COVID-19 San Diego Stats | Streaming Watchlist: Drunk Parents | SPLC Weekend Longread for Anti-Racists

Ficus In The Yard Back Before The Heat Dome (Taken 5.12.2020)

Today Darren and Nova took Ficus to Balboa Park, went for a bike ride, played soccer, painted, played guitar together, and read for awhile, too.
I slept.
And when I wasn't sleeping, I was scrolling and reading and catching up with all the rest of the news that I missed this week (Check out Heather Cox Richardson's daily breakdowns.) I think I need to get my sleep back into non-vampire hours, so I'll probably bust out some melatonin and try to sleep like a normal person for once and get back to real life in the morning. Till then, just a couple articles and today's stats, after the jump. 

• Watchlist:
• Drunk Parents - Netflix 
  I needed a dumb comedy. This one has it's moments but also has over-the-top what-else-can-go-wrong 
• The Accident - Hulu
  I've been appreciating these little 4-episode mini-series because they're easy to binge. This show was pretty intense, about several kids injured in an explosion in a small town in South Wales and who is responsible. 
• National Treasure: Kiri - Hulu
  Watching the accident must've triggered the algorithm because one of the main actresses overlaps between the two. This one is about a foster child who goes missing and the investigation to find out what happened. This has a wholly unsatisfying, albeit realistic ending, when the truth is revealed but justice is not.
