zaterdag 31 juli 2021 Love, Victor is done. When is Season 3 coming? They left us at a cliffhanger. Hulu switches over to Good Trouble right where I left off. Are Gael and Bryan a thing? Exclusive? Our sexy demi-god Gael is taking selfies to promote his art show.

Nice cool morning in Oberlin. Walking around town while listening to Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC. He's interviewing Beto O’Rourke and Rev. Dr. William J. Barber live in Austin. Hundreds march to Texas Capitol in protest of GOP elections bills. #VotingRights

Lots of college tours. Nice day for a stroll in Tappan Square.

My back aches a lot. Home to rest and watch an old 1963 Italian peplum film - Hercules Against the Mongols - with the mighty Mark Forest in his former glory pitted against the ruthless Mongols.

vrijdag 30 juli 2021 Everyone loves Felix. Gulp! Victor confides in him! When Victor told him he was gay, Felix was slightly surprised, but completely understanding. Watching Love, Victor.

Adore the odd couple relationship between Lake and Felix. They are definitely good for each other. WOO HOO!  💋💋💋 And in episode 2.08 The Morning After, I find out about Swedish Fish... 11 Things You Didn't Know About Swedish Fish.

Enough of the Romance Comedy Drama. Break! Bike towards Elyria. Never make it all the way to Ely Square. Turn around at Russia Road.

There's a Big Foot on the Bike Way. Scary scary scary! 😜

A Progress/Pride flag in my neighborhood. A much welcomed sign to see! Yay! We have too many Trump signs in Ohio.

donderdag 29 juli 2021 Let's visit Pee-Wee's Playhouse! Boys and girls... Today's secret word is subpoena and scream real loud!

Insurrection has consequences. Get Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, Kevin McCarthy, Mo Brooks and Jim Jordan. Why Jim Jordan should probably expect a subpoena from Jan. 6 panel.

UK is reopening and scientists are confused to what's happening. People in Britain are probably more cautious after they reopened. Plus reduced sports events, etc. Il se passe quoi au Royaume-Uni? Resting in bed most of the day. Strong storms passing through Ohio. We need relief from the heat and humidity. The begonias seem happy.

woensdag 28 juli 2021 Pearl Jam! Thanks WTSQ for Nothingman.

Can't wait to see The French Dispatch... Timothée Chalamet as Zeffirelli. [Lucinda Krementz pulls a shower curtain back to reveal Zeffirelli in the bathtub with a towel wrapped around his head] Ah! I'm naked, Ms. Krementz! (I can see that.)

Officer Michael Fanone is on CNN New Day. He hits back hard at Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham who mocked his testimony. Connects Fox rhetoric to Capitol Riot. Is it possible for injured police officers to sue Fox commentators for inciting violence leading up to 1/6 by spreading THE BIG LIE and stop the steal?

Bike up and down the streets. Admire this lush garden on Elm.

Map: Covid cases are rising in the states with low vaccination rates. Check out the link for their interactive maps with data about vaccination rates and the change over the last 4 weeks.

As Covid cases surge, unvaccinated Americans trigger scorn, resentment from many vaccinated people. GRRRR! 😡  Idiots!

dinsdag 27 juli 2021 Midnight movie - MST3K: Untamed Youth. Embrassed for rockabilly musician Eddie Cochran. Was he forced to do that Cotton Picker song? He plays the character Bong. Those two guys seem to be having fun dancing together. Tom Daley's vid of THAT moment! Montage from different perspectives as well! Behold the gold metals and rings! Stephanie cheers for Liz. Capitol riot probe must uncover everything that happened at Trump White House on Jan. 6, Cheney says.

