today i had rogers' 'your world this week' tv channel (channel 1; essentially the tv guide channel) on in the background and happened to notice an interview with an actress they identified as "amanda sayfried." i was pretty sure that wasn't how amanda seyfried spelled her name, but figured it was more likely that i just never knew the spelling than it was that they'd made such an obvious mistake. a few minutes later, however, during an interview segment with "olando bloom," i reconsidered that position.

today i finished roma, approximately two-and-a-half weeks after i started it, having watched it here and there in five- or 10-minute increments, sometimes not returning to it for multiple days at a time. just the way alfonso cuarón intended.

today i passed a house that had a hand-made poster attached to its front door, clearly drawn by a child, with the message "all lives matter" written on it. if that were my child, i simply would have told them that the poster wasn't fridge-worthy, let alone front-door-worthy, and would have had them start over.

today i added the 'ctv life' channel to my cable package at a rate of $7/month for the sole purpose of being able to live-view an episode of wedding-themed reality show 'where to i do?' starring my friends.

today i was walking down davenport road when i saw a sign attached to a street lamp that read "PAINT IT BLACK!" in big letters. having seen a number of signs and posters related to black lives matter and defunding the police in the area lately, i was curious to read the smaller text on this one to see what its message was. however, upon getting closer, i saw that it continued "... or green, or blue (etc.)" and realized that it was actually just an advertisement for a painting service.
