This morning’s Breakfast Club was a great way to end the year. Very grateful for the new friends I’ve made this year, and happily looking forward to continuing to growing our group and friendships in 2025.

Today’s mood: Nu Shooz, “I Can’t Wait”. 🎵

Watched: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). 🎥🍿🎄

Always crack up at the montage where all of the kids see Jack as Santa and receive their gifts.

Breakfast burrito for lunch and damn if that didn’t hit just right. Need more breakfast foods incorporated into all of my meals. 🌯

Come for the little girl singing, stay for her brother’s dancing. #cantGetYouOuttaMyHead #nextFuckingLevel

Just waiting for the standalone Krypto movie now. #superman

Today’s mood: Chrissie Hynde, “2000 Miles”. 🎵

The end of the week will bring the end of my work schedule for the year. Couldn’t get here fast enough.

Today’s mood: Salt-N-Pepa, “None Of Your Business”. 🎵

Watched: Endurance (2024). 🎥🍿

The Karate Kid Legends trailer looks great and all. Yay Jackie Chan and Yay for Ben Wang. But the burning question really is: Where is Hilary Swank in all of this? Also, are the events from Cobra Kai taking place in this same universe? 🎥🍿🥋

Today’s mood: The Hives & Cyndi Lauper, “A Christmas Duel”. 🎵🎄

While I haven’t thrown in the towel I can’t help but think we’re at end of life for the Insta360 R & RS series. I love the modular and easy configurability, and don’t want to shop for a replacement yet, but it just doesn’t seem to be supported anymore. Even batteries are getting harder to find.

Watched: Robin Hood(1973) 🎥🍿🏹

They don’t make them like they used to.

A few days ago an elementary school classmate posted a video of current students singing the school song. It hasn’t changed since I went there (almost 40 years ago). And I remembered every single word of it. I can’t remember two days ago but, I can remember that. 😁

The Love Hurts (2025) trailer has shades of Romeo Must Die (2000) and I’m here for it.

Today’s mood: The Ting Tings, “Danced on a Wire”. 🎵

Went to lab, this morning, for blood work. All of the lab techs and receptionists were wearing holiday sweaters. Festive! Although their demeanor did not match. Quite the opposite, actually. Interesting juxtaposition for the start of the week.

Today’s mood: A Tribe Called Quest, “Check The Rhime”. 🎵

Oh, my heart. Also: Ack, my heart! #breakfast #chickenFriedSteak

A plate of scrambled eggs and chicken fried steak with hashbrowns and toast. There’s a side of bacon between us, and a plate of French toast for my wife.

Today’s mood: Peter Gabriel, “Digging In the Dirt”. 🎵

Cold and rainy Saturday made for a lazy morning. After breakfast I made a batch of Chex mix, did some (online) shopping, and tinkered with a few video games. Felt good to relax.

Today’s mood: Dire Straits, “Brothers In Arms”. 🎵

Watched Transformers One (2024). 🎥🍿

Inject that Gen X nostalgia directly into my veins! Great nods to the 1984 movie and the Transformers Prime series.
