The longest thread ever

Monthly reporting and analysis starts tomorrow. Unfortunately, that work doesn't wind down until the middle of the month.

I did watch The Big Sick. I thought it was a very good film, but not sure what category to classify it in. I don’t think Rom Com is correct.

It was good and described as a rom-com. Not so sure it was a comedy...

Sigh, lost track.

I'm looking forward to the boredom phase. I keep thinking "soon" then I have more work.

Mine is routine and follows a monthly pattern. And then there are ad hoc requests. And then my other duties.

[YmoBeThere]

I may look back on this post in a month and think, "Be careful what you wish for."

I've finally been given permission to hire some help. First postings go up next week.

Really pleased with my first try at Italian bread.

This posting clearly needs pictures and samples.

I have starter in the fridge. Need to pull it out and make another loaf.

When do they expect yeast to be back in stock?

Does that utilize yeast?

Salt
Olive oil
Time
Heat

Made two loaves. One was just shaped into a loaf after the first rise; one was rolled a bit flat with a pin and then rolled lengthwise like a jelly roll. Have not cut the former: the latter came out very well.

Sigh, lost track.

Two movies from 2019 that disappointed me not because they were bad movies but because they were marketed completely incorrectly, Yesterday and Last Christmas.

Yesterday was a RomCom marketed as a think piece and Last Christmas was a think piece marketed as a RomCom. Yesterday really, really, really dropped the ball on an excellent premise, but, what Last Christmas did was pretty close to unconscionable. I went by myself on a day where I was feeling depressed looking for a "watch some beautiful people fall in love" pick-me up. Yeah, no, so not the right movie for that.

[YmoBeThere]

Yes, I’m wary of movie marketing.

[YmoBeThere]

Any comedy suggestions?

[Bostondevil]

Schitt's Creek.

[Bostondevil]

I'm going to give Space Force a try now that it's out on Netflix.

[YmoBeThere]

Schitt's Creek.

The problem I'm running into is pace. She gets bored and loses interest if things don't happen quickly. Which makes it difficult if I haven't already seen the film.

I've seen a couple episodes of Schitt's Creek. It would be too slow. I guess there was the initial action of everything being confiscated by the Feds in the very first scene but the pace quickly dropped from there.

[YmoBeThere]

Maybe a slightly older Sandler film?

As a point of fact: I know Jack Schitt.

T-Bone and the Drewsk on summer hiatus?

You can’t say that on television.

T-Bone and the Drewsk on summer hiatus?

No, but they haven't been getting up to much in the way of adventures for the past few days.
