zaterdag 30 september 2017 Up at 1:54 AM. Watch Rogue One. Oy! I get a little space sick as the scenes shift quickly - from the Outer Rim planet Lah'mu to Yavin 4, the Ring of Kafrene, the Imperial prison planet Wobani, the Empire-occupied moon of Jedha, the kyber refinery planet of Eadu and at last Scarif for the great Battle of Scarif. Allen is a little critical of the battle. A new Star Wars story. Sith Lord Vladimir Putin steps out of the shadows... Турболасерс готов, господин!

Catch up with Real Time. He really goes all out here! Bill Maher Goes Full ‘CSI’ To Connect The Dots Between Donald Trump And Russia. Walk all the way to the Forest Street Co-op for brunch. It takes an hour, but I'm enjoying Wait, Wait during my stroll. Bus back home. Let's watch a classic - Boys Town.

vrijdag 29 september 2017 Trevor Noah offers 3 good reasons you should donate to Puerto Rico. I love Trevor's idea of getting an English language translator for Trump. Puerto Rico deserves better. We all deserve better.

Why are the citizens of Puerto Rico threatened by a deadly social collapse while the fruit of PR’s labor is shipped to the Wall Street guys? Trump’s Tax Plan Is An Act Of Political Domination By The Rich. To clear my head of politics and troubles, I head up to the Co-op. Coffee on sale - 30% off! Happy National Coffee Day! I love the art gallery in the dining room. "Sunset at Sea" is my favorite.

My first time to visit Glass Beach... at the end of Cornwall Avenue. There's actually sand on the beach. People gather to watch the sunset.

donderdag 28 september 2017 Midnight movie - Across The Universe. Na na na na na, na na na. Hey, Jude.

Happiness is a Warm Gun is a song originated by The Beatles is sung by Max. The spinning of the room is symbolic of a roulette, signifying the causalities of war. Showing Max's addiction to morphine. Turn on Bill Press. His 2005 interview with Roy Moore is famous again! 'Homosexual Conduct should be illegal'

Yes! I saw the segment on Trevor Noah's show. For the first time we're seeing that Trumpism can exist without Trump, which is terrifying. Let's get to know the real Roy Moore! I drop my bike off at Earl's to get the breaks fixed. Meanwhile, I walk down Kulshan Street. It's getting warm, and I would love a beer, but Melvin isn't open yet. Some dude setting up the sign.

It's up to 85°F with plenty of sunshine. Lots of wandering. It take 40 minutes to get to the library. Up to the Co-op for lunch. Turn on KUOW. They interview the author of Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Who thinks intelligence can only be found in the human skull? Could computers become super-smart? What if they can?

Yay! My bike is fixed - $19.81. Let's ride!

woensdag 27 september 2017 At Midnight... Star Trek: Is There in Truth No Beauty? In going beyond warp 9.5, the Enterprise enters a space-time continuum and becomes stranded in an uncharted void.

Catching up with the news... Trump: 'All I do is work.' Trying to defend against his indefensible barrage of tweets against the NFL players as Puerto Rico reels in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Seahawk Michael Bennett 'would love' to talk with Trump.

On Monday, Bennett sat down for an interview on 360° with Anderson Cooper to talk about the wave of protests. Let's "Fix him." Head down to the book sale at the BLP. It's a frenzy! I'm claustrophobic!

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill playing on KEXP on my walk back home. It's nice to have the apartment to myself. Watch Ellen. I laugh out loud when Eric Stonestreet tackles the scary guy in the box. My God! BoJack Horseman is crazy! Princess Carolyn's family history!

dinsdag 26 september 2017 Midnight. Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi movie - Alien Arrival. After crash-landing on a distant moon, escaped prisoner Kye must do whatever it takes to survive while facing down his worst enemy: himself.

Sit back, relax and learn to love the bomb again... Watch Doctor Strangelove. General "Buck" Turgidson: Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I do say no more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops! Uh, depending on the breaks.

Ride to Earl's because my breaks are squeaking. They can't do anything today. So, I cruise around the neighborhood. I find the RE Store. They're busy in the alley unloading trucks. Things to fix and restore. I hitch up my bike to walk up and down the streets... through Elizabeth Park where a find this friendly-looking wooden sculpture.

Winner of 6 Academy Awards. Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron sing and dance to the music of George and Ira Gershwin in the Drama, Musical, Romance movie An American in Paris.

maandag 25 september 2017 I finished Yamato 2199 last night. Yamato leaves Iscandar for home... back into the Solar System. With the device from Iscandar, they can rescue the Earth.

It was a Sunday of protest. After everything that happened yesterday, will Trump try to disband the NFL by presidential decree? Reactions are still crisscrossing the US today. What do fans do after Protest Sunday?

