Down here in Texas, the power came back on Sunday and this week has largely been about cleaning up the inevitable messes that come along with being cut off from the world for six days.  This week, I already wrote about the funk that I was struggling to break free from and, as you can see by comparing this week to previous weeks, The Texas Branch of TSL is still in the process of getting back to full strength.  

Fear not — we’ll get there!  As of now, Retro Television Reviews and, hopefully, all of our other regular features are scheduled to return on June 16th.  Hopefully, by that time, my mood will be back to normal and the city will have finally picked up all of the tree limbs that we have piled up in front of the house.  Here’s hoping!

And here’s what I watched this week:

(Our power is back!  Jeff, Erin, and I went out to dinner tonight and, when we returned to the house around 8:00, all of the lights were on!  I was so happy that I yelled for joy and then did a little jump and twirl in front of the house!  It might take a few days to get back into the regular posting habit — Retro TV Reviews might take another week off — but still, we are back!  I’m currently watching Degrassi on Pluto TV and thinking about how much cleaning we’re going to be doing tomorrow.

Below is what I wrote at 9 this morning while taking advantage of the free wifi at a nearby McDonald’s.  I scheduled it because I wasn’t expecting the power to be back today.  It provides an honest look at how I was feeling for most of today!)

6 days — six! — without power and it doesn’t appear that the situation is going to change soon.  Slowing down work is that it keeps raining.  I understand that but I’m still not happy.  No lights.  No AC.  I’ve had to toss out a ton of food.  Last night, I did my laundry at a freaking laundromat.  Meeting a stranger while washing your thongs is cute in romantic comedies but considerably less so in real life.

Disasters bring out everyone’s true character.  Erin is checking on our elderly neighbors.  Jeff has been helping people clear fallen tree branches out of their yards.  Case and Leonard have stepped up to keep the site active during our absence.

And I’ve been kvetching for six days.

Hopefully, the Texas Branch of TSL will be back soon!

What a sad week!  On May 9th, Roger Corman passed away.  Earlier today, producer and film distributor Mark Damon also passed.  Corman and Damon were two men who revolutionized both the film industry and the way that movies were distributed in the pre-Streaming era.  Both of these men were famous for their Cannes deals and both passed away a few days before the opening of the 2024 Festival.

Closer to home, my Dad was in a car accident on Thursday morning.  He’s okay and the car survived as well but still, that’s not the type of call that you like to get at 4:30 in the morning.  I feel like I’ve been a little bit off my game ever since getting that call.

On a positive note, Cannes starts on Tuesday!  I can’t wait for the the news to start to coming in from France!

On Monday, I spent 20 minute staring straight at the sun.

Before anyone freaks out, there was actually a lot of cloud cover so my eyes were protected.  I mean, I don’t think my eyesight has gotten any noticeably worse over the last few days.  The important thing is that I got to watch the solar eclipse.  It was a beautiful moment, standing in my backyard as the afternoon suddenly went dark.  A few minutes later, I experienced the world lighting back up.  I’m glad I was able to witness it.

Here’s what I read, watched, and listened to this week.
