Logbook, February 10-16, 2020
My Stuff
Articles
- Dear Diary: the science-based benefits of journaling.
- I Love Star Trek: Picard’s Romulan Murder Mom and Dad.
- Toronto, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down.
Movies
- House of Games, 1987 - ★. It’s nice to know Criterion has an “it stinks!” section.
- Something Wild, 1986 - ★★★½. “Hi I’m Charlie. Never really had any concrete convictions one way or another.”
- Knives Out, 2019 - ★★★. Pretty good, but I wish they’d leaned even more into cozycore murder mystery style.
- The Big Knife, 1955 - ★½.
- Two Weeks in Another Town, 1962 - ★★★½. Oh I could spend some time here.
TV Shows
Finished Carole and Tuesday (decent, but it never really hit another gear). The combo of Picard, The Outsider, and Avenue 5 continues to make for a really good winter season.
Video Games
I bought Resident Evil HD Remaster on Steam for like $5. Good to just have a copy of that.
I made a new Mario Maker Level: DCB-X7F-4JF.
Youtube
- Phantom You [Tube]: Fighting Our Digital Doubles.
- Aliens, Monsters and Faceless Demons: The Dehumanisation of Non-Binary People in the Media.
- Why Doesn’t Bugs Bunny Wear Pants? Cartoon Dress Sense & Feminist Theory.

- Based on @imyke talking about iCloud apps working better on mobile, I made an Edge app. It works really well on Windows. Now if only my Reminders lists actually sync’d to iCloud…
