I’ve been home now for about a week. You have no idea how great this feels! The streets are still familiar, the buildings look different but it all still feels like home. I’ve been setting up furniture and going through containers almost constantly for the last few days. Today, I received and assembled my first new bed since I was six years old. Figures this would finally happen at a time when certainly I’m never going to have sex again. Story of my life. At any rate, I think I’ll be spending tomorrow wrapping up the last few big things to arrange in the apartment. Pretty much the kitchen, and the poker lounge. After that pretty much all that’s left is the studio equipment.
It looks like I shouldn’t have any trouble setting up the studio now. I’ve just about worked out how to arrange and store everything to make setup and tear down fast and efficient. I’ve even worked out a talk show configuration for the new studio. Maybe I’ll be able to start up a new show sooner rather than later. I’m looking forward to start recording podcasts again. I may start hitting open mics in the next couple days, start making new friends and all. Who knows? MAybe as a single, middle-aged man I’ll be able to make new friends and start doing fun things again. I guess only time will tell…
You know how much I love the first season of Andor and I finally took the time to catch up on season two and I’m watching the new episodes right now. I have a lot of thoughts and I’ll be reviewing it properly later this week. In short, my concerns about how they formatted this season have been pretty accurate. It is of course well done, my concerns were in regard to pacing and storytelling. Again, I’ll write more on this later.
Ok, I’m coming up on a second deadline since I started writing this so, I need to wrap it up. Also, I have a job interview so, I should probably get in a nap or something soon. I’ve been watching Futurama again recently. I haven’t watched the last few seasons of this show as many times as I’ve watched the first five so I often forget just how good those seasons really are. The attention to detail and continuity is astounding I f you haven’t watched Futurama lately, you should. you may learn something new, or at least notice something you didn’t before. Example Given; in the pilot, they show Nibbler’s shadow under Fry’s chair as he’s knocked into the cryogenic tube. And then in the episode Jurassic Bark, from what I’ve been able to pull up short of rewatching the episode again right now, we again see Fry falling into the cryogenic tube but this time we see another shadow under the chair aside from Nibbler’s. In an episode after that one, The why of Fry, we learn definitively that not only did Nibbler knock Fry into the tube but also that the second shadow is from Fry being sent back to stop Nibbler. Like I said, astounding attention to detail.
