I know the odds have shifted a bit already (and I don’t actually gamble nor do I know anything about football), but I’ve got Philly (-1) and the Over (49.5).

I’ve written about him in my newsletter (multiple times), but Murray Bartlett is just an incredible actor.

Made a miasma as my last cocktail before dry February begins for tonight’s episode of The Last of Us. Planning to pick up a few different amaros so come March I can see if anything works better than Campari in it.

Any decent printer recommendations out there? Was looking at laser, but color lasers seem a bit too pricey for my need. Mostly for scrap, but I’d like to be able to print some shots from my Fuji occasionally too. Scanner too maybe?

Thinking about moving the newsletter back to Buttondown or something other than Substack. Again…

Today’s failed cocktail experiment: ½oz Campari, ½oz St Germain, ½oz key lime juice, small bottle of dry champagne. Wanted to try to create a brunch-like cocktail, but this is not it.

Typically find Apple Music recommendations to be less than stellar, but these 9 albums/EPs from bands I had never heard of previously all came up at once and have restored my faith in the algorithm.

Finally getting back to Andor now that I finally have a night to myself.

Lastly, given my preference towards micro.blog, I’ll probably forgo an Ivory subscription and go for Mammoth or Mona when those are out of beta.

I think I’m going to try to keep a split of following micro.blog people on my micro.blog account and mastodon people on my mastodon. Right now it’s the Wild West and I’m seeing duplicates from people in both places.

I’ve changed some background config that won’t be noticeable, but now all posts will originate from blot/micro.blog (@humdrum/@humdrum@humdrum.tiv.today) and then cross post to my real mastodon account @humdrum@social.lol. They should be in sync and be an easy one or the other.

Watched the first episodes of both Poker Face (Peacock) and Shrinking (Apple) and loved them both.

💬 Charlie, played by Natasha Lyonne in Poker Face:

I’ve been rich—it’s easier than being broke, harder than doin’ just fine.

Apple just suggested a bunch of Indie Rock albums from 2022 from bands I’ve never even heard of, all of which sound promising so far (and I’ll probably throw on AlbumWhale), but the one that popped out was an EP featuring Idris Elba singing on the whole thing.
