"Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning" felt at parts surprisingly like "Ethan Hunt for Red October".

Hard same!

I just dropped a decade thinking about the generational geometry and am now at risk of crumbling into dust. flic.kr/p/7kU9MF

I had been at a Southern Regional Education Board meeting a few years back and the phrase "y'all's curricula vitae" was spoken and 👩‍🍳 ˣ

I know it was not quite "Songs in the key of G", but he was a pretty solid clef.

I really was on my way out 6 hours ago, before sitting down to watch an episode and do a laundry transfer.

🖼️ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(While I also felt this way about BSG [all of it!!] I believe they over-represented the amount of time it would take to binge all of it.)

S2 ended with sitters Ian McKellan and Alan Cumming, but then S3 STARTS with Stanley Tucci, Indira Varma, and Freddie Highmore which feels like a show hitting its stride!

"It is possible I have fallen into a Portlandia style rabbit hole", is something I said 6 hours ago. (I did *some* work here!)

Anyhow, I delight in when subjects have that moment of "Jeez, is that how I look?!" even as internally understand the shame and horror of not being able to get a rendering right. AND when subjects choose one that the artistic judges are like, "yeah, no."?

Our episode on competitive cooking shows was pretty memorable inasmuch as toward the end I recommended a show that I admit I worried was maybe gently bordering on obscenity.

Knowing precision halving is the whole battle.

...Despite stopping my subscription a while back due to cablecard complications, I still use my TiVo peanut remote daily as it has the best responsiveness in terms of interaction with my television. (Also I still periodically watch my previously recorded movies etc. ever queued to the good parts!)

...Maybe they wanted to call it "Ornate Orifice" and were like, "too close to the nose".

Oh and abandon the Mermaid Merkin Merchants? Harsh, brah.

I was waxing poetic about a few of the things I miss there yesterday and forgot the fact that my rent and utilities were half of what they are now even as I had central air (!) on constantly? Impossible. But likely.

Also the Saraga. And the library! And the canal! And drivethru gyros! And y'all!

I don't wanna give you more to dread but if you need more talking points for folks more inclined to think about their own bottom lines, this is something I have noticed in terms of relative shifts.
