The first two episodes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew are out! Disney+ released them seven minutes ago.
Robin is super psyched!
I fear that this one is going to be a little too kiddie for me. Andor being grown-up focused has spoiled me a little. The Acolyte was good but I hope that even with my unfounded fears Skeleton Crew will be better.
Even if it’s trash I am still going to love it. It’s Star Wars, after all. Am I right, or am I right?
Enjoy!
Back to work today, and it’s been a busy morning. There were a lot of things to unpack after the long weekend. Nothing bad, just lots of emails and things to discuss. The morning has flown by. Here we are, just after noon, and I haven’t posted anything to the blog yet! Insanity!
It is December. I need to come up with a music project for his month. I’ll probably get back to the old re-recording project thing. Who knows. Maybe I’ll roll that into February’s RPM Challenge somehow. Hmmm… things to ponder in the coming weeks.
Now that it is December I can officially say that we’re going back to Disney World next month. We’ve got that going for us at least. It’s almost time to pay homage to The Mouse again.
Until then just play your damn guitar, Robert.
Jen and Bellana are watching a Hallmark xmas movie. You thought that December was xmas season. No. It’s Hallmark season and it is awful. Just awful.
Even Robin is floored by the terrible movie.
Oh, the bliss! I feel alive again!
Pre-gastric bypass surgery (2.5 years ago) I was a big fan of French Toast with Maple Syrup.
Post-surgery, where sugar can make me super sick, I avoided French Toast. My wife would make it for the kids and I’d have something else.
We were discussing it last week. There is nothing in French Toast itself that would make me sick. It was just the maple syrup that was a risk. I realized that was the only reason I hadn’t partaken in the delicacy.
Knowing that Jen was going to make it for breakfast today I went looking for sugar free maple syrup and I found some. Fast forward to today’s breakfast and I’m in!
It was delicious. Soooo good!
The cats don’t do well with crowds in the house. I was able to coax Robin out of hiding for a few minutes. Lily is nowhere to be found.
Someone is very excited for today’s events. Clearly.
We had to move some furniture to make room for the xmas tree. The cats were pretty shell-shocked by the whole ordeal. They’ve just started to sort of act like everything is okay, but I think that means that they are going to start fighting a battle royale any second now.
I got stuck in a traffic jam on a back road in Salem, NH tonight. There was a flock of wild turkeys crossing the street… single file… yeah, we were stopped there for a long time. There were at least 20 of them, but I couldn’t count them because they kept hiding behind the other stopped cars.
The irony of getting stopped by turkeys on the day after Thanksgiving is… dare I say it… delicious?
It’s not that I hate xmas, I don’t really. It’s just that I want it to wait. I want the xmas season to last about at most 4-5 days. Hell, I will be generous and let it last a whole week. What I hate is that it’s not even December yet and we’re being hammered over the head with all things xmas and there is no escape.
I give in to everything because I know how happy it makes my family. I am a scrooge surrounded by xmas lovers. We bought the tree today because the kids will be here this weekend before going back to Vermont and this weekend is the only time we’ll all be home to decorate. Seriously, if it were just up to me I would put up the tree on xmas eve.
So there are two things that I hate. One is the over-commercialization of the holiday that results in the xmas season starting before Halloween. The other thing I hate is xmas music. I was 11 years old when I played my first school xmas concert. I was 20 when I played my last one. That is enough xmas music for a lifetime, I think. It can all go away now, thank you very much.
Ugh… I guess I am just a scrooge for a while. Come December 22 or 23 or so, I will be in merry-xmas mode and loving it, but for now? On November 29th?
I am exaggerating a little.
A little.
