    No way, increase the usage! Dude, smoke a bowl while watching the 1982 version! That's a party, man!

  2. Didn't know about the Ken&Barbie movie. First thought is WTH...

    The Gray Man movie has a lot of witty dialogue and I didn't think anything of it at the time but there is a scene in the film where Chris Evans calls Ryan Gosling "Ken" or a "Ken doll" or something like that. Wonder if it was added as a joke because of the upcoming movie.

    Loved the original, but never got around to reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep."

    Double-perks are a good go-to, gotta protect the lungs and vapes don't have a full profile of terpenes. Recently been shifting behavior though, it's become more a crutch that keeps me from doing deeper bodymind work.

    Chris Evans was a great villain, the scene where Gray drops the grenade between them,... "Ballsy!"

  5. It's Sunday again. Unfortunately I didn't get to finish reading all that I had hoped this week, but I did get through a few books aside from an edition of Forbes Magazine.

    Tax-Free Income For Life
    A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement
    By David McKnight
    I guess this was an ok book. But I may not use his plan. Seems some of his other books may be an interesting read.​

    Philosophy
    A Discovery in Comics
    By Margreet de Heer
    Another book for beginners. Things were a little woke near the end where the author didn't wish to discuss philosophers like Kant, etc. because it said that too many from that era were just white boring europeans. So instead she went on the woke train with unknowns. The fuck?​

    Warren Buffett Accounting Book
    Reading Financial Statements for Value Investing
    By Stig Brodersen & Preston Pysh
    ★★★★★
    A very good book! Great review for value investing. Rehashes over everything from financial docs to discounted cash flows.

    Being as I've got deeper into philosophy again, I finally watched an older movie I've been waiting to get to since 2014! The Zero Theorem. Now, to find time to finish watching Billions.

    That graphic on the book cover is from Lawnmower Man, a Stephen King novel.
