The Shoutbox
I stopped at a sandwich shop I've never been too while up here finishing out mom's house. Generic college town dive bar sandwich shop. Potholes and hidden from the road. Took three rounds just to find the driveway. I walk in and there's some guy at the bar and four staff huddled. Everyone just stops talking. I laugh, awkwardly, and ask if they're open. "Of course;" one girl said stepping from the group. I said I wasn't sure in that everyone just stopped when I walked in. Was weird. I find a table and the guy at the bar starts up again. He appears tall, slender, somewhat athletic and speaks with a loud, forced lower range voice. Hearing him speak to the college kids he seems the type needing attention, talking at a volume well above inside conversational volumes. He seems to be a regular. Probably early 30s, trying to impress the college staff. Grating. Keeps saying "bro" talking working out. Coughing from time to time. I imagine it's from the strain of his voice forced lower than his probable natural range. I'm maybe 15 feet behind him and I can't help but want to start repeating his obnoxiousness to get his attention. Or just peg him with a glass salt shaker. I have a decent arm.

I guess my patience has thinned these few weeks.
So family just bought that super-fancy giant TV that you can extend, tilt and turn and hell, is it giving me ‘The Ring’ vibes. Solid thing, although I think it encourages the unhealthy habit of eating while you watch.
Provisions for that and the Poppa Squat are being considered.
Will the Diddley Squat still be legal though?
North Carolina law makers are pushing through legislation to outlaw the Carolina Squat.

We really do things right around here.

I love the day off when I don’t have be in a hurry to do anything.
It’s been quite comical with me and Krasinki. I thought ‘Hush’ was very meh, same with ‘Don’t Breathe’ etc. So when ‘A Quiet Place’ popped up I was very lukewarm. But the plotting in both is really great, you could almost forget/set aside the whole ‘silence’ thing and just see it as a monster film. The plotting in the second one is really top notch, perfectly executed classic storytelling style - the peril element comes not from any kind of monster but from people’s choices and the fact they do stupid things because they couldn’t have done anything else. That level of plotting is so rare these days!

Nice to hear, I quite enjoyed the first one.
One of my favourite Beatles songs that - The Long Unwinding Road.
