Well, they'll be happy at work tomorrow...

(No, I didn't watch, but it's easy to keep an ESPN window open for updates on these Internets. Hey, I didn't know I owned a lumber company...)

... and I'm sure the prices just went up on all those Eagles items in half the stores in this corner of the state. Damn, I knew I should have picked up that big blue and gray, foam "Eagles #1" giant hand glove earlier today for a buck, so I could send it down to Handsome. He's such an Eagles fan, after all. I can almost hear his happy dance of joy from here.

On the left, we see the stain in the foreground where Falcons' coach Jim Mora lost control of his bowels early in the fourth quarter. Down to the right, you see the Eagles support squad rolling the traditional post-game joint, prepared pre-game, which for the first time since the early 80's will actually be smoked as part of a victory celebration rather than to dull the painful memories.

The Eagles are heading back to the Super Bowl, when and wherever they hold such a thing. (No, please, don't tell me where. I'm embarassed enough by making all these football references as it is.) Hopefully that'll keep most of the people in the office jabbering about both today's game and what "The Birds" will be facing in the big game based on the other game to be played yet today, the one that will have determined who they'll be up against. Anything to keep them from diving back into work.

(TV/streaming video) New & Leftover Items, a Touch of 2024, and some Nostalgic Forensics

    So much else calling out for attention, and with watchables already piled up, finding even more things to watch doesn't seem like much of a sane prospect. I'm not even fishing around for new things at the moment, as I need to get some other things done and make some attempt to round out my life a little.       This week on Paramount+, the fourth season of the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks came to a satisfying end. A manic pace of in-universe nods continues to give it the Star Trekiest of Trek feels with the casual, plot-essential trivia drawn from decades of Star Trek shows, woven throughout.       Also there, the contemporary Frasier series' first season hits its halfway point with episode five. I'm enjoying it, but it continues to walk a wobbly line as some of it works smoothly while other moments reek of formula, with some of each overlapping. I'd be very interested in seeing how well or not this new series works on its o...

Catching Up with Old Friends (Streaming media series)

   I haven't done any blogging posts on current and streaming media since November 3rd, which broke a streak of weekly ones that had been going since September of 2019 - albeit as part of a different, group, blog. As with many such inactions, it wasn't intended as a formal stoppage, just a momentary delay, but here it is five weeks later. This post's linking theme is the return of fondly-remembered characters. It really should include the recent arrival to streaming of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny over on Disney+, but I haven't really mustered my reactions to that. Instead, I'll stick with two other nostalgic items that arrived this week.       Yesterday saw the arrival of the season finale, episode ten, of Kelsey Grammar's return of Frasier Crane in the 2023 iteration of Frasier , over on Paramount+.      The series picked up on the titular character in the present, whom we haven't seen since his 11-season first series wr...

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where...
