Reminder

Reminder: If you're a legal US Citizen eligible to vote, please do so today.

If you're not a citizen, ineligible due to age or felony convictions, or long dead, then I'm sure you're eager to vote Democrat and no reminder was needed. My bad for wasting your time.

Venom

The movie itself was ok. What surprised me was just how awful Tom Hardy was in this movie. WtH?

Yum

 

A Beautiful Doggo

 

Slender Man

 Basically, The Ring.

The Spy Who Dumped Me

 McKinnon was a waste of salary, but overall it was ok.

Congrats to Sen. Romney!

 A hearty congratulations to new Utah Senator Mitt Romney!

I don't think so Tim

Currently for sale at a  retail store. (Burlington.) Currently.  As in *2018* not 2013. Good luck getting that $2.99 tho

Jack Benny still holds up

I'm literally LOL and applauding at a Jack Benny radio show where Benny goes off script to mock guest star Jack Warner (of Warner Bros) for flubbing his lines. RIP Jack, you were grand.

D'Oh!

Found the missing car keys - on the back window of that very car. 

An Argument in Class

In my law seminar the professor helpfully compared Republicans to Joe McCarthy and the Salem Witch trial accusers. A bevy of liberal classmates jumped on that train, with one even bragging about her father literally urinating on McCarthy's grave. IDC what politician you are, I can't conceive of pissing on your grave. Disrespectful and boorish. So I opened my mouth, and for the next forty minutes it was heated and uncomfortable. As I got into the elevator afterwards a classmate said "Dude, that was AWESOME!" but it didn't feel "awesome" - it felt like every conservative paranoid fantasy about the liberal academia presented itself at my front door. Ugh, that class SUCKS.

Willie McCovey

RIP to the great Giants slugger. As he was a little before my time I know his name best because of McCovey Cove, the water outside of the Giant's park that became home to many of Barry Bonds' home runs. 

Our New Couch

Before (11 AM) and after (noon).

So I Guess Boston Won the World Series or Something. I Don't Know.

Even when Boston wins it all they wish and pray they were Yankees. Sad, when you think about it. Oh well.  Just under two decades of consecutive WS titles and you'll catch up boys.

Bride of Violence

This sucked. I don't care if it's based on a Lawrence Block story or that he produced it. I don't care that some nutty site found it intellectually rewarding. It SUCKED.

Not feeling great today . .

God's recipe for my day: Find a large imaginary skewer, say the size of a curtain rod. Stab into the right hip. Apply pressure, pushing said skewer completely through the beltline and out the left hip. Attach marionette strings to both ends. Make Dan twist and screech in pain like Pinocchio set aflame. Occasionally ease up, then repeat.

Indeed, I Do

Once again,  I thank God for the Founding Fathers and the 1st Amendment.

Scary

Yesterday I saw several posts, on both Facebook and Instagram, predicting that if the fake mailbombs and migrant caravan didn't get enough attention here in the runup to the election, "they" would arrange a mass shooting. Today, Pittsburgh. I'm genuinely a little bit unnerved.

The Haunting of Hill House

I found this to be a great,  masterfully written horror series. It utterly abandons its source material but still manages to embrace and build upon Jackson's world.  It is a little prone to wordy monologues, and I was mildly disappointed in the finale,  because *SPOILER* it leaves Olivia a twisted,  eternal victim, a child killer without redemption **END SPOILER** but I'd still grade it an A+

Respect Them!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary Dan. Beating the odds through the good bad and ugly and trying to keep our sense of humor while we do it. My biggest laughs have always been with you by my side.  Xoxoxo  - Lisa

This is Great

Good for the Bucks. OTOH the law school perimeter is littered with bird corpses, and it's new enough and expensive enough that the design should have addressed the issue.

The Nun

Lisa and I saw this last night in the theater

. I thought it was wicked good, and genuinely scary. Lisa was less enthusiastic but still liked it.

GusGus you perv! 😂🐱 - Junie
