Commentary: February 2019 Archives
Last Wednesday I bought a small external hard drive big enough for *everything*. I started backing everything up at 17:23. It finished this morning at 00:23.
!!!
Five and half days to back everything up.
Should probably get a computer capable of supporting USB 3 .. hrmmm....
So we watched all eight episodes of Marie Kondo's Tidying Up. OMFG people have a lot of clothes! It'd be interesting to see just how many clothes we have. I feel like I don't have many clothes at all. Be cool to see though. But probably not until Stu's next uni break.
Saw the first episode of season 4 of Fuller House on 26/1, and the second episode tonight.
We've seen the first four episodes of season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. Still enjoying that.
And we've seen the first seven episodes of season 1 of MacGyver that I have on DVD. It hasn't aged so well, although better than Knight Rider.

Io. OMFG I want those hours of my life back!! Nothing happens. Slow. Boring. But mostly "yeah right". Did not like.
26.1.19
Julia sans Julie. Someone edited all the Julie Powell bits out of Julie and Julia, leaving just the Julia Child sections. I enjoyed the original movie, although it seems they made the movie version of Julie nicer than the real life version. But I never read any of the original blog, so no idea. Did enjoy the version with just Julia Child.
The Usual Suspects. I hadn't seen this since I first saw it at Luc and Lizzi's about twenty three years ago. Even knowing the ending didn't help much. I'd forgotten just about everything else about it. And I think if I watched it again now I'd still struggle to keep up with what was going on heh.

Dunkirk. Ok so I realised there were different time speeds happening. But it was still a bit confusing to watch. Otherwise not bad.
That's really not very many for nearly a month..
Ok so it's been really freaking stinking hot since we got back (and apparently before we got back as well).
In January there was a week where we had 40C days for like four days in a row. Hottest January on record. Our cooler was going nonstop for a couple of weeks straight.
The blue periwinkle went a bit crazy while we were away. This was about five weeks of growth. I ripped it all out and have been keeping it down, but is going to take a lot of effort to kill..
It got over 50C in the parked car on 18 January..
We had a very nice sunset on 27 January. I was at Chrissie's and Zac called me to come look. It was all over social media that night.
We have had a *lot* of thunder storms. On 30 January one went over, but most of the lightning was cloud lightning rather than ground lightning. It flashed *a lot*. I even captured this on my phone.
Today we had a dust storm. I'll append a pic here when I download them.
