For the birds (not the Pixar short)

So last year there was this crazy bird that kept running into my living room top window and I think it's back again.  I can't see it but I can hear it hit the glass repeatedly and I am not sure if it's because it thinks there is another bird, it wants to come inside or it's trying to land on the little ledge of the window and completely sucks at landing? I wonder if it went away for the winter and now it's back since its Spring time perhaps? But why would you keep hitting it week-after-week, month-after-month and not come to the conclusion, maybe you should find a different spot to hang out!  I guess there is something to saying "bird brain" meaning their brains are so small they can't comprehend but then wouldn't one assume the brain is relative to the size of the creature?  If a bird is super smart, their brain wouldn't be their entire body size and some kind of super-villain looking creature. (stock image, not of actual bird... but it is a gorgeous looking bird!)

Weekly Update:
Building things is hard... so I am trying to put together an Mouse Droid, or MSE-6 series repair droid that was first seen in the movie "Star Wars: A New Hope."  This little guy is cute and was hoping be an easy build but getting the needed parts has been a challenge.  I have the shell and the tires, and a controller but there is so much more needed.  The bits on the outside, the frame inside, gears, motors, and other odds and ends.  Hopefully the end goal is to have this little sucker so I can race it around and just have fun with it.  Maybe I can graduate to a bigger droid in the future but just doing this one is already taken up enough time and effort!  We'll have to wait and see.

At the movies:
Holding ground at #1, "The Bad Guys" with an extra 16.1 mill as it closes in at the 50 mil mark and should get there in a few days.  Also holding at #2 is "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" earning another 11.4 mil as it continues to make way to 200 mil cume, could eventually get there but after a long crawl.  At #3 is "Fantastic Beast: The Secrets of Dumbledore" catching another 8.3 mil but still short of 100 mil.  Looks like it will get there but will be awhile.  Holding at #4 is "The Northman" with 6.3 mil extra and didn't suffer a big drop.  Bumping up to #5 is "Everything Everywhere All at Once" with 5.5 mil and should be wrapping up soon.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week, coming in at #8 is Memory earning only 3.1 mil with a substantial wide release.  This one will disappear quickly.
