Wackadoo or wackadoo-not.
There is no wacka-try.
I live in a world where only one human cast member of Alf is still alive. The concept of “Alf” outliving everybody is no longer… alien.

Just submitted my ballot for LMGI nominations. I gladly voted against the show whose Location Manager last year threatened to sue any and all of their colleagues during a craft-wide zoom meeting if anyone got in their way. Bad behavior doesn’t deserve accolades.

It HAS occurred to me that one of my motives in helping others in the film industry gain access to union membership is so they have health insurance that covers the therapy sessions they’ll need while working in the film industry.

I wasn’t alive during the bicentennial, and I may not be alive during the tricentennial (if there IS one). But hey… the 250th is sucking so badly, there’s really nothing to celebrate… unless you just really like has-beens and child molesters.

You don’t normally wake up and learn a movie you Location Managed five years ago is adding a deceased actor to the cast via A.I., but hey… every day anymore is a rich tapestry of unpredictability, so my mind was going to be blown today by something happening in the world anyway.

If you’re an attorney and you say defen-DANT, then … you’re, like… weird.

No one:

No one at all:

Me, spontaneously, as if I’m in a Quaker meeting: I don’t think “Archie Bunker’s Place” is essential, and if the show had to continue past Gloria & Mike’s departures, it should have ended with Edith’s death. And “The Jeffersons” deserved a final episode.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

We’re less than 10 hours away from knowing if the Fiesta Tableware Company is going to devastate its loyal customers again. That’s right… new color announcement tomorrow morning.

My cynicism tells me a gray or granite blue, perhaps a new yellow variation. Or a faint pastel 🤮

Me: “Oh, such and such highway construction project in random state is about to get underway? I better study satellite imagery then spend the next 2 hours reading that entire region’s longterm transportation improvement program to see if I’m satisfied with their choices.”

Anthony Geary was 1/2 the pinnacle of daytime drama in the U.S. in the late 70s & early 80s, which can never been repeated. He returned in the 90s & willingly took part in course-correcting the darker parts of that earlier legacy, at the risk of alienating fans. And brilliantly.
General Hospital legend Anthony Geary died on Sunday at the age of 78.
Geary, who lived in the Netherlands died from complications of a scheduled operation three days earlier.

Is it weird that my expectations for how 2026 will go are partly based upon the next new color of Fiestaware?

Me: I wonder if I should be screened for neurodivergence?

Me Minutes Later: What do you mean Oklahoma got approval from AASHTO Route Numbering Committee to rename Muskogee Tpk. to I-343??? There’s no parent I-43 within OK to justify this atrocity! They’re breaking the system!!!

I wish I had the power to heal the pain of all those who would destroy or deplete me.

With corn for crunch and oats for punch, I hope everyone’s Halloween stayed crunchy, even in milk!

Just me, having morning coffee.
Happy Rapture Day 2025!

Though I still have days where anxiety affects my capacity for clear verbal comms without a degree of stammering, I’m now 20 years from my low point where such profound self-editing produced speech that occurred at a crawl, unless rehearsed or outlined prior for presentation…

It’s fair to say the new #nakedgunmovie is much more scatological.

The same people who declared #SoundOfFreedom a great film and a siren for protecting children are doing backflips to defend their president, a documented sexual predator and credibly-accused pedophile who was good friends with a notorious sex trafficker of underage victims.

Sometimes I just want to scream. Then I remember I’m a baritone/bass with a monotonous range, so I just moan loudly and move on.

Happy Juneteenth!
Just a reminder that Critical Race Theory isn’t just theory, it’s history. And if we can afford endless wars and tax breaks for billionaires, we can afford reparations and universal healthcare.
