I drugged myself into a stupor last night with Extra-strength Tylenol and muscle relaxers and actually slept rather well. I had weird moments with my endangered left foot - got it tangled in the sheet - and the extraction was awkward and painful. Faithful Thatch stayed with me all night. Around 2:30 I woke and took another two Tylenol and another muscle relaxer and slept well until 6:30.

Roof is done! There's more work to be done (some siding and interior repairs), which I think will be scheduled for next week. The roof - and it's fairly large as roofs go - took two full days. But I'm always amazed that that's ALL they take.

And now if you'll excuse me, I've got to gather up a few more things that can go into the dumpster before it goes away. Hopefully that isn't today, but we want to get rid of some more crucial and annoying items while we can.

Update n last night's films. American Fiction was a successful adaptation of the novel, but the basic changes were sometimes a little too sitcom or pat for me. Still I laughed out loud n certain places. I cried in a couple.

Jeffrey Wright was excellent, as always. Ever since Basquiat and Bring in da Noise, he's been a favorite.
Title: Re: THE BENEFITS OF BENEFITS
Post by: John G. on May 09, 2024, 07:40:40 AM
Anatomy of a Fall is long at 152 minutes, but I didn't see a minute that I would cut. Sandra Huller was robbed of the Oscar. It's a very Liv Ullman kind of performance, a lot going on in the face and not always the vocabulary (in three languages, no less) to articulate it.

The boy is spectacular. Kudos to the dog.

It's a murder mystery/courtroom drama meets Scenes from a Marriage. Maybe my favorite of last year's best picture nominees that I have seen so far.
Title: Re: THE BENEFITS OF BENEFITS
Post by: John G. on May 09, 2024, 07:45:33 AM
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks had an insurmountable drawback, which is reality. It's the story of a white woman who sent years and her own money to get the story of the black woman behind a tissue sample and blood cells that changed the world. True story. But it still places Rose Byrne center stage, not Oprah Winfrey or the rest of George Wolfe's great cast.

It makes me want to read the book.

Lesson learned: Hire Leslie Uggams if you need an older woman. Despite her mangling of June Is Bustin' Out All Over in that infamous clip, she's still got it.

How deeply fortunate my life, my every prayer heard by the angels. I asked for the earth; I received earth, like so much mud in the face. I prayed for relief from suffering; I received suffering. Who can say my prayers were not heard? They were translated, edited—and if certain of the important words were left out or misunderstood, a crucial article deleted, still they were taken in, studied like ancient texts. Perhaps they were ancient texts, re-created in the vernacular of a particular period.

Part of the Ancient Text, a poem from Louise Gluck.

We are doing the "Does your dog bit" bit in Pink Panther strikes again.

Today I went to Goodwill and rescued a lovely stuffed doggie.....who was buried among the bears and dolls......he will soon be a star and seen by more than a thousand folks....

I have named him Jacques and he will live with me after the show.  Right now he is on a pillow on the couch and he has been brush and petted ....

Jacques originally from Build a Bear in St. Louis.

And after ALL of these years - I just figured out that Jacques Clouseau is a riff on diver Jacques Cousteau.
