Oct. 24th, 2017 03:35 amBlack Mirror s.1-3: A quite good Twilight Zone/Outer Limits style anthology series. Though I'm not sure if I always picked up on the right lessons. Like wondering if maybe the robo-bees that found their targets using the equivilant of facial recognition software could be defeated with Halloween masks? Or that the take away from "I'll Be Right Back" is avoid making major purchases while still dealing with shattering levels of grief?
Patton Oswalt: Annihilation: Speaking of which, comic Oswalt mines the '16 election and the recent loss of his wife for the whole laugh-to-avoid-crying thing.
Red Oaks s.3: A final season for Amazon's 80s nostalgia show. Manages to at give a generally satisfying happy ending to the majority of the cast by the end. Though I wonder if the couple minor Trump references were meant to quite as jarring as they were for me.

Learned yesterday that my maternal grandmother passed away over the weekend. Grandma Root (1922-2016) was sadly the grandparent I barely knew. We'd met a few times when she came down to see my aunt (father's sister) who lived locally. And, until her health started failing and she moved into a senior center up in Sasketchewan, I got Christmas cards. But I just knew her as a nice older lady. But she will be loved and missed.
