Trying to catch up on movies I've missed through the years. Anthropoid was heart-wrenching and amazing. I hope it doesn't come to that in this country...

Babygirl was a strange movie, but it was a master class in acting from Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas.

Got out the electric chainsaw and cut up a fallen tree in the backyard. Sim is threatening to slit my throat if I don't stop singing the Monty Python Lumberjack song.

Dude showed up to fix our refrigerator and in the course of the conversation, told me he was convinced, "the vaccine gave me diabetes." He about 5'6" tall and weighed between 300 and 325.

Whew... Nosferatu's no "The Godfather" or "Citizen Kane," but it's a solid 8 out of 10.

Still reading James Joyce's Ulysses. Started in 1980. On page 312--that means I made it though 23 pages in 2024. I don't have a fucking clue what I'm reading anymore, but I don't think Joyce had a fucking clue what he was writing, either.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to quit drinking which is the perfect excuse for tonight. I'll have to find another excuse for tomorrow.

Denzel saved Gladiator II. If it weren't for his performance, it'd just be a CGI festival.

Somebody just told me, "It is what it is..."
I've always believed that it is what it isn't and that it won't be what it will be until it is.
So don't pull that stuff on me.

The guy who sells cars that explode wants to abolish the Consumer Protection Bureau.

I've been looking for this for 30 years - I hope it's as good as I remember it being.

To all the people who say "price point" when they mean "price," stop it.

Still have an "entertainment center" but Sim's had enough of it, so she wants it gone and replaced by a big screen TV and a console table. I have the Modern Library's Top 100 Novels of the 20th Century in there and don't know where to put them. Evidently, people no longer keep books out in the open?

I really struggled with a scene in this new novel last night and gave up in frustration. This morning when I came into the office, I found the "A" from the keyboard under my desk. It might have been a little more than frustration.

I have to admit, after seeing how the HWA ignored authors in this DarkLit fiasco, I'm having second thoughts...
