So, my wife and I watched "Sirens," and, uh...yeah. That was something.
I would've liked it 100% more had it ended like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" -- Devon smothers Simone with a brocade pillow and then hucks the horse sculpture through the sliding glass door to run to the ferry.

Why isn't "Skeleton Crew" working more for me? I'm the target demographic: huge Star Wars nerd who grew up in the Spielberg/Donner 80s. But it's all just...meh.
Self-edit: Wait, Kelly MacDonald's in this?!? Now withholding judgment.

For 52 years, I have been largely indifferent that soccer, as a sport, exists. (Except for UNC women's soccer, because they rule.) But my 15yo has suddenly and inexplicably become a huge Liverpool fan, and I now find myself wholly invested with him in the outcome of this match against Man Utd.

Very Alexandria snowstorm prep: yesterday was the obligatory run for groceries, so today is Bagel Uprising for bagels, Duncan for books, and pickup of a galette des rois from Gustav for Epiphany tomorrow.
Now, let it snow! ❄️

As an ACPS parent, I'm cautiously optimistic about the effort to get cell phones put away during the school day. I think enforcement is going to be a nightmare of inconsistency and whack-a-mole, but staying optimistic.

I'm the only short-haired person in the household, yet it's my job to unclog the bathtub drain when it gets clogged.
Feel like I just pulled Samara from "The Ring" out of our drain by her hair. Sorry, kid.

Y'all, this one is an absolute banger if you enjoy rye...which I do. #Bensonhurst
Also, I'm *way* too old to call anything a "banger."

Fellow Alexandria cocktail friends, this is your fair warning: we are in the midst of a Chartreuse bonanza. After months of empty shelves, a number of ALX ABC stores have a bounty of both yellow *and* green(!) bottles right now. Restaurants are swooping in, so get thee hence to a store!
