Over the last couple of weeks, I've done what I really should do every frickin' time I go to the office, which is go get a TKTS ticket and see a show after work. I work a block from Times Square, it's easy. Sometimes, I plan to and then the day gets me and I'm …
Media Consumption
Let's see... Movies After getting back from Disney, I did rewatches of Beauty and the Beast and Ratatouille. Both gems. I watched Fackham Hall, not expecting a lot, and it turned out to be really funny! I do love the Airplane! genre, and this skewered the Downton Abbey stuff very nicely. I also finished Zootopia …
Dismally Domestic
"Grabbing a half hour before I get in the shower", he typed rhymingly. Despite my laundry list of blog topics that really should be tackled soonest, I've decided to grumble and rant about my latest attempts at having or making nice things. I just made puff pastry pizza again this week. I actually bought mozzarella …
*sigh*
I was behind on blogging anyway, and I wrote, like, half a post the other day. I was going to finish it off and push it up and it's completely missing. Argh. That's odd, WordPress is usually great about saving that stuff without you having to push a button or anything. Well, I don't have …
Cross Examination, pt. 3
Sorry, I know this is late. Part 1. Part 2. So, to remind you all, this all started right at the top of the year, and it took about a week to get the jury together, and they set the schedule as being Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, so we didn't get started until the second Wed …
A Veritable Smorgasbord
The word 'veritable' came up in the NY Times "Strands" puzzle recently and my brain instantly leapt to this. https://youtu.be/kf1bu5sUXaU?si=kpNQyvYQxCZziX4p I hadn't heard that in years! Sam and I were both fans of the book as kids, and we as a family went to see the movie, which I didn't love, but have grown to …
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo (pt. 3)
Now we're up to Sunday (Mar. 8th). Daylight Saving Time happened overnight, urgh, but I woke up at my traditional time, now 6:15. My legs hurt (I'd done 25K steps or so the day before) and I had a blister forming on my right foot. Oh, well, no hope for it. This day was starting …
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo (pt. 2)
Saturday! Magic Kingdom day! I'd bought a two-day 'park hopper' pass, so theoretically I could go to any of the four parks, but Magic Kingdom was what I'd planned. The way you jump the line at DW is called "Lightning Lanes". You could buy a set of 3 timed entrees (one each) to a selected …
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo (pt. 1)
So, as threated, I went to Disney World last weekend! It was a blast! Growing up, my family was not an amusement park family. (we were a sailing family, and also a 'go to odd Central American countries' family.) I did get to go with friends' families to King's Dominion and Busch Gardens and had …
Camaraderie
This is just a 'life of Eric' post. I promise I will wrap up the Tale of the Jury Trial soon, but I have a case of the I-dohn-wanna's about it, which I'll just have to push through, probably on Sunday. Good things happening! For instance, I am going to Disney World! Next weekend! I …
