Woke up feeling crummy this morning. It's not unusual for me to feel this way when the weather changes the way it has over the past 24-36 hours, so I was hoping that my morning coffee would make feel better, as it does a lot of the time. It didn't. Then I was hoping my hot shower would make me feel better; it didn't. So, no church for me this morning. Hoping I'll feel better by tomorrow.
I know this isn't the first time I've mentioned this (far from it), but it still really annoys me that, when I "buy" a digital copy of a movie, I don't get to actually own it. I just have access to it as long as the company hosting it sees fit. This is why, still, >90% of the time, I buy the physical copy instead of or in addition to the digital copy.
Disney: "Actually, you can't, because you already have a Disney account (you know, your existing Disney+ account) with that email address."
Me: "Okay, but if I sign into Disney Movie Insiders with that email address, I don't have any reward points."
Disney: "...?"
Disney: "You should link your Disney+ account with your Disney Movie Insiders account to get reward points every month from your subscription"
Me: "Cool, let me do that."
Disney: "Actually, you can't, because your Disney+ account & your Disney Movie Insiders account use different email addresses. You need to update your Disney Movie Insiders account to use your Disney+ email"
Me: "Cool. I'll update my account."
Apparently, if you buy a bunch of Command hooks/strips, and keep them sitting around for a while until you need them, they lose their stickiness completely, so they're worthless and you wasted a lot of money.
I'm not talking about ones you used; I'm talking about the ones still sitting in their packages.
Finally watched Top Gun: Maverick. It was pretty good. A nice nod to the original, and a nice tribute to Val Kilmer. It's almost scary just how much they were able to make Miles Teller look like Anthony Edwards.
Obviously, the idea of a 60-year-old being able to do half of the things Tom Cruise did in the film is absolutely ridiculous, but, it is a movie.
Spent the afternoon playing games and eating snacks with my parents.
We even broke out Dark Tower and played it for a while. It's incredible that it still works, and that it's still fun. It's even more incredible that no one has re-released that game.
Apparently it sells for ~$400+ on eBay, etc because it's so rare to have a working, complete version.
