woensdag 30 november 2022

woensdag 30 november 2022 White House unveils its holiday decor, including 77 trees and a 'We the People' theme. Bob Cesca: How nice to have normal White House holiday decorations that don't look like Vecna's lair in Stranger Things.
David Pakman: Donald Trump throwing democracy in the toilet and flushing it 10 to 15 times at 2:30 in the morning... Just playing with YouTube on this chilly breezy day. Play this adorable (almost 7-year-old) video... a collaboration of Ricky Dillon with Connor Franta: Ricky Dillon's Loft - FAN ACCOUNTS IN REAL LIFE 2.
How to be killed by a robot in 10,000 horrifying ways... 😳 Read Robopocalypse. The author - Daniel H. Wilson - is so graphic in detail.
Then a movie - Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. John Connor: [voiceover] The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is John Connor, they tried to murder me before I was born, when I was 13 they tried again. Machines from the future. Terminators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming...

dinsdag 29 november 2022 Midnight movie - MST3K: Manos The Hands of Fate... with the tender Torgo peeping scene.
It's 51°F. Bike trek to LPL... wearing my computer mouse t-shirt.
Wow! It's a 5-mile Ride from the Library to Meijer... against the wind. Finally, at home, let's start a new book - Robopocalypse: A Novel - a story about the rise and fall of the machines under the command of a child-like artificial intelligence named Archos.

maandag 28 november 2022

maandag 28 november 2022 Back to the Pegasus Galaxy for more adventures. Watch Stargate Atlantis again. Todd: I believe among your people it is customary to shake hands. Wraith humor. 😆
Something big is brewing. BBC News: Why China's patience finally snapped. People are chanting down with the Chinese Communist Party and step down Xi. This is happening in cities across the country. Blank sheets of paper have become an iconic item during China Covid protests. Many are now referring to the movement as the white paper revolution or the A4 revolution. The white sheets papers are a nod to the denial of free speech and rampant censorship.
It's the conclusion of White Lines. I confess that I enjoyed this edgy, provocative, mystery series... and wild, crazy, beautiful Alex: We didn't come to Ibiza for the money. We came here for the music... for the freedom. Do I look free to you?
After the violent and bloody ending of that series, I need something light-hearted to watch. How 'bout MST3K: Killer Fish... and bubbles!

zondag 27 november 2022 Michigan spoils OSU’s unbeaten season, 45-23. Oh, the dejection and pain. Their misery is my happy place.
Continue watching White Lines. Theory: Alex is on a path to self-destruction. He seems determined to kill himself, but who's going to stop him? Some nights are so big... that you'll never recover.
What else is there to watch on a miserable, cold and rainy day? Outrageousness! MST3K: Horrors of Spider Island.
Don't forget... Spiders are our friends. They are essential to the ecosystem. Biodiversity is very important, folks!

zaterdag 26 november 2022 35°F?!? Warm up when it's cold outside! Let's play Mixed Up Everything... These lovely Aussie dudes sing Shine in the sunshine with the beach right behind them. 😊
Tom Servo: So, these three are all majoring in Boggy Creek Studies? Watch MST3K: Boggy Creek II: The Legend Continues. Everyone mercilessly mocks Tim. [Shirtless Tim walks up to someone's front door.] Crow [as Tim]: Can I borrow a cup of shirt?
Things are warming up nicely. Out for a couple bike rides. The only problem... Drivers - in too many cars - are reckless.
The Ohio State Buckeyes vs Michigan Wolverines. This is the reason that people are franticly driving around... shopping for football supplies. Things get nasty. Pushing and shoving! Let them fight!!
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special!! 😃 Glad to see Groot and the gang back in action. (Kevin Bacon plays himself.)

vrijdag 25 november 2022 Our Thanksgiving did not exploded. Wellington, Ohio is still all there. However, my poor mom spent the day at Mercy Hospital dealing with hypertension. Some family joined me to watch the Buffalo Bills vs Detroit Lions. Good game. Alex Anzalone! Tied at 25 to 25! Was it going into overtime? No!! The Bills score a field goal at the last minute!!
Bike up to Lakeview. I love this blue space... the waves rolling in.

