It's becoming a trend: Another Diabolical Lies podcast episode that really spoke to me. This one focused on building a business, selling it, getting burnt out, and buying it back. Combined with the commentary about being subjected to constant "worldwide feedback" and this one had me nodding along throughout.

Three albums tied in that last place. Of course it picked the worst one of the bunch to showcase.

The updates to the Trakt iOS app have been absolutely horrendous lately. Like “ruining the app” level bad. The star rating change, not being able to filter an actor’s films by watch history, and the overall look are so bad.

A thing I remember from my childhood, or more so the high school years, are the James Bond movie marathons around Thanksgiving. I’d spend countless hours on the basement couch watching whatever movie happened to be playing.

Happy Halloween.

Another month has come to an end, and my favorite time of year has kicked off in full force. Fall, the changing of the leaves, and a creep toward the new year.

Sigrid's debut album was my favorite album of 2019. I liked the follow-up but it never crossed over to the love stage. (The deluxe got closer; I really like the softer renditions of some of those songs.)

The album she released on Friday? Immediate love.

Fun week of music. Sigrid, Taylor Acorn, People R Ugly … all top notch stuff.
