    Grammys

    DJ Khalid is just a really elaborate prank, right?
  2. We’re planning a Thank You dinner for my friends next month for everyone who helped us over the last 6 months. When I think about what I’m going to say about my wife, I tear up every time. She has been unbelievable. She is a successful real estate lawyer, is on the board of the Thinkery children’s museum, we have a 3 and 6 year old at home, we are working on a home addition and she takes care of my leukemia riddled ass. I got the best one there is. Going down to Houston for round 6 of 6 next week. From there, we just keep our fingers crossed that it doesn’t come back. If it does, we go to marrow transplant. I really hope we don’t have to do that as it can be pretty dangerous. At the very least, I should be “normal” for a time even if it does come back. The 2 year mark is the big one and then 5 year mark. After that, the chances of relapse are low. Good luck to all of you guys. I am very happy that we’re going through this now and not decades ago. The advances are crazy and I hope they keep coming. My doctor said they are hoping for a pill to take care of leukemia orally in the next 10-15 years. Insane stuff.
  3. Massive win. What a game. Let our nuts drag that second half.
  4. Bishop! What a couple defensive plays in a row. We need this from him more consistently. It’s a game changer.
  5. Bishop has been extremely forgettable this year but this half he has been awesome.

    Vinyl

    I used Vinyl Me Please for a few years. They do a good mix of music. I got things like Z by My Morning Jacket to Sorcerer by Miles Davis. If you don’t like the record they’re sending, you can grab one from the archives, which gives great flexibility month to month.
  7. Watched a lot of it last night again. Hong Chau’s line reading of “tortillas deliciosa” is the funniest shit ever.
  8. Just constant branches falling from my oaks the last couple of hours. They’re getting obliterated. Fucking heartbreaking.
  9. Just went out to knock some ice off of the edges of my oaks to release some weight. I stayed away from the middle as I don’t have a death wish. I may be trying to remove sand from the ocean but at least I tried to help them out some.
  10. I have three large oaks in my yard in 78731. I’ve lost a few branches but nothing major. There are a bunch that are sagging like a mother fucker though. We made it through 2021 without losing anything, so not sure why this one already seems worse. I can definitely hear the melting ice coming down when I go out but not enough yet. Need a few more degrees.
  11. Looks like they extended the Winter Weather Advisory to 6am Thursday.
  12. Margo Price at Scoot Inn Friday. Going to be cold as fuck but hopefully worth it.
  13. Just got back from the Far West HEB and they were still well stocked. It was busy but not crazy and I didn’t see people with palettes of water or any other dumb shit, so hopefully you’re fine.
  14. I just cried like a little bitch at the end of Station Eleven. So, that one.
  15. Saw this the other day and thought it was super interesting and surprising. Zigging when others are zagging seems to work : http://
  16. Also, how anyone can call this movie “derivative” is beyond comprehension.
  17. You guys in here talking about EEAAO and related awards being some social statement are wild. I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Cate Blanchette will probably win for Tar. She has won every award they have been head to head on. She is a queen and deserves every award she is ever up for. If Yeoh does win, it is incredibly deserved. There is literally no one else in the world who could do the physical, comedic and emotional beats she plays in that movie. That movie does not exist without Michelle Yeoh. Tar would be a lesser film without Blanchette but would still exist.
  18. Or using the screams of children as a torture device.
  19. The treatment of Scooby Doo as some sacred cow is strange. As far as Harley Quinn, there’s a cartoon on HBO Max that is batshit insane and is often really funny. It’s honestly surprising with the violence and cursing that DC just let’s it go. I really enjoyed the first two seasons, but season 3 lost me some. Hope they’re back for 4th. Good voice team with Kaley Cuoco, Lake Bell, Deidrich Bader, JB Smoove, Tony Hale, Alan Tudyk, etc. Bane is the best character.
  20. Watched The Menu. Loved it. Fiennes can level you with a look.
  21. This movie rules. I may need to watch it again before it leaves. Haven’t seen it since it came out
  22. What a cast. No huge stars but basically everyone else a notch below.
  23. They've been my team for a decade and the only thing close is the 15-16 season. That was Mourinho's 3rd season, which is where he always blows up. Huddink came in and righted the ship in the spring to keep us mid table, but that was an ugly fall. Fortunately, we had the 14-15 championship season, so there was still some goodwill we were living off of. I have no idea where we go from here, but fortunately we have enough results so far this year and will fall into enough this spring to keep us from sweating relegation. Just get the young guys some good experience and regroup this summer. Seeing Willian out there made me revisit my favorite team, the 16-17 edition. Man, I loved that team. Just full of fun players all over the pitch. Hazard, Willian, Pedro, Fabregas, Alonso, Moses, Costa, Matic, Kante, Azpi, Luiz, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (in his swan song). Incredible team.
