Not a good look when the protest you break up has signs saying register to vote after officer shows that this would stop if people “liked our trump government more”.
2020 sure is a trip folks.
That said, today marks the first day thats officially “hoodie weather” here. A delightfully dreary rainy cool day. This time of year, and this type of weather is the best. It all just always feels the most comfortable, and most of my fondest memories are tied with these feelings.
Coming to October, it is probably my favourite month, its reliable. cooling down autumnal crispness. last few glimmers of warmth before winter …
On a lighter note, this tweet from Mark Hamill says it all:
That debate was the worst thing I’ve ever seen & I was in the Star Wars Holiday Special
Mark is referring to a TV Christmas special involving the Star Wars cast, which George Lucas has tried to suppress for decades. It’s legendary among Star Wars fans for its awfulness.
A lawyer friend of mine has confirmed that the second debate will just be a knife fight outside a Denny’s in Reno, NV.
A joke my daughter told me.
"I was playing Scrabble with Midge Ure. At the end of the game I laid down my last four tiles and declared myself the winner. Midge just stared at the tiles.
‘What’s wrong?’
‘What’s wrong is your tiles make no sense at all.’
'Really? I should have thought it was an obvious play. ’
Midge just stared at the tiles, shaking his head.
‘O V N R. This means nothing to me.’
For you young’uns, Midge was the lead singer of “Ultravox” and this was a seminal early synth song:
I saw him on the '89 (I think it was) tour with Howard Jones. Some douchebag heckled him and he asked “Can we kill that wanker?”
Ah, the details that come back from youth…
They shot the video for £6000 and, I seem to recall, used masking tape to give the 4:3 image a letterbox profile so it felt more like a film.
My daughter’s other joke is about Carly Rae Jepsen. Somehow there was a rumour she had a crush on the android character played by Winona Ryder in Alien Resurrection. Her response to the rumour in an interview was rather coy: “Call, me? Maybe.”
Always had a crush on wynona…
Mark Hamil should Celebrate any of his work other than his apperance in Jay and Silent Bob Strike back ( not a bad film ). Where he played Cock Knocker
Oh I had 2 run-ins with her in the 90’s one day after the other. (We happened to be at the same place at the same time in two different states no less.) She’s a real piece of work. I watched Christian Slater literally hand her her ass in front of a huge crowd of people in Vegas. She was being f*cking ridiculous and he had had enough and lost it on her. I then ran into her the next day on Sunset in LA with her brother and she was equally awful. I wish cell phone videos were a thing back then because Christian going off on her was spectacular.
I think, to be fair, she’s had some issues in her life that may, if not excuse, then at least explain some of the erratic behavior
Our first 30c degree day here. It’s fluffing beautiful and warm and everything in the garden is so lush and full of new life!
My first shorts day.
Clearly autumn = hoodies, spring = shorts
I was trying to lighten the tone. That doesn’t seem to have worked.
Perhaps try turning off dark mode/theme? P:
I spent 10 minutes looking for a live video where you could see Warren Cann tweaking the tempo knob on the CR-78, but failed.
well got sent home early today from the movie we were working on . someone tested positive . someone that was standing right next to me yesterday waiting to get our tests , so yeah a bit nervous about the virus thing and bummed about the loss of good paying work that I actually enjoy doing ! . at least everyone was good about wearing masks and keeping washed up . hopefully we will return on Monday to work.
I’d rather die than use lite mode.
Had a meeting this morning confirming that the horrible neighbours have vacated the property. Now all I need to worry about is soundproofing the party wall of the semi-detached house so my daughter can have her meltdowns in comparative peace. I’ve been given 28 days to get a quote for the work. In a region under stringent lockdown because of the resurgence of Covid-19.
hate to " heart " that one but , it is good news sort of . we have a house [ a rental ] on our street that has been like that for the ten years we have lived here . always some kind of disrespectful people , its been 3 or 4 changes now . now its the 20 something year olds that think our street is a rally course and the road is a good place for their junk yard .
