Red Sunrise

Well, it's Wednesday... and I get to go back to work.  Can you sense the excitement in my words?  Can we talk about raw titillation? 

I ordered some bells, decorative that jingle jangle.  I was going to drape them around a tapestry I picked up in Singapore about... oh, 40 years ago (give or take a year).  When I ordered them I changed the quantity to 2 (2 strings, each 40 inches long).  For some odd reason they shipped them separately:  one came UPS and the USPS, both arrived yesterday.  Well, they jangle a little bit but they don't have a lot of jingle.  They're only for decoration so they'll do.

I downloaded some software to let me edit my little GoPro films.  Now I don't have to use their crappy little canned soundtracks.  This is the first, something I believe I've already shown.  

There was a debate last night.  I didn't watch.  I see where some of our freshmen representatives, the progressive ones, are signing on to Sander's team.  Sorry, but his ticker's already missed a couple of beats.  At his age it's heard to repair the damage from that little dramatic moment.  He's not healthy as a horse.  This old man needs to take a seat.  His time in the sun is waning fast.

Only rode 5 miles yesterday.  To be truthful, I wasn't suppose to ride at all.  My recovery period for that 16 miles the day before was 48 hours.  I could tell it in my legs.  Tonight, instead of a ride I'm going get down and do some ab work.  

I went to see "Joker" last evening.  The movie is making a bundle at the Box Office.  It's not for everyone.  Set in the 70's, I found it rather self-absorbed, doing its best to make an interesting villain unlikable.  More of a study on mental illness than anything else, you never feel more than a smidgen of sympathy for Joaquin Phoenix.  After a while, his laugh became annoying as hell.  For a sad comparison, "Joker" is like "A Beautiful Mind" on a very, very bad hangover, in fact they try and pull some of the same tricks as that much better film.  Last night was cheapo ticket night and there were only about 20 people in the theater.  Oh, and in case you're wondering, they do bring in bits of the Batman story line, but to be perfectly honest they seemed more like filler.
