Are Octopi the new Penguins?

Thanks guys!

Congrats to both of you!

Well done, Maggie!

I did try to get new tires before I drove for an hour and 45 minutes to the Lake House on Sunday afternoon. And then back on Monday morning. I really did!!

The license plates don’t bother me at all. Stick it to the man. I’m just all about the safety. I think it’s the engineering training.

163 minutes is a long time to sit through a movie. Especially a movie like Blade Runner. If you watch some of the trailers you can see scenes with Sapper Morton (the first replicant K meets) that weren’t in the theatrical version. That doesn’t surprise me though. I’ve read the first Blade Runner was over four hours long.

Movies like these should really just be made into two separate parts. It’d flesh the story and characters out more while also giving me a chance to pee.

When it rains while I’m driving, the front end will often sway left and right because it has very little grip. That makes me a little nervous and even more so when I’m going over a bridge.

I live on the edge, though. I don’t even have valid license plates.

Your tires are making me cringe. I’ve never seen a tire that worn, probably because it would literally be impossible to get out of the driveway with them during a Canadian winter.

Thankies. Sometimes I have to schedule time to be present with Maggie and I don’t like that. But I do like it when the schedule comes around.

Chocolate will do a sweet tooth just fine as well.

Yes. Either that or chocolate.

Cool. It feels like you’re present in the moment. Happy for you.

I thought I wrote this to everyone. Apparently not. The first thing I said is that it reminded me of “The Dark Knight”.

I needed a new paragraph because I saw Dark Knight 3 or 4 days after the Colorado shootings. When the movie starts up, there’s a shoot-out (my memory, not always the most reliable) and it is rock concert loud. Then the movie blew me away.

Back to Blade Runner 2049. I wrote that it was like Dark Knight with the soundtrack and the cinematography. Sometimes with these movies it bugs me that they’re so darkly lit. The measure of light needs to include some light to measure.

I loved Blade Runner 2049 for the first 2 hours. I could’ve done without the last 30 mins or so. I hear that it’s an American thing but rarely does a movie need to last more than 2 hours, especially a thriller/adventure/sci-fi thing. I loved how it was part of the original story.

(Briefly) I LOVED the GIRLS! It was part of the original movie and these girls worked this time too.

Haha! 😄😄

And we can dress real neat. From our hands to our feet. And surprise them with a victory cry.

And ya, I never been cool either.

I just watched the video for Stay again. I wanted to like it. I really did. And it wasn’t half bad with the sound off. 😉
