This is not going to be a typical post. My allergies are killing me, I have a monster headache, and I just didn't have the bandwidth to watch a movie today. So I watched a comedy special on Netflix.
Patton Oswalt is one of my favorite comedians. I have enjoyed every single one of his stand up shows and I love seeing him in cameos in movies and TV shows. I just really like that dude.
This special was filmed in 2019, before all this craziness happened. He talks about buying a house, getting remarried, turning 50, and the dark immutability of Denny's. It's an hour and six minutes of cynicism-touched happiness and it's totally worth it.
It also leads into a second comedy special by somebody named Bob Rubin, who I have never heard of but who is apparently a well-regarded figure by Oswalt and other comedians. I didn't (again) have the bandwidth for anyone or anything longer than 66 minutes so I didn't watch it. Maybe I will later, I don't know. Today was not the day.
