Potpourri–A Bunch of Little (& Stranger) Things

This blog post is just a random collection of little things that I’ve been working on over the past week that really don’t deserve a full blog post.
Stranger Things
So I started watching Stranger Things Season 2 over the past weekend. Right now, I’m really enjoying it. The first episode is reestablishing the characters and introducing new characters. I like the vibe of the show, so far, even after only one episode. It is like getting reacquainted with old familiar friends after a long hiatus. There’s a lot of 80s nostalgia that is really forefront in this episode and also several new characters seem like a good mix for the show. I can’t wait to see how it progresses.
iPhone 7
So my iPhone appears to be utterly and truly dead. After talking with Apple, I’m going to have to take it to a local authorized Apple Dealer and see if they have a phone in stock that I can exchange with it, or if I’m going to have to wait for Apple to send me a replacement. Ugh, very frustrating. I’m just grateful that it was in the 1 year warranty period for the phone. I’ll keep you up-to-date on the phone situation. I did, by the way, have a great Technical Support experience and the Apple Advisor was very patient with me as we went through the process. I greatly appreciated that!
Star Trek Next Generation – First Season
I’ve started STNG and the first season is much “rougher” than I remember. I knew Worf’s prosthetics & makeup underwent a redesign, but it looks worse during the first season than I remember. Also, many of the trademark elements that made STNG what it was were either still being formed or hadn’t yet been implemented, so the show feels like an “empty shell” rather than the rich, inventive show that I remember.
Well, that’s all for now–this post will have to be short and sweet. Till next time!
