I feel so privileged to live in a place where world-class athletes come to train and practice their craft for sports that I enjoy. The mountains and all they offer are so accessible here. 🏔️

Just watched: Office Space (1999) directed by Mike Judge 🎥 ★★★★
Yeah, so, this was the perfect combination of dumb, funny, and entertaining. Great movie for when you just want to turn off your mind for a bit. And so quotable.

My #5x5Friday of top albums from the last 12 months. Great stuff! 🎵
Finished watching: Acapulco (2021, season 1) directed by Richard Shepard ★★★★ 📺
A fun ride so far. Excited for seasons 2 and 3.
Just watched: Pretty Strong (2020) by Never Not Collective ★★★★ 🎥
Incredible climbing. Tangible stoke. All-female climbers and filmmakers. 👍👍 (Trailer)
I don’t hate it…
TIL how a sewing machine works, and how to install my own replacement car headlight! Accomplished, I feel.
Oof.
Just watched: Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) directed by the Daniels 🎥 ★★★★
In a word, wild. In two words, absurdly entertaining. In three words, just gotta watch.
Did I get everything done from my to-do list today? No. But I got an impressive amount checked off! Normally I’d stay up and knock out a few more since I’m not dog-tired yet, but tonight I shall be responsible and head to bed. 🛌
Finished watching: The Menu (2022) directed by Mark Mylod 🎥 ★★☆☆
Quite strange. Perhaps engrossing? Sillier as it went on.
Sometimes at night, when the ice absolutely glows 📷
More ice 📷
Been climbing some ice 📷
New do, who dis? 📷
I’ve always been fascinated by glasses and always ask to try on my friends’ pairs. (I’ll probably need them sooner rather than later.) I liked these! 📷
Didn’t Gluon (and Micro.blog) app used to autofill usernames? Or am I imagining that? Paging @vincent
After @lexfri@hachyderm.io mentioned it in his daily podcast, I’m giving BeReal a try. I like things with small asks, and one picture per day seems small enough. My username there is pretty guessable if you’re interested…
This was news to me, and welcome news at that. My wife and I listen to rain sounds through the HomePod every night. Now I can add that step to a ‘goodnight’ scene that also takes care of turning off lights and setting the sleeping thermostat temp.
Skiing today was fantastic! ⛷️🎥
And I just love finding these impossibly balanced rocks out in nature. They’re so neat! 📷
🛎️🛎️🛎️ Another accurate premonition by @siracusa@mastodon.social a decade ahead. The M1 iMac is, indeed, striking. overcast.fm/+3EXotlYE…
It was extra interesting because later in the episode, John gets to bask in being right about predicting the Fusion Drive.
Finished reading: Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose 📚 ★★★★
I saw this movie years ago, but never read the screenplay until now. It’s a fascinating look into how a jury’s deliberation should work. I so appreciated Juror 8’s calm determination to examine the facts as they had been presented, and consider the question “Do I have reasonable doubt?” It’s hard to imagine I could stay that collected in such a situation, though I like to think I would.
The movie is going back on my to-watch list.
