This is one we’ve made many times, but finally adding here so I don’t have to keep looking back for it!

Something to be said about this — why it’s so easy to appreciate someone who is so clearly themselves and nothing else.

Stumbled across this penguin today – apparently a story about a specific penguin from a 2007 documentary called Encounters From the End of The World that has been living rent free in my head.

In the documentary, this lone penguin decided not to go to the feeding grounds with the group he’s walking with or go back to the colony, instead he decides to just walk into the distance towards the mountains some 70km – as the narrator puts, “it walks towards a certain death, but why”.

And, while the real reason for it probably sad (disorientation or injury), I think it represents something that is a great reminder for how to live your life: you dreams and curiosity should not be discounted in comparison to a meaningless life of marching on. Even if you end up worse for it, the act of acting on your beliefs is a practice of living in and of itself.

This movie was genuinely pretty scary – focused on sort of an evil spirit/religious oriented antagonist.

While it was scary and super entertaining (reason for the 3.77), the ending was just a ridiculous letdown for us and I think because of that it’s hard to give it a truly great score.

Been waiting on this one to come out for a while, and it was pretty good! Basically just a coming-of-age story about Anthony bOurdain and what let him down his culinary path.

I think the film did a good job of placing you in his shoes and conveying the desperation and insecurity that he felt during that time.

Heard this on the way to a house showing today on a perfect fall sunny day – just good vibes all around.

This is a single off his upcoming album so I’ll have to circle back once it’s released.

Went back to Ada-Lowell 5 for the first time in a few years to see the new Resident Evil movie and it was pretty good!

Felt like it was super-intertwined with the video game (never played) so I probably didn’t enjoy as much as someone who loves the game would, but I was still entertained the whole time. The filming was super interesting too because there were shots that felt like you were playing a first-person video game.

Overall, pretty good and the jump scares were insane at the theater. The monsters/zombies got insanely out-of-hand though, so not really as scary as I thought it might be, but was surprisingly funny throughout. All-around pretty entertaining!

Another win this week but another messy game. I think the offense is starting to look good, but the defense is still super out of sync.

Regardless, grateful for another win!

Went to see Caamp with Abby and it was incredible.

One line from their really popular song By and By goes “This past year I got so much older” and that really hit me tonight. Just feel like life is flying by right now.

The venue (Meadow Brook Amphitheater) was really cool too. Just all around a great experience.

Also we bought a poster that was specific to the venue/night so we’re excited to get that framed as art for our future house.
