Soul Criticized For Having White Actors Dub Black Characters
😕
About time. This MacBook Pro I have needs a bag full of cables and dongles every time I leave the house.
I have hundreds of millions of people ahead of me in line and this cute rat gets a shot?!

The Muppet Christmas Carol, 1992 - ★★★★
My 10 year old approves. I can’t believe she’d only seen Muppet Babies before. I’m fixing that this week.
Saw this quote from James Clear today:
The best exercise for gaining strength is not missing workouts.
I tend to be a guy that overthinks things and need to remember there are times to just DO and not spend so long trying to figure it all out.
The Christmas movie scale ranks this higher than the normal movie scale. Sure it’s a two star in April, but a solid four in December. Average that out and you have a three star film on an annualized basis.
The Man Who Knew Too Much, 1956 - ★★★
Worth the watch, not my favorite Hitchcock.
The Queen’s Gambit, 2020 - ★★★★

Eight weeks ago I got off my behind and started running again. Bought a Garmin Forerunner 245 and started a training plan with a goal of running a 28 minute 5k. Five weeks to go, but I’m optimistic after today’s mile time test.

Oklahoma State Fair canceled amid coronavirus pandemic - KOCO
I’m one of the few people in my friend circle who enjoys the Great State Fair of Oklahoma. Give me a foot long corn dog, giant fresh squeezed lemonaid, pizza on a stick, fried cheesecake & Oreos, put my kids on a few rides, and I’m in my happy place.
