It was too bad that the White Sox lost, but I still had a great time at the ballpark today and got to see a three-run homer (Andrew Benintendi’s second home run of the game)!

I watched Flow on the plane home. It was beautifully done and I definitely recommend it, but I was so stressed out by all the close calls that little cat had!

Just finished listening to “The Sea and the Sky” on Audible. Good sound design and acting. Interesting story about deep sea exploration on one of Saturn’s moons. It was more melancholy than I was in the mood for, but I’m glad I listened.

Just watched the action-thriller “G20” on Prime. I recommend it if you want to watch Viola Davis be an awesome badass for a couple hours.
