April
1.4 – MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM (1981) (dnf), THE X-FILES S5E3-4
2.4 – THE X-FILES S5E5-6 (dnf)
3.4 – FURIOUS SEVEN (2015) – I fast forwarded this when it came out because of one song in its soundtrack but this time I actually sat down and watched this and paid attention and let me tell you: this movie is dumb.
4.4 – ARE YOU THE ONE S9E8-E10, THE X-FILES S5E6
5.4 – saw THE SOFT MOON live in concert
6.4 – THE X-FILES S5 E7
7.4 – ЕРГЕНЪТ S2E?-?, THE X-FILES S5 E8-9?, LOVE IS BLIND S4E9
8.4 – LOVE IS BLIND S4E10, SCREAM VI (2023) in theater – not great not terrible but the experience was elevated by external forces
9.4 – LOVE IS BLIND S4E11, started watching “Parasite Eve Series Retrospective | An Exhaustive History and Review” which is “just a video essay” but it’s also extremely well researched and produced, and also massive at just under 4 hours, so adding it anyway. Also I haven’t played through the second half of PE yet, so I’m skipping some parts.
11.4 – saw STICK TO YOUR GUNS live in concert (a couple of songs anyway)
12.4 – VIRUS (1999), finished the Parasite Eve Retrospective, started playing “Freelancer”* (PC), ЕРГЕНЪТ S2E16
13.4 – COLUMBO S4E6, METALLICA: 72 SEASONS GLOBAL PREMIERE (2023) in theater – pretty decent for a bunch of grampas, though the videos are questionable
14.4 – ЕРГЕНЪТ S2E17, LOVE IS BLIND S4E12, COLUMBO S5E1 (dnf)
16.4 – HEAD FULL OF HONEY (2018) (dnf)

20.4 – ЕРГЕНЪТ S2E18-19, COLUMBO S5E2 (dnf)
23.4 – SUCCESSION S4E1-2
24.4 – SUCCESSION S4E3-5, saw some short movies in a theater setting including COFFEE AND CIGARETTES – SOMEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA (1993), COFFEE AND CIGARETTES – DELIRIUM (2003), NOCTURNE (1980)
25.4 – JOHN WICK CHAPTER 3 PARABELLUM* (2019) (better than I remembered)

27.4 – ЕРГЕНЪТ S2E20-21, JOHN WICK CHAPTER 2* (2017) (dnf)
28.4 – JOHN WICK CHAPTER 2* (2017) (worse than I remembered)
29.4 – JOHN WICK* (2014), PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN (2020) – two excellent if very different revenge films, 10/10
30.4 – THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (1951) – it’s a fun little movie but anyone telling you this is better than John Carpenter’s THE THING is delusional
May
1.5 – SUCCESSION S4E6, JOHN WICK CHAPTER 4 (2023) in theater – still as cool as ever but too. damn. long.

4.5 – ЕРГЕНЪТ S2E23
6.5 – COLUMBO S5E3, finally got to reading (and finishing) A frog in the fall (and later on) by Linnea Sterte, which is simply sublime and majestic
7.5 – (just had a fun day outside and went to bed at 9 pm)
8.5 – played a session of “Symbaroum” RPG (online)
9.5 – SUCCESSION S4E7, COLUMBO S5E4 (dnf)
10.5 – SUDDEN DEATH (1995), ЕРГЕНЪТ S2E24
11.5 – THE RELIC (1997), ЕРГЕНЪТ S2E25, COLUMBO S5E4
12.5 – COLUMBO S5E5 (dnf), saw THE COMET IS COMING live in concert
13.5 – COLUMBO S5E5, EUROVISION 2023 GRAND FINAL – was kinda scammed into watching this but also managed to fall asleep at least five times during it. I love all my queer people but this is the worst.
16.5 – SUCCESSION S4E8, COLUMBO S5E6
17.5 – COLUMBO S6E1 (dnf)
18.5 – ЕРГЕНЪТ S2 finale – this show is lame.

21-23.5 – SUCCESSION S4E9
30.5 – SUCCESSION S4E10, DERAILED (2002) (slept through most of this but it’s very bad so)

June
1.6 – JEWISH MATCHMAKING S1E1
2.6 – JEWISH MATCHMAKING S1E2-3
3.6 – JEWISH MATCHMAKING S1E4
4-9.6 – loose notes here, but probably some more JEWISH MATCHMAKING, THE ULTIMATUM: QUEER LOVE E9-E10, ANNA NICOLE SMITH: YOU DON’T KNOW ME (2023) (dnf), and at least five separate attempts at finishing COLUMBO S6E2.

12.6 – HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON S1E2, FRAMING AGNES (2022) in theater – loved this
13.6 – HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON S1E3-E5
14.6 – HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON S1E6, S2E1-E6 – i obviously loved this and everyone should watch it, BUT maybe don’t binge it as episodes need some time and space to breathe; or just binge it but then re-watch it, it’s that good.
16.6 – a little concert with some friends
18.6 – THE X-FILES S5E10 (dnf) – this season is very boring so far

22.6 – THE X-FILES S5E13-14
23.6 – ASTEROID CITY (2023) in theater (not great not terrible), saw 1000MODS and UNKLE live in concert (the latter weren’t so live though)

25-29.6 – randomly got recruited to help a film crew
30.6 – COLUMBO S7E2 (dnf)
Main takeaway is that Columbo is still great in its seventh season, and I’m really happy I found out about How To with John Wilson (thanks, friend). For a short time there, if you wanted to start a conversation, mentioning Ергенът was the way to go.
