Thingy

  Yeah, maybe not any longer after watching a horror movie which was filmed IN MY LIBRARY! A few years ago I had heard our street was going to be closed off for a few hours because some filmmakers were in town. I then discovered it was going to be some religious, enlightening movie, so I completely dismissed it, then forgot about it. But, last night, after the usual bout of insomnia, I got curious and googled to see if anything came of it. What I found was, 'What Happened to Dorothy Bell?'  Well, let me tell you- nothing good. There's references to religion but not the good stuff. Jesus must have left the building. So, I watched this movie at 2am, alone- in the dark, where nothing good happens after midnight. I won't give away the plot, but it's actually a fairly decent movie which I found on Tubi. It's not bloody gory, but has the low budget props, except for one scene which is all human and pretty darn powerful. It has an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. The majority o...

  I can only think of one time when I engaged in a sport whilst high. It was a family reunion type deal where everything was going swell. Soon, the kids and elders left and it was just the hipsters who decided to play badminton. I don't know when we noticed it was one am and pitch black. We were having too much fun. Honestly, it probably would have been fun without the weed enhancement - which brings me to this 👇 I do believe it's called the Enhancement Games because the athletes are allowed to ingest drugs. I'm not sure Mom and Dad would approve, I dunno. But, hey, if you want to ingest drugs to improve your chances of being number one, who am I to be a Karen? Just don't expect anyone to take you seriously.  I truly do not understand how a drug can make your body go faster. Maybe the drug just takes away the pain so that you can push your body harder. I've never really thought about drugs in the sporting world. We know they're there, but, is it wrong? The thin...

  Before I begin this completely unrelated story, or maybe it isn't. Thank-you for your service, dead soldiers. I'm sort of glad you're not here to see this. You fought bravely and honorably. Rest in peace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok, I've noticed these adorable little robots out on the street and feel sad. Sad because they'll never be able to exist in this country. Sometimes, I watch YouTube videos of a dude who just walks around Japan. It's quite beautiful and relaxing. As we walk together I notice people leave out little Buddhas or trinkets in gardens where there are shrines. Sometimes we walk past little shops where beautiful pottery and gorgeous lanterns decorate the storefront. The only thing I think, after I think, "So cute," is, "That would be gone in five seconds, here." Here, being the US. We really can't have nice things because people take them. There was a local story in the news about a nursery who leaves blooming plants and flow...

   Happy birthday, Bob. I was going to say that you don't know me, but you do. You see things in me and others we didn't know was there. I think there are some people born on this planet who know exactly what they were destined for, they go into the tunnel and come out with magic.  I must confess when I was a girl, a very long time ago, I preferred James and Carole. I didn't get you.  And then one day, I was at a party and I heard a beautiful voice, a woman was sitting on the floor in the crowded living room, playing her guitar and singing, ' Boots of Spanish Leather .' I cannot explain how much it moved me. If you know, you know. And then I went a bit, "Annie Wilkes," for awhile. I listened to everything, went to concerts alone because no one would come with me to listen to you. Their loss. People think you're weird. I suppose you are, because you don't fit in the box of building blocks.  I'm going to confess that when your physical body is n...

  😬 I consider myself an avid reader. Having noted that, there are very few books I have read from The Guardian's best 100 books of all time. My list is less than a dozen, even counting a few I started and never finished. 174 prominent writers participated in creating brain food for your pleasure. They each contributed ten of their favorite reads and someone somewhere somehow tabulated the favorites. Without further ado, the number one book of all time is ...... Middlemarch. The fucking hell it is. Lol. Like art, what you like is subjective. Some people believe Manga is good stuff. Others prefer historical novels, blah, blah, blah. I suppose the list is supposed to be taken more seriously because actual writers who make a living writing books have listed what they deemed the best read. I'm not a writer. I suppose like a musician who reads notes, understands the structure, the form, the timbre, they can recognize the whole. I just want a book that will entertain me and not try...

  It's over. Michael Wolff's lawsuit against Melania has been struck down as frivolous, silly behavior by a Trump appointed judge. Since when is an anti-slapp lawsuit frivolous? What's the point of having these lawsuits in place if you can't actually use them. Wolff had every right to sue Trump's contracted consort because she threatened him. Naturally, Melania's lawyers have claimed victory. The bullies got their way. Of course they did. Again, a Trump supporting judge was never going to allow the lawsuit to continue. She took all this time to sit on it just to make it look like she considered it at all. Nah. We now know how the world works. She's giving favors for being allowed to use the court of law to thank Trump. Melania is still sticking to her claim she and Epstein were just passing acquaintances who would simply be at the same parties. In the beginning when I joined in the GoFundMe request to raise the necessary funds to stop these vile wretches fr...
