I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Drama

 Good morning, afternoon, or evening.  The good news for today is that the temps here in Central PA are supposed to top off in the mid to upper 40s (F).  This is so much better than those Christmas days when the temps bottomed out down near 0 (F).  

I've been thinking lately that some of Biggie's midnight bathroom breaks have more to do with getting a biscuit rather than the pressure of a full bladder, more of a bad habit than anything else.  Last night I put my theory to the test.  A little over an hour after he was on the bed, I felt the weight change (he weighs 116 lbs.) and the ker-thump of his paws hitting the floor.  Instead of getting up, I just lay there.  About 20 minutes later, he got back on the bed and slept through the rest of the night without any problems.  I'm suspecting my theory is correct.

There are certain loud voices complaining about Babylon's failure at the box office, claiming that audiences are more interested in going to see a Marvel film rather than a good drama.  While these people are somewhat right, they're missing the point entirely.  It's very rare for audiences to flock to the movies to take in a good drama,.  With all of the freaking drama around us, why would anyone spend money to expose themselves to even more.  This has always been the case.  If you don't believe me, spend some time looking over box office grosses for dramas for the past 30 years.  Dramas are simply not popular.

And, speaking of movies, rather than waste time at Babylon, I went to see Avatar, The Way of the Water last evening.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The movie is filled with eye candy that's simply amazing at times.  The story's good, there's even drama between two different fathers and their sons.  There's even a bit of a Titanic moment.  Three hours and 20 odd minutes went by very fast.  



And now, for the Drama.  Republicans were praying that the George Santos revelations, that he's a lying sack of shit, were going to go away.  They're getting worse.  His claim to being Jew-ish took a terrible turn yesterday when forms he sent to Jewish groups had him claiming to be a proud Jewish American, and this from a Catholic boy.  Even Tulsi Gabbard is questioning his integrity (stop laughing).  I'm guessing she knows how badly this is going to effect Republicans in the long run.

Evidently, on numerous occasions copies of confidential documents were made, and taken to the White House, and disbursed to members of the private sector.  People are wondering if these are the papers Mark Meadows was burning in his office fireplace.

Trump's taxes will be released to the public on Friday.  

More drama to arrive this afternoon.

  1. Maybe it should be called the DOP. Drama Ole Party! Just the same shit...different day.

    And yes I suspect your observations of Biggie are correct. Since I'm a night owl, Lilith tries to constantly go out a lot at night but she doesn't need to. I've observed when she goes out she's going out just to run and get air I suspect. She never does any business. She generally does that at 9:30 at night.

    1. I've been suspecting Biggie's biscuit motive for some time. If he doesn't get to go outside, he just goes to sleep.

  2. You mentioned The Glass Onion the other day and how you didn't really care for it. I stayed up until 1.30 a.m. last night watching it and I thought it was fun. We obviously have very different taste in movies (just as well really - wouldn't do for us all to be the same would it)!

    1. I'm glad you liked it. I tend pick apart the details too much, especially in mysteries.

  3. I am ready for all the drama of the GOP to eat that party alive.

    1. From what we're seeing so far, I think it's more than likely going to be a comedy.
