While sitting at the computer this morning, breathing in the daily dose of chemicals prescribed to keep my airways open, I watched two movies.

The first was from the idie film channel, Omeleto, a rom-com titled Help Point and, by the end of it, I was literally LMAO. But don't worry, I'll find it. It's here somewhere.

In the meantime, the link is:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utSlQ0eC1sk. Just be careful.

But, you know, they're typically pretty short clips and my nebulizer was still grumbling away. So I glanced at the sidebar, where they make recommendations based on what you've been viewing or have viewed previously, and chose another which looked, I dunno, kind of familiar.

The thumbnail was a young guy and a young girl and I thought, OK, another rom-com and clicked on it.

But as the clip started, I noticed that the viewing bar below the screen was showing maybe a minute of previous access and I thought, WTF?

And as the clip ran I realized that I had watched it before and had stopped a minute or so in. Because it was about a young guy who had just lost his mom. And I'd known that I couldn't watch it, not then.

But that was then and my machine was still running and I thought, well, there IS young love in it so, maybe this time. And I continued to watch. Watched it to the end. (The link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h21uXo1_Iz4&t=13s.)

And by the time it was over, the machine was through pushing out its medicated vapors, and I literally couldn't see as I made my way downstairs...
