Two sentences each on some movies we’ve watched recently
I don’t have much in depth to say about some of these, so I’ll limit myself to two sentences each! :: Happiness for Beginners: This cheerful and utterly unsurprising rom-com, which unfolds on a hiking trip, is worth watching for some … Continue reading

It’s Friday morning, I’m taking the day off for some personal matters and later on attending the Erie County Fair, and right now I’m sipping coffee and thinking, “What’s a quickie topic I can write a post about?” And last … Continue reading

Parrots being trained to say naughty words is an underused comedy bit, I think. From NYPD Blue: the squad is now under the command of Sergeant Gibson, who is a pretty annoying dude who think he’ll keep his parrot at work. … Continue reading
Viewing Diary: February
Here are some random notes and thoughts on things we watched in February: Teevee: If you’re not watching Abbott Elementary, I really don’t know what you’re doing with your life. I was getting kind of tired of the whole “workplace documentary” … Continue reading
Recent Watching….
I’ve drifted away from tracking things we’ve watched in recent years here, so I’m going to start getting back to it. Teevee: Kaleidoscope (Netflix): This is a heist show that tells a pretty standard heist story: a guy wants to … Continue reading
“I’m sorry, but that is just incorrect enough for you to lose!”
In the course of keeping my father company lately, I’ve been watching a bit of Jeopardy* lately. I enjoy it as much as ever, though something happened earlier this week that annoyed me. First, let me say that I’ve noticed over the … Continue reading →
