This lone lamppost always befuddles me — I can never decide whether to be saddened by its loneliness or be pleased to see it still stand strong.

Micro Monday: @eli. His stream is full of interesting posts and snaps. And some delightful conversations on varied topics. You will surely find something that interests you.
They say the world online is spoilt, spiteful. It’s all rage, and slander. All one utters of others online is vile. I did believe so too.
And then I read people’s Micro Monday recommendations at Micro.blog. This place’s like a calming oasis, surrounded by a dull, rough desert.
So I wasn’t too off on Oscars predictions. We can kind of guess which movies will win the big awards. I wish Dunkirk had won some, but I guess movies I like the most are never Oscar material.
Anyway, I will follow my every year’s Oscar ritual. Start watching all winners again.
So the Oscars are almost here. And I’ve got a feeling that it will be The Shape of Water, Darkest Hour and Get Out that will win big.
Dunkirk has some top nominations, but I doubt if it has a chance at Oscars, especially with its multiple-timeline split narrative.
A tray of fresh breakfast served by my daughter’s imagination.
Watched Spider-Man: Homecoming again. I just love every film in MCU. Superhero films are supposed to be fun, not some dark societal commentary.
And Spider-Man finally gets a perfect film — one that lets him be a learning bumbling powerful goodhearted teen.
I guess the attempt from Apple to market HomePod as a speaker-first-smart-later device didn’t work. All I see is people complaining about how Siri sucks. May be it’s the tech community that is vocal in their dislikes at this point.
But anyway days ahead for HomePod look stormy.
Greens at home make a tiresome day just a tad more soothing.
“Being a parent makes you feel like a blanket that’s always too small.”
Few truer words have been spoken on parenting than this. And who else than Backman to pen them.
