Day: October 10, 2023

he has a headache

So it’s okay that I didn’t post yesterday.

Continuing Vera rewatch; watched E1S1 of ‘Sprung’ with Garret Dillahunt and Martha Plimpton and loved it, finally we have a funny show to watch that isn’t all grimdark and serious.

Watched “A Million Miles Away” about the remarkable life story of José Hernández, who began life as a migrant farm worker and managed to become a mission specialist for NASA. Absolutely wonderful; it takes the world’s tiredest biopic tropes and with a light touch, heartfelt acting and a fantastic soundtrack, breathes vibrancy, hope and family love into them and makes them dance like a quinceañera. mOm and pOp let us know if you want to see it; I think you’ll both like it.

If Rosa Salazar doesn’t get an Oscar Nom for Adela Hernández I will be bitter. Bitter I tell you. Jeff pointed out she was the body model for Alita Battle Angel. ZOW

Alex is coming today – and obvs for the rest of the week, too. I got to see him at church but this will be better.

Appointment with Paul tomorrow over noon with an eye specialist.

Hope you’re all going to have a lovely day. Now for more coffee, a scrambled egg or two on toast, and possible I will sit with my coffee and make a list to ignore.

Which will turn into a poem.

Do you have any idea how often that’s happened to me? Ah me, the hazards of a writer’s life. (which is actually a reference to a poem I wrote which started as a list…)

I am not entirely sure what kind of a day I’m going to have, but I’m wearing leakproof underwear, so let’s just say I’ve made minor preparations.
