Bluntness

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

Werewolf by Night

 Friday.  Outside there is dense fog, luminescent beneath the morning sun.  I'm sure driving must be a bitch.  Fog warnings were sent out.  I'm staying put, at least until later in the day.  Then, I may go put gas in the car... or I may not.  

On Wednesday I had lunch with my cousin Robin.  She's a few months older.  The two of us are the oldest of the Snyder grandchildren from my parent's generation.  One of the topics of conversation that came up was voting.  While political party preference was not discussed, I did find out that both her and her husband vote by mail.  Of course, if you know me, I used this little tidbit of information in a text to chide my brother.  He believes standing in line to vote is a demonstration of your patriotic duty.  That is horseshit. 

I usually watch TV on Thursday, so last night I caught up on Andor (episode 6) and The Rings of Power (episode 7).  I like the both.  I also watched (don't laugh) Hocus Pocus 2.  If I were a 13 year old girl, I probably would have loved it.  I'm not and I doubt very much if any of you are either, so you might want skip this one.  A show I did really like was Werewolf by Night.  A mini-movie, I understand this is going to be serialized, too.  I'll watch it.  And yes, it's Disney.  And yes, it is TV14, with warnings of language and violence.


And, of course, yesterday the January 6 committee had what will probably be it's last televised session.  A lot of it was a rehash of previous meetings with the clips being a little longer and meatier.  There was a nice section with Pelosi on the phone with the Governor of Virginia.  I do wish there would have been more clips of Republicans, everyone you saw was a poser in the background.  The biggest joy I got was getting the notification that the Supreme Court had rejected his latest appeal as the committee was preparing to vote to subpoena him.  That was nice, though he'll never sit for them.

Finally, there was a debate last evening between Ron Johnson and Mandela Barnes.  Johnson got laughed at and booed, two things that did not happen to Barnes.  I was going to post a clip, but it's long, but if you get the chance look it up.  It's worth the chuckle.

  1. Warewolf by Night looks like a winner, especially if they continue it in black and white. I may have to renew my Disney + membership.

    1. They must have used a lot of Hershey's syrup.

    2. Just watched the finale of Rings of Power. Now I have to rewatch the entire thing in one sitting to try to catch all the hidden hints. And, they really should just run the show year-round with no breaks for how ever long it takes.

    3. I agree totally. Perhaps 3 or 4 episodes a quarter, rather than 8 and then a year later another 8.

  2. OMG I watched Werewolf by Night and it was very cool! I also love Gael García Bernal, so there's that. And the name is Jack Russell? LOL
    Love.
    I am also watching the Rings of Power. It's good. They're milking that franchise for all it's worth, right?
    As for Cheeto, he'll never testify. He knows they have the FBI waiting outside because he'd incriminate himself one minute in. He would also incite a civil war as soon as he steps in front of a camera in a national broadcast, so there's that.
    And I'm with you about voting.

    XOXO

  3. Re: the werewolf, I thought Ted was a hoot. The Ring franchise is expected to run for years. And the Orange Anus would attempt to use a live interview as a platform for his lies.

  4. I have been wanting a good foggy morning forever, and I got one this morning. I love foggy mornings for some reason I don't know what it is. I think it might be the mystery of what's in the fog!

  5. Ron Johnson is the Louie Gohmert of the North.

    I did see Steve Scalise was outed as a lair, saying Pelosi didn't do enough on 1/6 even though he was in the room, feet away from her, as she called for help.

    1. No why would Scalise, a Republican, pay attention to what Nancy was doing?

  6. I like Andor. The Rings of Power puts me to sleep, which is sad because I love the source material. I have been watching The Watcher on Netflix. It is pretty good.

  7. I'm just curious. What happens if they subpoena Trump and he refuses to appear?

    1. He could be held in contempt and his attorneys would make more money that he was never going to pay them