Up to the IGA to get some things. Listening to testimony in DC about The Insurrection on TuneIn on the bikeway. I'm am repulsed by the few Trump/Pence signs still on display in my city. Back home... I'm a hot, sweaty mess, but I want to watch this on TV. Horrible! Distressing! Officer Fanone: I was grabbed, beaten, tased, all while being called a traitor to my country. I was at risk of being stripped of and killed with my own firearm, as I heard chants of 'Kill him with his own gun.' I can still hear those words in my head today. Hoping these testimonies affect change. Peace, please! I need a hug! 😑

maandag 26 juli 2021 Visit Tappan Square. Some people hanging out this warm evening. The Space Vikings! Midnight - a little Lost in Space. Guest star: Sheila Allen (Brynhilda). Hold on, Dr. Smith!

Bravo lads and Team GB! 😄 Tom Daley and Matty Lee win gold in men's synchronized 10m platform. The scores so razor close between GB and China!!! 😬 How overwhelmed Tom and Matty are with emotion! With that, Tom Daley tells LGBTQ youth 'you are not alone'.

Anyone else looking to see if Matty's chest was still red after that waxing? Watch a fun vid from Tom's Daley Diaries. 223K views. It's HOT! Oberlin: 87°F. My poor AC is pooping out. On Fire.

zondag 25 juli 2021 Midnight - Stargate: Universe. I'm glad that Rush killed Simeon. I wanted revenge, too, for all the innocent lives he took. Watch Malice... as thunderstorms rumble outside.

The concept of the Stargate device is brilliant! First appearance: Stargate (1994). Function: Interstellar travel. Watching France 24. Shocking basketball news aux Jeux de Tokyo: FRANCE 93-76 USA. The US will play again. (Don't worry.)

Tunisian swimmer Ahmed Hafnaoui (18) wins a surprise title in 400m.

C'est en France. Story about the Paris Night Life coming back to life. Let's party with those cool people on the river Seine. Oberlin: maily sunny. Hi: 87°F. Light wind. A painter at Mudd Center.

zaterdag 23 juli 2021

zaterdag 23 juli 2021 Les jeux sont faits. Sorry. I missed the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics in Tokyo. Fireworks... La-die-da!

Wow! I have 30 cases of Smirnoff. I don't know what to do with them. COVID '21 be damned! The circus must go on!

Games? Olympics? What games? Watching Lost In Space. Robot???

vrijdag 23 juli 2021

vrijdag 23 juli 2021 Sunrise: 6:16 AM. Good morning, Oberlin.

On this morning, 10 years ago, I woke up to this horrible news. The Norway Terrorist Attacks. I remember. I was shocked.

Right-wing extremist Anders Breivik killed people. Norway mourns 77 slain a decade ago in attack. Norwegians defend democracy. You need to work for it. C'mon, USA! Do the same here. Democracy requires something of us! I survived Norway's worst terror attack.

Ketel 1 gin. Fresh lime juice. Ginger beer. Angostura bitters. Slices of ginger and fresh lime (garnish). Ice. That's how you make a Loki Mule.

donderdag 22 juli 2021 Midnight movie - A Talking Cat!?! Rated 2.2/10 on IMDB. Duffy: Hi. I'm a talking cat.

Can't sleep. Late, late movie - MST3K: Teenagers from Outer Space. Captain: We are the supreme race. We have the supreme weapons. Tom: And we have the supreme pizzas! Poor Derek is accused of treason. He is the son of our leader. The high court will pardon him!

White Noise is in Oberlin with an army of film crew and security. Adam Driver! If you need a shower after a long, hard day's work...

woensdag 21 juli 2021

woensdag 21 juli 2021 Lollacolluda! Nice name for #45. Stephen Colbert Broke His 8-Month Streak of Not Saying Trump's Name. Morning movie - MST3K: The Village of the Giants. Orangey the cat consumes the chemical substance called "Goo" which causes him to grow to gigantic proportions. Love Ronny Howard as Genius!

LAMBDA VARIANT?!? 😳  'Lambda' variant detected as Houston COVID cases, hospitalizations continue to climb, Houston Methodist says.

Silphium asteriscus greet me as I cruise by Old B. The bees are shy.

