dinsdag 31 augustus 2021 He's All That is my midnight movie. The character Cameron Kweller (played by Tanner Buchanan) is interesting. Fantastic fight scene, dude! I like the horses, too.

The end of The Forever War. What future awaits the Afghan people? Stability? Disaster? Up with Democracy Now: Peace Activist Kathy Kelly on Reparations for Afghanistan & What the U.S. Owes After Decades of War. War Is Not Over When It’s Over.

France 24: La Nouvelle-Orléans était entièrement privée d'électricité dimanche soir, quelques heures après l'arrivée de l'ouragan Ida en Louisiane. Ida, "extrêmement dangereux"

Search #OuraganIda on Twitter. Reports in French. View from the ISS. From space, it's looks more impressive. L'œil de l'ouragan Ida.

France 24: la Louisiane se prépare à l'ouragan Ida. Exactly 16 years after Katrina, this hurricane hits Louisiana. We're getting those pesky pop-up storms in Oberlin. Feeling sorry for the people in Louisiana. No electricity for days!?! More storm news.

Louisianans are drinking Hurricanes. Yep. Go get yurselves sloshed. I'm sipping a vodka and cranberry... while I watch Blazing Saddles. What's a dazzling urbanite like you doing in a rustic place like this?

zaterdag 28 augustus 2021 Midnight movie - MST3K: City Limits. Best cameo appearance by Michael J. Nelson. He plays Morrissey.

Interesting chalk drawing on our sidewalk. The kids have been fairly creative lately. Is it the symbol for the Phoenix Squadron?

Is it the cover art for the Audioslave album? The eternal flame!

Thousands expected in Washington, D.C., to march for voting rights. Six permitted rallies and protests are taking place in the city, mostly along the National Mall. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser lead people in a chant: Free D.C.! Food, fun, giveaways, and COVID-19 vaccines.

Keeping track of Hurricane Ida... heading right towards my nephew.

Another hot, humid day in Oberlin. High 88°F. Let's stay inside. The Dollar General is almost out of beer. Didya hear? There’s a new Spider-Man: No Way Home teaser trailer! (19,018,640 views on YouTube.) The Multiverse thing can be pesky problem. Done with #410 of SWR - Jedi Night. Long live Phoenix Squadron!

vrijdag 27 augustus 2021 Morning movie - MST3K: Fugitive Alien.

Physics with Futurama by Dylan J. Dance. Farnsworth has the funniest lines! Professor Farnsworth: Good news, everyone. We'll be making a delivery to Stumbos-4, a planet with such high gravity that you'll most likley be crushed under the weight of our own hair. Enjoy! Yay! A physics teacher with sexy legs. Touch the monolith! YES!! 😄 Yavin 4: the base for the Rebel Alliance. The violence and extremism of Saw Gerrera. Discovering the Empire's secret weapon. Ezra and Chopper. Good at infiltrating Imperial bases. A lot is going on in 4!!

Old RT video (2012) about crazy Russian daredevils doing urban climbing. Wondering if crazy American youths are doing the same thing.

donderdag 26 augustus 2021 Rachel Maddow reports on the vast range of documents being sought by the House Select Committee on the January 6th Attack, a sign that the committee intends to get real answers, and why some members of Trumpworld and the Republican Party are right to feel anxious. Get Jim Jordan! Morning movie - MST3K: Rocket Attack USA. Poor, lost, blind guy.

Play Show Me How To Live by Audioslave (2003) for Throwback Thursday. I adore Chris Cornell! I just wish I could hug this lovely man.

To be serious... (Oh, no.) Chris Cornell had a sense of humanity. He understood there's war, violence and rescues all over the world. Refugees from Afghanistan need a new home now. In the spirit of Chris' compassion, let's help. Play The Promise.

Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA, and former Marine) joins Stephanie Miller to talk about how Biden’s tough decision to get out of Afghanistan was the right one. I really like Jake. Great guest!

A friend in B'ham told me his father is visiting for a couple of weeks. Will there be a lightsaber duel? I hope not.

woensdag 25 augustus 2021 A thunder storm wakes me up. Outside to breathe some fresh air. Watching flashes of lightning in the distance.

So weary all the time. Yes! Sing it, Etta James!  Stormy Weather.  Don't know why. There's no sun up in the sky. Stormy Weather.

Oberlin weather: Thunderstorms. Storms may contain strong gusty winds. YES! 😀 High near 85°F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Don't change the world (weather) for me. Black hole sun, won't you come? And wash away the rain?

dinsdag 24 augustus 2021

dinsdag 24 augustus 2021 Sex Education is a hilarious, heart-warming and inclusive series. Feeling the theme of poet Pablo Neruda through the show. Eric's New Love Interest On 'Sex Education' Is Way Too Cool For School.  Rahim quotes from one of the love poems while riding next to Eric on the ferris wheel. ...Love should save us from life.

