It’s been all Keurig pods because I’m lazy in the morning, afternoon, and evening. And because I haven’t ordered any quality beans lately.

Because of all the Keurig pods I’ve been making.

A vicious circle I am in.

Godzilla vs Kong is a great Kaiju movie.

I really enjoy it, even though it’s not a “good” movie.

The Southern California sky was quite nice this past week.

Keep in your mind
Things that make you go “meh”
Make others go “amazing”

Doesn’t mean one is worse
Just different

This photo looks amazing.

I’m thinking of an updated Stargate universe where the Jaffa wear this colorful armor instead of the drab grey of the movie or TV series.

The sort of thinking that goes on when we don’t think we’re thinking.

And we are never not thinking even if we think we are not thinking; we are thinking.

Just say a commercial with a pair of boots that had a zippered pouch on them. #ShoeFannyPak

Sometimes another person’s lack of interest in your current situation is more about their current situation (and their availability) than your current situation.

i.e.:

It’s not always about you.

The White Lotus is not a good show. It is a show that is just odd enough to grab my curiosity to see where it goes.

Today is my birthday. I’m in the mountains and relaxing and enjoying my time.

Kate is a fantastic revenge movie.

Excellent action, beautifully shot, with a main character that actually grows throughout the movie.

Listening to the Tenet soundtrack and I legit thought it was a Hans Zimmer soundtrack when watching the movie, but it is actually a Ludwig Goransson soundtrack.

Seems like I need to find some more Goransson soundtracks to listen to.

Really intrigued by the Wheel of Time trailer Amazon Prime released. Looks like it could be a good adaptation.

This Fall Foliage Tracker that Moss and Fog shared looks like a great tool.

There’s a forest fire about 5 miles away from our house. It’s a little nerve wrecking to hear the water tankers, helocoptors, and other aircraft fighting the fire flying overhead.

Thankfully, we’re okay. There was an evacuation scare when the fire first started yesterday.

Current Mood: A little melancholy and introspective

Right Where It Belongs by Nine Inch Nails fits the bill perfectly.

Dystopian Fact

If you can read Ed Yong’s story and not recgonise that we are living in a Young Adult fiction dystopian world, then please tell me how.

Pandemics end. But this one is not yet over, and especially not globally. Just 16 percent of the world’s population is fully vaccinated. Many countries, where barely 1 percent of people have received a single dose, are “in for a tough year of either lockdowns or catastrophic epidemics,” Adam Kucharski, the infectious-disease modeler, told me. The U.S. and the U.K. are further along the path to endemicity, “but they’re not there yet, and that last slog is often the toughest,” he added. “I have limited sympathy for people who are arguing over small measures in rich countries when we have uncontrolled epidemics in large parts of the world.”

I constantly have trouble understanding why more people do not understand that we are currently living in a dystopian storyline. I suspect the only reason people don’t realize this is that people from the United States are so selfish they don’t realize how much worse off the rest of the world is compared to us.
