  • I’ve begun watching & falling in love with something very recently that I think will fall into this category for sure. An old adult swim cartoon called Home Movies.

    Made by a lot of the same talent before Bob’s Burgers was a thing, the humour is actually insanely clever and progressive for it’s time & it still feels fresh to me watching it today. Definitely have already had a few laughing fits where I had to pause the episode for a while to catch my breath and I’m only 4 episodes in 😂

    For being a simpler sort of design, it also has some good background gags too. Not to mention the comedian guest stars – Episode 3 had Emo Philips which was a delightful surprise, but episode 4 has freakin’ Mitch Hedberg in it! Took me by surprise for sure but it was also a nice little extra thing to hear him say some fresh lines.

    That’s all I have to say about it for now, but every night now my partner & I look forward to watching a couple episodes before bed :) it’s a great time!




  • For all other nothing enjoyers, I’d heartily recommend Niagara launcher. I can count on one hand how many apps I’ve paid for the premium version, and it’s worth every penny. My home screen is de-cluttered as fuck, and all it takes is a simple swipe up or down the left/right side of the screen to pull up an A-Z app list, where you can find any app you’re looking for in under like 2 seconds tops. No buttons, no typing, no bullshit.

    Can keep as many or as little apps on the home screen that you like, although it removes the multi-window option completely, which makes using widgets a little more challenging if you use a lot of them. You can have a “widget stack” you can swipe between on the home screen that only holds 4 widgets max (although you can nest more stacks elsewhere) but since I only need a calendar and notes, that’s more than enough for me.

    I absolutely hate how cluttered Android phones have always been. Used Nova for a while to have my frequent apps available in the app drawer where my thumbs could reach them; now I’ll never switch away from Niagara. Has a free version, so try it out and see if you like it!
