Happy 23rd wedding anniversary Dan. I love you!  - Lisa

YaYa's 18th Birthday Cake!

Happy 18th!

This little bald wonder of mine turns *18* today, and cliche or not it seems like only yesterday that I first laid eyes on her. If I had to do it all over again, the good and the bad, I'd turn to God and thank him for letting me experience it all again. We love you more than lips can tell YaYa/Grace/Gracie/Caillou Andromeda. Sto lot, and 143 forever.

This Netflix movie was lame, dull, unimaginative, and about as scary as a kitten calendar.  If you havent seen it - dont.

It Does

What can I say? #SexSells

Proof. But not of what they think.

People always hold discoveries like this up to be sad "proof" of global warming. In fact, they are proof humans once freely lived in lands that, in modern centuries, have been snow and ice covered - and only now are those lands returning to that "norm." Thus proving the Earth's climate ebbs and flows and doesn't give one tinker's dam about Al Gore and dear young Greta.

Homemade Rubber Stamps

Smiley's new past time is creating his own stamps. I played with some tonight. In the collection so far is two types of fish, a heart, broken heart, and his monogram.

Yup

Sorry whiners. The ref got it right

Joker

I finally saw Joker. It's grim and hopeless and full of emotional pain and my word it was good. Joaquin Phoenix is a spectacular Joker. If you want me to rank them, I still prefer Heath, but it's no landslide victory.  

I'm no conspiracy nut but I felt a lot of the dire warnings that preceded Joker's release stemmed from Marvel/Disney using its media clout to try and bury a DC masterpiece. 

I saw nothing in the film that encouraged or condoned violence. Arthur was a damaged man, mentally and physically, and an unreliable narrator. His actions are fruit of that poisoned tree, and SPOILER the mob he inspires uses his image as an excuse for mayhem, not inspiration. END SPOILER

I dont even buy the film as an example of class struggle. It wasn't rich vs poor. It was chaos vs order. The chaos of a pre-Guilanni Gotham/NYC where crime was accepted as the norm, where filth and grime were the decor of the day, where hope was absent. The Joker is that chaos; his future enemy, young Mr Wayne, is the balm of order and respect.

It's a great film, certainly better than anything the MCU has or will create. Go see it.

LOL. But This.

Goodbye Fritz's :sob:

Curse you Lisa, curse you for denying me Fritz's yesterday!

Welcome to the Midwest!

Huh. I guess climate change pushed Oklahoma into the Midwest.  #NewsToMe #TheMediaIsInfallible  #EitherLearnGeographyorGetAnEditorEitherOr

Ouch.

I can't say they're wrong.

Good on Ellen

New Specs

LuLu i got her first ever pair of glasses yesterday evening.

Ad Astra

I saw this movie Sunday night and I left the theater in awe. The Heart of Darkness set in a realistic space industry of the near future, it is visually stunning, intellectually engaging, and not without some horror and action along the way. And Brad Pitt's performance: WOW.

Stormy Weather

Just lost power in the storm. (7:10 am)

A Mammoth Disappointment

I'm majorly disappointed with Open Doors Milwaukee. Smiley, Junie,and I went to Central library downtown, where we were handed a flyer detailing the tour . . . then told sorry, there are no tours offered today. Maybe 30 people wandered the lobby  bewildered and directionless. We then walked in the rain to the museum across the street, which someone said was part of the event; nope. So we lingered in the lobby there and, granted, had a hoot looking at the mammoth skeleton. But overall? Boo!

A Pet Peeve

I always wonder why people start a post with "delete if not allowed." Uh, thanks for your permission to maintain the site rules?? Lol
