Today I got to take my doll and a couple other cats to see this nifty new flick at the Independent Picture House, a supermurgitroid, nonprofit theater in Charlotte.
It’s called “Psycho”, and let me tell you, it was Fat City - easily the ginchiest flick I’ve seen in a hot minute (and that’s the word from the bird).
If you haven’t seen it, I don’t want to be a wet nag, so I’ll keep the ending on the down low, but don’t wait, daddy-o - it’s radioactive!
OK, I can’t keep it up. :D
Yes, today I took the wife, son, and daughter-in-law to the theater to see a 66 year-old movie (and one which we’ve all seen before, many times). But the experience was great, and it’s one of my wife’s favorite movies (as well as a very important and influential one), so it was well worth it.
One might even say it was the bee’s knees. 😁

This has become my new favorite way to get my local weather forecast (although I don’t think it works outside of the US): WeatherStar 4000+.
It emulates the feeling of watching The Weather Channel’s “local on the 8s” circa the late 90s / early 2000s, but it’s interactive, on-demand, and even includes a replica light-jazz soundtrack.
I installed it as a PWA on both my laptop and my phone. 😁
Also, it can be self-hosted, but the original author’s site has been good enough for me (so far).

#FrakturFreitag: Jemand hat Geburtstag und hier ist der Draft für die Karte. (Oder – wie beim letzten Mal – die tatsächliche Karte, wenn ich zu faul bin, das nochmal „sauber“ zu machen. 😝)
Das Geschenk ist ein Zeitungsabo, daher dieses äußerst kreative „Gedicht“.
Diesmal auf die Uhr geschaut: Gedauert hat das ~30 Minuten. Und weil ich es wagte, so lange dasselbe Bild auf meinem Monitor anzuzeigen – meine Buchstabenreferenz –, hab’ ich jetzt erstmal für werweißwielange ’ne tolle Image Retention.
Ich brauche einen neuen Monitor.
