I like it because it's stupid and funny
and yet to dip my toe into season 3 of for all mankind but recall season 2 despite one regrettably soapy plot point ended on quite a cliffhanger.... in spaaaaaace!
feeling the need to scratch that downton abbey itch. not quite as posh but similar vibes from hotel portofino. the tagline mentions a whodunnit but midway through the second episode the inciting incident has yet to be revealed.
Enjoying the first episode of The Offer, a series on the making of The Godfather.

"In Airplane(1980), The casting of professional basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a member of the flight crew was a reference to pro football player Elroy 'Crazylegs' Hirsch's role as a pilot in the serious airplane disaster film Zero Hour! (1957) which is heavily parodied by Airplane."
Anyone gonna watch the Jan 6 hearings? I doubt much will come of them but I do plan on watching tonight's offerings and maybe more..

back to tennis. no mental health issues involved with that world. just mindless ball hitting machines. womens semis today. 18yo american coco gauff is in her first final four. dont quote me on that. current world number 1, some eastern european, is in the first match at 9 followed by the gauff match. meanwhile nadal continues to run the gauntlet facing #3 zverev, uhhh, right now. scratch that, thats tomorrow. fuck me, no, fuck you. it was confusing! now im depressed.
wait for it
checked out the french open draw yesterday. top half of the draw is a beast as nadal despite being the greatest clay court player of all time was only 5th seeded based on i assume a light schedule. so if he gets through his 9th ranked opponent, a young rising canadian who is now coached by nadals uncle, he will have to face djokivic in the quarters and then perhaps the young rising spandiard from the previous post in the semis. only then will he face probably the number two russian guy who has one other top ten player left in his side of the draw. do i know any other there names? the russian but i am loathe to try and spell it and no one really cares anyway.
but i was expecting this to be on espn or i was prepared to be angry that it was now on espn+ streaming for more money but espn dropped the french according to an article because its shitty morning yelling heads shows had better numbers and costs nothing to produce. so its back in the nbc family which means an occasional match on nbc i suspect and peacock+ streaming. so more money for that. but..... also, tennis channel?!? do i "get" tennis channel? yes! so get to watch some rafa this morning to see if he can continue to defy aging a little longer. hes actually "only" 35. old for tennis but not quite as old as i thought he was.
meanwhile espn is running formula one which based on some sports podcasts i listen to has surged in popularity of late. if only mark was still around to see it. rip.
