Got a call from the fam last night. Apparently CBC had some time to fill on last night's Compass and pulled the Odyssey story from last week. Truly I have now hit the big time (In PEI).
Saw the Odyssey today in the Imax 70mm screening. Absolutely amazing. Even got to do a little nerding out for a short CBC interview. They were doing a story on the film and this rare screening. As a former projectionist I was shared my feels. Hopefully they use some of it.
May have gone a little crazy during that last Criterion sale 😅.
I'm not gonna share the AI "Walmart was cool in 2002" video, so instead as a person who worked at several Walmarts between 1998-2011 I'm gonna share stories of what it was actually like back then. A man with a 32 oz Budweiser in his pocket tried to tickle me several times & we had to call the cops.
Jacob Davison@jacobdavison.bsky.social · 10mo agoPeople falling for that AI nostalgia slop of propagandized versions of the past like the eighties, nineties, and 2000's is bleak as hell.
Newfoundland trip has been amazing. Haven't actually looked at my work email since about 2 days into the trip. I am absolutely terrified to open that Pandora's box in a few days.

Off to NFLD for a couple of weeks. Ferry to Argentia was cancelled so now we are waiting to go to Port Aux Basques late tonight. Long drive to St. John's ahead tomorrow!
My picks have been made! Can I possibly win my wrestling nerd friend group G1 bracket two years in a row?
"Saying hello from whatever alternate universe version of Truro this is." 🤣
I love my mother but holy shit I find it hard to enjoy visiting with her when she spends most of her time watching Boomer AI slop videos on YouTube. I'm having to constantly remind her that this shit doesn't have an ounce of truth to it.
You know a song I think about a lot? "Misery" by Soul Asylum. What an odd little song. 🤔
Out to the Domes of CB! Weather has been a bit testy but a really good time!
We're taking a trip to a spot in Northern CB this weekend. Apparently no cell service and little to no wifi signal. I'm wondering which one of us is going to be first to lose their mind.

Went to a shooooooow tonight! Getting back that mid-00s Canadian indie rock feel.
Back at the gym for the first time since December. Let's goooooooo...at a moderate pace!
Snagged the last case of Cream Soda Pepsi at Mumford. Stashing it away so I can enjoy some in the Summer.
Oil change yesterday. Today we have a check engine light and the car rumbles on the highway. Back to the shop tomorrow! 😤
There's a screening of David Lynch's version of "Dune" next Sunday at Park Lane. It's in one of the smaller auditoriums but still grabbed some tickets!
Did the thing today. Have to say I'm a bit conflicted though. Normally when I vote I take a little bit of my heart into consideration. Didn't do that this time. I hope I don't regret it.
I want Max Caster to keep doing his whole Best Wrestler Alive open challenge thing until eventually Bryan Danielson comes out of retirement just to squash him.
Watching AEW Dynasty and there's a guy on the hard cam with a big Nova Scotia Flag, hat, and wearing a Green Bastard hoodie. Haha awesome.
Unsurprisingly the game I am most excited for on Switch 2 is a port or Yakuza 0. Just give me an excuse to play that masterpiece again.
