Wednesday: 11:07
Thursday: 21:52 (but distracted by X-Files)

Last night's X-Files was a fun one. Reminded me quite a bit of Black Mirror, but with a more humorous spin. Mulder and Scully are tormented by their smart phones/homes/cars and an army of drones after declining a tip at an automated sushi place.  The interesting thing is that there is almost zero dialogue. Mulder and Scully are apart for much of the episode. As that makes the show very visual, it distracted me from the crossword. But there's a deeper subtext too. That our technology, which promises to keep us connected, actually alienates us from each other. You can learn and grow so much more from a conversation than another BuzzFeed listicle.
