What would you rather spend a free Saturday doing

I started this because my winter felt a little stuck, and film seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

I picked Live show, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I would test it for 10 days before deciding.

I picked Album, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. The surprising constraint is probably the real story.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Live show. It seems like the practical answer. I keep a note about cinema for exactly this reason.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Album. It seems like the practical answer. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Live show. It seems like the practical answer. I would love to see a follow-up after 4 weeks.

Live show got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I would test it for 3 days before deciding.

Album got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. For me it came down to the setup.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? This pairs weirdly well with lentil soup.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

I picked Album, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
