Saw the new Mad Max: Fury Road this afternoon. Another really good Tom Hardy performance. But Charlize Theron steals the movie.

Time to leave Toyland. We're getting close to the last time.

I will miss you talking about Toyland.

TOD:

For me the worst illness I've had is what I'm going through. But that's an extraordinary circumstance. Of all the cancers that ambled into my gin joint, I had to get one that's common in equatorial Africa. Burkitt's lymphoma in the US only occurs in less than 0.4 cases per 100,000 lymphoma cases. Don't know what the percentage works out as, but I'm in a select few. That's me though, always having to be different!

I think you took different to the extreme.

Watching a bootleg of the new On the Town revival. Really fun staging, and I really like Tony Yazbeck.

The sound of the music is actually better on this bootleg than it is on the new album.

Had a turkey sandwich dry on rye bread. I was a bit queasy when I got up, but now I'm feeling a bit better. The sandwich went down fine and felt like I was eating something real. Then I came home and had a banana and some applesauce. Later I'll have some white rice and that will be that.

I'm glad you are feeling better.

Here's an image of the waters Saturday night on the River Walk. Those tourists look like they've wandered onto the set of an Irwin Allen disaster movie. Scary.

We had a productive day which surprised us. We expected to be very bored.

We purshaced a Samsung tv with 4K technology (ulta high def) which includes nano technology which is billions of colors and billions of lights. It has a curved screen.

The only thing I understand about this is high def and the curved screen.

On a lighter note, here is Meryl as Florence Foster Jenkins:

I wonder if this depicts the moment right before her taxi accident, after which she had higher notes than she had ever had before.

A hilarious comment on the effectiveness of the new Mad Max movie, when compared with Fast and Furious 7:

"It was Furious 7 as directed by Julie Taymor, and who in their right mind wouldn’t enjoy that?"

The QUANTUM LEAP episode that started about 15 minutes ago has as guest stars Paul Sand and John Cullum. Scott Bakula's character Sam leaps into the body of the understudy to Cullum who is a musical theater star on the decline due to his drinking. Ernie Sabella has a role as the actor playing Sancho Panza to Cullum's Man of La Mancha. The producers must have paid a bit of coin for the rights for Cullum to sing, so far two songs, Dulcinella (I'm guessing the title) and The Impossible Dream. Now he' singing another song as he's playing inebriated.

I have the Jenkins CD of her singing, and then another awful singer who duetted with an equally bad male singer. The Glory of the Human Voice?

It's great that the original director George Miller is still making Mad Max. Miller has made better movies than those overbloated Furious CGI extravaganzas, with or without Paul Walker. I couldn't sit through a one.

Good evening...I've been E and T and haven't caught up

Cillaliz · « **Reply #111 on:** May 25, 2015, 08:43:13 PM »

Had a good vacation. I finished scrubbing the walls and painting the upstairs den. It's the room I started before my car accident in 2012. By the time I healed from that I had my other accident (not my fault) and hurt the other shoulder and still couldn't do it. So the wait went on and on. I finally decided it was way past time to finish it, so finish it I did. Whew!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #112 on:** May 25, 2015, 08:43:58 PM »

I have to say that it's mentally a huge relief. Every time I walked in there, I thought about how much work I needed to do.

I also hung the shades I bought back when I started the project. I didn't even remember what color they were going to be, lol.

I went to one full ball game on Thursday night. Friday I tried to go but after about 2 innings it was cool and raining off and on and my friends had skipped the game so I went home. Saturday, I was in the middle of painting and decided not to stop that project until it was done. It was worth it. No games until the weekend. Looking forward to that

I do love my new den. I'm not in it right now, but have been sitting in there more and more. Which is actually why I really decided to finish it.
