Elsa and I got a rare chance to go to a concert. We saw the Jesus and
Mary Chain at the Showbox. I liked the show and venue a lot.
For at least three pix, for some reason my timing was terrible (or impeccable depending on how you look at it) and I got the pics right as the lights were flashing bright so it looks like
the stage was exploding. See below.
Monti was collecting wood in the woods tonight on a hike. She is building a cruise ship. Not to be confused with an Ark, she says I’m the captain, she’s the cruise director, etc. Everyone has a job, including all her friends. I asked what the name of the ship is and she says it’s the NarniaSpiderWickChroniclesIndianaJones. I suppose you should thrown an SS in front of that or maybe an HMS.
She says she needs a lot of steel as well.
Monti:”Dad can you do that thing you do and do it in Talus”
me:”?????”
M:” You know, selling and stuff”
me:”????”
M:” You know – go see customers ”
She wanted me to go through Talus and sell tickets to people for the cruise… like I do with my Apple customers.
I just finished Takedown by Brad Thor. I give it a solid ‘don’t bother’. It was your standard U.S. elite commando guy kills the bad guys. Honestly the sequence at the end where said good guy kills the top bad guy (boss level?) was particularly evil. Maybe I don’t have as much a taste for these types of things anymore but I thought it was too over the top – too black and white. It wasn’t enough for the bad guy to just be a terrorist, he had to be of middle eastern descent, had to be homosexual and the icing on the cake – a pedophile. How many ways can we hate him? Let us count! I recall liking most Vince Flynn books I’ve read so maybe just not a big Brad Thor fan.
My rating – 3/10.
