Last post by Alex - Today at 04:42:31 AMKristi's new chemo regimen seems to be gentler on her than the previous ones. Lets home it is more effective.
Is there a thing with elderly US women and asking endless questions? I seem to encounter this a lot. It got so bad with Dona that at one point, I kind of growled at her that I was a grown man, I knew what I was doing, so back off and let me do it without 50 questions. That was just booking a damn train ticket, never mind all the endless other things I was constantly asked about. It's the same with Kristi's mum or when Susie's mum came over to visit... basically any US woman over 60 I've encountered. They are worse than kids when it comes to just this constant stream of "Whys?".
Anyway, I've given Kristi a list of questions to give to her doctor. Dona constantly reminded me that Kristi is not expected to last 10-years. This is something I already knew, but it being mentioned up to three times a day, every day really did not leave me in a good place.
In four days we had: Ash having an allergic reaction and need to be rushed to the hospital with breathing problems; his adopted grandfather rushed to hospital with 3 bowel blockages; a young friend telling me that she has a swelling in her brain that in 10-years will cause blindness, and at some point kill her, another friend who has just got out of an abusive relationship had to go to court and her ex got visitation rights then that night her daughter got a cough that ended up getting so bad, she'd to be taken into hospital as well with breathing problems. I'm sure there was something else that happened that's slipped my mind.
Work has offered me compassionate leave. I'm waiting until I have the answers back from my questions and then figure out if I need it or not. There are some places Kristi has always wanted to go see, so I figure we might as well start planning trips there now.
Ash has taken a sudden interest in murder mystery shows. It started with us watching Only Murders in the Building and has just blown up from there. Clue, Murder by Death, Murder on the Orient Express...
Warlord Games just cheated and released a Gurkha army. Yeah like I am going to be able to not buy that.
Bastards.
Our new Staff Sgt is a Gurkha. Not sure when he arrives. My boss got an email with his itinerary. It seemed... complicated.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Dr. Whom - Today at 02:42:55 AMPorco Rosso
Perhaps not the best Ghibli, but still my absolute favourite. It has got wonderful seaplanes and flying boats, air action, beautiful scenery and a flying pig. What is not to like?
Pompoko
A group of tanuki (shape shifting raccoons) try to halt the urban development of their hill. The plot tends to wander off in various directions, but it remains enjoyable. It is also a lot more bleak than your average Western ecological fable, as the tanuki have to survive by becoming salarymen. The fact that the tanuki's magic resides in their testicles is deftly handled.

Last post by claws - Today at 01:16:39 AMIn Wayne's World 2 (1993), Wayne creeps out Garth by doing a silly, repetitive voice imitating Warwick Davis's titular character from the horror movie Leprechaun (1993), shouting, "I'm the leprechaun!" while Garth begs him to stop.

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 12:51:04 AMI assume you are consciously gesturing to OUT ON A LIMB, the two-part/four-hour miniseries from the 80s adapted from MacLaine's own memoir and starring MacLaine as herself. I endured the first evening for the aliens but there were no aliens in Part 1, only romantic melodrama. On night 2 I think I made it 25 minutes in and then nodded off and missed the aliens.

Good Movies / The End of Oak Street (2026)
Last post by WingedSerpent - August 14, 2026, 10:53:54 PMIn the Early 1980's a suburb finds itself transported back in time to the age of the dinosaurs.
This was a pretty enjoyable movie. In a lot of ways its what Jurassic World Dominion should have been. Dinosaurs and modern humans interacting and that being the central plot. It can be pretty mean spirited at points. There's some blood and gore I wasn't expecting.
Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor give good performances, but their both professionals. They star as a couple who are clearly going through a rough patch in their marriage. I thought the kid actors just did fine. Just fine.
Biggest flaw is the CGI. It doesn't always look so great. There are several dinosaur species on display as well as a few other prehistoric animals. The are done with modern deceptions of dinosaurs in mind. I feel the movie missed out on a joke seeing as how much our idea of these animals have changed since the 80s. You could have had someone joke about how dinosaurs didn't have feathers.
I'd say this is worth a watch. I had a good time.

Last post by indianasmith - August 14, 2026, 09:59:31 PMSALEM'S LOT (2024) - I caught this remake of the classic Stephen King vampire story on HBO Max tonight. It's been a long time since I read the book, but this was a pretty good movie - a little tamer than it could have been, but quite watchable. 4/5

Last post by indianasmith - August 14, 2026, 09:57:53 PMIt's about $3.59 here in Texas right now. Just before Trump started his useless war with Iran, it was down to about $2.19 - not as cheap as it was during COVID, but quite livable. It shot up to nearly $4 a gallon here right after the Iran war started, but it's settled down some since then.
