1. Two of my coworkers decided to debate the potential plot of the new Breaking Bad movie in front of my cubicle at work on Friday. ( Read more... )
2. Hmm..Amy Acker is cast as Ameila and Derek's sister...Katie on Grey's Anatomy -- so did she do this on hiatus from the Gifted? (Not that I've been watching the Gifted, I finally gave up on it. I was bored.
3. Just finished watching Bohemian Rhaspody which finally came on Optium On-Demand. And..I have been discussing the film off and on with movie buddy and frustrated music critic, cjlasky, who wrote a critique of the film when it first was released in his journal.
I agree with his review completely. Is it a good movie? Eh, not really. It's good when it focuses on the music business. It's horrible when it focuses on Mercury's personal life. Why? Because it's sort of obvious that the film makers have no clue what really was going on in Mercury's head or in his personal life -- they got all their information from his former band members (who co-produced it and were heavily involved, and Mercury died in the 1990s and was so intensely private, no one knows what he thought.)( Read more... )
4. Had a very interesting conversation with my favorite co-worker this week, Lando.
Lando is the frustrated prosecuting attorney, race-car driver, and R&B musician that I work with. He owns a electronic key-board, sound-system, recording studio, organ, piano, and for a bit played in a Sambo band. Right now he has started recording music again, creating, and publishing. And wants to get into publishing and licensing.
We had a long conversation this week about the music recording process and the publishing/licensing and editing of music. (I could listen to Lando for hours.)
Anyhow, he explained to me that the money in the music business is in "publishing rights" not performance. ( Read more... )
5. Television shows..
* Grey's Anatomy this week's episode reminded me once again why I despise the character of Maggie Pierce. Outside of Maggie, I liked the episode. Whenever the episode focuses too much on Maggie, I get annoyed. ( Spoilers on the episode and why I despise Maggie )
* A Million Little Things
Still only like Eddie, Gary, and Maggie. Everyone else still gets on my nerves. Ugh.
Also no progress made on the mystery with only two episode of the season left. Really?
The best scenes were anything with Gary, Maggie or Eddie. Also this is clearly a show written by men -- we're mainly in a male perspective and women are depicted oddly.
* This is Us -- a better episode than the last one. I really liked Rebecca in this episode, and found Kevin to be interesting. Randal continues to grate. ( Read more... )
6. Somewhat productive day. Feel better than yesterday. Had a nice long chat with Wales, which made me feel less lonely and more connected. (Wales is similar to some ways to Rebecca Bunch in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and in an odd way, watching Crazy Ex has made it possible to reconnect to Wales or figure out how to -- establish firm boundaries.) Also, renewed my Brooklyn Library Card -- so I can now check out books online and check out videos etc. I haven't used the library since 2003. Needless to say -- it's changed a bit since then.
