Just finished Beverly Hills Cop (1984) on Paramount+. I donāt think Iāve seen the whole thing since it was in theaters. While it isnāt a particularly sophisticated film, it was pretty good. Murphy really is charismatic, and the talented supporting cast pull their weight. šæ

I enjoyed the first (and only) season of The Brothers Sunāit was a fun and interesting take on some organized crime cliches. It is too bad that Netflix didnāt renew for a second season. šŗ

But if I use āremind me to,ā now it goes into the default Reminders list, which it didnāt used to do. This is an improvement, but I cannot figure out why this happened, nor did I expect to find (eventually) my to dos in Notes.

Before this week, I would ask Siri to āremember toā something, and she would enter a Reminder in my default āInboxā list, which Omnifocus would read and add to my OF inbox, deleting it from Reminders. Now when I use the ārememberā command, she copies the information to Notes, which I do not want.

Finished reading: Banjo by Claude McKay šThis twentieth-century American classic is well worth reading. The vernacular style can be a challenge for some folks, but McKay delivers a celebration of African and African-American people and culture.

In two different airports, Iāve seen children ride four-wheeled roller bags like fast-moving scooters or body boards. The adults around them seem charmed by the noveltyā¦for now.

Finished reading: My Guru and His Disciple by Christopher Isherwood šI found this to be a surprisingly engaging spiritual memoir. Isherwoodās devotion to Vedanta is sincere, as his attraction to the world.

I know Seth Meyers was intending to be complimentary when he called it āstupidā (well, ābrilliantly stupidā), but it is also a very sweet and sentimental show, particularly towards the city in which it is set.
