Y9 D219

Last day of the year, decided to sleep in a bit. Why the heck not. I actually did quite a bit yesterday and I want to see if I can remember everything. First I finished watching season 4 of Black Mirror. Not bad since it was release Friday. I posted this on Twitter already but for those of you who don't follow me there, here's my ranking of the season:


1. Black Museum (E6)2. Metalhead (E5)3. Hang the DJ (E4)4. USS Callister (E1)5. Arkangel (E2)6. Crocodile (E3)
I especially loved the little touches in Black Museum that brought all six episodes, and the prior seasons, together. I started the day with Crocodile and was worried because it was meh. I had really enjoyed USS Callister and it wasn't getting better with episodes 2 or 3. Thankfully Hang the DJ took it back in the right direction. Some may disagree with me on Metalhead, but I really enjoyed the black and white filming but more I liked the whole lack of context. What happened? Why are there robot 'dogs' everywhere? WTF? Don't care. Just going to go with it and enjoy the episode. By not asking questions I was really able to get into it. And then Black Museum. Well that was just the shit. 3 stories in one plus all the easter eggs you can handle? Hell yes. One of the side stories was actually based on a short by Penn Jillette which I thought was cool. In the end, 4 strong episodes, one okay one, and one meh. Not bad. Now to wait another year for season 5.

Other things from yesterday included ordering B a birthday gift. I got her a 'Retromini' handheld ROM based game. It plays GB, GBC, GBA, and NES roms. She saw it and had to have it. It will be here in about 2 weeks and that makes it a perfect birthday gift. I already have something in mind for Valentines Day and I need to order it soon. It takes 2-3 weeks to arrive as well.

Did we leave the house? Hmm. Shit, did we? Wait, yes, because I realized I was low on gas. Went to the store around 4 to get some riced cauliflower to go with the slow cooker stew I made. Ha. Memory you be the thing. I wonder what a doctor would say about me writing like this for so many years. Have I helped to stave off memory loss or other things? Regardless, I have a chronicle for when the memory loss starts seeping in. I am old this year you know. Past the point of no return. Sigh.

That's about it, may you all have a nice NYE. I am going to take some advice I saw recently. I plan on being in bed normal time so I can start my new year refreshed, clear headed, and full of positive energy unlike a number of people out there. Try it, might work for you. Better than waking up with a fizzy tongue and a headache I would say (and trust me, I have way too much experience on that front).

See you in 2018 people.
