1. You're not going to believe what I'm about to tell you

I will state that meditation helps a great deal in regards to letting go of emotional attachments to perception.

Also, probably not a good idea to worship people or historical figures -- or believe whatever historians tell you about someone who lived 100 or more years before said historian existed.

2. Making soup - with chicken bone broth, turnips, carrots, celery, zuccini noodles, parsnips, onion, ginger, garlic, dill, parsley, lemon juice, touch of olive oil, and vegetable broth. No meat.

It's that sort of day. Rainy, drab, cold -- and the cough from hell hasn't left the building yet. But it is better. I actually slept last night without coughing through the night. Also accidentally set alarm for 5:45 am, because cough from hell has made me confused as to what day it is.

This is what happens when you get irritable and the Universe and ask it to do stuff, it gives you a nasty cough and time to realize how good you got it.

1. Some news regarding how Marvel plans on handling the canceled Netflix Marvel series : Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Which are being taken over by the guys who ran the MCU movies (Kevin Feige) and no longer handled by Jeff Loeb and company. This is actually good news.

Marvel may recast Hawkeye due to Allegations against Jeremy Renner

I'm not sure how true this claim is. Since it hasn't exactly been confirmed. The internet at times reminds me of that game "gossip" or one huge "gossip" column.

Rebooting the Inhumans via the Ms. Marvel Television Show - so she's staying an Inhuman after all. Marvel (run by Loeb and Company) really screwed up the Inhumans
and the X-men. So now, Marvel Studios - Feige is fixing it. Feige is liberal and Loeb and Company weren't. Disney wants the liberal social justice image right now.
Anything that disagrees with that is getting kicked to the curb. Fast.

2. Sandman Series is happening and will stay true to the comics or so says, Gaiman

A faithful — but updated — adaptation

Gaiman says that he understands fans are anxious to see how The Sandman translates to the screen and that the TV series' team — which includes writer and showrunner Allan Heinburg, with David Goyer and Gaiman as writers and executive producers — are respecting its origins.

"The idea is to stay faithful to Sandman, but to do it for now rather than making it a 1980s period piece," he said.

When asked what that might look like, Gaiman says that Dream and his siblings will live in a version of the Endless set closer to 2019.

"In Sandman [issue] number one, there is a sleeping sickness that occurs because Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, is captured ... in 1916, and in 1988 he escapes," Gaiman said.

"Instead of him being a captive for about 80 years, he's going to be a captive for about 110 years and that will change things."Gaiman adds that the team hasn't ruled out including more familiar characters from the DC Universe, but offered no specifics.

When it comes to Dream, however, Gaiman offered some insight.

Asked whether the main character's look would change and evolve in the TV series as it did in the comics, Gaiman responded simply.

"It will."

A lot of Bond Movies, and The Witcher, Marriage Story, and Nighfliers, also the 3rd Season of Outlander. (hey you can watch S1-3 of Outlander on Netflix if you don't get Starz.)

I have no idea when Witcher is airing, I didn't see the air date listed. There's also a lot of series I've never heard of and didn't know existed listed.
