Mon
-- 12:10a  Bed;  Thunderstorm started around 3a
--   7:15a  Up;  Not currently raining but streets are wet and rain expected to resume shortly
--   7:45a  Breakfast @home: leftover sausage/egg McMuffin;  "Simpsons, The"
--   9:18a  "Kelly & Ryan"

--   9:55a  Heard weather siren.  I was surprised because it wasn't quite 10a.  And then
I noted that it's not the beginning of the month yet.  And then I noted that it wasn't
Tuesday.  So, I started flipping through the TV dial and there was nothing until I got 
to CH7 and they were reporting a tornado warning with a possible tornado in the
Naperville area.  So, I got dressed, put my laptop in carrier and placed it inside
bathroom vanity but then I went outside to look.  There wasn't really anything to see.
-- 10:15a  The storm seemed to be heading NE (so, away from me) and they canceled the
warning, although there was a tornado in rural Champaign.

-- 10:29a  They played a couple commercials and then then interrupted again to announce
warning in Jasper Co (25 mi east of Kankakee)

There was a brief tornado touchdown 7.5 mi WSW of me this morning.

~~  Earlier, my smartwatch said it was down to 12% battery and the watch face was different.
I thought that after I charged it back up it would return to normal, but it didn't change
and it seems like the apps I had on the watch are also missing.  I have no idea if I accidentally
did something.  I know what my parka sleeves are able to select things.
--   6:20p  Reinstalled Watch Active app on phone and that fixed it.
--   6:45p  "ET"
--   7:07p  "Bachelor, The"
They kept showing a tower in Tallin, Estonia, but when googled it, lots of other towers
showed up.  But I finally found it, apparently the town hall.  But some things looked
different, and they I noticed that Google hasn't been there since 2011.

-- 10:56a  Inside after biking 3 mi
-- 12:06p  Finished cleaning off space to work on taxes
--   2:40p  Attempted to scan tax documents 6 times but it kept quitting and
claiming that either the scanner was turned off (it has no on/off switch) or
there was a problem with the USB cable, but if there was a problem with the cable,
why was it able to scan several documents before giving up.  At least each attempt
saved the pages that it was able to scan.

--   3:00p  Leaving to bike, then pickup dinner @Arby's: 2 fish sandwiches (on sale)
--   4:33p  Inside after biking 3+3  (Total 14 mi today);  Also talked to neighbors

--   4:43p  Movie: "M3gan" (2022) (on Peacock on Tablet)
I tried to start watching it earlier.  It said to watch a few ads first and then it will
be ad free.  So, it played a couple ads and then it quit, so I left for dinner.
This time, it repeated the same offer, but then the movie did start.
~~  A robotics engineer at a toy company builds a life-like doll that begins to take on a life of its own.
~~  The consensus is that its unapologetically silly and all the more entertaining for it, M3GAN is the rare 
horror-comedy that delivers chuckles as effortlessly as chills. 
~~  Of course, there are flaws that bother me a bit.  For instance, how much does M3GAN weigh?  This gets into
the physics about whether or not she could hold an adult down.  Even if her capacity to learn is nearly unlimited,
there would have to be physical limits to what she could do -- unless she was able to modify such things.
Given enough time, she COULD probably do that -- but that was NOT portrayed in the movie.

>>> 11:44a  "Company You Keep, The" (Metacritic: 71, 50-83, #8)
Based on the Korean series "My Fellow Citizens" about a CIA officer and a con man.
~~ One review talked about its "dynamic cast" and "fun plot".  Another metnioned the
"stellar chemistry".  But a less favorable review said it "come off as a one-dimensional 
photocopy of better films and TV shows."  Another said the main characters are
"too bland and underdeveloped to really carry a show."  
~~ The ads I've seen tend to make me feel that the harsher reviews are more accurate.
~~ It seemed boring to me.  I'll let TiVo record it but I don't know if I'll get back to it.

I bought it in July 2016.

-- 10:45a  I brought the living room TV upstairs and realized that the old TV has
a center-mounted base.  The newer TV has legs at the far ends, which means the table is

yesterday, when she was (expectedly) on "A Million Little Things".  What was
unexpected is that that episode was her last -- her character was moving away.
But then she appeared again in THIS episode.

-- 10:03p  Skim Ch5 news;  A Jennifer sent in a photo of a coyote.
-- 10:41p  "Young Sheldon"
There is a character named Audrey on this show, and that was the name of Erin Karpluk's character earlier.

