MISCELLANEOUS

I had one friend who always wanted to sit in the last row, right under the projector window.
It wasn't a bad philosophy - it made sure no one would kick your seat or annoy you in any other way from behind - if anyone threw popcorn or soda, you could see who did it from the higher ground vantage point, and if someone was coming with an icepick to stab you, you'd see them coming in advance (no sneak attacks from behind).

Ugh, January really stank here in Connecticut. Snow, ice (lots of ice) & brutal winds. Hard to take a daily walk. Yesterday I just said to hell with it the wind was so strong so I didn’t go anywhere. I hate to wimp out though.

How many days does February have this year? Hope it’s 28 only.

Question of the Day: why the heck is a store that sells alcohol called a package store? There are no packages!

Caught some kind of virus on a work trip. Had a fever and the whole shebang all day yesterday, but better today. Managed to get home about an hour ago and ordered lunch in. A part of me really wanted to try watching The White Lotus, but I inexplicably settled on something called Wire in the Blood (never even heard of it until it popped up on Prime). It does have a certain British hilarity, the way everyone says ‘Dr Hill’.

I don't get White Lotus. It just doesn't work for me.

I remember Wire In The Blood but never watched it because Robson Green was the lead and he just annoys me for some reason.

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Thank you.

Wire In The Blood seems fine for now, but perhaps my judgment is impaired. It does have its weird-ish noughties elements, S&M and all, which, because I hadn’t seen such stuff in a while, is a bit alarming. I do find Green’s face a bit annoying, too. Anyway, the plotting is rather ridiculous, too.

Feel like I should at least give White Lotus a try, but for some reason I also associate it with Pretty Little Liars, which is emphatically not my sort of thing.

Looking forward to Sunday when WL returns. I really like this show.

I will get to it eventually.

You're welcome.

I don't know if you're impared or not. I wasn't making comment on its quality or anything, just that he annoys me and, if I'm being fair, it was an ITV drama and the only scarier words than that for decades was ITV comedy. TBF, that still is scary.

Give it a go and see what you think. I watched the first season and episode one of the second, but I found it a chore, so I stopped. I've never seen PLL, so I can't compare but I wouldn't call White Lotus a teen drama in any way, if that's a fair description of PLL?

Haha, that’s fair. I’m only 5 episodes in and already looking forward to a respite — in the form of Soderbergh’s Presence this evening.
Yeah, fair enough. Many of these descriptions are so arbitrary. I quit PLL almost immediately so don’t really have much to go on, it’s been ages since I checked that out. But White Lotus keeps popping up in my news feeds and reviews updates, so I’m constantly encountering it and feel like I might want to see what it’s all about.

Are you just living day to day?

February was brutal here in Connecticut. Finally we made it. 20 days or so to spring. Cannot wait.

Without looking it up or reading the comments, can anyone tell who this lead singer is? It's from before he became famous.

I think that's Donald Sutherland with a wig on.

It's obviously Danny Kaye.

Don't know

Obviously not him, but it looks a lot like Mike Myers

I like the guys voice, sounds a lot cleaner than it would just a few years later.

It's Brian Johnson. I'd know that grimmace anywhere.
