My three resolutions for this year.
1/  see two movies in the theatre each month.
2/  Translate a Russian novel into English.  (Yes, I've already chosen the novel which has no English translation.)
3/  Bring one of my novels to a publishable level.

It's also bitterly cold in Canada.  I'm going to stay in and read.

All the Things She Said – Simple Minds

(The video did not age well, starting with that Cosby sweater, LOL!)

Youtube Video

I got past the sweater.  I didn't get past the mullet.

Rewatching David Bowie's "Let's Dance" from 1983 - it feels fresh and relevant to 2017.

I'm planning on seeing this next week.

I'm looking forward to A Wrinkle in Time.

David Bowie - Lazarus

I've sucked on one real monster cock (he said 13 inches).  But there were other pecularities with his anatomy.  Instead of ejaculating the cum backed up into his bladder and had to be pissed out afterwards.

Some of the monster cocks don't actually get hard.

It got dark here at 4:30 and my energy is drained.  I made Canadian chili (with dark flemish beer) and I'll make Beef carbonade after New Years.

You can always stop watching a movie if you don't like it.  Go for it.

Watch some porn.

Getting licked.

jogging or running

Similar to my fondue pot.  I use it once or twice a year but I'm happy to have it when I want it.  Get the ice-cream maker.

Make a beef carbonade today?

Scenic trail

Hulu or Haka

Since you like Black Mirror - which I didn't - I'll apply what I'm doing with Killjoys.

Download them and save them for the end of bleak January.

Start my research project tomorrow then wait until January second to keep working or just take tomorrow off and start on January second.

Fuck - Bashful - he's sweet
Marry - Doc - my mother always wanted me to marry a doctor
Kill - Grumpy - too much competition

Guys from The Librarians - can go by actors.
Flynn/Noah Wyle, Jacob/Christian Kane, Ezekiel/John Harlan Kim

Black olives

More travel to exotic islands.  Tonga or Jamaica

I hate giving ratings for movies.  It doesn't acknowledge that people enjoy DIFFERENT things.  What one person will regard as irrelevant will ruin the movie for another person and vice versa.

I liked Star Wars:  The Last Jedi a lot.  I like the carry through on themes:  do we integrate our past into our present; what are meaningful sacrifices as opposed to egotism; look closer at things.  I like that someone who understands religious philosophy 'fixed' the Jedi religion.  I like that someone looked at human history at what happens when someone kills the King.  (Hint - Rome did not revert to being the Roman Republic when Julius Caesar was assassinated.)  I feel that this movie was well-done and an excellent set-up for the conclusion of this trilogy:  Kylo Ren has become the antagonist he was meant to be, Poe is set up to be the Rebel commander, Rey is set-up as the founder of an order who embrace the Light without being scared of the Dark.

I do not need to see yet another story of 'white male triumphant'.  I like female characters with agency.  I know a lot of the Rapid Puppies are irate at having a women of colour with lines and character development - who didn't even dress in a slave girl costume.

If they're in good condition is there somplace to donate them?

Toronto is having a cold alert day - stay inside or go to the library

Never mind.  I repeated myself.

I also like non-butch tops with butch bottoms.

I was given an addition to the Schroediger/Heisenberg joke.

Einstein was also in the car.  He told the policeman that it's not possible to surpass the speed limit.

If the appearance is important it's time for a new one.  Toronto is too windy for an umbrella to wear out.

I have noticed that The Force Awakens is very polarizing.  People who love science fiction as opposed to space opera tend to consider this to the best of the mainline Star Wars movies.  People who prefer adventure hate this movie.

Buy lots of Christmas candy now that it's on sale?

Definitely Mulan.  I have an anecdote about each.

I was working in an office designed to do AIDS outreach for Indigenous populations when Pocohantas came out.  A group had been invited to a pre-screening of Pocohantas.  The door slammed open as the group who had just seen the movie stalked into the room muttering about the "fucking white people".

I saw Mulan with a friend the last day it was at the theatres in Toronto.  We were the only non-chinese in the audience.  Everyone except us laughed at certain scenes.  Everyone except us sighed at certain scenes.  Leaving the movie, we heard grandparents with their children and grandchildren excitedly explaining subtle points about the movie.

The Force Awakens or Jumanji

I have a cousin who is a Drag Queen and one of my great-aunts came out in the 1920s.

BTW, the observation is that the more older brothers a man has the more likely he is to become gay.  I'm the oldest and have only sisters.
They know for certain that while there MIGHT be genetic links that genes are insufficient.