Then... the thrilling third season of Star Wars Rebels! The Empire is grimly and seriously determined to destroy the Rebellion. People don't like Fair Districts?!? WEWS 5 News: Ohio Redistricting Commission holds first hearing in Cleveland a week ahead of deadline for new maps. This has been an embarrassment for Ohio for 10 years.

Moonset: 8:52 AM. Sunrise: 6:48 AM. Oberlin weather: Sunshine and a few clouds. High near 90°F. Winds light and variable. Out before sunrise to shop for a few things at Walmart. The full moon is showing in the west. Fun to hear The Killers during my outing. 💙 WTSQ! Incredible. The humidity is 90%. By 9:00 AM, it's already 73°F. Mercy!

It gets so hot today that I want to hang out in the Wampa's ice cave with Luke Skywalker. Is that wrong? Temp: 90°F.

maandag 23 augustus 2021

maandag 23 augustus 2021 Ezra has a new lightsaber. Learning Force skills from a Sith Holocron. Shorter hair. Is this really Ezra?

Incredible to think that our Padawan is being tempted by the dark side. Switch to something more light-hearted last night - MST3K: Catalina Caper. Tom Servo is kissing Tommy Kirk!?! Or Creepy Girl!?!

Turn on CBS News. The House gets back to business today. We need the Infrastructure Bill to pass! It will create 2 million jobs a year for the next ten years. The American Families Plan will make key investments in daycare, healthcare and climate change. I am pessimistic, however. Yesterday, I saw five wasps hanging together just inside my window. The spiders don't seem to be a deterrent at all. Grass spiders don't make very strong webs. When I closed my window, everyone hurried away. I was hoping to see a war here... like on YouTube.

zondag 22 augustus 2021

zondag 22 augustus 2021 Flash! Ah-ah. Saviour of the universe. Flash! Ah-ah. He'll save every one of us! I felt like a kid again when I watched this movie last night. Flash Gordan. Violence, gore, great acting.

Turn on WNBC News. They're tracking the eye of the storm. Wicked big stawm comin'! All that rain! Henri makes landfall on Rhode Island as threat grows of storm surge, inland flooding.

Starting the second season of Sex Education. Amazing stuff!! Love the romantic songs they play... like The Promise by When in Rome.

zaterdag 21 augustus 2021

zaterdag 21 augustus 2021 Chopper is a pluckey little droid. It served the Republic Navy as a navigational astromech. Bravo! Cheers!

Commander Sato and the Ghost Crew study the intel for their next strike against the Empire. Continue watching Star Wars: Rebels.

Why are the media piling on Biden? SERIOUSLY!?! HuffPo: Hawks on Afghanistan. Just three more months. Just three more months. NO WAY!! Very proud of our Democrats & Pres. Biden ending this never ending war. Wish the media would be on the Democrats' side.

Change of scenery. Turn on Classical KING FM 98.1 for my bike ride out to the country. The Great - Symphony No. 9 by Franz Schubert - plays while admiring nature. Dresden State Orchestra... well done!

Trump rally in Cullman, AL tonight. Super-spreader COVID event... while Alabama is being crushed by a COVID crisis.

Ready for 45, AL?!? It'll be hot and humid. I hope Trump melts.

vrijdag 20 augustus 2021  MST3K: Boggy Creek II. Tim!

Otis Milburn IS the best! Sex Education. He always says the right thing. It's sad but true. Ohio is experiencing a new COVID-19 surge. All but 2 Ohio counties have high spread. Vaccine status: 50.95% of Ohio is vaccinated. We can do better than that. C'mon! 😑

Oberlin is very bike-friendly with all the bike-racks and bike paths. Construction Bike Parking.

Bike to shop. Bike to home. Bike for fun. Bike to class.

Bike out to the country. Always wondered about this big Christian cross at 45440 Butternut Ridge Rd. It's at the entrance for the Christian Missionary Alliance. Are they gay-friendly?

donderdag 19 augustus 2021

donderdag 19 augustus 2021 À Cause des Garçons. HEY! It's throwback Thursday. Dance tectonic! De quel plan tu causes? Trying to think cool thoughts on a hot day. Tignes, France is cool! Turn on Here and Now. WBUR - Boston's NPR station - is doing interviews with veterans in Congress who fought in Afghanistan. Everyone is still talking about it. Congressman Jake Auchincloss represents Massachusetts Fourth District. He served in the Marine Corps, commanding infantry in Helmand Province in 2012. Talking Afghanistan With Congressman Jake Auchincloss.

Sweaty! Tired from a 8-mile bike ride. It's 81°F in Oberlin. What was I doing 9 years ago in cool Seattle? Well... Mike Looks Back.

Home to sit in front of the AC and watch Star Wars Rebels. In The Call, we find sentient creatures in outer space called Purrgil. Our heroes - Kanan and Ezra - are deflecting blasts from Rodian guards.
