Woke up to the news that
El Paso airport closed
Person of interest detained in the Savannah Guthrie mom abduction
Maybe rain this weekend

Woke up at 4 a.m. before my alarms went off.

46 degrees in the Fort this morning.

Peddle something today.

Ready for 5 p.m.

Choir practice and church tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

Yearp.

He's been released, no connection to the abduction.

Hump Day

Mass craziness continues this morning at work

ZzzZz

• Went to bed at 9PM. Woke up several times post 2AM.
• Fuego for breakfast. The Diet Pepsi is almost gone, the cup is not very big. They used to have a larger size.
• Kiddo has MRI on shoulder today.
• Fairly light meeting day. Woohoo.
• Dinner at Wings n More, the softball team is eating there and I'm the funder of it.
• Travel work.

Do the day!

• Up early to send my man off to Dallas
• Caught up and working ahead on grad school work
• Composing art songs is not fun
• Prep for a long weekend starts tonight

Beautiful warmer rainy day in west Georgia/east Alabama. Starting with coffee. Because
A good day starts with good coffee.
Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humankind is up to.

I'm not happy with the new cups at Fuego.

Now that Benny is older, I find myself wanting to watch specific movies with him. The first one was "The Terminator", which I own on Blu-Ray. Then we watched T2, which I didn't have.

In the old days, I'd have gone to the video store and rented it. They closed the video stores, and I don't really understand the streaming market. It seems fractured to the point that there isn't any one subscription I can get to act as my video store.

As it is, I use torrent + VPN to download a 1080p copy of pretty much anything I want in about two hours. I pay nothing. Downloaded "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Ong-Bak: Thai Warrior" last night. I'd have happily paid some nice store $4 or $5 per movie to rent their Blu-Rays (although Shawshank has enough rewatch value to purchase for myself).

I wish there was an old man yelling at the clouds emoji.

How did y'all like T2? Did you still find it boring or have you joined humanity?

Dabo, do you have Amazon Prime? There's a lot of movies included with your subscription there, Prime Video. Also, YouTube has a lot of free movies. Other than having to watch a few commercials at times, there's no additional cost. That's what this old guy does.

I like the original a lot more than T2. Benny liked T2 more. I feel like the original is very tight. It should probably have been a little longer just to develop the relationship between Reese and Sarah a little more. There literally isn't a moment in the first film that's wasted.

There are places where T2 runs long. Too much time is spent at the mental hospital, for example. And there are a number of scenes that exist just to show off the ground-breaking (in 1991) CGI. The scene with the policeman terminator entering the helicopter through the windshield is the most iconic of them. The effects still hold up reasonably well, but I think too much screentime dedicated to showing them off. They're not that exciting in 2026.

I also like Linda Hamilton LOTS MORE in the original. She's cute as hell. Her chain smoking (so 1990s film cliche) and constant anger are irritating to me in T2.

I do not have Amazon Prime. I'd subscribe if I felt like it had everything I wanted. I don't want to subscribe and realize that there's still something I can't watch though.

YouTube is fine. I have enough adblockers that I've never seen an ad on there. Do you know if they show movies in their correct aspect ratio or if they crop them to 16:9? I'm uptight about that.

She worked her butt off to get in shape for T2. And the mental hospital scenes were necessary to show you what drives her character to extremes.

Slept well.

First two meetings went well. On to the next two.

People that drive the wrong way on one-way streets are irritating.

That new gal working the drive-thru at Fuego is not quite up to speed yet. She's gonna need to pick up the pace if she wants to handle the drive-thru. Her predecessors were a well-oiled machine.

Bought two iced teas because Jmac's post reminded me that the new size just isn't big enough.

I live in one of the greatest food cities in America, possibly the world, (can be discussed and debated, admittedly) and what do I think about? Fuegos, Wings N More, Brisket, Enchiladas, Breakfast tacos, Whataburger. Seeing posts about it makes me want to hop in the car asap.

- Dropped my puppy off at the boarding place this morning and I'm sure she must think I've abandoned her I miss her.
- Flying to Dallas today so that I can fly to Orlando with girlfriends tomorrow.
- Harry Potter World this weekend woooo

She should think that. You adopted her and are bailing on her again after just getting her.

Bailing on her - again? She's never been boarded before.

God forbid I live my life.

Didn't you leave her already to go to San Antonio?

Live your life. Take your dog with you.
