Thank you all for the birthday wishes everyone. This one (60) hits hard, and is a bit surreal, actually. So, of course I went to see a tribute band for The Smiths last night, & felt young again for a few hours:

So sorry to read about Sophie. She indeed was a cutie. Deepest condolences Shelly.

I was "today year's old" when I learned that Teddy Pendergrass was a member of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes 🤦♂️:

Finished Deadloch (mentioned previously) - recommended. Also gone through The Horror of Dolores Roach (Prime) - aka, the Sweeney Todd of Washington Heights. Crazy, mostly fun ride.

Happy Birthday!

Deadloch (Prime) - first episode in, enjoyable so far.

Happy birthday, Kerry!

A few recent watches: On AppleTV, Silo - why are people living underground in this dystopian future? On Hulu, The Class of 09, an interesting portrayal of how a surveillance-state develops: Also started on AppleTV, High Desert, for some comedy: Decent, if not great watches so far - soft recommendations, all. They could all use some tightening up, storywise. But then they'd be movies instead of a series, I guess #shrug.

RIP Auntie Joyce

^I predict there will be word-salad euphemisms & back-stabbing all around.

Happy birthday!

The antagonistic scenes with males (the guy in the diner, the father in her office, come to mind) all seem convenient scenarios of the character's making. Provoked responses...self-fulfilling prophesies, stemming from earlier damage. When I see characters like this, I don't think of them as brave, empowered, or enlightened. I am reminded of the scene in the movie Disclosure where the lawyer says: "Ms. Johnson, the only thing you have proven is that a woman in power can be every bit as abusive as a man!"

MUCH prefer something along these lines: which has been a treat to nearly all the senses & non-sensibilities.

^I think the whole, twin-switching is pretty cringe-worthy. Not sure if the professional/patient switching, or the personal/sexual partner switching is moreso. Is that a positive commentary or reflection somehow? Not sure how "brave". They just seem to hate men.

Some recent TV series watches: Citadel (Amazon Prime) - like, easy watch, recommended, Priyanka Chopra looks amazing, can't wait for the next ep to drop Dead Ringers (Amazon Prime) - not so much after one ep, despite being a big Rachel Weisz fan...if the original movie with Jeremy Irons grossed you out, take a pass on this The Last Thing He Told Me (AppleTV) - yawn, super-disappointing for a Jen Garner fan (Alias) after two or three eps (I'm not sure when I fell asleep)
