There is reason to celebrate this day, for today is brenda m's birthday! I hope you are having a wonderful birthday weekend. May this year bring an abundance of joy.
It is my daily wish that peace and sanity are restored in our cities and country. Here in the Adirondacks, we see no ICE. The immigrant population is Eastern European, which apparently doesn't present the horrific danger that other ethnic groups bring. Brendon deals with the stress his high school athletes face every day, and it takes a serious toll on him and all around him. Kids don't know if their parents will be there when they get home, and parents won't let the kids out of the house. Every day, a new horror. I am so grateful for those who support each other in their communities. I don't know what it is going to take for the powers that be to say, "Enough is enough," and finally stop the madness.
To top it off, Asshole Neighbor is at it again.
I'm sorry. I see these neighbors and know their deplorable beliefs, but I don't have to deal with direct harassment.
Happy birthday, brenda! I hope Anaheim and Temecula treat you right!
Happy Birthday, brenda! Hope it is super fun and the harbinger of good things to come.
Happy birthday, brenda! I hope it's festive as fuck!
Rainy day in SF. I celebrated the weather by sitting in my window seat, drinking coffee and eating lilac/lemon shortbread.
Lunch will most probably be one of the little plastic tubs I got at Bi-Rite, either the grilled corn salad with kale, or the four bean salad (Note for -t: Green Beans, Black Beans, Kidney Beans, Garbanzo), or the beets with orange and goat cheese.
Go beets. Choose beets.
Who needs Executive Function when you have a chorus of Buffistae to guide you.
If you don’t make your own executive function, store bought is fine. Buffistae recommended where available.
Hey, those are four beans I have available and could assemble into salad! Sweet!
Beets would always be my choice.
Today is Fiona's birthday. I haven't seen her around these parts in quite a while, but I do hope she is doing well and is enjoying her day.
Happy day to Fiona, who always inspires happy thoughts.
Are you ready for a true Halloween horror story?
I was flipping around my streaming options idly wondering if the new Fantastic Four was available yet.
I wasn't curious enough about it to go see it in theaters, but I do like that '62 World's Fair aesthetic and who doesn't like Pedro Pascal?
Up popped the thumbnail for Fantastic Four: First Steps all bright and shiny and I clicked on it.
I start watching the movie and it's not all bright and shiny and Jetsons in Manhattan vibes. It's gloomy and outer boroughs and it's incredibly slow moving. Also, there's this long prelude with other actors playing younger versions of the heroes, that nobody mentioned. I can't help but compare it to the new Superman which opens in the middle of action and goes bam bam bam all the way through to the end.
Then Michael B. Jordan shows up and I realize I'm watching the
bad
Fantastic Four. The worst reviewed superhero movie of all time. The 2015 version.
I don't know what's worse, that I wasted 20 minutes of my life on it, or that it took me that long to figure out what I was watching. Definite sign of cognitive dysfunction.
The horror! (Dag, it really really sucked though. So bad.)
