I bought a guitar today. I was so angry about all those lessons I took in the 80s that never taught me anything but a few powerchords. So I quit and decided I'd never play again.

Now I have a hankering to play some Woody Guthrie and maybe some 70s tunes and it's going well.

Watched 25 movies in May: 7 re-watches, 18 first times. Red May inspired some selections and caught 7 screenings at SIFF.

Best Firsts: THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS, THE WORKING CLASS GOES TO HEAVEN, PAYING FOR IT, SONS, THE NEW YOUR THAT NEVER CAME.

And I always enjoy rewatching RUNNING ON EMPTY.

Not only did I get to see Gang of Four preform Entertainment! But I also was able to meet Jon King and Hugo Burnham after the show. They are absolutely wonderful and courageous Humans.

Saw one of the best shows last night; Gang of Four’s final tour. They sounded fantastic and refused to be apolitical. We all need to follow their example.

Beverly Hills Cop. This series is still pretty fun, but I haven't seen the new installment.

I'll say the Frisco Kid because it would be wrong to claim that the conversation is a Harrison Ford movie.

Watched a few movies in March. Best firsts were PERSONALITY CRISIS, BLACK BAG, DEATH AND THE MAIDEN, & RACING THE MOON. Also slowly getting back in the habit of a weekly trip to the cinema.

Starting the day by turning off the news and listening to music I love. The Revolution can wait until after breakfast.

Both bands I wouldn’t know if not for digging through records crates and picking up stuff based on ‘huh, that looks interesting’.

I the family records collection is a bit all over the place, but there are plenty of unexpected gems.

The cover for Roy Clark Superpicker cracks me up.

My parents despite not liking disco, held the belief that it’s all better with a disco beat. There’s 3 vols of hooked on classics.

After listening to news for 2 hours, it’s time for gunfighter ballads. From my mother’s record collection.

Was at the #standupforscience rally all day yesterday. It was encouraging to see so many scientists and hear our stories.

I recently sold my parents’ house and moved my mom to assisted living as a result I have acquired so much vinyl to enjoy. Some way before my time.

This is Scout. She’s perfect in every way, but sometimes forgets which end goes in the litter box.

Discovered a light 'eat-the-rich' trifle to distract from reality for 90min on HULU.

Almost forgot to share the list of the movie viewed in December.

16 first time, 6 rewatches. 6 in the cinema.

Fav 1st - BABYGIRL & ANORA are fantastic!

Hosted a NYE event showing VELVET GOLDMINE & TALENTED MR RIPLEY and both films are just amazing.
