donderdag 1 augustus 2019 Midnight movie - The Incredible Hulk.
HEART BEATING
Up with Stephen Colbert with his clever post-debate monologue. Joe Biden Attacked From All Sides. Gillibrand: First thing I'll do if elected is 'Clorox the Oval Office' Clorox: Commander in Bleach!
I fell asleep during CNN Dem Debate #2, but Democracy Now plays highlights. Brother Cornel West has opinions: What we actually witnessed in the last two days is the ways in which the Democratic establishment — this kind of last gasp of the old neoliberal project within the corporate wing of the Democratic party — is moving towards a state of panic.
John Legend slams 'racist prick' Donald Trump. You're too lenient, John.
My Lisinopril-Hydrochlorothiazide is slowing me down. It takes me 30 minutes to walk to the library... usually 22, but I sit and rest several times. It's a nice day... 82° and sunny. I'm taking home East of Eden. James Dean plays Cal. Richard Davalos: Aron. Julie Harris: Abra.

woensdag 31 juli 2019

woensdag 31 juli 2019 Mitchy, Snitchy and Bitchy are not happy with the Dem Debates. Twitter can be fun! 😄
Pete Buttigieg at the CNN debate. If you are a Republican Member of Congress sitting at home watching this debate, how do you want to be remembered at the sunset of your political career?
Malignant hypertension is the diagnosis... I just went in for a few tests. The people at the Cleveland Clinic were very concerned about my blood pressure. They treated it as a medical emergency. So, I was carted off in a ambulance to the emergency room at Mercy Hospital.
What an interesting and surprising day! I responded to medicine, and I'm at home now... taking in this scariness.

dinsdag 30 juli 2019 Midnight movie - MST3K: Daddy-O. Mr. Highpants is Daddy-O! Rock Candy Baby/Hike Your Pants Up.
I can't sleep, so I switch to Star Trek: The Next Generation. We learn about Vulcan mythology in the episode Gambit. Before the Time of Awakening, Vulcans believed in a number of different gods, such as the God of War, the God of Death, and the God of Peace. Picard discovers the mythical Stone of Gol. Now what?
Seafair Week Is Here... I mean THERE! I'm going to miss it. Blue Angels pilots from the Northwest are back in town to perform for Seafair. They stop by KING 5's Take 5 to share the exciting experience. Up to the Lorain County Free Clinic for a check-up. Nice place.
Looking forward to tonight's debates... on MSNBC at 8PM.

maandag 29 juli 2019 Midnight movie - MST3K: Outlaw of Gor. An Earthman returns to Gor, and fights against tyranny.
Everyone loves to hate the Eeeeeeevil sorcerer Xenos (Jack Palance).
I finish the series Another Life. Spaceship Salvare sails to exotic places.
On this day 10 years ago Seattle had its hottest day! I remember.
Cuban government cautiously expands Internet access. Young Cubans connect to the internet from their mobile phone in Havana.
It's really warm... and breezy. The Japanese kerria seem happy, though.
Earth Overshoot Day: Planet's 2019 resources 'budget' already spent

zondag 28 juli 2019

zondag 28 juli 2019 After watching The Martian, I, absolutely, want to see the cute little robot that Mark Watney dug up - Pathfinder - from Chryse Planitia. Matt Damon! One last scene from TDF2019. Magnifique! The beautiful sunset as the riders head down les Champs-Élysées to l'Arc de Triomphe.
Paris! What a beautiful city! It takes your breath away and it is doing the race proud. What a spectacle! Vive Bernal!
An alien artifact lands on Earth and nobody knows what it is. Scientists try to figure out its origin. Things go haywire. Watch Another Life.
Alex Ozerov: From Boy Next Door to Another Life. He's cute!

zaterdag 27 juli 2019

zaterdag 27 juli 2019 Midnight - Restored Apollo 11 Moonwalk. Rumors had it that today's stage would be cancelled due to bad weather, but things cleared up. Julian Alaphilippe with a clingy jersey wide open. Sexy! Long climb to Val Thorens.
That's Stage 20 of TDF 2019. After all the predictions of chaos and doom, it was an entirely dry stage. I like the camaraderie. These riders have spent a lot of time together. Egan Bernal and Geraint Thomas cross the line together, hand in hand. Turn on Hal Sparks. He discusses high crimes and misdemeanors with a caller... such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, unbecoming conduct, refusal to obey a lawful order, chronic intoxication (adderall?), and tax evasion. Hi!✅✅✅✅
Dinner and a movie - Hash browns with hummus and The Martian.

vrijdag 26 juli 2019

vrijdag 26 juli 2019 Midnight movie - MST3K: Hercules and The Captive Women. It's nice that Gypsy joins the gang in the theater. She soon discovers that the movie is really lame and decides to leave.
It's stage 19 for the TDF2019. Oh my! It breaks my heart to watch Thibault Pinot. 💔 He's having problems with his left leg. After an arm round the shoulder from a teammate, he’s done. A sad, sad end.
My brain goes to Paris again. I'm finishing A Year In Paris by John Baxter. He talks about his home on the Carrefour de l'Odéon with the paulownia tree. I like the flower boxes with geraniums. Into to town on my bike. I get a swing in Tappan Square. It's a warm 83°F and partly sunny. Catrina's looks cool. Some day.
Over to the OPL to give back some things. I take a chair and read a little bit of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. Power not only corrupts but also magnifies existing psychopathologies, even as it creates new ones. Fostered by the flattery of underlings and the chants of crowds, a political leader’s grandiosity may morph into grotesque delusions of grandeur. Our Witness to Malignant Normality. It is a "Duty To Warn" indeed... I just can't read it! I put the book away.
I guess stage 16 had more drama. I didn't watch it to the end. On France 24 - Egan Bernal takes the yellow jersey from Julian Alaphilippe. Dinner and a movie - Noodles with curried lentils and Ay tuta mishka Jabba du Hutt?... Return of the Jedi. That kooky Palpatine!
