Weekly diary, July 14, 2019
After another round of showers, things have cleared up enough that we barbecued today. Last year we went almost directly from cold and gloomy to wildfire smoke and never managed to use the barbecue at all.
Phosphor has been known as Noodle Cat since he was a few months old. Note how, if someone weren't already sitting behind him, he could claim all three spots on the couch.
The first set of summer premiere reviews is up. The highlight image that shows up on the main blog page is the screencap from Astra Lost in Space. Somehow that image gets funnier and funnier every time I look at it. (It wasn't supposed to be funny in context.)
The big news in SMOFdom this week is Marriott being sued by the District of Columbia over "resort fees".
In between anime shows, have almost finished the re-read of Lost Cities of Africa.
I finished the summer premieres (BEM turns out to have been pushed back a week) and caught all the second episodes I needed to catch that are available this week. Probably final lineup: Dr. Stone, Granbelm, Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?, BEM, and The Ones Within.
Took Eggsy to this week's mini-tournament and got a result right down the middle: one win, one loss, one bye. I hate byes, even if they do count as wins for power level purposes. I'd rather actually play and lose. I still learn every time I play.
Did not read anything terribly useful in the political realm this week.
