What a long frigging tiring day at work. Ugh.

📺 Utopia (2014) – ★★★★★
Utopia is the best comedy show in the last decade that has not made it out of Australia. Thanks to cousin of my cousin who’s based there we binged watched this over last few months and my goodness this nation building comedy is absolutely bang on the money on how government projects work. Absolutely brilliant show! Will share some YouTube clips of the show.
In other news two weeks ago Best Buy was running some crazy trade in promotion on MacBook airs that I ended up trading in my m2 MacBook Air 13” in lieu of m5 MacBook Air 13” and I paid like 475$ total. That one day sale didn’t happen again and I am glad I jumped at it – every which way the specs on m5 are better not just with processor but with 16gb ram and 512 ssd compared to m2 / 8gb / 256gb.
This 2 week enforced break from social media actually felt good! I uninstalled BlueSky and Mona 2 weeks ago and did not check once. I disabled all echo feeds as well. I feel refreshed enough that I’d like more of this! Also, this break was partly inspired by this beautifully done Pinterest ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr8bNBuptpU
I am enjoying my break enough that a part of me wants to just delete my mastodon account all together. Maybe it is time for the great social media disconnect!
🍿 O’Romeo (2026) – ★☆☆☆☆
Absolutely insufferable! We couldn’t get past an hour of this tripe. How the hell did Vishal Bharadwaj go so wrong?
🍿 Trevor Noah: Joy in the Trenches (2026) – ★★★★☆
Runs out of gas in end but still a very lovely show!
🍿 Do Deewane Seher Mein (2026) – ★★☆☆☆
Complete snoozefest. A 2 hour 12 minute movie felt like 3 and half hours.
Day 2 of break and I am actually feeling ok not posting anything on mastodon. I definitely do not want to post anything on mastodon for 2 weeks and then I will call it from there.
