Is this is real?!?

I just watched the preview and yes, it is real.

It is great, isn’t it? Every city should have their own.
(But also, No, they shouldn’t because this is pretty special)

1. Visit my mom
2. Have as many breakfasts as possible at Lovejoy Bakers
3. Work (remotely)
4. Japanese Garden
5. Hike a bunch of the Wildwood Trail
6. Powell’s
7. Too many restaurants to mention

Portland Oregon old town sign

Trip to Portland OR is booked for one month from now and I cannot wait!

Thank goodness for noise cancelling headphones because the drunks in this restaurant are getting an early and loud start tonight.

The Long Goodbye (1973) ORIGINAL TRAILER [HQ] YouTube video by Unseen Trailers

No livestream today as I'm putting the finishing touches on a script, but instead please enjoy this absolutely UNHINGED trailer for The Long Goodbye, which by 70s standards I suppose would pass as a "comedy" www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsZA...

Georges Simenon’s Maigret Goes To School

This weekend’s read was a good one.

Selfie

Powers restored, but then I worked out at the gym so it got a little bit messy again.

No, only 10 year increments.

My dad did not let us have a tv. Of course it was the first purchase my mom made after he left us when I was in the first grade.

Blu rays of I Walked with a Zombie/7th Victim, Michael Haneke: Trilogy, House Party and Perfect Days

My Criterion haul from their flash sale arrived today.
Good movie nights are ahead!

I haven’t seen it since it originally came out and I was with my mom. Main thing I remember is how indignant my mom was that Michael Douglas mispronounced Symantec because she worked for them at the time.

I’d suggest Norwegian Wood. It was the first one that I read of his and it worked for me (obviously). Plus, it’s a reasonable 300 pages so it’s less intimidating than his longer tomes.

After dark by Haruki Murakami

Finished this book yesterday and I think it’s my favorite Mirakami so far.

Selfie in cafe

Rarest of the rare: a no meeting day! Went to the gym and am now working from a cafe which is a treat because they have free refills on iced tea. I’m recovering from yesterday’s non-stop stress eating anxiety.

Here’s hoping that this Taco Tuesday is a TACO Tuesday because WTF is the US even doing?

It was only $2 since I already have an Alamo subscription.

Selfie

2 male dancers in Egyptian style short shorts

Gonna watch The Best of Betty Boop just for the sake of doing something random on a Monday night. The preshow dance clips are wild.

My favorite thing about Easter is the 50% off chocolate candy on Monday.
Although I have fond memories of all the standard activities as a kid… Easter egg hunt, baskets, ham for dinner etc.

Selfie

Almost the same selfie

Cheers to the weekend! Only a few more hours until the “He is Risen” posts start making the rounds… both the nudes and the occasional surprise earnest post too.

Nooo!!!

Gatchaman: The Movie, also known as Battle of the Planets on American tv.

Wait wait wait wait… hold on! Criterion Channel added what today?
This was my favorite show when I was a kid.

Here are my top 10 WORST dogs!

Selfie with Quo Vadis marquee

Another biblical epic… which I probably never would have watched if it wasn’t playing here on the big screen. It’s not my thing but this was my late aunt’s favorite so I’m glad I got to see it in memory of her.

Selfie with sign keep cons out of our constitution

Heyyyy!!!

Selfie at They Will Kill You

They Will Kill You ticket

Same theater, same seat, and practically the same plot as last week at this same time.

Selfie at Scream 7 movie

Ew boy, this is going to suck, isn’t it? Hopefully my low expectations will make it palatable.

It’s only 2 movies so I wouldn’t call it a franchise yet. 😉 It’s great if you enjoy violent thrillers with an occasional comic touch.

I liked it as much as the first one. 😀

Selfie with Ready or Not 2 movie poster.

Hell yes, I’m ready.
