@ThanosReXXX - Thanks for re posting those links!

@WiltonRoots - Boom, the Merc with a mouth. Nice interview. I love the nebulous inspiration of late 70s NYC. It’s a varied, yet very specific time in style and art that I also enjoy. I can definitely see the neon punk inspiration in your color palettes, sometimes even some glam punk with silvers and golds. Say no more than The Warriors.

@bimmy-lee No problem. Figured I'd save you the trouble of having to browse back 4 pages...

Anyone ever messed around with crystallized tea? I’ve been enjoying some in the afternoons and it’s really nice. It can be made hot or cold. I’ve been doing an English breakfast instead of an afternoon coffee, and I like it. I may try it in the mornings as a substitute for my second cup of coffee and switch to a single, pour over system for the one coffee I do drink. I’ve been extra jittery from coffee lately.

@ThanosReXXX - Yeah, I ended up finding it through your profile before you re posted. I assumed it was 90 pages back. I was surprised it was on Monday, time flies, especially when the anchor drags during quarantine and you lose your bearings.

@bimmy-lee The thing is I could post links to other sites where I post stuff or where stuff I do gets posted, but because there's so many oddballs on this site I'd rather not...I think you understand. Talking of Mercs with mouths I did a Deadpool character in 2010 which took me about 7hrs to do.

@bimmy-lee the 70s is also a period when some of the best cinema was ever made, between all of us we could reel off some iconic films that got ruined by remakes or should have never been remade. It could be an amazing path to take this conversation down.

@WiltonRoots - I hear you, I almost didn’t say anything, but the random voodoo of you checking in on the thread and then graffiti entering the conversation stream innocently and independent of your posts was too alluring for me to ignore. I might’ve seen your Deadpool. He’s always been a favorite of mine. I like the movies to the point that I’ve been forced to do a stunning 180 on my opinion of Ryan Reynolds.

Concerning 70s cinema, I immediately thought of Charles Bronson movies when I read your interview. That crazy, eclectic NYC backdrop during that time made for one of the best characters in cinema during the late 70s. I like San Fran, London, and Paris during that time too. I also love 80s Miami and LA in film.

@WoomyNNYes - I can see a little Chevy in him. I always thought he was doing a little bit of 90s Jim Carey as well. Prior to the Deadpool movies, I liked Waiting and Adventureland, but can’t say I enjoyed him in much else that comes to mind. He does seem like a good guy from what little I know, and I think he slays it as Deadpool no doubt.

Been itching bad to watch the last dance. Tried seeing if anyone put it on YouTube, nope. Realized I could bundle espn+with my Hulu and Disney + account, but can I watch It? Nope. Guess i gotta wait til july to watch on Netflix

@NintendoByNature - I think you have to pay extra for the Disney+ bundle with ESPN, but I’m not positive as we haven’t signed up (yet). You can watch the Last Dance for free though. I just finished it Tuesday evening. All the episodes are available on the free ESPN app. Just download it and search by the doc title. There are two options, but it’s merely a difference in TV rating. You’ll want the TV-MA option to get the full experience. I enjoyed it immensely.

@bimmy-lee we were paying like 13 or 14 for Disney and Hulu. Adding espn +actually saved us 2 bucks believe it or not. But I dont have a tv provider, so I cant watch it on the app right?

NintendoByNature

bimmy-lee

@NintendoByNature - No, you don’t need a provider. It’s just there on the ESPN app for free! It’s amazing. I discovered it after the first two episodes released, and I’ve followed along all five weeks. The only caveat was that they waited to post them until the day after they aired live.

@bimmy-lee wierd..im on the app on my roku stick, and i see the tv-14 and tv-ma, but both ask me to sign in via espn.com/activate with a tv provider

bimmy-lee

@NintendoByNature - You may have to watch it on a pad or phone. The app isn’t the one you’d use to watch live ESPN, it’s the app for the website. At the bottom of the screen, there’s a “watch” tab and the doc is there. They don’t make it easy, but I was determined to win at all cost and crush my opponents.

@NintendoByNature - Enjoy, I loved every second of it. I’ll probably watch it on the TV this summer when it’s on NA Netflix. My wife has heard me talk enough about it that she’s interested.

Whew. Busy yet productive work day. Then I did a grocery run (with some Pokemon Go sprinkled in) as well as some evening chores. Doing my usual internet rounds, then I'll be grinding my units in Birthright.

Good news is I have two three day weekends ahead of me. I had to take Monday off (originally wasn't going to) since it's a holiday and due to the ongoing lockdown situation here. Then I took next Friday off in anticipation of XC:DE. Next week will be a bit nuts with my new fridge coming in, so it's definitely earned IMO.

@ThanosReXXX My phone came with Chrome. I don't LOVE the browser by any means. In fact, on PC anyway, it can be quite a resource hog. I've thought of switching to Firefox on my phone more than once. The only reason I haven't is due to laziness. XD

@bimmy-lee Oh heck, I even noticed a slight improvement as soon as I was able to leave the surgery center...before the numbing drops wore off anyway. XD The eyes thankfully heal quickly, but I was in for a world of stinging the rest of the day. I bought the medications in advance, and I had my mom chauffeur me to/from my appointment. Lasik recovery is pretty quick, but it did take me a bit longer than some for the healing fuzz to wear off; my eyes were borderline severely nearsighted.

They did overcorrect my left eye a bit, so it took some time to adjust to my vision being a bit wonky. Still, it's a heck of a change when one had needed glasses or contacts since age 10.

@bimmy-lee something's up. Only giving me a preview no matter which option I choose. It's still asking for a tv provider even on a tablet. Might have to wait til July

@Tyranexx I used the Firefox on Android & PC. I recommend it.

Also, @Eel, in line with that new thread, how do I stop reading ThanosRexxx's comments?🤔😋

(If thanos see's this, I'm assuming he know's I'm just playing around.)
