Really looking forward to s2 of The Night Manager starring Tom Hiddleston. Starts on 1/11. It's been 10 years since s1 but I didn't find the show until 2025 so not a long wait for me. He's basically James Bond: attractive, charismatic, and smart. Should be a fun ride

This is a dumb reason but I'm glad it's 2026 simply because I prefer even numbered years. Idk if it's because I was born in a year that ends in zero or what. Have felt this way since I was a little kid

Happy 2026! We made it through '25 and I'm hoping there's nowhere to go but up 🥳🎉

Treated myself to the Blu-ray Lost complete series. I watched as it aired in 2004, own the regular DVDs, and have seen every ep a million times. It's so nice having the improved clarity of Blu-ray. I deliberately haven't seen it in about 5 years so this is very enjoyable.

🎶You walked in And my life began again Just when I'd spent the last piaster I could borrow🎶

@captainjellico.bsky.social Happy new year 🎉🥳 Thank you for the many years of laughs with your Jellico memes. Always so clever and funny. (I followed you on Twitter for years) 😀

How come no one but me cuts their spaghetti with a knife? Any long pasta I have to cut into bite size pieces because I can't stand slurping a long string and making a mess. Yeah I've seen people twirl it into a spoon first but still too messy. Don't get why people look at me weird when I cut it up

Baby me on 12/25/1970. Which makes today my 55th Christmas. Where does the time go

@doublephq.bsky.social Merry Christmas to Bubba and Catfish 🧑‍🎄 Thanks for another great year of podcasts 🥰

Off work early @5pm today. Uncle's house at 6. I already can't wait to be home again cuddling with my cat and watching the 1951 b&w version of A Christmas Carol starring Alistair Sim. Found that movie 15-20 years ago and it's the only version for me. None of the others give me the same magic

@doublephq.bsky.social s1e9 7.5 double D, Debbie downer. Manusos and Carol meeting was anticlimactic. Radio frequency thing was a bust. Final scene with the box -- c'mon, we know she's not gonna use it. I love the premise of this show but the execution leaves me cold

TL:dr Severance s3 out between July and Sept 2027 www.newsweek.com/apple-tv-rev...

Finally got a new laptop with a graphics card that is good for light gaming. I don't play FPS so it's perfect for my needs. Been re- enjoying a 25 year old game, Diablo II Resurrected. I've played it off and on since since it came out. It looks so much better now and I can't stop playing

Virtually every day I see or hear something that validates my decision to be childfree. The exhaustion and stress that moms go through is insane. Thank God I have never and will never have to deal with it

@doublephq.bsky.social s1e07 7.5 double R, Rolls Royce. The pacing was deliberately slow and plodding, which had me checking how close are we to the end a few times. The info given could've been conveyed much quicker but I know this is a VG style thing. The last 2 min were a great payoff

Lying on the couch reading a book with kitty Sheridan sleeping on me. This is my happy place 😺💖

Tried crunchy peanut butter for the first time in decades and loved it. Originally stopped when I was 10 or 11 because it ripped up the bread when spreading. This time around it went on smoothly. So either the formula changed or it was user error. Maybe both

Another shocker: my YouTube wrap up most played songs are all Steely Dan or Donald Fagen

@matthewmurdick.bsky.social I rcvd your email. Thanks 😀 Really appreciate you setting this up. It'll fun to see everyone again

Rewatching Babylon 5 series for the millionth time, but it's been around 4 or 5 years since I saw it last. The slow realistic build up to Earth fascism over the first 3 seasons hits way harder now than the other times I've seen it. Previously it was like a history lesson. Now it's a current event 😥

2025 YouTube wrap up of my most played artists. Completely predictable result that Steely Dan is #1. Still listening to the music I love from the 70s

@doublephq.bsky.social s1e6 9/10 double Vs, viva Las Vegas. Finally we got some character interaction, Carol is out of her bubble, and Menusos is on the move. We learned tons of info and John Cena was perfect. Carol was relatable 😮😋

It looks like #Severance S3 will be filming from April-December 2026. No word on a potential release date, but if post-production takes 7-8 months, the earliest we COULD get the show is probably mid-summer 2027, depending on Apple's release schedule. You know I'll be here.

