So, I'll consider last night our final performance and today some other thing.

Came home, the dog peed, then I fed her her second meal and I'm awaiting the arrival of some food.

[Freddie]

So sorry to hear that, BK. 

[singdaw]

Good night, friends.

[John G.]

Sorry, BK. You have the right idea to focus on last night.

[John G.]

Starting to stream a British Christmas movie that came highly recommended, The Holly and the Ivy. Ralph Richardson, Celia Johnson and Denholm Elliott star.

[John G.]

Malcolm Arnold did the score.

DR singdaw:  I did not put up a tree.  That photo you cited was the one i decorated for Christmas 2016.

I know I did one in 2017, as well, but I never photographed.

Since then, i have only put up trees without decorations...just lights.

Last year and this year, NOTHNG.  Not in the mood.

DR Rodzinski:  I, too, felt nothing, emotionally, about "Barbie."

I had a small discussion in today's weekly Zoom chat with film music fans in which the ending was cited by one of them as something rewarding and refreshing after a film filled with absurdity, albeit entertaining absurdity.

To that, I had to ask what was rewarding and refreshing about a "doll" becoming a real person and wanting a real life?  Was she having a Pinocchio-style complex or something? 

I think Barbie has a place in children's imaginations and toys...but is she really a real-life heroine?

I like clever things, but there was nothing that resonated for me after it was over.

"Barbie" was on Max vice Netflix.  My error.

A man and his son are coming in the morning to repair/replace my dislodged gutter.  I will be very happy and relieved when this is done.

It will feel as though I have accomplished quite a lot for 2024, even if it was writing out checks to pay for all the work.

Sox days until Noche de los Rabanos. Time to get planning.

I’m thinking of making this radish bread.

The Holly and the Ivy was a great Christmas flick. The movie was new to me, but thr emotions were real. England after the war. A family finding its way. Very British, very moving.

Show was, for me, a complete thud and I think the cast felt it, too.

Darn.

[George]

So, I'll consider last night our final performance and today some other thing.

A post-partum rehearsal?

[John G.]

Finished Rachel Maddow’s Prequel. It’s the story of the rise of fascism in America in the early twentieth century. Excellent.

[John G.]

Now listening to a comical mystery, The Clementine Complex. Very British. Enjoyable so far.

[John G.]

The milestone will have to wait until tomorrow.

[John G.]

I’m beginning to fade.

[John G.]

But we can move to BK’s favorite page first.

[John G.]

There was sarcasm in that post.

[John G.]

If you can find it.

[John G.]

Watched the animated version of Elf earlier. I always enjoy an Ed Asner musical.

[John G.]

I prefer Jim Parsons to Will Ferrell.

[John G.]

Let’s move on.

[John G.]

One more.
