Still watching too much television. Hey, you try walking on my knees, sport.
Finished the final season of Star Trek Lower Decks. Excellent, hilarious, brilliant and stupid in the same instant.
Finished the 14th series of Doctor Who. What a slog. The 15th doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, has good moves, but the stories ... oh the stories. Babies in space, for heaven's sake. A mysterious origin for the Doctor's Companion, Ruby, turned out not mysterious at all. Best new enemies: shape-shifting avian humanoids, the Chuldur. Best new buddy: a mysterious bounty hunter named Rogue who sacrifices himself to save Ruby.

Product marketing, aka selling, reached Peak Pushing over the holidays, what with a half-dozen sprays and solids pitched for smelly bodies. Indicates just how scared some people are in the Time of Trump and Terrorism. They cannot control the madness but they can control how their "privates" smell.
But the funniest ad was for a shower head. The pitchman sincerely declared how wonderful using his shower head makes the bather feel. I hope whomever wrote that ad moves on to movies; the writer's a genius.
Did not miss at all TV ads for Jared jewelry ... but there were plenty of others hawking hideous shiny items.
Will not miss perfume ads, but the images of gorgeous bodies barely clad ... already missing them.
