the discount webpage and get a delivery date of Friday. Now back to bed for a bit.

This is my 18th year with the UCLA Marching Band. I joined the band when I was 18 years old. Which means I've now been doing this for half my life!

Decided to rewatch Jaws last night. I'm still blown away that Spielberg was 27 when he made it.

I work with such lovely people. Twice in the past week, a coworker has seen me waiting for the bus and given me a ride so I didn't have to wait.

I usually watch Jaws around July 4th every year, but this year I decided to watch "Inside Jaws, A Filmumentary" by @filmumentaries.bsky.social
It's a lovely combination of clips from the film, behind the scenes footage, interviews, and trivia, all expertly put together.

Some days at work there are delightful things that I never imagined I'd experience.
Yesterday: Watched animator Glen Keane draw Ariel from The Little Mermaid.
Today: Played an impromptu game of HORSE on the basketball court with a director.
