Whoo Hoo Woo

  


When I went back to college a few years ago I realized something about myself. When I studied at home I needed to go over the same material time after time before it stuck. However, when I was in a classroom and the instructor was teaching a lesson I retained the information. I think it has to do with fear. For the first eight years of my education I was taught by the nuns of have no mercy. They were mean little ladies who patrolled the aisles in their flowing black habits and wore a cross around their waist which was probably used like a ninja star, ready to aim at the naughty boys who couldn't sit still in class. 

Apparently fear is a big motivator. At least for me that seems to be the case. Fear opens up another corridor in my brain. It's like the Squid game in my head. 

Speaking of Squid game, I've seen both seasons and I liked them, the first one more than the second. I've watched a lot of Korean movies and tv series and find many quite entertaining and clever. 

The Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix is a gem. A young woman who has Asperger's syndrome and is obsessed with whales becomes an attorney and struggles to live in a "normal" world.

A few on Prime I've also enjoyed...

Train to Busan 

The Wailing

Night of the Undead

Parasite 

Lots of clever writing, but beware there are many duds where actors are too over the top, and stay away from dubbed movies. Mute the movie and use cc.

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

Image
  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
