Wear, Watch, Want #262: The Sequestered on a Sick Yacht Edition

Wear: Yeti Colster

I love my Yetis, I’m using at least one at any time of day or night, but I didn’t see the appeal of the colsters. Yeti has a weird cultural perception in the prestige water bottle world, and I feel like the colster especially screams, “I have committed vehicular manslaughter with a boat, and I’m running for governor.” All the colsters are clearly for alcohol (ther sizes are basically regular, White Claw, and tall boy), but I’m using mine for Diet Coke and Spindrift. I have two of these things now, and I got both at TJ Maxx for $10 because they were missing the gasket that actually holds the can in the colster. BUT, you can buy the gaskets from Yeti for $5. $25 for a frat bro accessory is a little much for me, but $15 for a continually cold and crisp Diet Coke all summer long?? Throw me my deck shoes and wrap around sunglasses, I’m IN.

Watch: Jury Duty

I had to have multiple sources tell me Jury Duty wasn’t mean before I decided to watch. I cannot handle what I call “Trying Their Best Cinema,” where a character is just trying their best and everything goes wrong (The Money Pit, Meet the Parents, and - controversially! - It’s a Wonderful Life). The premise of Jury Duty is that a documentary crew are following a jury to document the judicial process in America (this is also how we got The Staircase, just FYI) but everyone involved is an actor, apart from one guy, Ronald. See how I could think it was like a huge prank where a poor guy gets put in wacky (aka horrible) situations through no fault of his own?? But not only is Jury Duty not mean, it’s absolutely heartwarming. During the finale I cried. TWICE.

Want: New Medication

“Want” is doing a lot of heavy lifting this week. I don’t want to try a bunch of new arthritis medications (mine stopped working, lololol). It’s not a fun experience, mainly because the way it works is: You try one medication and see if you feel like shit on it, and if you do then you try another one. Rinse. Repeat. For however long it takes to find a medication that works AND doesn’t give you untenable side effects! But I knew things weren’t going well, and it’s not only good to be proven right, it’s also good to, you know, have working joints. So the quest begins (womp womp).
