A few days ago I posted the first of my best Nancy Pelosi memes. Click here to check those out. She is very animated as she speaks so to come up with a few more screen grabs was fun. With that in mind, here are a few more of my best memes from a recent press conference. Enjoy!
Most of the mid west and southeast, excluding south Florida (you punks!), has endured some cold and/or icy and/or snowy and/or rainy weather the last few days. Instead of typing about it all, I decided to give you an update through the magic of video. Take a look at the 4 updates below to know everything you need to know about the wintery weather in Nashville and the south.
I may have more video updates on the way, but there’s a chance no video updates are on the way. Be safe out there y’all!
*Looking for the music from the Season 1 Finale (airing 5/18/2021)? click here*
I’ll start by saying something you might already know from a post I wrote a few months ago about Big Sky… but I’ll say it again:
I. Love. This. Show.
The mid-season finale airing on February 16th included a soundtrack trio of oldies but goodies. First up is “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,” by The Archies. The writers/producers seem to be going with a trend of great (but almost “light”) music paired with heavy scenes. This song played as the villain was escaping from law enforcement after kidnapping a young kid.
Next is classic song is the Everly Brothers “Let It Be Me.” This song played as viewers watched a montage of the characters which have gone to the Great Spirit in the Sky. I like how they sort of memorialized the “good guys” who died, but somehow it also felt like a tribute to the actors playing these parts. I was half expecting there to be a “in memory of…” fading in on a black screen.
The episode ended with a teaser for the next season (starting in April), backed by Martha and the Vandellas “Nowhere to Run.” This song is clearly linked to the suspected murderer/kidnapper Ronald Pergman, but plays over dramatic scenes including familiar characters and a few folks we don’t know yet.
How do you feel about this show and are you as hooked as I am?
For a few months now, when I open up WordPress to start writing about Super Bowl commercials, music, or even hilarious satire, I get this pop-up announcing a new way of putting a post together.
There are two problems with this…
This new style of post is no longer new. They’ve had the “block editor” system for many months.
I reached out to WordPress to find out how to bypass this pop-up, and here was their response.
This feature can not be removed as it is a way to introduce starters to the block editor as part of getting started with a new blog.
WordPress staff
How’s that for a solution? WordPress people, if you’re reading this… please make this pop-up go away! I’ve met the classic block. We’ve become very familiar with each other. I do not need to keep being reintroduced to it.
Other things that I can’t figure out at the moment… my A/C duct work is making a ping sound at random times in the day. Based on research, I think it’s an affect called “oil canning” but I do not have the tools to fix it myself. That is, IF it’s “oil canning.” I may have to call the A/C folks to have them come take a look because just like the WordPress pop-up, it needs to go away.
Lastly, I can barely remember a day in Nashville that was above 50 degrees. We are expecting snow today, which will be fun. But come on, man! I miss the days of old when I could go outside with less than 19 layers of clothes on. Plus, I have a bike I’m dying to ride! I know it will warm up, it seems to warm up every spring, but for some reason this winter has lasted 539 days.
