chase_acow: the magnus archives a cassette tape fractured into a spider web behind it (tma tape)
My arch nemesis the ice-cream van driver woke me up before 6 yesterday, but my sleep schedule has been so wonky I decided to go with it, get up, and try to enjoy going outside to sit with the sun for a little bit. I started taking a vitamin D supplement with this round of night shift, but I figured some of the real deal couldn't hurt anything. Today the neighbor across the street was playing music in their front yard though it was only loud enough for the bass to get to my bedroom, and it sounded enough like polka to lead to the weirdest nightmare. . .

I've been listening to The Magnus Archives again, so it was a mash up statement with Oktoberfest )

I didn't watch a single men's ncaa basketball game, but my inner gambler/competitor couldn't help filling out a bracket. I decided first step was picking the team with more wins vs top 25 teams and then to go with my gut. I have Villanova winning it all.

I watched season 41 and the first episode of this new season of Survivor, and I love the changes. Most obviously, it's so diverse and THEY GET TO WEAR CLOTHES! There are other changes of course, it's 26 days instead of 39, so the contestants have to start playing a lot faster and it feels likes there's nowhere to hide.

60 year old Jeff Probst will no longer use 'guys' as a group pronoun and also he clearly made a deal somewhere to stop aging.

I finished reading Bird Box by Josh Malerman and it is very similar and very different than the Sandra Bullock Netflix movie (which I really liked). I enjoyed it quite a lot, and am now waiting for the sequel Malorie from the library.

chase_acow: Mass Effect Shepard quote "Don't fear the Reapers." (me reapers)
I have watched so much Survivor. I am on season 34 - Game Changers which I wanted to watch because I liked Zeke who was a contestant on the previous season, who on this season was outed as trans in tribal council. I knew it was coming because it was impossible to avoid a major spoiler like this when reading up on the different seasons' controversies, so I was able to do a little research. Turns out he got to be involved with Netflix's Disclosure. And he wrote this really amazing personal essay.



I stupidly didn't watch it before my subscription ended and I am taking a break from Netflix and Disney+ for a while. At least until Falcon and Winter Soldier finally gets dropped.

I did watch The Old Guard last week, and it is a really well done movie and entirely watchable. But it wasn't fun. It's stoic and has great action scenes and soundtracks, but I don't think it made me smile let alone laugh. It's not The Losers. I fully recommend it, but I went into it expecting something a bit more entertaining.
