    I read Follett's new one, this time a prequel to The Pillars of the Earth.  It was good.  I feel like with the two sequels and now this one, he has mostly rewritten Pillars three times in different time frames.  This one is set around the turn of the last millennium, so England is showing the first signs of eventually coming out of the dark ages and there are lots of Viking raids.  It also has the familiar tropes - the genius builder, the evil scheming bishop and his family, the couple that fall in love but are kept apart by their different classes and said scheming bishop.  But I really loved the original, so this was good too.

    I think it's the other way around.  Red on Yellow kills a fellow, Red on Black venom lack.

    Won't someone think of poor friendless Jack?

    Watching ratched. It’s good, but I’m not yet sure it should be nurse ratched as opposed to just another ahs season. 
     

    well, murphy signed a deal with netflix but I'm sure fx retains rights to the franchise, so there you go

    The lack of a 13th data point being held against Baylor and TCU will be even more laughable than it was at the time when Ohio State gets in playing 7-9 games.  The Big 12 might decide to go to an 8 game schedule in response.

  5. We haven't done well but somehow there's this idea that we're the worst which also isn't true.  This week's economist has the following deaths per 100k population:

    • Belgium 86
    • Spain 65
    • UK 61
    • USA 59
    • Italy 59
    • Sweden 58
    • France 48
    • Netherlands 37

    European countries that have done well:

    • Portugal 19
    • Germany 11
    • Denmark 11
    • Finland 6
    • Norway 5
  6. I've seen a lot of reviews say the dialogue was hard to understand.  I saw it at a drive through and could understand everything fine.  I think being able to turn up the volume for dialogue and then turn it back down for the action and score heavy scenes helped a lot.

    If George is willing to take a shorter contract, something like 3/$75mm,  then he could stay. If he’s looking for 6/7 years at $30+ million per, then cya. 

    you generally have to pay more per year on a shorter deal
