Well, you've read the notes, the notes were documentary in nature and had no annoying "style", and now it is time for you to post until the documentary-style cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: APPELLATIVE!
-
Welcome 385 GUESTS!
-
And the only show we could give all those guests was the start of page six.
-
Here's Spacey's responses to each and every allegation in the documentary - with much information everyone should know. It will really make you think.

Good morning, friends.

Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.

As Ira so aptly put it.

In the meantime...

Welcome 385 GUESTS!
But maybe only a dozen were looking at yesterday's posts, so they didn't notice the five-pages day!
What ARE those 385 Guests looking at? Reviews of "Gaslight" maybe? :)
-
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
If not, maybe Wednesday will be our good-friends day. (Does that rhyme? If not, it's close, isn't it?)

Good morning, all!
-
Stella is much better today, so I can relax over that. The cats still need to see a vet.
-
Last night I watched the Dutch National Ballet production of The Sleeping Beauty, nicely danced, with amazing sets and some really heavy and ugly costumes.
-
I have to do some vacuuming today, and if I get my courage up, some mopping.
-
Stella is much better today
What a relief!

~~~CONTINUED TRAVEL VIBES~~~ for DR Jane!!!!
-
Good morning, all.
-
So happy that Stella is better!

This morning the contractor is coming out to itemize what has to be done now that the roof is completed, the dumpster guy will be coming to haul his lovely 30-yard (i.e., HUGE) dumpster away, and this evening I play the first of three school spring concerts.
-
I would like to think that the rest of the week will be mine, but ... we'll see.
-
Good morning
-
Last night after work I visited with WFO, then went grocery shopping so didn’t get home until nearly 8
-
Took out the trash because this morning was trash pickup and brought in the groceries
-
Then I put the groceries away and made dinner
-
Since it was by then 830 I just made smoked brats in brioche buns and beans
-
Then after unloading and reloading the dishwasher I made a chicken pie
-
So sautéed a vidalia onion, peeled and sliced and sautéed a lb of mushrooms ( cheated with the carrots and peas, just used canned) and trimmed and diced and sautéed 3 large chicken
And made a gravy then popped it all in the pie pan ( cheated with the crust, too….Pillsbury’s)
And popped it in the oven.
-
First time using the new oven and I was very happy with how evenly the crust browned.
-
Then I cleaned up the kitchen again and took the rest of the trash out.
-
Folded some laundry
-
Wrapped the pie and out it in the refrigerator
-
By then it was gone 1 am and exhausted I fell into bed
-
And that’s why I was never here last night
-
Beautiful selfie John
-
I am sorry about Stella’s woes and hope she is better today
-
Healing vibes for Elmore
-
I am sorry for Jane and Keith’s travel problems. Vibes everything runs smoothly today.
-
Well I better Wordle and get to work

I was planning to watch the Spaey documentary.....I have to jump through all kinds of hoops to get MAX to work....hopefully I can do so, but probably not until this weekend.
-
The next to last episode of YOUNG SHELDON last Thursday ended with the demise of the father, George.
It was very sad.....this week's episode will be the series finale....although Georgie, Jr. and his wife and daughter are being spun off into their series.
-
The producer/director has decided that we will do TWO episodes of the video series today.....so I have to work on scripting the surprise episode.
Maybe I'll just sit in a chair and do a voice over.

Beautiful pie, DR vixmom.

Or is he just one of several producers?

One of my Packard Humanities Institute colleagues wrote music for a Kevin Spacey production - Reichard III, maye? - and toured around the world with it. I know too much Spacey dirt. My advice is: believe ay least 4/5 of what dish you hear.

There's this Shriners Hospital TV ad using the song "If you're happy and you know it . . ." I'm a supporter of Shriners Hospital, but the poor pitch from the vocals drives me up the wall.

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep.
-
It's not a question of believing or not believing Mr. Spacey - it's a question of not giving him a chance to respond - he's very forthright in his interview that he did some of the things he was accused of - but the point is, Anthony Rapp lied and admitted it, and some of the gentlemen in the documentary, while alleging this or that happened, as even the documentary has to say, none of it rises to the criminal. Spacey even says that if it's true they should take him to court and let a jury decide. And that seems fair enough. I'm not on anyone's side here, and at the time these things allegedly happened, I'm sure we could all dredge up things from our past that would now get us cancelled or be deemed inappropriate, whether verbal or what they conveniently call unwanted touching. I'm sure I've put my arm around people for photos or some other function, I'm sure I've given people a hug and perhaps they didn't ask for it - that's what humans do but not anymore.

From an obit of Alice Munro, who has died at age 92. She was a brilliant short story writer.
“Everybody’s doing their own novel of their own lives,” she said. “The novel changes — at first we have a romance, a very satisfying novel that has a rather simple technique, and then we grow out of that and we end up with a very discontinuous, discordant, very contemporary kind of novel. I think that what happens to a lot of us in middle age is that we can’t really hang on to our fiction any more.”

