Watchlist bound. Look, I’ve seen enough Dracula movies to lose count, and I still can’t crown a winner. But something about this one has me intrigued. Vampire films just hit different for me.
Added to my watchlist. The movie trailer looks interesting. The movie is called In The Blink of An Eye. It should come out sometime in 2026 on Hulu.
I am taking a break from watching TV. I want to read a book! So I am currently reading: The Secret of Secrets (Robert Langdon, #6) by Dan Brown đ
I am bingeing on TV series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, I have read books 1-4. But I can’t read if I had read the 5th or not. I just learned that there is the 6th book. I will read both books when I get a chance.
Wow, I looked at the window just now, and guess what? It is SNOWING! Big flakes!!! âď¸âď¸âď¸
Apparently, a bagel isnât a bagel unless itâs boiled. If it just gets baked, itâs basically a roll with a hole. Fun Fact: The boiled version originates from medieval Polish Jewish communities between the 13th and 17th centuries. 𤨠Link

Weâre quietly eating tens of thousands of microplastic particles every year, and some may linger in our bodies for life without us even knowing it. This piece explains how fibre might actually help us flush some of them out. Read online.
My dad just got Starlink, and we might hook it up today. Iâm excited to see how well it works in our corner of Appalachia. Internet outages here can last for days, especially in the harsh weather, so Iâm hoping Starlink will keep us online when our regular service goes down.
âDesiccantâ is that tiny packet hiding in packages, quietly keeping things dry so they donât spoil. I always wondered what they were, until I learned what they were after a Gizmodo email led me to Xikipedia, then to the Simple Wikipedia article.

Trees on Buildings, Poison in Our Food, and Why I'm Going Analog
So I've been reading about some random stuff lately, and these things have been sitting in my head for a while. You know how it isâyou start with skyscrapers covered in forests, end up at the grocery store aisle, and somehow land on Bambi, of all things.
Anyway, figured Iâd share. You might find them interesting too.
Buildings with actual forests on them I love buildings covered in greenery. Walls, balconies, entire facadesâjust filled with plants. Itâs brilliant. Iâm a total black thumbâI can kill a cactusâbut that doesnât stop me from appreciating it. I grew up in an Appalachian town surrounded by trees. Iâd sit for hours just looking at âŚ
Talk about timing! Got an email about the Cross series right after binging three episodes. Season 2 starts in 5 daysâthe article suggests books to read while watching. If you’re into crime thrillers and the Cross series, these books are worth checking out.
Confession: I’m a snoozer sometimes. That extra 15 minutes feels like a gift ⌠until a 2022 study says otherwise. Hitting snooze actually restarts your sleep cycle, leaving you groggier. Just found it interesting. Will I stop? Probably not. You?
Love Jatan’s “Yes and No” conceptâmight craft my own version soon. Agreed with most, though I chuckled at his Mac/iPhone pick as part of Yes, while I’m rocking Android + Mac/Windows. Not judgingâjust preference. đ
My M1 Mac Mini (8GB RAM, 256GB) is noticeably lagging after 5 yearsâjust juggling multiple browsers, apps like Canva, emails (Outlook/Shortwave), & Microsoft 365. Is it time for an upgrade, perhaps to a Mac Air 15"?, or will I face the same slowdown in the time frame? Decisions, decisions.
I have 2 moka pots &âŁď¸them. The moka pot is named after the Yemeni port of Mocha, historically a major coffee-export hub to Europe & famous for its distinctive coffee, which gave us today’s ‘mocha’ drinksâthough the pot itself is an Italian icon. Is it fascinating? Here is a good read.
I’m undecided about continuing until I read Decider’s article recommending streaming it. [Link]
So, I’ll keep watching to see where it goes. For now…
Currently watching: Cross S1E4, Masks đż.

Gosh, I just caught Ben’s Chili Bowl on TV, and it instantly brought back some amazing memories. I lived in DC for 28 yearsâwow, I really missed that city!

TV Nights: What Iâm Watching in February
Iâm currently hooked on an exhilarating TV series that combines suspense, drama, and unforgettable characters. Each episode leaves me wanting more, making it a total binge-worthy experience!

Indeed, it is true.
Caring can be incredibly powerful.
But so can not caring.
What stands out about this film, Fly Away Home, is the photo belowâit’s such a remarkable act a human can perform to assist the geese in flying.
