Want to keep watching TV, even if I'm tired. Wish the Universe would give me a sign...

Conflicted about #Peacemaker S2 finale.

On one side, lots of great character scenes. And I finally turned around to the new theme song.

On the other, ending sucks unless there's a S3. But I don't think there'll be. Gunn will solve it in a DCU movie or another show.

#Buffy took a little more of my time than expected -- it was a good one, they were improving in S2 -- but now I'm ready for that #Peacemaker finale.

Counting each slice in this turkey, ham and cheese sandwich (and each gram of sauce and bread) to calculate how many scoops of ice cream I can have for dessert. #dinnertime #tmi

Seems like the only sensible thing I can do is a self-code review... tomorrow, with caffeine in my brain.

Now I should log off, make a light dinner -- I'm thinking a turkey sandwich -- and try to de-stress before the #Peacemaker finale drops online.

The #horror genre has seen different reboots in the last decade, but the 2010s had two disappointing reboots that can teach the genre some big lessons.

Most days I'm quite satisfied with the code I write. Not today. I'm re-reading it and feels all sorts of sloppy... but does the work.

Stomach is warning me in firm terms that no heavy foods will be tolerated today. Good thing I'm spending the #WFH day away from any restaurants. Time for oatmeal and yogurt. #lunchbreak