Back from pasta papa and buying some pants and shirts - haven't done that for almost four years now. And one look in the mirror there whilst trying on said pants - well, that did it. I am not eating any desserts or sugar or pasta or potatoes or bread for some time to come. I am disgusting, gross, and unacceptable to look at.
-
DISGUSTING.

However, there was good news - books are arriving tomorrow.

I agree with you, BK, about the documentary's approach; I am aware that Mr Spacey has a lot of demons and a certain sense of entitlement that got him in troubler. There may be - what? - ten men in the documentary, but there are more keeping quiet.

BK, I gave up carbs for Lent and have lost 17 pounds so far.

Carbs are the very best food group. But, alas, I need to avoid it all.

Love the photos, DR John G.
-
Glad you are having a great trip.

My doctor said I should cut carbs.
My eyes shot him lasers and barbs.
He can't be serious
I'll be so delirious
But maybe I'll fit in my garbs.

So, besides the pasta papa this morning, I'll have some melon chunks for my snack in a little while and then nothing after seven o'clock.
-
Still so very tired and sleepy.

Bryan cooked Thai food for us as we wanted tofo. It was excellent.

As we wound down for the day Freyja got her energy back.

Exciting about the imminent arrival of BK's books.

Yes it is.

I can hardly keep my eyes only.

Guess I should get ready for bed which will wake me up.

I've gone about as fer as I can go.

Another excellent limerick from DR singdaw.

I would like to see that pants and shirts that MR BK got at pasta papa.....
-
But there is something to be said for nice full length mirrors making you unable to deny....the.....obvious.....

More rain and more rain and more rain for the next two days.....ENOUGH already.

-
Good morning, all.
-
Mom has been admitted to the hospital for at least an overnight stay. They are treating her for pneumonia.
-
Just watched the entirety of the Spacey clip. Having only heard BK’s description, and then hearing the allegations, the documentary sounds like thin gruel stretched for maximum salacious effect. It’s such a low standard. Have a high school classmate recount an incident from back then? I can completely believe Spacey was the kind of arrogant guy who forced himself on people. But nobody has shown any receipts yet.
-
So then you get 10 people with accounts stretching from dubious to questionable and then they can say “10 people came forward!”
-
I say this as someone who has never been a fan whatsoever. And just took the Rapp account at face value.
-
Now, there were a couple things I did not like in the Spacey rebuttal.
Commentator starts on about the “woke left.” Why does someone have to be either woke or left to find Spacey’s behavior, as described, reprehensible?
The term also shows he’s aiming for a certain audience. People who hate so-called cancel culture in principle, that is, people who want to go back to a time when sexual harassment was unchecked and rampant.
-
Another thing is, they chided some of the accusers for trying to get away by telling Spacey they had a girlfriend or were not gay. I think that’s a legitimate way to try to defuse a situation if you felt uncomfortable.
-
That said, Spacey seemed basically credible in his recall and admitting of some behaviors. And some of the accusers’ accounts bordered on the ridiculous. “He tried to make out with me, which made me uncomfortable, so I went to a movie with him the next day.”
-
But maybe these people seemed more credible in their interviews vs the descriptions Spacey was reading from.

Today, my niece and my friend Shelly came over to start to help me clean my place. ::)
-
I say "start" because it's going to take a while.
-
I don't really have the personal motivation to clean regularly (yet??) but they both are quite neat and tidy.
-
So they were very kind to come over and get me started.
-
Tomorrow, I'm going to go to my mom's to help her with some things around her house.
-
But then my niece and Shelly will come back over on Thursday to continue.
-
I don't know how long it'll take, but it needs to be done.
-
Today, we mostly went through my shirts and I culled them down to what I want to keep and what can be donated.
-
I really do have a sh*t-ton of shirts! ;D
-
But I like my shirts, so I kept most of the ones that still fit and will donate most of the ones that are either too big or too small.
-
I had piles of (clean) shirts that I'd forgotten about, so it was nice to rediscover some that do still fit.
-
And I was able to let go of nice shirts that I really like but I know don't fit.
-
My mom claims that I'm a hoarder, but I do NOT accept the hoarder label.
-
I do admit to being a procrastinator.
-
With my niece and Shelly here, I WAS able to get rid of things without much tsuris, which means I can't be a hoarder. ;)
-
Anyway, I still have a way to go, but the process has started.
-
Eventually, when everything is cleaned up and organized, I would like to get another cat or two.
-
It's been too long, and the main reason I haven't gotten another one is because of the clutter.
-
So, we'll see how long it takes to clean up, and how long it'll be before I get another cat or two.
-
My niece wants me to get a bonded pair from a shelter, and that's probably a good idea.
-
I once had way too many shirts. Hired an organizer for help.

I got the meal which includes fries and a drink, but the fries were overcooked and a bit too well done. :P
