I wouldn’t say it’s bad, just different than early Dave. It’s more story telling than small bits. Maybe because I like storylines that tie together at the end (eg Seinfeld), Dave’s current format is still enjoyable. I give her a pass because of the Vietnamese mail salon bit which was spot on (according to all my Asian female friends).
Background: We’re close with 2 families who both have 9 YO girls. One is plain looking but is funny and a blast to be around. The other is really pretty but had some serious mom-daughter anger issues. Me to my 10 YO boy: If humanity depended on it, who would you pick to be your girlfriend? 10 YO: I pick suicide. Me: I mean it when I say humanity depended on it. Civilization would cease to exist if you didn’t make a choice. 10 YO: Civilization’s had a good run. We don’t need it to keep going.
Lucky to be spending the Christmas break with one of my wife’s bridesmaids and her family. She’s hilarious, her husband’s a really nice guy, and the kids are playing well with mine even though they’re younger. As a return gesture, I’ve made a few breakfasts and all of the dinners. They must not be good cooks, because the daughter has scarfed everything up and made multiple “this is the best …. I’ve ever had.”
Really looking forward to this. I read the Odyssey during high school and loved it. Not as much as the Illiad, but still excellent.
I don’t remember the part where he came upon the undead. Really hope he doesn’t skip with part with the sirens and then Odysseus and his son killing all the people in his house.
BTW, there’s a POS book called the Lost Island where it presupposes the island with the cyclops was actually off the coast of Venezuela or some Caribbean country. It’s stupid and don’t waste your time reading it.
Turns out the burglar with the flashlight was my robot vacuum / mop moving around and its light reflecting off the glass door.
I just figured it out because my ring camera detected motion. I turned on the camera, and since it was still light outside, I could see robot scooting around.
Whew.
I have Asian friends who voted for Trump because… lower taxes.
The don’t understand that lower taxes don’t offset tariffs, increased inflation, increased national debt, etc.
Nothing’s free. Costs at least $1.05.
We’re on our annual ski trip and I had a few bad falls on the first day.
The first one I landed on my right with my first pounding into my ribs.
The second one I did a Superman and thankfully had googles on because I partially landed on my face.
Anyway, I think I bruised my rib and it hurts to stand up straight / bend down / get into and out of bed. Guess I’m done skiing for the rest of the trip.
