Bluntness

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

A Serendipitous Tour

 Thursday.  I work.  For a full 8 hours shift.  Luckily, I start an hour early, which means I leave work at 1800, rather than 1900.  I'm fine with that.

And yesterday was one of those days when I got a lot done: mowed the lawn, couple loads of laundry, worked on the tank in the living room, played some Elden Ring.  Oh, and I did 2.25 miles on the treadmill.  I increased the weight in the spats by 1 pound on each foot, and my left knee was achy last night, so I'll probably drop it back down for a bit.  And, speaking of walking, I perused this article in the NYT this morning. Very Interesting.  Like the scientists involved in the study, I, too, would have thought dancing would have had more of an impact than just walking.

I went to see the latest Jurassic Park movie last night.  It started off a little clunky as the old cast members were reintroduced and the romance between Laura Dern and Sam Neil seemed forced, but the movie turned out to be far better than I was expecting.  Jeff Goldblum had the best lines.  In the last few Jurassic movies, action scenes seemed to take place because one of the writers said, "we need an action scene here."  In Jurassic World - Dominion, action scenes are integral to the plot, now, isn't that a nice surprise?


The January 6 committee is having their 3rd public hearing this morning and (crap, crap, carp) I have to work.  Was anyone surprised yesterday when they released video of Rep. Loudermilk (R) taking a group of people on a tour January 5?  I wasn't.  How about that gent taking pictures of staircases and hallways?  Rather serendipitous, wouldn't you say, since he happened to be one those marching to the capital the very next day.  At first Loudermilk said the tour was for family, and then he said it was for family and friends, and then he changed his story to say it was for family, friends, and friends of friends (or something to that effect).  You do know that the Republicans pulled this shit because they thought they were going to get away with it.  Now they're running around trying to coverup their shitty asses.  

Finally, it seems as though the GOP is going to escalate 'voter fraud' into being their most favorite dead horse to kick.  Pay close attention to what's happening in Nevada.  Losing candidate Joey Gilbert is already stomping away because he won in so many counties, though lost bigly in Clark county, which gave Lombardo the win... by 11%.  Ouch.

  1. The previews make me miss the old Jurassic movies. I have seen those so many times.

    1. One of the improvements they made is reining in Chris Pratt. His dialog has been cut since there are other stars in the cast.

  2. Ohhh I may have to go see this Jurassic Park, then. I love those books!
    And the only surprised about the Repug fuckery on Jan 6 are the Repugs, because as you said, they didn't think they were going to get caught. It was a coup done for them. Bastards. I'm off to watch the hearing because I bet the tea is gonna be scalding today.

    XOXO

    1. Saw a lot on social media about the hearing today, I'm betting the nightly news shows are having a field day.

  3. I had heard bad things about the new Jurassic Park movie but glad you enjoyed it. I might have to reconsider and see if Kyle is interested in watching it with me. Walking is all I am doing these days as my achilles reminded me that I should take a break from running. And I really don't miss it.

    1. I hated running. Cycling and walking cover my cardio. While the last 2 Jurassic movies were showcases for Pratt, this one actually has a story.

  4. Loudermilk also claimed the "friend" was taking photographs of the stairwell because there were pretty sconces on the stairs.
    Oh, sir, fuck all the way off you traitorous prick.
