donderdag 31 december 2020 Midnight movie - The Blade Master - starring the lovely and talented Miles O'Keeffe. And he works out on the Charismatic Soloflex of Zontar-13!

Next, Oz the Great and Powerful. It's been a few years since I've watched this. How did Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs - a circus magician from Kansas - become the wonderful wizard of Oz? This movie tells his story.

It's Midnight NZDT. Happy New Year 2021, Auckland! Nice weather: 63°F and clear. I got this photo from someone's back yard of the fireworks shooting out of the Sky Tower.

New Zealand! I envie you... in so many ways! You have The Best Scenery In The World. My mind plays Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin when I see this view on the road to Wakatipu.

Dear Planet Earth... Happy Birthday to 2021 from Now Apocalypse.

woensdag 30 december 2020 Who can turn the world on with a smile? Channing Tatum on SNL (2012).

Midnight movie - MST3K: Revenge of the Mysterons from Mars. This is such a throwback! (1988) The Mysterons... sworn enemies of Earth. This is the voice of the Mysterons. You will never discover the secret of the Mysterons. We will be avenged.

Music in the morning. Beastie Boys - Shake Your Rump. Love that Fish Eye camera and Ad-Rock miming the turntable.

This is iconic! Beastie Boys at Stromboli Pizza on University Place in NYC 1987. Everything they're wearing is back in style.

Hello! It's The Dandy Warhols. Thank you, WTSQ! A long time ago we used to be friends. But I haven't thought of you lately at all. If ever again a greeting I send to you. Short and sweet to the soul I intend... We Used To Be Friends. (2003) I like Andrew Garfield as The Amazing Spider-Man. Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) is his girlfriend. The Lizard tears into Spider-Man with his razor-sharp claws. Mercy!

On KING-5 News, I see the rain system hitting us in Ohio.

dinsdag 29 december 2020 Why did Corin Nemec have to disappear after Season 6? I was a big fan of the character of Jonas Quinn. Yay! On with Season 7 of Stargate SG-1! In Fragile Balance, a teenage boy shows up at the SGC claiming to be Jack O'Neill. Will the Asgard fix what's happened to Jack? Trivia: Michael Welch (playing young Jack O'Neill) has blue eyes, but he was wearing contact lenses while playing his role on this episode, to make his eyes look brown, so they would match Richard Dean Anderson's eye color.

Never go to Erebus. Enemy Jaffa are sent to work themselves to death on this desolate planet. In Greek mythology, Erebus, also Erebos (Ancient Greek: Ἔρεβος, Érebos, deep darkness, shadow or covered), was often conceived as a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness.

maandag 28 december 2020 France 24 - Trump signs Covid-19 pandemic relief bill, averting government shutdown. Trump went golfing during a catastrophic pandemic while ignoring a bill that millions were desperate for him to sign. The whole world is watching this abhorrent, vile, cruel, sick & selfish behavior of this person. I got a little stalled with Season 6 of Stargate SG-1. The X-303 takes the SG-1 team on a wild ride through the universe. Our heroes arrive at the Asgard home world Hala which has been dominated by the Replicators. They find humanoids who are a highly evolved generation of replicators. Major Carter befriends a young-looking and wide-eyed Replicator, Fifth, who is clearly not like the others. This episode - Unnatural Selection - is sad.

What's it like to shake hands with an Asgardian? O'Neill did it.

John Carter developed a relationship with the creatures of Barsoom. Anything is possible. It's cold on Earth... 33° in Oberlin.

It's a Sci-Fi day. Dinner and a movie - Veggie Pot Pie and Barbarella.

zondag 27 december 2020

zondag 27 december 2020 Another dream about Seattle. I'm at the Cambridge Apartments. The elevator is packed with lots of happy people. 9th and Union... I miss that place!

Turn on David Pakman. Is the US military really on Red Alert with Trump's talk about Martial Law? Stand down, people.

It's not nice of Steve to run off and die -Tom Servo. Sunday morning movie - MST3K: The Hellcats. Prefer 34°F to yesterday's 16°F. Tappan Square covered with snow.

The sun is shining on our flags. Winds from the South 15 to 25 mph.

The lovely and talented Justin Bieber. Whatever he does is cute!

Dinner and a movie - Spicy tofu noodle soup and Death to 2020.

zaterdag 26 december 2020

zaterdag 26 december 2020 Dreaming about Seattle a lot lately. Ride to the Seattle Center on the Monorail. A surf lifesaver is seen standing next to a Christmas tree on a rainy day at Bondi Beach. The beach was a lot quieter than normal due to the on-going threat of Covid-19.

Countdown to Inauguration 2021! High Noon in DC, January 20, 2021. Some magats say we will secede from the USA if Biden is inaugurated and now I’m even more excited for Inauguration Day. 😆

All the political talk makes me hot and thirsty. Thanks, Hal Sparks.

vrijdag 25 december 2020 Two minutes before curfew, I wanted to take a walk last night in the snow. Maybe 2 or 3 inches would be fun, but this is serious snow. Back inside! Quick! Midnight movie - MST3K: Mitchell - starring Joe Don Baker as an abrasive, alcoholic police detective. Very much an anti-hero.

