Saw Part 1 again at the Alamo a couple of weeks ago. The last 20 mins or so drags, but otherwise, that movie rules so hard. Just the best filmmaking across the board and the visuals and sound in the theater are incredible. The CGI isn't seamless, but it's pretty damn close. The whole movie feels tactile, which is a real rarity in big movies these days. Can't wait for Part 2.

I'd give it another look. It's a classic

At least the women are on at 3pm.

What a wild thread bump.

Thanks for checking in. Sorry I haven't given any updates. My 180 day marrow tests came back negative and my engraftment test said 100%, essentially meaning I have all new marrow. Wild. It's been really hard to process, mainly because my doctor said that he doesn't really feel we're done until 2 years post-transplant. He said he's only had one or two come back because of a relapse after 2 years. That said, all of the current metrics are right where they need to be, so I'm in the best position I could be in. In general, I feel 100% normal outside of some minor issues here and there. Just have to wait out another 18 months. My marrow tests will be every 6 months from here on (assuming no relapse) and I'll see the doctor when I go get them done. I do have to keep doing blood tests weekly for now here in Austin to make sure my meds aren't causing issues. I will slowly be able to wean off of those in the future, so looking forward to that. He does want me on a drug that he thinks helps keep it away, as they have had good results with it on relapses. My insurance rejected it because they're fucks who know more than the best cancer hospital in the world. I asked what the out of pocket was and they told me it was $19K. Per month. I'm waiting on a response on my appeal, but how is that in any way a properly functioning industry? Good luck to everyone. Keep truckin' TLDR: Best place I can be, but still need to stay vigilant. Fuck medical costs and insurance companies.

Awesome. My 7 year old daughter has gotten into the original series somehow. It’s not a great show but the theme song still rips. She’ll love this.

This is probably the most talked about thing in the history of Hornfans/Shaggy/Surly. It's been noted.

Whatever you think of the conclusion, this is an unreal passage from the opinion of the Hawaii Supreme Court:

Love Lawrence Wright and the book. It’s a great read. I’ll definitely tune into the series.

We did a boat trip on Mallorca a couple of years ago and spent a night on the front end and a couple nights on the back end in Palma. We bounced to coastal towns on the boat for the days in between. I'll ask my friends and see if anyone remembers where we went throughout the trip. There was a lot of booze and places were written in something called "Spanish", so I don't remember specific places we went.

Me and a buddy are making our way to Lawrence this year to pay our respects to God's Gift to Basketball before we take off to the SEC. Anyone going this year? Anyone been in the past and have tips on the town before/after the game?

Had to edit myself.

Abmas with two MASSIVE plays.

Off the rim but real dumb by Shedrick

I am a massive fan of Layer Cake and really wish he would go back to that (the diner scene is A+ filmmaking), instead of dumb CGI-fest action movies.

Always loved this song. That first album of hers was pretty great. She hosted some New Year's thing too and she was a mess there. I give it somewhat of a pass since it was New Year's, but obviously there is more to it.

I have not dug too deep into the early or latest albums but Red and 1989 are legitimately great records.

That was a foul. Mitchell has been great but he needs to be more aggressive there on the lay up.

Rough OT so far.

Can we run the old Barnes half court throw and call a TO?

Got caught in the air. Fuck.

If we lose, it's due to FT's. Missed a bunch of big ones the last few minutes.

Zone of Interest was horrifying. Just the mundanity of the evil was worse than showing it. Definitely a capital “A” Art film, which I usually don’t respond to but this was very effective. The sounds and visuals in the background really tell the story and are horrific.
