Never a green light At the pelican crossing An old flame sweeps past #cityverse

Rewatched Sleepless in Seattle today after 25 years or so. Barely remembered it. Even by rom-com standards, it didn't make a lot of sense. Nevertheless, a charming movie.

How was your date? Disappointing. Sorry. What happened? We were both nice. That's bad? No. Well... Yes. Explain. We knew before the main dish that there wouldn't be a second date. That sucks. Yeah. It became a clash of niceness after that. A very polite game of chicken. #vss365

Explain your username: The kakapo is an owl-parrot native to Newzealand. Because of a lack of natural predators it evolved into being flightless. Then... predators arrived on NZ. It's a clumsy and awkward bird. I love it. Ou is Japanese for King. So, Kakapou is wordplay for Kakapo King.

The older I get, the fewer things I *have* to say.

Watched all six seasons of Lucifer. Fun show. Some interesting themes. A few complaints, but overall, it was an easy watch.

I absolutely hate it when a show I'm otherwise enjoying, introduces a love triangle situation.

War is a symptom. Of what? The human condition. I don't agree. Nevertheless, it stays true. We can live as humans without waging war. And I say we cannot. If we did, it would mean we had transcended humanity. You see only the worst in us. Hope eludes you. But truth does not. #vss365
