Bluntness

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

My Mother in the Matrix

 Yesterday was a short shift for me.  It was totally weird, starting so late and being in the store for 5 hours.  I have to say, I'm not a fan of that shift.  I might have to talk to HR to see that it doesn't happen again.

Outside, the weather crappy.  We might possibly have snow, but more probably get rain weather pattern we been through several times this past winter.  At this point, we do need to begin talking about winter as though it's in the past.  Sure, we might possibly get snow.  We might even get a deep snow, but it will melt away in a day or so.

And I did stay up to watch the Oscars.  I'm anticipating Bob's review of who wore what, waiting to see if he mentions the woman with gigantic veil who wasn't nominated but definitely wanted everybody, everywhere, all at once to see her.  This woman.  The one who gave zero fucks to anyone sitting behind her.  I'm surprised they left her into the theater wearing that.


As for the Oscars, themselves?  I liked them.  I was pleased with the acting wins.  Everything, Everywhere, All at Once deserved the picture.  I find it amusing that the idea for the film started at a party when one of the Daniels said "I wonder what would happen if we made a movie about my mother in the Matrix."

The Force

 Holy Crap was it windy yesterday.  The March lion was definitely on the prowl in Central PA.  Not only did gustiness abound, yesterday was also garbage day, so quite a number of unfettered garbage cans roamed the neighborhood, propelled by winds with speed up to 35 mile per hour.   Having a driveway in which to park, my car was relatively safe, however those cars parked along the street were fair game.

Today I'll drive to the Municipal Building a pay my taxes.  There was a time when I'd go inside, but now I just put the envelope with the check in the drop box.  I could email my bank and have them send a check, but I'm also going to have to hit my local giant for walnuts.  

So, I watched "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" last evening, or I should say watched most of it.  For some reason, there have been issues both times I've tried to watch it.  The first time the sound wasn't synced right.  I sat through the entire 2 hours and 19 minutes with words never matching lips.  Last night the sound was right, and I was enjoying my second viewing until 20 minutes from the end.  Then, a blue vertical rectangle popped up in the center of the screen, about 2 inches wide and 6 inches tall.  It was right in the middle of the screen.  The movie played for another few minutes and then shut down.  I had the option of restarting, but chose not to.  There's nothing wrong with the TV, but there does seem to be some force out there which wants to prevent me from watch this movie.

I posted this to my YouTube channel yesterday.



I find it amusing that Dominion is releasing all of these emails and texts sent by the on-air personalities of Fox; people whose on-air personas are extremely right wing complaining about Trump.  These says a lot about their lack of moral fiber.  They had no problem pushing Trump's outlandish claims of election fraud basically to insure they were getting a paycheck.  It makes you wonder if Tucker, and Laura are still being phony; do they take their programs seriously?  Is Rupert still pulling their strings?

Word is that a certain someone is going to be indicted this afternoon.  I give a name, but, if it's true, I wouldn't want to jinx the chances.  If it is true, there will be joy in Mudville this evening.
