the_rckI had a long talk with my sister Monday night. It had been a couple of years since we last talked because I haven't been up to making phone calls and because, while she's happy to talk to me, I'm not high on the list of people she thinks to call. As I mentioned yesterday, we've never lived in proximity and just don't know each other well.
I'm trying to get through a long Overdrive audiobook. It's fighting me a bit because there's a lot of vicarious embarrassment involved. The prose is excellent, however, and the reader is good enough that I'm going to try some books outside my normal genres in order to listen to his performances.
I'm trying to pull together a list of things that I want to watch or rewatch. I have time for it but can never think of anything of interest when I consider watching things. I don't want to just browse because I end up frustrated. Even with glasses on, I find I have difficulty reading titles on the thumbnails. We have Hulu, Netflix, and Disney+.
Hulu's giving me trouble. Every time I open it, it's got audio playing that I can't turn off and that runs on top of whatever I try to watch. I'm nearly certain that it's sound from Brooklyn 99 which Scott and Cordelia have been watching off and on but haven't been watching right when I'm trying to access Hulu.
I ordered delivery from Evergreen yesterday. I deliberately timed it for mid-afternoon in hope that they wouldn't be overwhelmed by orders. I got everything I asked for, including no bamboo shoots in my chicken dish. The delivery guy rang the bell, left the bag on the porch, and waited about three yards back to thank me for having tipped. The way he said it gave me the impression that most people aren't tipping.
