I should be packing. We’re moving this week and moving sucks but packing must be done. It’ll get done. The most productive thing I’m doing right now is laundry. I should fold clothes but I’m here, sitting in the living room while typing away because I’m the best procrastinator. Ha!
TV/MOVIES
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – The first season is done. I really enjoyed this show and I’m looking forward to more. Love the relationship between Dunk and Egg. I haven’t read their stories but maybe I will before the second season airs. If there’s source material, I want to read it.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy – I am digging this show so much. Yes, it’s a bit YA but there’s still that something that is so Star Trek. The most recent episode just squeezed my heart in different parts. I love when shows that do that. I’m glad SAM is better. I’m a little bummed that Tarima isn’t in the War College anymore but the show is called Starfleet Academy, so I get it.
The Bluff – Just finished watching this. Always love watching Karl Urban work. He’s ever the treat to watch. This one was violent and bloody. Decent watch.l I wonder what kind of accent Karl was doing. Priyanka Chopra Jonas was super kickass.
I find that I like taking selfies with my Z Flip 7 before everyone comes in at work. It’s weird, right?
- The Samsung 26 series was announced this week. I wish I wasn’t so tied to Apple because the Samsung phones are always so pretty. Being a Captain 2 Phones Jr. means I’m always going to have an Apple phone and my second phone is going to be something fun and flippable. As tempting as the folding phones are (the book-like ones), I can’t justify having one of those when I have an iPhone. And yes, I don’t *need* two phones but I like keeping up with the different mobile operating systems. 😉
- I finished the book Project Hail Mary. I had started it by reading the library ebook but I didn’t read fast enough and the loan lapsed. When I finished my previous audiobook (John Scalzi’s The Shattering Peace), I saw that I had Project Hail Mary in my library. I guess I used one of my Audible credits to get it a bit back. I queued it up and it picked up from where I had been reading it. Neat! I enjoyed the book. So much science! It was cool.
- So Carly Pearce and Riley Green have a duet coming out soon? Looks like they’ve done a video and I cannot wait to watch that one. I’ve always liked Carly. She’s one of the artists I buy without question, most of the time. I might have missed a couple of her newest songs but I won’t miss the one with Riley.
- Speaking of Riley Green, what is this about him making his acting debut? Ugh, am I going to end up watching the show? (I think we know the answer to that one…)
- I have not written anything to any of my stories these past few weeks. I think my mind just likes to hibernate in winter time. Life probably distracted me in general too. I’m trying to at least keep reading/listening to books.
We could have done more on the packing front this weekend but maybe we like the stress of an impending deadline. There’s always after work and such. As long as the big, heavy pieces get emptied and we pack as much as we can, we’ll be fine.
Managed a bit of time out of the house yesterday with a couple of drinks. I had a triple IPA at one place then a Pinot Grigio at another. It was a nice break. The weather was warm enough for me to wear shorts. I’m not ready for the warm weather. It feels like we never get to enjoy sweater weather. Alas.
Since Friday, I keep thinking to myself, “This time next week, I’ll be in a different house.” When we left downtown yesterday evening, we detoured to our soon-to-be home and it was the first time one of our vehicles slipped up the driveway. It was a nice feeling. It’ll be a better feeling when it’s finally ours. I’ll have no excuses for not unpacking and eventually purging the stuff we don’t need. I’m too sentimental, I think. Must strike that balance or learn a new mindset. I like being sentimental but maybe I don’t need to have so much stuff, eh? Then again, I do like my collectibles much too much. 😉
I’d love to meet Karl again and take a picture with him. Then I can have a “then” and a “now” thing. 😉
Here’s to a good week to one and all. Find that bit of joy and beauty, even in the little things…
