📺 Rewatched “Star Wars: Rebels” over the last few months. Such a great show. As serious consequences unfold and big things happen, I kept saying: “This is a kid’s show??”.

Rocks stacked on the path at the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge on the Outer Banks, NC. With the very cool looking Life Saving Station in the background!

📺 Well that was a pretty strong opening to “The Last of Us”. Pretty sure I didn’t breathe through the whole opening sequence. srlzd.com/r/35c78d

Looks like third party apps on twitter are busted, I’m guessing the cross posting from microblog is down too?

The supports for the dock on the Neuse River in New Bern, NC—but all close up with reflections and kind of abstract.

Woah, I just learned the gradient in the sky from my photo earlier today is called a “Belt of Venus”

I just mistyped the name of the show “Ted Lasso” as … Tex Lasso. Now I need to know what that show is about.

I love the gradient of the sky over the ocean at sunset.

📺 We finished watching Netflix’s “Kaleidoscope“ and I’m not convinced that the watch in any order idea worked out. Many of the episode felt like they relied too much on knowing the characters.

The Oregon Inlet Life Saving Station is something I’ve wanted to photograph all year. I didn’t know it was such a great place to walk in the sand and explore the beach.

2023 Movie #1: “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery“. Really fun movie and I laughed a lot.

I watched 99 movies in 2022. Including rewatching all the Mission: Impossible and Lord of the Rings movies. Enjoyed a lot of them but some of my favorites were “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”, and “RRR”.

Really glad we did our 10 day van trip, it was fun and challenging (weather didn’t help). I’m also glad we left a day to unwind before I go back to work.
