I'm gonna show my age here, but we had an Atari 2600, and then one of the original Nintendo Systems when I was in junior high. My neighbor had a Coleco set up, and a family up the street had an Intellivsion set up. That was in for a long long time until we got a Wii about 10 years ago? My kids used it religiously for about a month, and then that was it.

All of this to say that I'm old and suddenly feel like yelling at a cloud.

Speaking of which, I went to see Raiders in the theater. My dad busted me out of school, and we caught a matinee. I'm cautiously optimistic that this one is gonna be good. We'll see.

What am I into this week? Succession (#TeamShiv4Lyfe), and my new favorite shiny object, Notes. the music writing community is slowly fumbling their way through the fog & finding one another. Despite some early teething issues (anyone else get spammed by an antisemite?), I think it's great.

"Show my age" <rolls up sleeves> Shiiiiiitttt.

Our first console was the Intellivision. Granted I was probably 3 or 4. From there we had the Atari 2600, and I've owned pretty much every system since!

However, I was definitely too young to see Raiders in theater, so you win, old man! 😆

I'm a bit more than 50% into S2 on Succession, so perhaps Shiv gets more likable later on, but so far I'm not totally onboard with her other than her amazing borecore wardrobe! Me, #TeamRome cuz he's by far the funniest. He can be mean for sure, but at the end of the day I feel bad for him. Now if I were to take a "Which Succession Character Are You" quiz, then I'm Connor. Not too proud of that fact, but that's what my husband and I both agree on :/

Animal is my fave Muppet!! Then Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker cuz they're scientific and everything. Dr. Honeydew has the edge though over Beaker, since Bunsen can speak actual words, so he's easier for me to understand. And thank you for having an Antonio Banderas gif! <3

Kermit doesn't rate a mention? 🤔😆

Well, The Rainbow Connection is probably my favorite movie song of all time and he sings that one! But I would still put other Muppets ahead of Kermit. Namely Fozzy, Miss Piggy, and Janice 🐷
