I watched A Ghost Story on Netflix. For a low-budget production about a man in a sheet with eye holes watching the world change around him, it's actually pretty interesting.

How many people have you killed? My annual evaluations when I was on combat duty used the term "hundreds". I didn't quibble with the officer who wrote that, despite his not going on patrol with us.

"Alita, Battle Angel". Must have been a 'graphic novel' or something. I am watching it in 2-5 spurts.

I have a coupon for $2 off a rental at Vudu. As soon as I get some more money, that sounds like a good plan.
