Good evening fine people. Well, ofcourse, you’re fine if you’re reading my turd of a blog. Christmas is over but I’ll drop a little Christmas music as a last hurrah. DJ hit that music.
What I’ve Been Watching
Ofcourse I watch quite a bit of golf, as I’m a sports nut. You can’t forget my Chicago Cubs and it’s the season, and the year for the Chicago Bears. Friends that are a part of my Plex server know that I’m a huge movie buff as well. With the rise of streaming services, and so many good shows to watch the proverbial question to ask is ,”What service is it on?” With all these services you could spend the cost of cable and then some all these costs. I’d like to point out a little sidenote comment on these streaming services. The ads on the ad-supported streaming services are way too frequent. It should just be two advertisements at the beginning of the show and then be done. Not every three minutes. Apple does it best with their Apple+ streaming service. No advertisements at all. 4k level of streaming. Coming to Apple+ next year: Formula One. So it’ll be interesting to watch.
But what I’m watching.
All Her Fault
Pluribus
It’s a little sci-fi. Neat premise. From Vince Gilligan the guy who wrote and directed Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Gym Etiquette
The gym has become the new nightclub—women and men dressing to be noticed. I get it: you work out hard, and you want to show off the results of your labor. I might be an oddity in that I don’t mind the occasional “Hello” or “Good job getting to the gym,” but I’m not there to flirt.
I’ll delve into my two pet peeves. This one mostly applies to teenagers and people in their twenties and thirties.
After each set of exercises, you don’t need to pull out your phone and check Instagram to see if you missed something. You didn’t. The world is still going on. Guys, you didn’t miss some bikini model’s post that won’t still be there in forty-five minutes.
Ladies, you don’t need to do a set of exercises and then look at your butt in the mirror from twenty different angles in your Lululemon leggings. Lululemon invested millions in R&D with the sole purpose of making your tush look good from every angle. There’s no need to check and make sure it’s still there.
Perhaps even worse, if you feel the need to do a “self-check,” don’t ask me to take a photo while I’m waiting to use the equipment.
Maybe I’ve reached grumpy old man stage.
Golf Meets Christmas
TaylorMade had a good behind the scenes of their Christmas card.
Lastly….
I found this little gem on my news feed. Princess Charlotte stopped for a selfie while doing the ‘Royal Walk’ out with family. Is that weird for a ten-year-old? But she handled it well. A video was even taken of the moment.
