📺 Silo (2023) - ★★★★☆
A solid 3.5 star but not 4. Great first 4 and last 2 episodes but those 4 filler episodes really suck the life out of the viewer. That said, how good was Steve Zahn? Almost an award worthy performance through this season. I did not like that last scene ending to which I will go into detail a bit later as to why.
Can we fucking accelerate global warming. I want America to become the arctic tundra before 30 days of the president. We can all thaw in 4 years.
2-4" more snow sunday followed by brutal cold to start the week. Looking extremely likely schools are gonna be closed Tuesday and/or Wednesday. I am definitely going to WFH at least one of the days if not both!
The last scene of S2E10 of Silo made me want to 🤮. Everything prior to it was A+ grade.
The sick dog gets the meal that he most loves because generally we don’t give him yogurt-rice on a daily basis. But yogurt-rice is his absolute favorite meal which is a blessing because it makes it so much easier to care for him when he’s sick coz yogurt-rice is the one meal he will eat no matter what. Pakka south indian he is!
I just remembered greatbong for no particular reason, then googled him, went to his website, looked around for a few minutes, and then left and felt there was nothing more to it. Isn’t he the guy who became modi bhakth over a period of time? feels like so but who knows.
This is an insane stretch of really cold weather that has engulfed mid-atlantic region. We usually get snaps of bitter cold that lasts a few days and then again comes back to average temperatures or bit above. It feels like we’ve been in this sub 30 weather for weeks together now and it doesnt show sign of easing next week either. I just hope Jan is the worst of it!
Thanks Joe for everything, but I just wish he had done two things differently: 1/Appoint anyone else other than Garland for DOJ. This gargantuan mistake probably has brought this country on brink of crisis like no other. I can never forgive him for this error. 2/Kept up his promise of being a transitional president and decided 2 years ago to not contest the election, and let someone else get ahead of the game. Incredible accomplishments in his term, but to me I cannot separate these mistakes that have ultimately brought us to today. But, that apart, take a bow!
Doggo is unwell, and when he is unwell it always breaks my heart because he becomes lethargic and energy less. You can make out he is in discomfort. Poor thing :(
I ate a laddoo just now and I just felt like sharing that small detail.
As the inauguration is nearing (you cant help feel it in DC area!), I feel a sense of trepidation and nervousness about whats to come. I am genuinely feeling concerned for not just my own & my family’s well-being but others around me. I know I am going to be mostly ok, but I just dont feel good about what’s to come. I don’t know what is coming but I don’t feel that its going to be good. On the other hand I feel like I am also beginning to align more to the left that truly believes dismantling every single institution and framework and starting again. I am now beginning to believe that is indeed the right thing, not wrong. This country has reached a point where I want every institution to break down completely and restart again. I dont know why I feel this, but I definitely feel it now more than ever.
The math head presented a great slide imo and conveyed everything she wanted to in less than 5 minutes. The on-level vs honors level qn were on-point. I will be sheepish to say I really couldn’t figure out honors level qn - the smarty pants in me was like oh yeah I can tel you the answer right away, and then I was just blank. Definitely had a are you smarter than a 5th grader? moment.
Yesterday we attended the high school orientation session for our school district (yeah i know its only January!). It was a great with each department head presenting options freshmen students will have as they start thinking about their classes in 9th grade. While they all acknowledged that options and AP courses increase from 10th grade, 9th grade still offered lots of interesting options for students to take. The kid and us all agreed that she would absolutely take 9th grade Humanities program which is a combination course between World History 1 Honors and English 9 Honors, and both subjects are taught together. I absolutely love the course work that this program offers - luckily, kid is thrilled about it too! In addition to these kid was interested in Student Government Association, as well as taking a course in Marketing and maybe, just maybe attempting a CyberSecurity elective. Way too many choices so we have some hard conversations ahead in next couple of months, but we absolutely know Humanities is going to be in her selections.
Next Tue is 3 degrees at night. This horrid stretch of weather continues. Also looking another snow storm might be brewing bringing in more snow. This winter has been one of the worst ever. End it already!
New coach at the gym: “Great job! Great form there! You have come a long way!”
Me in my mind: “Today is the first day I am coaching with you ever so not sure which way I came from….”
Ugh, feeling like a cold is coming. Sniffles morning. Uggity uggh.
Silo S2E9 gave me LOST vibes, where one thing opens to yet another new mystery, more questions and more unknowns. I hope makers don’t go down the route of creating so much mystery and unknowns that they have no idea whats happening. As is, Season 2 has been a dump for the most part.
What about Bin Tere Sanam has made it into an evergreen classic? I did not know it was also Jatin-Lalits debut.
lol. Forget Asia, they can’t even compare to three star hotels of USA. A random ass 3 star in USA is miles better than a 4-5 star hotel in Europe. Asian hotels are a pipe dream.
What’s with white people and shoveling snow in tshirt and shorts?! What’s with the showing off? We know you folks don’t feel cold, like ever.
