I was cajoled into watching the Academy Award winning animation, "Spirited Away." It's a little over 2 hours. The story seems part Alice in Wonderland, part Wizard of OZ and some Disney schmaltz. But it knows its sources and how to use them. And Suzanne Pleshette does one of the voices in the dubbed version. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245429/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Watching the Chiefs-Ravens game on Spectrum. Spectrum which bombards me with emails and mailings on how I should sign up for their mobile service which is the greatest according to them. It's the fourth quarter, just under 14 minutes remain. The Chiefs are up 35-30. The screen goes black. Then Spectrum announces they cannot tune in the game. Really, how had they managed the other 3 quarters? They offer an 833 number to call to address the issue. Upon calling I am informed that I can speak to a representative in 53 minutes. That's so responsive. Of course, they never brought the game b

Unbelievable. UCLA managed to lose 40-37 to a crippled QB. Mr. Kelly, start putting out feelers for your next job. BTW, your pass defense sucks.

So I did switch to this android phone. Switching from iPhone to android is a bit of a pain and the android interface is not as intuitive as the iPhone. OTOH, it's 5G wherever that may occur, it has longer battery life and a bigger screen. So I'm either married to this for 2 years or I can pay some portion of $199.00 and move on. After 2 years, I can make another decision. Haven't tried the camera yet, but it may be better. The phone is apparently made by Alcatel (are we still getting along with the French?).

There's another thing about places that have lox and places that think smoked salmon is close enough. No vax either way.

You could order some wine as well.

I'm pretty sure Costco will deliver to you.

Did you eat at the chef's table?

Topo Chico is consumed in the kitchens of many LA restaurants. Many.

Those folks are also drinking Topo Chico water, may be more available than the Coke.

Costco has it. Mexican markets have it.

Just put it out there. Patrick Mahomes is amazing.

I watched as the Razorbacks humbled the Longhorns. Sark, you need a better defense. That said, you SEC folks need to look out for the Pigs.

"Irma Vep" (1996). Sort of an homage to Truffaut's films about making films with his frequent star Jean-Pierre Leaud. Kind of a mess, but still interesting. Wilf, if you're looking, it does feature the lovely Maggie Cheung in form fitting latex. And it does fit. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116650/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

The jury is still out, but I'm starting to think that Lucy Dacus is the new Aimee Mann. Hmmm.
