At The Movies: Prestige
I've been happy to see the return of Severance and White Lotus (I'm less crazy about the latter, but it's still compelling enough). Any shows back soon or recently you're wanting to see?
Oscar season was a bit delayed (twice) and is now set a couple weeks from now. Anything jump out at you this year? I think I've seen exactly one movie with any nominations this year (and just a supporting one at that), so I might not have much to add in that regard.
What's been on your screens, big or small?
February 17, 2025: Prez
As I saw noted recently, call it "Presidents Day", or "Presidents' Day" if you must, but certainly not "President's Day".

I think with the recent snows, Illinois finally has received more snow than Florida.

February 15, 2025: Shocker
We were having issues with our ancient power box. Thankfully the electrician was able to get it going with a few simple switches. Having half of the outlets (and dishwasher) in your house out definitely helps you to appreciate it once they're back.
