TNG and myself took the opportunity to watch Predator: Killer of Killers while the rest of the family were in christ country for a week. That film really surprised me as it was so well done. I think the animation actually worked better than 'live action'. I really hope they make it an ongoing thing.

To be fair there are some great nuggets in the film, especially the expansion of Carl's Jr into a major commercial and governmental entity.  And the Costco nestled into the fields of garbage with the engaging greeters.  The tattoed name of the male protagonist is good, too.  I might have finished it but my husband, who is a great deal less tolerant of crappy movies, just bolted so I had to turn it off.

Come to think of it, "Welcome to Costco, I love you" is one of the most articulate things anyone is capable of saying in that future.  It's a complete sentence and is, for all intents and purposes, grammatically correct.

I once had a roommate who liked to make those.  Mine has more stuff in it so it gets pretty messy once removed from the pan and put onto a plate.

Adventures in baking:
I bake blueberry muffins frequently and they usually turn out fine, but recently I bought and froze some utterly flavorless blueberries.  In order to give them some flavor, I squeezed a small lemon and tossed the fruit in it.  They got a little wet and as a result all the fruit sank to the bottoms of the muffins.  When I attempt to put them in the oven to reheat, they stick to the racks and make a mess.  I guess I'll have to drain them and toss them in flour to avoid this in the future.  At least they taste ok.

It's too hot to cook and the temptation to go get a slice of pizza is very high.

poo, my regular streaming site appears to have been killed by cloudflare. This absolutely sucks, finding a new streaming site that doesn't try to malwarefuck my browser is difficult.

I should have diversified my bonds. Wu Tang Financial warned me!

I got lucky, only my old mirror is dead. The new mirror worked great! And the new episode of murderbot was both highly amusing and infuriatingly short.

I have been watching murderbot. It is an incredibly fun show but the episodes are infuriatingly short.

Like if the episodes were an hour, it would be an amazing show. 20 minute episodes are almost a youtube video at this point.

I also want to know what the deal with the wormhole is. Everyone has to travel through the wormhole, and even the in universe media mentions the wormhole.

I read one of the books in the murderbot series, Network Effect.  It was entertaining.  I did not feel compelled to read more in the series but I can see how it would make for interesting tv.  The wormhole seems to be the main transport but it's been so long since I read the book, I can barely remember it.  Maybe it's explained in the first of the books?  I think I was looking for Hugo award winners as I searched for some new SciFi novel to read and stumbled across that one.  I think it's been made into a movie.  I'll see if I can scare it up.

It's nice to see you back, goldie.  I hadn't heard of that show so I'll see if I can find it as it sounds promising.
