Ramen Parlor - Crab Spicy Miso Ramen ($19) [+] Usually I get the Crab Curry Ramen (I think, it’s a curry one) and it’s good but not great. Changed it up and this is much better. First I had it medium instead of hot and that is still a bit too spicy so maybe next time mild will be perfect. It has no bean sprouts so that’s a big plus. It’s crab meat mixed into the soup so you don’t have to shell it. Miso soup is salty and tasty. Hiro Nori has a ramen that I like more but this one is pretty close.

Snoopy in Space s2 (2021) [+] Apple TV+'s Snoopy in Space s1 had Snoopy becoming an astronaut and going on a Lunar mission whilst the rest of the gang provided ground support. Season 2 focuses on the other planets in the solar system and the possibility of finding life. This time Snoopy and friends stay on the ground and in each of the 12 8-minute episodes we examine a planet or moon or robot. It's educational and entertaining.

Stephen Curry: Underrated (2023) [/] Apple TV+ documentary going through Curry’s childhood and high school and college career (with archival footage) mixed with recent interviews and threading in the 2021-22 Warriors season and into the playoffs. It’s a pleasant film though superficial enough that I’m not sure it’s trying to make any sort of point.

Physical #1.1 (2001) [-] Apple TV+ half hour dark comedy series set in the early 1980’s coastal California. Rose Byrne stars as Sheila, a housewife battling bulimia and an unhappy marriage who discovers aerobics exercise. I only watched the first episode and it’s really dark because we’re constantly hearing Sheila’s inner voice talking to her and that is one toxic and self-loathing inner personality. At first glance this is not my type of story.
