Getting ready to leave our weekend adventure house. I only followed four of these rules ‘cause I’m a rebel.

Snazzy wedding venue

Went to downtown Nisswa for breakfast. Super cute, charming shopping area.

Best film adaptation of the Odyssey, wrong answers only.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @paxholley.com!!! I made you a cake.

Went to a great pizza party tonight.

The average American has three friends

Happy Fry Day to those who celebrate.

Give me your favorite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor. DeForest Kelley made a lot of Westerns, but my favorite of them is Warlock (1959).

Good!

Quote with your vibe if you were a vampire.

This week's movie queue. I didn't do super well on my Baskerville-heavy list last week, so I'm slowing down that project and adding back in a bunch of other stuff.

Headed from Wales back into England. A stop in the beautiful Royal Forest of Dean, for a night in Clearwell. Just down the road, Puzzlewood, we've never visited, amazing place, enchanted woods, Star wars filmed there besides others, inspired Tolkien, worth a visit. #forestofdean #puzzlewood

GUYS! Can we start the Friday dance party early?

I'm gonna be on the road tomorrow, so this week I'm doing New Thursday. New Favorites. 2020s edition. Three of these (not Emma) I've only seen once. I loved them, but they're reason for me to get on my project of revisiting all my 5-star one-watches.

I’m simply in love with this marvellous collection of characters created by Cat Johnston! #art #beautifulbizarre #catjohnston #popsurrealism #sculpture #lowbrowart

Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash This was one of my dad's albums from when I was a kid. I inherited a few of them, but there are three - including this one - that I automatically think of whenever Johnny Cash comes up.

I could look at bluebells all day long. That actually sounds like a great way to spend a day.

Who's this at Otis and Erska's door? Episode 5 of OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE is up to read! Webtoons: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ou... Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/157529... Read from the beginning: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ou...

Entering Lothlórien.

Without stating your age post your favorite film released the year you turned 18

It's bluebell season here on Dartmoor. Folklore tells us they are loved by the fairies, and as such they are dangerous. A child alone in a bluebell wood might be whisked Under the Hill and never seen again, while adults can find themselves lost for days, or years, until the fairy spell is broken.

Listening to lots of Bing Crosby, which is pleasant background music. The Legendary Years collection is a box set, so it's taking me a while to get through that one. #MusicLibraryAtoZ

Morning walk

I re-read 30 Days of Night last year and have been itching to revisit Dark Days. I still love it. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Wouldn't this be a nice day to be paddling about the Brandywine in a little boat and then off to Brandy Hall for a fine supper with Old Rory? #Tolkien

Still Baskervillin'

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

The Cars - Heartbeat City album THIS is my favorite Cars album!

Next on the book pile:

All Pet Shop Boys is good and I really do like their 2018 Bilingual album, but Billy Idol's self-titled lives deep in my heart. "White Wedding" changed my life. #MusicLibraryAtoZ

The Minnesota Star Tribune won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for its coverage of a shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church last summer.

And it has Matthew Rhys and Stephen Root? I'm in.

So saddened by the loss of a William Bruce West. A fellow I never had the pleasure to meet, but was always happy to hear on the podcasts I listen to. Rest in Peace, Will. You were so loved.

if you were starting a band, which horror movie title are you recycling? Last Night in Soho

Ralph McQuarrie

Happy Orson Welles Day!

We had to say goodbye to Luke today. We are very sad. He was the best boy and we miss him already.

The Cars - The Cars album I don't always remember how much I love The Cars. This isn't even my favorite album of theirs, but every song on it is great.

Backed. I have Volume 1 and it's a bottomless source of inspiration.

Done with my 1975 album project. On to 1976! That's a good Stevie Wonder album.

Next on the book pile: (Just realized they didn't put Stephanie Barron's name on the front cover. That's weird.)

Samara Weaving has gone on my I'll Watch Anything With Her In It list. "A young woman joins a charming con man on the run, leaving a trail of crime and passion as they hustle through the Southeast in search of her estranged mother." (IMDb)

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop (1969)
