Listening to Casey Kasem’s year-end countdown of 1970 on IHeart radio. A pretty chill start to the day! Too bad I have to work later. Oh, well.

I really need a different job. I hate it here.

At least I finished a couple of books at the beginning of this year. I do love royal history (well, history in general). Trying to stay positive. #booksky #history

Starting off another year of opening the internet & saying - what fresh hell is this?

Stop the world, I want to get off. Apparently the US can bomb other countries, kidnap their leaders & no one will stop 🍊. WTF. Nobody wants this.

Happy heavenly birthday to a very underrated actor - Dana Andrews! #filmsky

Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney, Clifton Webb, Vincent Price and Judith Anderson star in Otto Preminger's classic murder mystery film “LAURA” (1944) 🎬 20th Century-Fox 🎞 #FilmNoir

F1: The Movie (2025). Another film that’s probably a half hour too long, but great to see Kerry Condon & Javier Bardem. Nice Hans Zimmer score. #filmsky

Why do modern movies always seem to be 2 1/2 to 3 hours long (or longer)? I’m in shock if one happens to be less than 2 hours.

New Year's Day 🥳🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

Walking anywhere after it snows is such a pain. Not only do I have to be careful that I don’t slip on the ice, but there are the snow plows, snow blowers, maniacs with shovels. I hate it. Some idiot on a four wheeler almost ran me over as he was plowing his driveway. I’m so tired.

Happy heavenly birthday to one of my favorite actors, Dana Andrews. #BOTD Photo taken by John Florea in 1944.
