we going to talk about Baby Reindeer? because holy rough ridin' crap

that was hard to watch

yeah i didn't have fun with that.  by the time i wanted to get off the ride (that episode), I felt like i was already in too deep and had to see it through.  no fun though.

I am at the epi where she shows up as he is walking home by the canal and pins him against the wall.  Feels super creepy.  Sounds like it's not worth going on.

It gets considerably worse.

I’m out.

I quit as well.  I found myself hoping that every character would get murdered to put them and myself out of our collective misery.

And it's worse knowing that it's based on a true story.

the hardest part of this show to watch is the main character's standup routine.

yeah.  i thought they actually did a really good job of writing a "mediocre small time performance art standup show."  Like, I get what he was trying to do and i get why it wasn't working.  I thought they depicted that element really well.

i watched the whole season and am glad I did because it was impactful and interesting but it took a few days to shake it off.

i’m curious if they plan on a second season.

attorney here checking in-

point of order here on this subject- I never, ever, ask a witness to testify by using the term “take the stand”.  what is this, Matlock? wow, sorry for the obnoxious question. 

interestingly, I usually meet with the jury and my witnesses offline and explain to them that I have a system that is very different than most might use.

when I blink just my right eye three times, it means “take the stand”.  when I blink my left eye three times, it means to lie and quit telling the truth to the jury. 

two alternating blinks means great job, now leave the stand and return to your seat.

yeah lots of mistakes.  its kind of crazy how much of an impact that the play of both teams in the last minute of game 1 will have on the entire series.

odds are that it will decide the series.

hard to believe that the pacers didn’t foul at the end of regulation.  great game ruined by a boston win.

I watched about 30 minutes of Heat for the first time ever and was a solid 5/7 pak level on Saturday night. It was when I realized that both Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were both in the movie and weren't the same guy is when I turned it off and went to bed.

one of my favorite movies

streetcar is great in theory, but how many people does each one hold?  a couple hundred?  running every 8-10 minutes, seems like an ineffective way to get out of the area quickly if a lot of people are planning on using it once it's expanded.

the streetcar continues to be the novelty that it was designed to be.  it is not mass transit and never was meant to be.  come at me titola.

i’m disappointed by the knickerbockers’ play today.  all made worse by losing the series to the pacers. 

i never expected to be rooting for the wolves in late may, but here we are.

the Pacers are great unlike you clams! 

the best pacers team in history was in a video game (reggie miller and detlef schrempf).

I went to two nights of Dead and Co at the Sphere this weekend. It was amazing. The place is huge, the screen creates the impression of 3 dimensions, not just a large tv screen.  Sat in the 300’s section right in the center on Friday night and that spot is about perfect. Last night we grabbed some upper level stub hub tix and went again and it was still fantastic.

We spoke to a dude who worked for the production crew and he said they plan to  build more in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, but expect to be able to build more and more.

It’s transformative. Any kind of event would be amazing in that venue. Even sports. It’s so rough ridin' immersive.  I’m convinced that someday every major city will have one and it will be the standard for how people experience live events.

the sounds great and the pictures i’ve seen are amazing. 

i echo your sentiments about the sphere and can only imagine how incredible it would be to binge watch a season of the bachelor on it.

Like at first I was like “oh, maybe they’re using Mexican/central American key limes, and that’s understandable bc not everybody has a Lime Guy in Florida. But no, these mfrs deadass using Persian limes. Persian lime pie (still looks great and would devour, great job on the PLP ‘pclms!)

you’re missing your closing marks, lmfao

with that said, i can appreciate your focus on clarity in naming conventions, especially as it relates to fruit.  can we talk, for a moment, about which borough you currently live in, BIG APPLE CAT?
