A-Tex Devil

I think there is a possibility Top Gun wins best picture. Just a feeling give ranked voting. Everything is awesome and my choice. But old people don’t get it. Banshees is also awesome but I don’t feel it getting best picture. Tar is an amazing performance buried in a pretentious film. I really like Triangle of Sadness but it’s not winning. Alls Quiet won by being nominated. Avatar gets it on III if it is solid like Lord of the Rings.

Right. He’s the dude Jake warned his wife about - the guy that charms you. But fat T-1000 jumped the gun and hired him before she could object. And lo and behold he’s a spy.

I was watching The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent on plane this morning. Haven't finished it yet, but he is quite funny in this and stands up to Nic Cage in the self-aware overacting category. It has been funny thus far, but I think I am predicting the ending and will have disappoint.

Didn’t want to out myself, but yeah… I presume there is a dude or two from the twenties (1920s) that Spencer is loosely based on given he is quasi-famous in the world of this show. Anyone have thoughts on that?

Loved this show. You could see the Peaky Blinders genes but felt very different which was good. Based on my reading up on the history, outside the French spy it seems extremely historically accurate for something like this.

I like Shrinking. Ted Lasso, Scrubs and Cougar Town don’t have realistic dialogue/characters either but they are all fun. It’s like people forgot who created this show The dude that plays Sean is great. Agree Christa Miller is giving off Jason Stoltz Mask vibes…. Or maybe Richard Kiel? I dunno. She looks weird.

I don’t watch Yellowstone. If I did would the Indian School/runaway/priest plot line make sense? I presume it ties into larger plot at some point. Getting Danni stuck in Essos vibes with Spencer and Alex.

There were tunnels built out and overdeveloped or something like that. They had a one liner about it. The thing I heard on a podcast that I chuckled at was if Joel knew KC Fedra was brutal even by Fedra standards, why did he route through KC? Who cares though. Great episode.

That is where my head is at. I just am unclear how this usually goes if we want to make contractor do it again. Don’t want to say too much else at this point because the GC, due to our inexperience/naïveté was foisted on us by designer, and designer probably known by someone here. Designer selected three railing styles, we picked one, GC managed installation. But the only reason we bother with the code argument is extra ammo if we make them redo all the stairs because of the paint issue. I don’t really want to rip everything out because I am super fatigued by the whole remodel. But I also paid a lot for them to do it right This has been a helpful “crowdsourcing” exercise. Thanks, all.

hmmmm…… Permits weren’t pulled. But other issue is that they painted those railings without properly protecting hardwood (which you see is really light) and we have lots of black paint that has stained the stairs. Basically the really light colored wood shows black paint in the grain on several steps now and around where the railings are in the steps. The sub that did the stairs told us unsolicited they wanted to use it for examples of their work but can’t because railing team fucked it all up. So that’s on GC for not protecting the stairs, right?. They are trying to sand/clean it out but it’s not coming out so we think they need to redo everything. The railings not being to code is just further ammo. Curious why it is not GC’s fault for installing it not to code? We are dumb. How are we supposed to know that? All that said, I am fatigued and can give or take most of this. Shit works just fine, and I am not as bothered. But other half is incensed by both issues.

For the contractors/inspectors out there do these stair rails violate Austin code? It’s more than 7” on top and bottom. Within the 4” code in the middle Designer sold us on these and we really like them but we’ve had two subs warn us now that they don’t think they are to code. We have another issue that might have us forcing them to rip them out and do it again. But this would give us more ammo.

Tàr. Blanchett is brilliant but I don’t really get it.

The take the sniper out then become the sniper scene reminded me of GTA. Imagine that is probably straight out of the game, no?

Wasn’t Sonny Vaccaro kind of a piece of shit? Maybe I am remembering wrong. Not sure he needs a Rudy-ification.

Good for her and fuck the haters. She is awesome in Yellowjackets. Heavenly Creatures FTMFW

We love our GLS. If you want smaller I am sure the other GL classes are comparable amenity wise.

Title: Bumbling on Bumble Fade in: INT. MONK'S CAFE - DAY Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer are sitting at a booth when George walks in, looking defeated. GEORGE: (sighing) I’m done with women. They just don’t get me. JERRY: What happened now? GEORGE: (angrily) I’ve been using Bumble and no one will talk to me. I can’t even get a match. ELAINE: (surprised) Really? I thought you were such a catch. GEORGE: (deflated) Apparently not. KRAMER: (excitedly) That’s where I come in! I’m a master at getting matches on dating apps. GEORGE: (skeptical) Really? How? KRAMER: (winking) Let’s just say I know how to work the system. CUT TO: INT. MONK’S CAFE - LATER Kramer is giving George a crash course in online dating, including tips on how to take the perfect profile picture and craft the perfect message to get women to initiate the conversation. CUT TO: INT. MONK’S CAFE - LATER George is frantically checking his phone, but there’s still no match. GEORGE: (despondent) This isn’t working.

George’s face falls as he realizes he’s been the subject of a running joke on the dating app.

Were Jennifer Lawrence, Hailee Steinfeld, Shailene Woodley and Chloe Grace-Moritz not available?

I am stunned that wasn’t followed by a Karen rant given the look she’s shooting across the aisle.

Yep. My bad.

Was heading to Taco Deli this afternoon and all of Westlake Village still out. They have the H‑E‑B up and running but everything else closed. Sucks for those businesses. Matt’s will be extra crowded tonight with Lupe’s closed. Now it seems we are under a boil water notice. https://www.austintexas.gov/news/austin-water-issues-precautionary-citywide-boil-water-notice-mandatory-emergency-water-use-restrictions-are-issued

Back up in Bee Cave Woods according to my neighbor and my Google Home app - One hour after I checked into hotel and got kids ready to go to sleep. I am going back to tee house up for the morning - run dishwasher, laundry, all that crap. But it may take me several hours to complete those tasks before I get back to the fam, the last couple of which will be at the Westin Bar.

In Bee Cave Woods power is still out. Looks like they are working on it.

God I hope during these sham investigations some folks just tells whoever is asking the questions to go get their shinebox. That $1.5b comment was prime grade a down the middle fastball beef. That dude wasn’t up to the task though. maybe they’ll put Kinzinger on the stand at some point.