Oh, Dr. Smith! The monster wants your cosmonium. It wants it now!!!

Watch Lost in Space: Blast Off Into Space. Oh the pain, the pain!

dinsdag 20 juli 2021

dinsdag 20 juli 2021 One Dutch citizen is on Blue Origin - 18-yr-old Oliver Daemen. De Volkskrant: Missie geslaagd: ook Blue Origin vervoert toeristen succesvol richting ruimte. (Mission accomplished: Blue Origin also successfully transports tourists to space.)

Space nerd here!!! Jeff Bezos reaches edge of space, returns safely on Blue Origin's Good Shepard rocket. Bezos: Best day ever! Holy zombie of Jesus! Things got fiery on planet DC. Fauci blasts Rand Paul: 'You do not know what you're talking about' Mad Cow is back in business! The curiosity shop we all know and 💜.

Will Robinson to Intergalactic Control... Ready for liftoff. Watch Lost in Space: A Change of Space.

maandag 19 juli 2021 Where's the empathy? Where's the soul? Livin' in the USA. A new folk, country, blues and rock song plays on WTSQ. After all the soaking rains, it's nice to see clear skies and sunshine. Parts of Oberlin still look swampy. Huge mushrooms are growing in some yards. High 82°F. Humidity 65%. Winds NNW 5 to 10 mph. The flowers in Martin Luther King, Jr. Park look happy.

People are having fun in the summer. The birds are chirping in the trees... But news about the Delta variant is concerning. The Dow tumbles more than 900 points amid pandemic fears. The U.S. is averaging nearly 30,000 new cases a day in the last seven days. In Undervaccinated Arkansas, Covid Upends Life All Over Again.

zondag 18 juli 2021

zondag 18 juli 2021 Let me introduce you to bel ami Gael, character in Good Trouble. Spin-off of The Fosters. We follow Callie and Mariana as they embark on the next phase of their young adult lives in Los Angeles. The Coterie reminds me of the communal house I lived in Seattle back in the 80s. (And toilet paper was an issue.)

zaterdag 17 juli 2021

zaterdag 17 juli 2021 Last night... a Lost in Space marathon. Why does the nefarious Dr. Smith use Will Robinson as protection from danger? He's a rather scrawny kid.

Danger! Behold these 26 weird and wild aliens from 'Lost in Space' Will and Dr. Smith are trapped by the Skunk Cabbage monster. Just in the nick of time, John Robinson rescues them.

Meanwhile, in our solar system... NASA beams back spectacular images of Jupiter and our solar system's biggest moon, Ganymede. I almost expected to see the Monolith to appear there. And in the Pegasus Galaxy... Destiny finds a G2 yellow dwarf sun (similar to Earth's sun) with this paradise planet. Some go down to collect food. However, eleven of them want to stay. They believe that this place is meant to be a life-line... put in their path for a reason. Watch Stargate Universe - Faith. Hal Sparks live on WCPT... I couldn't wait! What is the raison d'être of the Republican Party? Why do you exist? What is your purpose? And if Camus were alive!!! Hunker down for a great show.

vrijdag 16 juli 2021

vrijdag 16 juli 2021 D.A.R.F. = Deny, Attack, Revenge, Fear. On Stephanie Miller: Malcolm Nance talks about the Republican propaganda strategy to reinvent everything that happened last year. When Malcolm Nance speaks, I Listen. As Stephanie often says... American Fascism, we're soaking in it.

Oh, no! Here we go again. L.A. County will require masks indoors amid alarming rise in coronavirus cases. Don't throw away your masks.

Now, I need a drink. A pop-up bar in DC?!? Meet the Toaster! It's a 1965 Caravan Airstream refurbished as a full service bar. Cocktails made from fresh juices. Come to Ohio and toast with me. 😁

Bye bye junk! Mattresses, furniture... GONE! And good riddance!

Thank you, bees, for doing your jobs. Have you seen Adam Driver?