Whew! Macklemore gets on the floor with Ellen!

Michael and I go see Kingsman: The Golden Circle. WOW!

Turn on France 24. US news seeps into the world. Trump in escalating row with sports stars over anthem protest. En français, s’il vous plaît! LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Colin Kaepernick : Trump se met à dos les sportifs américains. My favorite guys tweeting together.

The Seahawks take to the field in Nashville to battle the Titans. Lots of penalties and flags. Richard Sherman draws three penalties in three seconds. Seattle 27 - 33 Tennessee.

Trek to Happy Valley Park on my bike. It's the last day of Summer, but it seems that Fall started a few days ago. The park seems bigger than the green square on the map. The purple flowers say HI.

I've had a craving for these the whole day. On my way back, I buy some Peanut Butter Oreos - $3.99 at Haggen.

woensdag 20 september 2017

woensdag 20 september 2017 Midnight movie - Day Watch. A nail-biting horror set in contemporary Moscow. The special effects are dazzling. Without the Chalk of Destiny, Moscow is doomed!

Are Moscow's youth - the hope for the future - doomed as well? Yegor? Kostya? Good story-lines along with a Russian poem - Kostya lives! Костя жив!. In the hope of plunging into evil dreams, he only writes on the wall with white chalk that Kostya is alive. Anton tries to protect his son, Yegor, from the forces of the dark side.

I have only to blame myself, but I get weird dreams. I wake up early to watch Stephanie Miller. She chats with Bob Cesca. Check out his latest post on Salon - The Goon is Back.

Mental health professionals assess President Trump’s mental health in a soon to be released book - The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. I'd like to get my hands on this.

As I watch Star Wars, I want to pay better attention to the Aliens of the Mos Eisley Cantina like Momaw Nadon, an exile from Ithor. Momaw Nadon was a rebel sympathizer who cultivated a hidden garden in the mountains south of Mos Eisley.

dinsdag 19 september 2017 Midnight movie - 2010. This movie came out in 1984... 33 years ago. It still thrills me. One of many great scenes is when the Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov aero-breaks in low orbit of Jupiter. It's scary and beautiful at the same time.

I manage to sleep for a few hours... until Trump speaks to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. I awake to this nightmare: Trump Threatens to ‘Totally Destroy’ North Korea. Trump declares Kim Jong Un is Rocket Man! Oh no no no I'm a rocket man. Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone. I'm going to have that song on my mind ALL DAY! I reset my odometer last week, and it's already up to 100 miles. I love cruising around the residential streets. It's a nice cool, cloudy day for exploring the neighborhoods. Ellen always makes me happy. She plays trivia with her Hunky Hotties, but I'm embarrassed for the boys. She throws out a tough one. I can't even spell hors d'oeuvres! How about a musical to end the day? Let's watch Bye Bye Birdie.

maandag 18 september 2017 Without warning, an alien spaceship attacks a Japanese moon base. It's MST3K: Gamera vs. Zigra.

Animation for Shoutfactory's DVD menu. "The horror!" Uff! It's pouring rain! Watch Bill Press and Stephanie Miller. Michael picks me up to take me to brunch at the Harris Avenue Cafe. I get the Toulouse Eggs with salmon. Smoked cheddar eggs for Michael.

The mimosa goes straight to my head! Michael drops me off at home and I watch Kingsman: The Secret Service. Congratulations, Eggsie. You completed the first task. (Survival)

Catching up with last night's Emmy's. Celebrating diversity. One speech impressed me very much! Lena Waithe celebrates the ‘superpowers’ of being different. Thank you, Lena.

Seattle is revved up for the Seahawks game. It's still 5 hours from kickoff, but people are already partying at KING 5! Festive table!

Bike down to Fairhaven. Stiff wind from the south - 10 to 20 mph. I see white caps on the water. Am I going to get home before the rain comes?

It's raining on the Seahawks and the Forty Niners. Doug Baldwin WOOP! The third quarter is a little rough. San Francisco 9 - 12 Seattle. Yay!

zaterdag 16 september 2017

zaterdag 16 september 2017 Midnight - Real Time With Bill Maher. About the flip-flopper-in-chief... Bill Maher On Donald Trump: ‘This Is Not Bipartisan, This Is Bipolar’. Weird dreams. I'm sure that it's from Midnight Special. Alton's eyes!

I like this vid about French. Yes! You need to be careful. French has a lot of "False Friends!" Blesser doesn't mean to Bless. It means to injure, harm, hurt. Check this out. Watching the the Army vs Ohio State game. It doesn't take long for the Buckeyes to score. And they dominate! Army 7 - 38 Ohio State.

Next on The Walking Dead, someone stumbles upon a brand new society unlike anything seen before... a world without men!

Swear.
