Flute's Moʻolelo

i was looking at posts i had made about ncis: new orleans to torture myself for no good reason & realized that the final episode was in 2021. four freakin' years ago!

if it was not canceled this year would have been season number 11 for them. but despite my disappointment, 7 seasons is pretty good for a tv show. especially one staring scott bakula.

confession time; since the show filmed in new orleans* whenever there was a national weather report during the filming season (july to march, i think) i would look at the new orleans area to see what the weather was like. yes, i realize that i most likely do need professional help.


*other ncis shows filmed in a studio in los angeles & just did outdoor shots on location.

a follow-up to the previous post.

the case arrived a few days ago & the rubber-ish piece was removed. of course the cover over the charging port tore completely on one side as i was removing it.

it looks like this is a darker black than my brother's case. but then, his has about 2 /12 years of wear and exposure to the sun.

the back rubber-ish piece and the light gray hard inner piece look nice together. otterbox should offer it as a color choice. and i could get a cut of sales if they do for suggesting the idea.

Thought I might be having some sort of cardiac related unpleasantness on Friday night, so I did what any debt fearing American would do and waited until Monday morning to call my nurse practitioner for my covered yearly check-up. They managed to squeeze me in today and after talking about my symptoms, how my heart rate still hadn't regulated back down to normal, and everything going on with my job, we settled on it probably being a several days long eruption of all the anxiety and stress I've been shoving down for so long. So I went and got some beta blockers and a low dose serotonin and we'll see what happens.

I am once again applying to literally everything at my university I think I could do a remotely good job at and will keep these freeloaders in kibble and wet food.

I enjoyed the movie Ballerina a lot. The fight scene using only the grenade belt was fun.

I suffered the movie 28 Years Later. It was a trailer bait and switch.

Glen Powell's new movie dropped a trailer. I enjoyed the first Running Man, and this one somehow looks just as, if differently, unhinged. I borrowed the book from the library and hopefully this weekend will be dead at work so I can read it.

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

so, about 2 1/2 years ago we got our very first smart phones. and in order to protect them we got otterbox cases from their defender line, which have a hard inner piece with a textured rubber-ish piece on the outside. well, about 2 months ago i noticed the cover over the charging port was tearing where it connects to the main body of the rubber-ish piece.
i don't know why this happened. we charge the phones at pretty much the same rate & don't open the covers to an extreme angle to take the charger in and out. the one on my brothers case is fine.

since otterbox has a warranty, my brother looked into what you have to do to file one. he did a chat with an otterbox representative to get going on that. they don't have the color that i got, fort blue, which i don't mind. i didn't really care for the color, it looks more purple in most lighting conditions. they just have black now, which is what my brother has. so i'm keeping the hard inner piece piece that i had, which is a light gray, in order to tell the difference between our phones (his is black.) and i'm going to put a piece of tape in the top edge/back so when i have both of our phones in my backpack (i put them in the cushioned area meant for a laptop) so i can feel to tell them apart especially when it's dark.

the otterbox representative asked my brother in the chat if we still had the phone the case was for. he was like ....yes. apparently we are two of the few people that keep their phones for longer than 2 years.
