Another Pedro Pascal - "Daddy" daughter movie, set on an alien world about a father-daughter pair that are off prospecting for ...
Well, fucked if I figured it out.
I proactively saw this before the daughter discovered it and recommended it. Fucking lousy. This would incite no daughter to join the family business.
So far not doing so well with the downloaded movies...

Some random internet recommendation that proved to be a disappointment, 8 episode miniseries concerning a lesser-known "Superhero" played by John Cena - Peacemaker. Now, never one for a superhero movie I found all my prejudices confirmed. While John Cena can act and does great things with his role, something about the puerile jokes & humour/interpersonal relations/rivalries & competitions, well, it's more as if were written for 13 years old with enough violence to make it restricted. Occasionally humorous, but - not really, I could have skipped this.

And finally, 3 weeks later there are 2 "sprouts" on my window ledge. The Carolina Reapers, of 10 seeds bought and paid for, 8 arrived, and just this week, a couple of days ago, 2 of them sprouted. First one, one day, then the next another. The other pots show no signs of life.

Work, sleep, boring, boring. I've promised myself a Jeep come month end, a necessity of summer, for my mental health, but given the erratic pay-periods of this job (1 week already past last pay date, and 3 weeks tips due back) I'm not sure how to commit. I will figure it out - but there are questions...

And the fudge, from the neighbour I'd fed steak, that mystery at least solved, and she seemed pleased to have given me it; or at least been acknowledged for it...

Cleaning, the inspection this month. The bedroom, more or less, cleaned. I could go deeper, into the closet, there are a number of things I need to be rid of, old computer, monitor, an abundance of clothes I never wear that should now be moved on. And my necktie collection, some 500+ ties, where to get rid of these? The kitchen/main living area, I took an hour and cleaned off the bar-island, moved candlesticks, rocks, to other settings, unboxed some puppets (NJ) and untangled them somewhat and hung them, one on the easel, the other off a candlestick on a shelf. These things inspire me.
The living room, the last big mess, piles of canvases, art supplies, mixed media, that need some order, arrangement, and where to begin? Where to begin? It doesn't matter, I've come far enough there isn't much left...

And that is where I am at the moment. Watching a new miniseries - "The Peacekeeper", some comic-book inspired drivel, superhero stuff, with John Cena as the "Peacekeeper", good, for what it is, but I have no clue, I've never referenced the source material, not a Superhero fan, but this is I suspect better drivel than most.
A bowl of Carmel Fudge Outside My Door...

Which I found after work and took it in and scarfed all down. Delicious, I sent a text to the upstairs neighbour thanking her, whom I figured it was responsible, made up a bowl of coconut-curry soup to share, gave it to her in the same bowl, she returned it the next day, apparently it wasn't her bowl, and - It could be the other neighbour I fed last week, but - well, even when I run into her we seldom chat, same planet, different worlds, and so I'm a little stumped as to where to return this bowl...