Just saw a concert video of Joni Mitchell singing "Amelia," featuring a 20 something year old Pat Metheny on solo guitar. Great performance. Never seen him this young before. And of course Joni was wonderful

@doublephq.bsky.social top 0.1% ?!?! I must be crazy 🤣😮😆

So accurate I have to wonder if they're spying on me 😋🤔

Hot take: Pluribus is good but it's no Severance. Not even close

I'm craving chocolate badly but need to lose weight so there's none in the house. Trying hard to stop myself from ordering some on Doordash but I know I'll end up giving in because I have so little impulse control. Sigh.

🎶She comes out of the sun in a silk dress Runnin' like a watercolor in the rain🎶

@doublephq.bsky.social s1e05...8 triple Gs, grumpy got ghosted. When Carol watched from the top of the hotel I was cheering for the Others. She got what she wanted and is now indignant like a typical Karen. The last shot could be Soylent Green but I think Vince is too smart to go there

Boz Scaggs "Lowdown" is a perfect song. Amazing Jeff Porcaro on drums. His 16th note overdubs are sublime. Of the bazillion songs he drummed on in the 70s and 80s this is my favorite performance

This is 1000% me 😁

🎶Swingin' so hard We burned right through the summer Till the axis of pain/pleasure sheared the arc of desire🎶

I was today years old when I found out Bob Odenkirk was the writer of the SNL skit about a guy "living in a van down by the river!" One of my all time faves. But then it made me sad because the late Phil Hartman is also in the skit. He died by his wife's hand in a murder / suicide 😢

🎶Won't you pour me a Cuban Breeze, Gretchen?🎶

I need a man who looks at me the way Cheeto is looking at Zohran

@doublephq.bsky.social s1e4...7/10 double D, dogfood dinner. It's good that we finally saw Paraguay guy and have another perspective on this situation. Carol continues to annoy me. Her treatment of the tall guy and Zosia was uncalled for. She's a wrecking ball 😑

Getting older is very strange. This morning I turned the knob for the shower and out of nowhere had a memory of being 7ish doing the same thing. I rmbr being a kid in the 70s and the interstitial years up to now but still can't believe I'm 55. Wtf

Supposedly at 4pm ET there will be a House vote about releasing the Epstein files. Everything will be redacted, right? Kind of like how the Mueller report was pages of blacked out paragraphs. We don't seriously expect to learn anything substantial from this, do we?

Omg, the accuracy of this 😁

@doublephq.bsky.social s1e3 8/10 double Ws, witchy woman. Omg Carol is the worst! She's needlessly rude and mean all the time. We saw her take a Xanax -- I'd say she needs to triple her dose. The Sprouts scene was extremely well done. The precision of the people in mostly real time was top

Had a cataracts evaluation yesterday. I'm surprised that each eye requires so many appts. You have to get a physical first. Various post op appts. And have to coordinate with my optometrist because I won't be able to wear current glasses if 1 eye has been fixed. So maybe a temp contact lens?

🎶Move out to Manhattan and fill the place with friends Drive to the coast and drive right back again🎶

I don't normally talk politics on here because it's too depressing of a subject in the USA. But wow, it looks like slim ray of sunshine is happening in these off year election results nationwide 🥳

I've worn glasses since 1979 when I was 9. Contacts at 15. So decades of bad vision. Even in my 20s I never saw well at night. Saw eye doc today for yearly exam. My RX is worse than ever, and he says I have cataracts 😮 I'm 55 so fairly young to have this issue.

I know I listen to Steely Dan a lot the past few months but 0.01% is crazy!

@doublephq.bsky.social s5e06 Wow! 10/10 double Fs, fantastic finale. The way everything tied together was so clever. The recordings, push knife, Shirley skill, Whelan's woes, Grandpa, and omg the very last scene. It was all chef's kiss and left me wanting more. S6 preview-- omg SYRIL!! 😮😀

@doublephq.bsky.social s5e05 9/10 double Ws, wimpy Whelan. This guy is too bumbling to be 1st Desk. I wish he was like his Battlestar Galactica character who was smart, suave, & charming. Holy double cross, Batman! The last 15 min were exciting and set up the finale very well. River & Coe-- meh

Ever listened to a song that lit up the parts of your brain like falling in love? ❤️ 3 days ago I came across a gem from 1993 that I didn't know existed. This is love. Effervescent. Joyful. Beautiful. Harmonies are lush and shimmery. On repeat for hours at a time 🥰 youtube.com/watch?v=wzw-...
