"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, are people coming together to figure out how to keep Todd's blog and other creative work up, so some part of his voice will still be present?

I have talked about it with Greta who is in touch with his wife. We'll figure something out. Some central archive. He did a lot! He had a movie podcast, a radio show, his movie blog.

Also, potential roommates who will not wear masks while they're seeing the place are no potential roommates of mine.

Well at least there’s a start of an easy way to cut down the options!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Shir, if that man told me there was a sandstorm, I'd open the door and check.

Oh, yes, 500% that. I got so used to think of his words as lies that every now and then I find myself surprised that he's not lying all of the time. However, in this case, his re-election really depends on it. He's got nothing else to offer (I'm you're not after entitled rabid version of nationalism he's selling and thinking that only Jews should live here and have equal rights). And it was published today that five million more vaccines are on their way because we're now a data lab for vaccine research, so I'm kind of positive about this. Or, put if differently: I think there are good chances that might not be a lie, and that by May most of this country will be vaccinated.

And I may hug my mom and friends again in 4-5 months. Maybe.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry about your friend, David.

What is even happening?

In a little bit, Hec is firing up the DVD player so we can watch a Wes Anderson movie
The movie was Isle of Dogs, which Matilda and I saw in theaters, but JZ had never seen.

It was better on second watch for me but was a little uncomfortable at times because:

1. A major plot point is that the good guy characters at one point run forward to protest a stolen election and proclaim a revolution;

2. Much of the story revolves around a plague and creating a new cure for it.

I'm watching that on MSNBC, except the bad guy characters are lying that a free and fair election has been stolen, and they invaded the US Capitol, looking to kidnap and murder the top people in the line of succession. They had zip ties, napalm, guns, pipe bombs, tear gas, and even built a gallows.

Must be a sequel.

The makeup and costuming in your version is terrible, Cindy

And the lighting, -t. The lead villain looks orange on my screen.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I got a diagnosis of ADHD today. Huh. That explains a lot.
