arcane has been quite good though the second season does feel rushed now that i know they are closing up shop after this one when five were originally planned. apparently its the most expensive anime(tion) series produced at $250 million for 18 episodes.

every Sunday I watch the latest YT drop from a Dutch guys weekly Italian alps off grid stone barn renovation show. Before that he did a two year North and South American cycling trip. And another two year Netherlands to China trip. The link is to part 3 of 4, the beginning of the South American portion of the trip.

What movies can you think of that used a prism for FX? Or that had a kaleidoscopic effect. Say leading up to a car crash or getting dosed or hit on the head?

Looking at you Pennsylvania 

Went out with Laurie Brown and SdB to watch the series game. Didn't go so well. And why do I think it's emotional prep for the election?

250,000 wapo cancellations in the past week. That's a lot.

RIP Gary Indiana, 74

been trying to cut back on the bready products for the last two months. mostly successful. lets say an 80% reduction. still snacking on the nuts and some breaded chicken cutlets are the main offenders. maybe a bag of soft corn torillas might have slipped in there. 

still not exactly dieting but i am eating a lot more fruit. maybe thats not particularly conducive to dieting if you eat a lot of it but i have to eat something. anyway, just lugged a cantaloupe and pineapple home in my overstrained daypack from the wholesale club. that is joined by some honeycrisps, kiwi, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, grapes and bananas. got some frozen blueberries, bananas, pineapple and strawberries for good measure. if im not making smoothies from the frozen bits im just chopping up the rest and putting it in a bowl to be picked at though ive started in on the yogurt as a mix and got some superfood, not flaxseed but similar to sprinkle on next. ill be making açai bowls before you know it. 

some quality trash tv. season 2 of the diplomat airs oct 31.
