Literally only bought FORREST GUMP so I could get rid of the original DVD & save some space because that case is thicc (did the same with TARZAN & might do it with the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy, too).

That does say 110°, but it’s also in direct sunlight, and yes this was just now.

ROOFMAN had a surprisingly stacked cast, and Jafaar moved so much like his uncle, I though they used actual clips of him in MICHAEL. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Can't complain too much about our forecast down here, but I still dug my big 18" fan out of storage for the weekend. Going to punch the next person to tell me that climate change is a hoax.

So if I'm not mistaken, this is basically what happened during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today, right?

From an episode of "The Simpsons." Ralph Wiggum is standing in a kitchen and telling Chief and Mrs. Wiggum MRS. KRABAPPEL AND PRINCPAL SKINNER WERE IN THE CLOSET MAKING BABIES, AND I SAW ONE OF THE BABIES, AND THE BABY LOOKED AT ME.

Can I watch “Hamilton” anytime on Disney+? Yes, but now I don’t have to rely on them and that’s the point.

What is happening? Also, I didn't know that "The Happiest Millionaire" was almost 3 hours long.

A picture of Fred MacMurry taken from Disney+. Above him is the word "Disney" and bellow this is writing in a language that is not English.

“The Court-Martial of Jackie Robinson” was technically a rewatch, but I hadn’t seen it since it first aired on TBS back in 1990 and Andre Braugher was the only thing I remembered about it. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Not happy. And I’m close enough to the coast that not only does the house not have a/c, it’s not insulated so it just holds the heat.

Hayden Library felt 60 years old 30 years ago.

60 years at Hayden Library

From a late-night study spot to a center for community exploration, Hayden Library has been at the heart of student life for generations of Sun Devils.

Shelves lined with books, the hum of low conversation, the quiet thrill of finishing a paper. It's the atmosphere defining Hayden Library since the doors opened in 1966.
Each year, Hayden Library welcomes nearly 1.5 million visitors.
With seating for more than 2,100, the library features enhanced study areas, community-driven book collections, a variety of research services and interdisciplinary learning labs, an entire floor devoted to innovation and two reading rooms designed to draw attention and provide greater access to the ASU Library's Special Collections.
Hidden gems among them include an original illustrated version of "Alice in Wonderland" by Salvador Dali, historic photographs and maps of the Grand Canyon, and the collected papers of Native American writer and poet Simon Ortiz.

Hey fellow Sun Devils who still visit ESPN dot com--I'll save you the click. He's not even mentioned in the piece, not even just to say that he signed a 5-year extension back in December.

Welp, the Hydration Break has found its way to college soccer (the Cal Poly/ASU game, anyway). #GoDevils This is the first college soccer match I've watched (on ESPN+ for anyone curious), and the clock is counting down instead of up. And the home team is listed 2nd in the score bug.

Recent pick-ups. I know most of the movies I’ve been picking up are available on Disney+, but those tend to be plentiful and fairly cheap. The point is to be less reliant on the streaming services after all. I had “E.T.” at one point, but no idea what what happened to it.

5 blu-rays on an orange, black, & white afghan. The films are: E.T, Little Shop of Horrors, Incredibles 2, Monsters University, and Captain Marvel

Watching "The Little Mermaid" tonight, and when Ariel gets her voice back, Eric says "Ariel? You can talk?" Of course my brain immediately responds with:

Would anyone be interested in this 1992 Action Packed Larry Doby that came out of an issue of Tuff Stuff? (I tossed that issue when I was cleaning things out a couple of months ago.)

Left a comment on a TikTok last night, then realized it was a Barstool affiliated account, so naturally I deleted the comment and blocked the account. As one should do. And there's no such thing as a "Rhode Island hot dog." It's a hot wiener, a New York System Hot Wiener if you want to be specific.

a restaurant try with a small basket of french fries, and 5 white paper plates with Hot Wieners on them. 4 plates have 2 wieners topped with a meat sauce, mustard, and onions. The 5th plate only has one. A hot wiener is similar to a hot dog, but uses a smaller, thinner sausage.

I was always partial to these (from February 2017) but I think this are more steps than stairs.

A small set of steps that lead to vegetation. The steps are in Disneyland's Fantasyland and used to be the exit to the SkyWay chalet.

Saw this car earlier in Mission Valley, and it made me want to find a dame & run from the coppers.
