    Spy X Family

    Well worth the wait indeed! Chapter 48 was fantastic. Anya can do it all Solid look for Loid at the end there too

    Episode 12 of Shadows House was pretty good, I thought, but it seems that some fans of the manga are not super impressed with how it is deviating from the manga. I don’t think it’s fair to blame CloverWorks for everything like some have, but I dunno Looking like a “one and done” based on what they’re doing to end this season. Maybe I’ll look into reading the manga instead. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1932849 https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1931999

    Wales got beat bad by Denmark today. Italy vs. Portugal or Belgium ought to be a good match next round. IIRC Belgium was quite good in the group round. 9 points. Not the strongest group though. Anyway, I don’t know jack, but it appears they’re a good team.

    I’m glad we got a seemingly happy ending from TWEWY, but it didn’t make a ton of sense to me in the end. It’s a video game story. That’s just the way it goes sometimes.
  5. After a rough stretch last week, the Jays have now won 5 in a row. Won 2 against Baltimore after dropping the series opener, then swept the 2-game series in Miami, and last night won the next series opener vs. Baltimore. 3 more games vs. Baltimore over the weekend, and then an off-day, and then 3 games vs. the Mariners. Please win them all, Blue Jays!

    2021 NHL Season

    The Habs booked their ticket to the Cup Finals. Isles/Bolts tied 3-3, so it's a coin toss who the Habs will be facing off against.

    Who you got winning it all? There could be some pretty tasty quarter final match-ups! Portugal vs. Italy and France vs. Spain should both be good matches if that's how it plays out. I hope the Netherlands come out of the bottom half of the bracket. I've always cheered for them. No special reason why

    Re-watching Golden Boy usually gets me the worst. To be a freeter, travelling Japan on my trusty bicycle, doing odd jobs, getting into all kinds of wacky situations... what a life Super Cub got pretty close to that same feel though

    Super Cub #12 *chef’s kiss* Pretty much a perfect finish.

    The new chapter of The Elusive Samurai was really good Candy Flurry continues to be fun too. Dr. Stone # 201 i tell c was kinda meh. After the mAR chapters, this latest chapter is less interesting/impressive. Still need to read the new DB Super chapter.

    Sports Docus Pocus

    I went to the Toronto Indy once when I was a kid. Pretty incredible to see/hear those cars up close. Watching a race in-person wasn't that much fun though. Definitely seems like a sport that is better suited to watching on TV so you can actually see what's going on around the whole track. Cool experience though. My dad used to own a tire shop and he had close contacts at Goodyear. They hooked us up with some pretty awesome tickets to sports events over the years.

    Sports Docus Pocus

    Did Lee watch Drive to Survive? I have also noticed more F1 talk lately. Drive to Survive seems to be the gateway drug for many, but I guess even people who didn't watch Drive to Survive are getting sucked into F1 because their friends are getting into it. Everybody's doing it! You want to be cool, right? Time to get into F1 Like Ma said though, it's pretty incredible what these drivers do. The more I learn/hear about it, the more it fascinates me. You could spend hours and hours just reading about tires (which I happen to find interesting, but maybe I'm just a sicko ) I still find it hard to envision myself watching an entire race, but you never know When I saw this thread title, I had to think long and hard about what "Docus" meant I eventually clued in that it was short for documentaries, but at first it threw me... I was thinking "docus" as in a word (I'd never heard of) that rhymes with "focus" or "locus"...

    Fruits Basket

    I guess watching that scene made my brain immediately go to: What if me and/or my wife die young like that, and leave our kids behind? So that's kinda depressing to think about. And Kyoko's going on about how it's sad to be left and to leave, "Did I not love Tohru enough?" (or something like that), and then the visuals of her bloody, dying in the street, etc. I dunno, it just plain bummed me out Please make the final episode 100% happy fun times.

    Fruits Basket

    Yeah I know there is one more episode left. I tried typing something up to explain myself, but I am not articulate enough today to describe why I wasn't a fan of that scene -- oh well

    Ugh I could have done without the depressing ending of episode 12. I had hoped we were done with the sad stuff.

    Odd Taxi has been a wild ride. I love how it’s all coming together. Only one episode left. Binge watch it to get caught up for next Monday!

    I’ve been meaning to watch the MJ thing forever now… The Last Dance? Shattered also sounds like a really interesting podcast docu series about the Knicks. It was produced by The Athletic. I’ve never gone down the F1 rabbit hole… maybe someday…

    Final Fantasy V - Four Job Fiesta

    Gilgabot came through for me -- my Earth job is Samurai. So I've got !GilToss to fall back on if the going gets tough. But my party has been doing surprisingly well just beating up on everything with Monk (Barehanded) and Berserker powers. Even my Dancer and Samurai are forgoing weapons in favour of using their fists. I'm at Moore now.

    I heard about the Coca Cola thing a bit on the news, not really clear on all the details, but if I was a high performance athlete then I wouldn’t want to drink that stuff either Who cares if they’re a tournament sponsor. Speaking of Ronaldo, I rather enjoyed watching Germany thump Portugal this weekend
  21. The foreign substance thing is going to be really interesting to watch. Could be an awkward situation for the umps to be in. I think they like enforcing rules though, so I guess it will be ok for them.

    Shadows House #11 was quite a bit more interesting than the last several episodes — I’m actually really looking forward to the next episode!

    The finale of 86 was… OK? There were stronger episodes than this one. Seems like there will be another season eventually. This was kind of a non-ending.

    Final episode of Vivy was really good too! I’m gonna save TWEWY for next weekend and watch the final two episodes together
  25. The Dbacks might keep losing forever Sadly, my Jays have hit a rough patch of late too. Vlad has been a bright spot all season, which is great, but they’re losing what could be important games right now. Gotta get back into that Wild Card race. George Springer has only played in 4 games for the Jays this year
