Summer 2022

So here's summer again and yet again I am faced with making repairs to my house, or just hoping that it will all go away if I don't think about it. Guess what? I'm being forced to think about it and actually do something about it. I have to get working on my repairs because while my insurance company did compensate me for the damages, they decided to no longer write policies in this area. Guess whose insurance policy did not get renewed? Mine! My roof is damaged from Hurricane Ida last fall, my outside shed was destroyed, and my gutters are half way on. To make things even better, my water heater decided to fall apart and just die. Thankfully, all the water didn't flood my house because it's located under my carport. Whew! Today, my water heated is finally being replaced. I've been without hot water for almost a week now. Things post-raging-pandemic have been slowed down to a snail's pace, so most services just take longer to get completed. My task today is to cash my insurance check and get moving on all the other repairs on my house. I'm going to call a roofer who was recommended to me recently and see what kind of estimate he or she will give me. Fingers crossed that after that I will have money left over to complete repairs on the rest of my house. Wish me luck!

Thirtysomething(else)

So I'm a follower of just about anything that mentions Thirtysomething, the late 80's TV show, and I was surprised to discover that they are planning on a reboot of the show. Naturally, or maybe not, the show would now focus on the lives of the original cast's children. I think it's a wonderful idea, but I don't want them to fuck it up. There's always the great potential of it happening, but I guess we shall have to wait and see. The streets are talking and they were getting ready to do the first table read, but then COVID-19 hit. Damnit, Corona! It's OK, though, because all good things come to those who wait. Just don't fuck up my show!

Patrick Fugit will play Ethan Weston, Elliot and Nancy's oldest child.







 Odette Annabel will play Janey Steadman

Chris Wood (who?? Should I know him??) will play Leo Steadman. Deadline.com says that he played Mon-El on Supergirl on the CW.



After thinking about the cast I realized that we won't be seeing Gary, played by Peter Horton, because (careful - spoiler) he died in an accident in the last season.

But to tie you over, I borrowed some pictures from Mel Harris' Instagram to give you a sneak peak at Hope's possible wardrobe choices and a candid shot of the cast and crew in an elevator. 

I can't wait for the season premiere. Just remember, don't fuck it up!

My Corona

It's been quite a while since I posted something here.  I don't think blogs are "en vogue" at this time, but I don't give a crap since, I feel, this is just for me.

So, it's March 26, 2020, and it's been close to 3 years since my last post. Since then, I haven't changed much except the pounds that I've gained. The world is just about the same except for this new virus making the news. I guess I should be thankful it's not Ebola, a virus that causes uncontrollable bleeding, but it's bad enough that the whole country is either self-isolating, self-distancing, or quarantining people.

Here is a link to prevent the virus from catching up to you: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.html  

So, besides catching this virus everything else is OK.

I've been working from home for almost two weeks now, and so have most of my friends. It's a whole new world for now, but I'm hoping things will balance themselves out. It's odd that I used the word "balance" because some of the overly religious sometimes say that this is God's way of balancing the world. I don't personally feel or think that. However, the last time I heard it said was when I went through the Katrina shit show. Oh, "It's God's way of cleansing this city" or "It's God's way of balancing what's become topsy-turvy." I don't know what's to become of us or how we will be 3 or 4 months from now, but I'm hoping for the best. I always hope for the best.

All Night Long

It's been a while since I've been here. I can't say for a fact that I will return on a regular basis, but there may be a chance. How's that for being non-committal?

For now, I'm awake watching "Rogue One" on Netflix. I should be sleeping, but my cold/allergy attack makes it difficult. I'll be back.

What Do the Pet Shop Boys and Annie Lennox Have In Common?

The colors in both these videos have always called to me. They turn very colorful toward the end, but it's only come to my attention that they have something in common. The headdress Annie Lennox and the showgirls in the PSB's video wear so wonderfully well. It's only taken me thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss long to realize it.