This episode doesn't seem to be on my TiVo.  There is no evidence that TiVo was aware of the
episode being broadcast.  In other words, it didn't think it was on but a rerun.  It shows that
it's planning to record next week's episode.  So, I'm watching it on tablet.

Wed
-- 12:45a  Bed
--   7:53a  Up
--   8:35a  Leaving to bike, then pickup breakfast;  First went to Jewel.
When I got to McD, the app was requiring me to login   Then it said they's send me an e-mail
so I had to wait for that, and when I clicked the login button in the e-mail, the phone
said I had an insecure connection, so I exited and just went home.

--   9:5a  Inside after biking 2 + 2;  Breakfast @home: defrosted sausage/egg McMuffin
I had frozen it last week -- first time ever.  Defrosting it was a problem because the
muffin got very hot but the egg was still cold.  In general, I hate freezing food.
While I was eating the nearly tasteless result, I was deleting the McD app off my phone.

Follows the remaining crew of a spacecraft, Ark One, who must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and survive after experiencing a catastrophic event that caused massive destruction and loss of life.
~~ So, this is the 2nd show I watched this week that starts off with such an event, but the other one was a sit-com.
~~ Although there are some positive reviews, overall they make it seem like it's probably a waste of time.
~~ I'll probably watch it.

The Free HBO icon came up again, although it implied only the first episode (of each series) is free.
It was supposed to be an 8-week cruise to Saturn.
~~  Before I started watching, it seemed like every episode was available but now they're not.

-- 12:12p  Skim Ch2 news
-- 12:36p  "La Brea"
In the first episode, 17 mo ago, characters fell into a sinkhole that brought them to 10,0000 BCE.
Some of them were able to return to 1988.  They could have chosen to stay there, but with the hope
to get back to 2021, they decided to go through another sinkhole and back to prehistoric times.
The difference is that they knew where they were heading -- but they took NO SUPPLIES.

A young woman who is thrust into a world of old money and deadly secrets occurring in a Manhattan apartment building when she takes a live-in nanny job taking care of the young son of a rich widower.
~~  It seems odd that she was hired without even meeting the 7-yr-old child.
~~  I'll probably keep watching but I don't know if there will be a payoff.

Strange.  I took a look at the location of the house.  The pub and some other buildings
were built for the movie and then destroyed.  The largest town, Westport, is an hour away
and I took a brief look at the downtown area.  Not downtown, I saw a statue of
Grace O'Malley, the 16th-century Irish Pirate Queen.

--   9:15a  Up
--   9:44a  "Mare of Eastown" (s1x7);  Breakfast @home: PB&T
In Sept 2021 I binged the first 6 eps of this series but I was too sleepy to watch
the 7th before the free week ran out.  The problem is that it's a murder mystery and
I don't remember who was murdered or any other details.
~~  The plot is somewhat "incestuous" because the killer turns out to be the 
husband of the detective's best friend.
~~  As noted on Thurs, I couldn't watch "Hacks", but the star of that show,
Jean Smart, plays Mare's mom on this show.  It turns out that the murder weapon
was stolen from a guy who had had an affair with Mare's mom.  More incestuousness.
And it was stolen by the son of the murderer.

--   2:04p  "Euphoria" (02/06/22)
--   3:50p  Leaving to bike, then pickup dinner @Pete's

I was going to go to So Gong Dong Korean.  The last time I was by there, it was
closed for renovations, but it seems that it's now out of business.  So, I was going to
get a Korean dish at Noodles Pho U, and logged into their website as a guest but they
suggested creating an account, so I did, but they said there was already an account with
my e-mail.  I checked my file and couldn't find an account, so, I said I forgot my password.
They sent me an e-mail to open a page where I could enter a new password but it said
that I had already used that password.  So, I decided to give up.

--   4:50p  Inside after biking 2+2;  Dinner @home: Whitefish plus shrimp

After the show, producers talked about how they didn't want season 2 to seem like they
were just redoing more of season 1, and they described season 1 as being in the moment,
where seaons 2 would be more of a memory (of high school), althought it doesn't seem
to be explicit.  They asked Kodak to produce Ektachrome stock for them.  It's a
slide film -- not a negative film.  But I wouldn't say I noticed a difference.
Ektachrome had been discontinued due to lack of demand.

After a global pandemic destroys civilization, a hardened survivor takes charge of a 14-year-old girl who may be humanity's last hope
Based on the PlayStation videogame.
I believe the first season will be 10 episodes but I'll only be able to see 4.
~~  I knew it was about a pandemic, but it seems that it's basically a zombie show,
and I've been avoiding zombie shows after watching the first season of "The Walking Dead".