Turn on CNN. Cool! Dr. Sanjay Gupta talks about The Fauci Effect. Medical schools are seeing a record-breaking amount of applications. An increase of 18% this year. The spike has gained a nickname: The Fauci Effect. Students have been inspired by the nation’s top doctor, calling him a role model.

Merry Monolithmas Day! Now, I wanna watch 2001: A Space Odyssey! It seems appropriate.

It's a freezing 16°F as I walk out into at least 5" of snow. Impressive! My hand tingles when I take it out my glove. SO COLD!

Down to the Oberlin Arboretum. The sun is trying hard to come out.

donderdag 24 december 2020

donderdag 24 december 2020 The fire, it cracks. And the flakes snow on. November was white and December was grey. WPTV: Trumps spending Christmas at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

Laiken Jordahl of the Center for Biological Diversity: This thing is a disaster! Border wall construction presses full steam ahead in final days of Trump administration.

Fun watching MST3K: Eegah. In segment three, The Bots try to alter Joel's face to look like Arch Hall Jr. with their sinister device.

All those close-ups! (Over yet another disgusting close-up of Arch Hall Jr.) Joel: I got it, he looks like the bat from FernGully.

Finally, I finish Sweet Home. Tears and fears!!! as well as fun. Every actor is good. Hyun-su's transformation is incredible and terrifying!

Sad... So very sad. Hyun-su kills Mr. An, but he doesn't remember anything about it. Before he dies, Mr. An forgives him.

France 24 is repeating the favorites. Down to Earth: Sewing Seeds of Security. Ananda Guillet is president of the Kokopelli association which fights for the preservation of agricultural biodiversity. I like this handsome, foreward-looking young man. (I'm old.)

woensdag 23 december 2020

woensdag 23 december 2020 Nice dream about meeting a friend in Seattle at the beautiful Univeristy of Washington station.

Turn on France 24. The whole world worries about a mutant coronavirus strain in the UK. Now, there are more travel restrictions. What a mess! Chaos at UK truck park.

CNN: Trump's Sudden Stipulation for COVID-19 Stimulus Bill. He's been seething and sulking for weeks in the White House. Is he just trying to get attention? YES! Sheila Jackson Lee is right... Trump was MIA. He wasn't interested. He didn't engage.

Is there a wind storm that I missed? The Tree Service people are all over town! Hard at work sawing whole trees down.

A little left-over Kung Pao... and Avengers: Infinite Wars. Star Lord squabbles with Thor a lot. Why? C'mom boys! You're both pretty.

dinsdag 22 december 2020

dinsdag 22 december 2020 Midnight - Stargate SG-1: The Tomb. SG-1 teams up with a Russian task force to investigate the disappearance of a Russian SG team on P2X-338. The Goa'uld Marduk invades the body of Major Vallarin. Ew!?! Боже мой!

Cleveland 19: 200,000 expected to fly through Cleveland Hopkins International Airport for Christmas despite CDC warnings. This news report makes me very VERY nervous... when Ohio is at 17%!!!

Needing to calm down, I watch something silly... MST3K: Catalina Caper. The movie starts off with a cartoon. Look! A blue Leviathan!

Catalina Island... Sunshine, beach parties, yachts, scuba diving and snorkeling. Ulla Strömstedt meets 60s hearttrobs Michael Blodgett and Tommy Kirk. No shirt, no shoes, no script.

It's a chilly 37°F for a bike ride around town. People are sheltering. Notice the bike path... empty of riders. Weird. There are hardly any cars on the streets. But The Mandarin (Oops. I almost called it The Mandalorian) is busy. Made an order for Kung Pao Tofu for lunch. Lots of hungry people are waiting for their orders.

A ladybug in my kitchen! In December? Isn't that weird? The ladybug symbol serves as a sign of awareness of the past lives and the Spirit realm for the Native Americans. They look at the symbolism as a guide to learn how to trust in the Higher Self and the Great Spirit.

maandag 21 december 2020 Zip code 44074 COVID-19 data - 268 cases, 2355.8 per 100K. I didn't know 44074 was so spread out.

Die as a human or live as a monster -Sweet Home (2020).

It's snowing in South Korea. How festive! But it's September, and a young man is confronting the Republic of Korea Armed Forces. This is a strange and mysterious start to this Drama, Fantasy, Horror series. Decider: Sweet Home On Netflix, Where Residents Of A Grungy Apartment Building Hide From Bloodthirsty Monsters.

Beverly Hills. Population: 34,183 (2018). Weather forecast: 79°F and sunny. Precipitation: 0%. Thanks, WTSQ, for playing this. I'm Singing In The Freezing Drizzle... Oy! Celebrating Winter Solstice 2020 and The Great Conjunction. The sky has been so thick with clouds lately that I doubt we'll see any heavenly lights for a while. But we have a special Charlie Brown Xmas tree down the street.
