Cheap Tuesdays

NOTE: There is no new virus in China. This is a rebroadcast from the COVID19 pandemic era.

Boy, looking back on this and hearing myself say "Online learning is cool. I'm happy to be a part of history." Wow. Just. Wow. Those early days of the pandemic, when we all thought it was just going to come and go quickly, and we'd be over it in a month or two. Hindsight sure sucks sometimes.

Most ironic song title of March 2020 - "From Here on it Got Rough".

By the way, Ori and the Blind Forest is a fantastic game, and it's follow up Ori and Will O the Wisps is just as good. Highly recommended games.

Dimitri Lascaris

Yves Engler

Tyrell

Chinese Tik Tok influencer

Rami

Holy cow was I ever watching a lot of TV back in these days...I watch none now at all (except old Hell's Kitchen episodes on youtube!)

When I look back on this list, the series that ended well and are still worth checking out in their entirety (I'd go back and watch them again if I felt like watching TV again)

The Expanse

Westworld

Samurai Jack

Dark

Channel Zero Season 3, 2 and maybe 1

The Leftovers

True Detective (really depends on the season - look at reviews - Season 1 and 3 for sure)

Narcos Mexico (and the original Narcos)

Better Call Saul

The Americans

Peaky Blinders (although I can't remember if I ever finished it; it's worth it for the settings and costumes alone)

Rectify

Mr. Robot

Tudou
