Watched Crouching Tiger last night. What a movie that is.

We put down our cat Teo yesterday. He was 15 years old, and we’d had him for 10 of those years. He was such a beautiful cat, and I’m going to miss him. RIP Teotihuacan.

Why am I drawn to twitter even though I like the people on here lol

I’m so mad about everything right now it’s exhausting. Three weeks of striking and no gains. It’s goddamned infuriating

Insurance company just decided that they’re going to do a cash settlement for our siding instead of fixing it. The contractor says it’s unlikely the cash will be enough to actually pay for it. It’s so cool that the insurance company can just decide to rip us off!

The phrase nepo baby is gradually being stretched to encompass all children of wealthy people, and I think that’s funny.

Rewatching Midnight Mass and Riley and Erin are out on the boat…

Calgary mayor Jeromy Fartass. Who would have thought

Held my nose and voted in this fart of a municipal election. It’s a tough choice between the same old useless crap and a new, much more evil kind of crap.

Stuck in a nightmare with my insurance company. I can’t make any policy changes online anymore and every time I talk to them directly they tell me that’s normal. What do you mean that’s normal! No it isn’t!

Not interviewed by Judge Wyant in a report that’s supposed to probe political interference into AHS -Health Minister Lagrange -her chief of staff -anyone on political side other than Marshall Smith, who left premier’s office last fall

If you’ve ever wondered what they’re doing at Alberta Next panels, they’re cutting mics and telling high school students their parents should beat them.

Yeah keep talking shit man see what happens

Alberta teachers demand both bread and roses

No fear. Just like Tom Cruise.

Very sad that our older cat is unwell and in pain and this seems to be leading to increased conflict with the other cat. They seem to be fighting for real instead of for play. Poor animals.

No yeah I love my ELA class with 40 students and my film class with 38 students it’s great when you can hardly move in the classroom

Watching Flow and my cat hasn’t cried once. Cold as ice

Last night we saw a skunk dragging the body of a dead animal across our neighbor’s lawn. The body was somehow stuck in or tangled with a reusable bag. Turns out a little snowshoe hare died on the sidewalk, bled everywhere, and now the body’s gone. What the fuck man

Coming to the bargaining table with the same salary increase teachers already voted down was not in good faith, even if it came with a positive step forward in promising funds for hiring. They knew the union bargaining team wouldn’t agree to it. This is calculated

If your daughter wants to play junior or senior high sports in Alberta you now gotta sign a document confirming she’s cis to compete with girls. Parents can officially accuse your daughter of lying and she’ll be investigated.

Been watching the Child’s Plays, and man these movies are fun. I think I had only seen 1 and, weirdly, the very end of 2 (of the first trilogy). Chucky sure gets ugly in the third one.

I would like to know how the people who believe kids should have phones in the classroom think teachers should prevent cheating with LLMs, but I don’t want to talk to them to find out.

I can’t seem to find it, but this Northback YouTube ad about mining coal in Alberta has a map of the province that seems to have Lake Athabasca cut out. I don’t get it lol why did they change the border

Well that was a weird one. I think I liked it. Interesting imagery. Surprised at how much footage they use from A Nightmare on Elm Street.

New rules for teachers in Alberta because the UCP changed the Education Act

Watching some Scream movies tonight for some reason. Just finished 4. It’s not my favourite. I don’t remember 5 very well, but it’s next.

Hit 18 pounds lost today. Impressed with myself; I’m usually very bad at sticking with things. The goal is another 14, but we’ll see.

Poor old cat has dental resorption. He needs to go to a vet dentist, which is a thing I didn’t know existed! I feel so bad for him; he’s been in a lot of pain. Now he might lose all of his teeth.

There’s a tendency to assume a sort of perfection among artists. Just because someone holds a set of political beliefs does not mean they can precisely represent those beliefs in narrative fiction.

Funny story: I put on Fellowship of the Ring today just for no reason while hanging out on the couch. Wife came down and laughed at me for watching it. Thought that was a weird reaction! Turns out my other gift is tickets to see Fellowship with a live orchestra in January lmao

My wife made me an embroidery facehugger for my birthday 🥰

The McDonald’s I went to as a kid here in Calgary had this insanely elaborate nautical decor back in the day. Telling my wife about it and I wish I could find a photo

Honestly always forget how many times this movie cuts to news and commercials. They’re so funny. Nukem is an all-time bit

Saw RoboCop at the local theater. What a movie that is. Happy birthday to me!

Do the Alberta separatists who think the UN convention on the law of the sea would oblige Canada to allow a railway through BC also believe the UN effectively enforces other conventions or just that one?

Illegal to sit. Good lord

Hayley Atwell is 43, but she has a sort of childlike quality in these films. It made me miss Rebecca Ferguson in this last one.

Just when I’m getting tired of The Bear they do a really nice wedding episode. Josh Hartnett I could never be tired of you

Ebon Moss-Bachrach is the only remaining reason The Bear has anything resembling comedy.

Just barely married and already my ring is too big lmao.

Saw Final Reckoning today. Still thinking about it, but the shots everyone said were beautiful really were. I think honestly everything up to the decompression chamber had me completely, but after that felt a lot different.

Discovered that I like Big Turk chocolate bars… what do I do with myself after this

Oh what a day, what a lovely day

Just got married 🥰

Now rewatching. I love this movie; it’s completely nuts.

Rachel lol