At last, the horrible horror movie Santo and Dracula's Treasure.

woensdag 23 november 2022

woensdag 23 november 2022 Germany's players cover their mouths as they pose for a team photo before their match against Japan at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. It wasn’t about making a political statement. Human rights are non-negotiable. That should be taken for granted, but it still isn’t the case. That’s why their message is really important. The prohibition of the armband is the same as denying them a voice. FIFA World Cup!?!
Watch White Lines - a British-Spanish mystery thriller TV series.
Okay, Derk Slurp... you insane 21-year-old video-maker!!! Tom Hardy is okay, but I wanna Tom Holland pillow to hold, please.

dinsdag 22 november 2022 Fascinating! Two guys in the jungles of Cambodia use primitive tools to dig a swimming pool and build a secret underground home. COOL! Watch Primitive Unique Tool: 90 Days Build Underground Hut with Grass Roof and Swimming Pool with Waterslide.
Seattle-Tacoma Intl Airport is busy with travelers. I have friends flying in and out for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Typical NW weather: rainy and breezy. Pre-booked parking is taken at Sea-Tac for Thanksgiving. There are alternatives. Link Light Rail is pulling into the station.
Turn on Stephanie Miller. More details on the Colorado Springs shooting and the shooter. Five people were murdered in Colorado Springs, several injured. What are we doing to each other? 💔 I'M SICK OF FEELING LIKE I LIVE IN A WORLD THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
TODAY IN Star Trek HISTORY: November 22, 1996. Star Trek: First Contact debuts in the United States. 26 years? How could that even be? I remember watching it at premier night in the cinema.
Wow! What a beautiful sunny day in November. Happy to be outside.

maandag 21 november 2022 Complicate this world you wrapped for me. I'm acquainted with your suffering. And all your weight. It falls on me, it brings me down. Collective Soul - Heavy.
Almost Seven Feet Of Snow Hits Western New York. That's incredible! And Winter hasn't even begun yet officially. Perfect. Try your skills at "snow swimming" like these guys. On ABC 7 Chicago. People in Chicago's Andersonville took a moment of silence for the victims in the Colorado Springs mass shooting. Heavy hearts on Transgender Day of Remembrance in Chicago after mass shooting at LGBTQ+ club. Alderman Andre Vasquez: This is not only a day of remembrance, it's a day of resilience and it's a day of saying even when we're under attack, we fight back.
It's starts off at a chilly 25°F, but the sun is strong and warms things up quickly to 45°F. Lamppost in the Williamsburg neighborhood.
Wow! Four years ago, on this day (2018), I got my first SSI payment.
A blast from the past!!! Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. I saw this movie in a real theater 33 years ago (June 9, 1989). Pain - It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. The Vulcan Sybok takes the Enterprise to search for God but instead finds a devil.

zondag 20 november 2022 Astral travel to the warm, sunny beaches of Australia. Blurry is a classic, and these guys play it really well. Thanks MUE!!! Blessings to Todd, Blake, Koby, and Kevin. Cleveland is getting tons of snow. It's quiet in my town. Hello Hercules, son of Zeus. Watch MST3K: Hercules and the Captive Women. No, Herc! Don't drink that wine! Antinea, the evil queen of Atlantis, captures our buff hero. Do not worry because Herc escapes.
Crow T. Robot: When Atlantis fell, Allstate was there. Oh, Atlantis!
Cold. Cold. (FEELS LIKE 13°F) Went outside for a total of 8 minutes.
Brandon Wolf (Orlando Pulse survivor): Oh god. My heart is broken and I’m transported right back. At least 5 killed after gunman opens fire at LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs. ❤️ to Colordo Springs. 🌈.
Brandon on the Sunday Show: This is a community that's been traumatized, we've been demeaned, we've been dehumanized...We've been begging for people to take this rhetoric seriously.
Predictable of me, I need to escape hateful Americans armed with guns... Let's go to the space-traveling city of Alpha in Luc Besson's fantasy film, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. In a little kerfuffle on Kirian, Valerian's shirt is ripped. Oh, no!
Our handsome hero finds the Mül converter and an energy pearl.

zaterdag 19 november 2022 Midnight movie - Dune (2021). Lost connection with the server after 3:43 minutes. Frustration. 😖
