woensdag 17 december 2014 It's Midnight, and I'm not asleep. Check out France 24. I'm surprised to see Tinsel Talk in the crawl. Mes félicitations! Timberlake, Biel expecting first child. A touching moment in Brooklyn... Justin Timberlake is thankful to a young fan. Beautiful! Despite what's in the news, we can be human and be touched by a little kindness. Good for Justin! That touches me, too. Catch up with Rachel Maddow. 2015 Is Coming And It's Going To Be... Men-o-pause? Clock ticks for Senate Democrats to confirm Obama nominees. Watch France 24. Maybe a couple hours of sleep. It's 45° and cloudy for my walk up to 310 E. Pine in my shorts. I'm Year-Round Shorts Duuude. Pass by the new Starbucks Reserve Roastery. They're busy. Cherry Street is not, but that's where I have my coffee... for free! I haven't had coffee for a few days. I consume maybe 4 ounces, and I'm revved up. I clean up the coffee bar and my desk. Untangle the cables around my computer. Thin crust pepperoni pizza for lunch. Very zesty! Listen to KUOW - The Record. Nice to hear Ross Reynold on the radio again. They talk about President Obama's announcement that the U.S. will work with Cuba to normalize diplomatic ties. Cuban-Washingtonians call into the show to express their happy expectations. Thanks, Obama.

Watch The Cycle. Nice to see Senator Al Franken. Sen. Al Franken endorses Hillary Clinton for 2016 and goes after Uber in an exclusive interview with Ari Melber. I like the question: Does Mitch McConnell laugh? HA! Al Franken: I’m ready for Hillary. Thank you, Al Franken.

Spicy black bean soup for dinner. Sorry. I'm getting gas. Watch movie - Blazing Saddles. An old birthday present from my sister. Warning: Satire included.

dinsdag 16 december 2014 Midnight movie - MST3K: Hercules Unchained. Watch out! Not the Water of Forgetfulness. Continue with The Beatniks and The Rebel Set. I can't settle down and sleep. My stomach still hurts. A BBC News alert on my iPad - Taliban massacre children at school. More meanness. More sadness. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Bob Cesca of The Daily Banter talks with Steph about Dick Cheney’s psychotic interview this past Sunday. Bob's post - The 11 Most Psychotic Things Dick Cheney Said About Torture on Meet the Press. Long list, Bob Cesca. Bath salts in nice warm water. Cream of rice for breakfast. Walk down to the bank. Up to Whole Foods to pick up a few things. I get dizzy and tired on my way back. Watch France 24 for a couple hours. Doze off, but a bad dream wakes me up. Need some fresh air. It's 49° and cloudy for my walk around Denny Triangle. I'm feeling a little stronger. Back to my place. Watch X-men: Days Of Future Past. Mutants are recruited to fight in Vietnam. Havoc is waiting for his next mission.

The mutants escape... but to where? Back to Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters... closed after most of the teachers and students left. Xavier, now a broken man, has been overusing a serum which allows him to walk but suppresses his telepathy.

Wolverine explains his mission and persuades Xavier to help free Magneto from a prison cell beneath the Pentagon. They know that they need the perfect guy - Peter Maximoff. You - my little kleptomaniac - get to break into the Pentagon.

Thai-style chicken noodle soup for dinner. Whew! It's spicy. Watch SNL. I love The Office: Middle Earth.

Rest in bed in pain. Shaking. I feel cold. Flipper warms me up. Watch episode Lady And The Dolphin. A congresswoman visits Coral Key with an eye to close the park -- and to sending Flipper to a naval scientific program. Sandy and Bud are worried.

Watch Ronan and Hardball. Done with politics. Watch I Am Number Four.

zondag 14 december 2014 Up at 5:44. It's dark and cold outside.

I'm glad that I don't have to go anywhere today. I admit it. I'm obsessed. Ronan and Star-Lord struggle for the orb. It's the Infinity Stone, an item of immeasurable power that destroys all but the most powerful beings who wield it. Watch some news.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the best! Now The Piña Colada Song is nagging my brain. The sun is rising. It's clear blue skies. Take a walk up to South Lake Union. Back down Westlake. They still have stuffing at Whole Foods. Want some! The Seahawks game in on 710 AM. Fun to watch the blogs.

One quick message for Seattle Seahawks: You are only small club from a small town!

My goodness!  Seahawks knock 49ers out of contention with 17-7 win. Who's your daddy? Watch MST3k 412 - Hercules and the Captive Women. Ever-intrepid demi-god Hercules battles Proteus and rescues a beautiful princess.

zaterdag 13 december 2014 Up at 5:40. 3 students shot at alternative high school in Portland. Portland police ID suspect in shooting near high school. Short walk up Pike. Kaladi is busy at 9:30. Back to my place to turn on Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me! Breaking news from NPR: Protesters Rally In 'Justice For All' March Through D.C.

Justice for all: Thousands march against police violence.

Watch Up With Steve Kornacki. It’s shaping up to be a potentially wild weekend on Capitol Hill – a fight pitting both Republicans and Democrats against members of their own party. It’s Elizabeth Warren, Ted Cruz vs. The White House. Will Cain wins Up Against The Clock! Yay! Good show, Steve! Good game!

Stand With Hillary. Wow! It's kinda korny with 857,823 YouTube views. The guy from that “Stand With Hillary” video has also played Jesus, starred in an Ariana Grande music video. It's the lovely and talented Jason Tobias. Uff da. I should get out and get some fresh air. It's too cold. Watch movie - Another Earth.

This vid was clawling around my mind all day.

vrijdag 12 december 2014 Nice to see Mark Wahlberg in action. Midnight movie - Transformers: Age of Extinction. A little sleep. Turn on Stephanie Miller. It's May Lee's last day. She's going to CCTV America. Good luck in your new place. Head out for a little walk. Amazing. Tree branches are down everywhere. The front page of the Seattle Times.

It’s lights out for thousands as storm hits Puget Sound I guess that I lucked out. Strong winds knocked out power to more than 160,000 customers in Western Washington. Even my internet is working. So, I'm going to watch Groot again. Thanks!

My Chucks are soaked. Watch Lab Rats. The 3rd Season. Yaya! High winds expected this evening. I bet that my internet conks out. Watch Baby Daddy - Curious Georgie. Oh, goodness!

Watch Man of Steel. It looks like an "S" to me.  It's Kryptonian for hope.
