Yesterday was actually a productive work day, after playing my video game in the morning.

So, once again, all I got through is soaps:

soaps: Y&R - Epie from within the past week. Kyle basically tells Claire to buzz off - that he's not going to grovel for Victor's approval because it's pointless (true!) - which Claire doesn't like to hear. Mariah continues to not tell Tessa what she did, causing Tessa anguish. (How long is it going to be before Tessa falls into bed with Daniel?!!) Phyllis tells Daniel she's done with Billy's new business venture, and is actually plotting revenge! REVENGE! against Billy!
    DOOL - GH. Wed's ep. Alexis hires Spinelli to track down Ric's totalled car from the accident, to "help" awful Kristina, and they track down that Ava hid the totalled car away in a warehouse. Drew, Willow & Nina, and Carly, Jason & Diane, respectively, are forced to plot strategies now that the divorce hearing is happening in a couple of weeks - ridiculously, they want us to believe this is going to happen without Michael being physically present there! [roll!] Laura gets into it with Councilman Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) in front of Lulu; earlier, Lulu tells Laura she's dropped her adoption article, which puzzles Laura.

 This wasn't Days, was another show.

Sidenote: Today is the last "official" day of classes for me. Next week I have to give final exams on Monday and Friday, and will have go into work on Thursday (and Saturday evening!) as well, but Summer break fast approaches, so hopefully I can get back to some movie watching next week (or definitely the week after next!).

I made a post yesterday and apparently usenet ate it.  It's not in my sent, outbox or drafts.  So this will be a quick two day catch-up.
I watched:
Law & Order: Organized Crime (Peacock) - I finished episode 2 and watched episode 3, which was mostly background noise.
Sherlock and Daughter - "For Kith and Kin" - Mostly background noise.
Love, Death, and Robots (Netflix) - I watched the first three episodes. They were generally, meh.
Final Destination Bloodlines (theatrical) 6th movie in the franchise and this one is one massive backstory to explain them all, more or less. This one starts in 1968 and shows a young woman surviving the destruction of a restaurant at the top of a tower thanks to a handy premonition.  All the deaths in all the movies have simply been death cleaning up lose ends, and now death has finally come for her, and her family.  Technically death has been after her for decades. But she has been studying death for decades, always staying one step ahead.  Unlike other Final Destination movies where you get one person who has a premonition then tries to warn everyone else this movie has a group of people who pretty early on know what's up and how the game is played thanks to their mother/grandmother who has been preparing them since birth.  Not everyone believes at first, but when things start to go down, they quickly get with the picture.  That puts a slightly different spin on it, not that death isn't coming for them anyway.  Overall, it was OK.  And obviously it was Tony Todd's final movie.  It was particularly sad because he was obviously sick when he filmed his scenes and knew he was dying.  :-(
