After much deliberation, my friend subscribed to Ulysses. While he was poking around, he discovered functions I knew nothing about. It was an educational night.

Sentimental Sandman
I enjoyed Sandman. Thatās saying something because I have an emotional connection to that comic book and that time in my life when it was published. Iām amazed that it exists at all. The fact that Sandman is gorgeous and has a fantastic cast is so much icing on the cake.
But Iām not in love with the series. In fact, despite the writing and the cast, the show felt a little flat. But I was entertained, and I would recommend it to anyone I think might appreciate Sandman.
Itās difficult for me to be objective about the series because of my relationship with the comic book. I might have been overwhelmed had I come to Sandman with zero knowledge of the source material. However, the fact that I didnāt hate the Sandman series or cringe at any point says a lot about the show.
Bonus: I got to see my penultimate issues of Sandman on the screen. What a time to be alive.

Iām looking forward to watching Prey, but Iām one of those weirdos who enjoyed Predator 2. I hear thereās grumbling online about āThe Messageā in Prey. I havenāt seen the movie yet, so I donāt have an opinion on that topic yet. Iām just looking for a good story. If there is a āmessageā and they tell it compellingly, Iām in. But if Iām bludgeoned with the āmessage,ā that might be a dealbreaker.
Iām not concerned about āThe Messageā in movies. Iām worried about how itās executed. For example, in Avengers: Endgame, there was the grrrl power shot that occurred in the final fight scene with Thanos. Marvel Studios patted themselves so hard on their back they nearly threw their shoulder out. It was so heavy-handed. There was an equivalent scene in The Mandalorian where a troop of women went to battle. They never drew attention to it and were so matter-of-fact that it wasnāt until afterward that I realized what I had just seen: a group of competent women bravely putting themselves in harm’s way. Same scene, but minus the fanfare. Itās all about the execution.
I want to replace Ulysses with iA Writer and have one less subscription in my life. But I find that for me, Ulysses provides an ideal writing environment. I want to write without getting bogged down with a screen full of markdown URLs.
When I write something shorter where I donāt mind a lot of markdown, I usually do it in Drafts.
Every morning I listen to two albums. Today I listened to I told Bessie by Euclid and The Swan by Nwando Ebizie. šµ
