So I watched Megalopolis today. It was…a 138-minute plot synopsis. With one exception, there was one scene that felt like a real scene: with his mother. That felt real. The rest was pantomime. Pastiche. Untethered. I also don’t think Coppola actually knew what he was...

Woof. Today was WAY longer with work than I expected. Sigh. It’s okay. I think we got everything done. We’ll see in the morning. Almost a thirteen hour day. Yikes. I’m wiped. Time for sleep. Tonight’s photo was selected randomly, and what a photo. I miss her so, so...

Boy oh boy did I not want to get up this morning to do my writing. It’s been a week, folks. A week. And this one upcoming will probably be similar in that a lot is going on. For the rest of the year, in fact…but I am resolute. I don’t know how much of this detailed...

I’ve finally read The Martian. I know. Fourteen years late on that one, but I wasn’t reading much fourteen years ago. I went through decade-plus…probably fifteen years, during my late 20s and almost all of my 30s where I wasn’t hardly reading anything at all. It was...

Go watch 2000 Meters To Andriivka. I, meanwhile, will go watch 20 Days in Mariupol, which I missed the first time around. Same filmmaker. I can tell you that Andriivka is one of more intense docs I’ve ever seen. It’s almost entirely made up of real-time helmet cam...

I’m very thankful today for my family, for Liz and her family, the pups, the Kings and their friends, for my friends… And somehow this post never happened. What a WEEK this was, my god. I’m a month+ removed from this day, now, catching that I never posted it, and it...

Bear is home. Halleloo. By the way, autocorrect tried to make “home” into “gone” just now and that’s hilarious and horrifying because that would literally change that sentence to the opposite meaning. It’s been a week. Feels like Friday even though it’s Monday....

Coops seems to be on the mend. Thank goodness. Still having the bad BMs, but not in the emergency fashion. He didn’t want to eat this morning and was very lethargic, which had me worried…but he perked up after taking him out, and he ate a small breakfast. He then...

Ooowee. Longest day of the year today, I think. Work was insane, which was expected…unexpected was Cooper having bloody stool all day and throwing up his breakfast. He was so uncomfortable, I ended up taking him to the ER the second work was done. Five hours later,...

Well, today was slippery. Joy got up about once every two hours last night to go out and potty—pee, mostly. So, sleep was not reliable. Sigh. Spent the morning finding a place to take her to get checked out. Not the easiest thing to do on a Sunday morning. It meant I...
