    yeah I think I liked season 2 better as well.  

    I really hated the character Aubrey was married to. More so than the douchebag from season 1.  I liked how they kept some things for to you speculate on your own.  Did she really fool around or just want to make him think she did, with that dude's consent?  Make him jealous. 

     

     

    So many open threads with that. As you said, it isn't completely clear what she did or didn't do. Also, you assume Ethan messes around with the friend's wife in retaliation, but again you don't know for sure. I agree that Ethan's character is not very sympathetic, but I thought the idea of him not being able to shake the images of what he thought his wife did was well done.

    I was a little disappointed in how predictable the storyline with the hookers was. Since Lucia had told Mia that she was going to scam Albie out of a bunch of money, I was hoping for a curveball somewhere in there. It turned out though that's exactly what she did.

    Tanya's (and Portia's) storyline was probably more convoluted than it needed to be, but it was still engaging. I mean, if the idea was to kill Tanya for Greg, it seems like there was ample opportunity to do that without having to entertain her for three days (or whatever it was) with parties, operas, etc. You could tell there was something off with that group from the start, and it just got more and more foreboding as it went on, which I thought was great even if it was overly elaborate.   

  2. I finally finished season two of White Lotus.  The hotel staff were not nearly as interesting as they were in season one, but I enjoyed the guests a lot more this season. Aubrey Plaza is just great, as usual. I think I enjoyed that storyline the most.

    A well known guitarist I follow wrote about Jeff yesterday and said that Jeff was one of the best but it's possible, probable even, that you have to play guitar to understand why.

    I think that's true.  I don't play.  He doesn't do anything for me but I am not going to tell all of these great guitar players and all of you that you are wrong.  That would be ignorant.  

     

    What?!?!?! If we can't post ignorant opinions on the internet, then what are we even doing here...

  6. I watched Bullet Train on Netflix while on a flight. A ridiculous movie and plot in every way, but also a lot of fun.  If you want a mindless action movie that doesn't take itself seriously, it will do nicely.

    Oh.

    My.

    The paramedic in that trailer is the "disgruntled employee" from those Twitter videos. I'm not sure what it says about me that I recognized him instantly.

    My internet usage has been about 65% of our allotment all year. I’m working from home. We have 4 people. Never really gave it much thought. Last month we got up to 85% and this month on pace for the same. I smell a rat as xfinity probably wants me to upgrade to unlimited.  I’ve tried to see if I can track by device but cannot find anything. 

    It's all those comedy skits you've been streaming.

    If you are a Star Wars fan then you probably are watching Andor.  If you are a casual fan.... you need to watch.

    I think it's hands down the best SW TV series and the best thing they've done overall in a very long time.

     

    Agreed, though I do really like Mandalorian.

    On a recommendation we started Yellowstone. This first episode is just dragging. Anyone else have any encouragement to keep going?

    I started Yellowstone last night, and I agree with you. I'll give it some time, but the first episode definitely dragged. I had been wanting to watch it, but don't subscribe to Paramount+ and the first season is only on Peacock. I noticed though that DirecTV has a Paramount channel. I setup a recording for all episodes and waited. Finally last weekend they had a marathon of all of the previous seasons, so I got them all. Now I have 38 more episodes to watch. LOL! I'll watch a couple more this week, and if it doesn't grab me by then, I'll just delete them.

    There is a button to disable it but sometimes I forget to hit it and it annoys me. 
     

    Not any more!!

    Too bad there isn't a version yet for Honda, or I would get this for my wife for Christmas. It annoys her to no end that she has to push that button every time she gets in the car.

  12. My son is a senior in HS and we went on a campus visit this past Monday. While there he posted about it on (I think) Snapchat. Someone who is a freshman there replied and was going to meet up to talk to him, except his class schedule conflicted with what we had scheduled. He made sure to say that my son could reach out with any questions he might have though.

    The amazing thing about this to me is that the two of them are not friends. They went to the same grade school and maybe played soccer or baseball together a time or two, but they never hung around together or anything. It's what social media is supposed to be for, and it just blew my mind that teenagers can (and do) use those apps for good. You always just hear about how they are used for bullying, etc, so I was very pleased to see the other side of it.

    I think I want to see a Yankees v Dodgers WS.  1981, redux 

    Gross. I want to see anything but that. LOL! 

    I was rooting for the Ms yesterday, but I have a hard time seeing how they bounce back from that loss. Just excruciating...

  14. The whole supply issue is still nutty. I've been car shopping recently. The Chevy dealer says that some features are missing (heated seats and the like), but they will be treated like a recall once the chips are available. Reasonable enough. Mazda on the other hand are also missing features (sat radio, power lift gate), but with no plans to take care of it later. They just knocked a couple hundred bucks off the price.

    I actually ended up ordering a Honda CR-V, but without being able to test drive it or have any idea of when I'll get it. That was about 3 weeks ago, and I still don't even have an estimate of any kind. 

    I really like the look of the Mazda CX-5, but the controls are really wonky. Instead of a touch screen, they have this weird control knob on the console between the two front seats. I don't think that's any sort of supply issue, but was designed that way. Hated it.

    From Earnest Tubb to Conway Twitty to Jack White, not to mention a legendary solo career. Truly a country music icon

    I love that Portland Oregon track she did with Jack White. It's not on Spotify though, so I never really get to hear it anymore.
