A tiny baby sleeps nestled in fluffy blue blanket.
24 years ago today (still cant believe it), this kiddo made me a mom for the first time. Life hasn't been the easiest for you but I am proud of who you've become. Happiest of birthdays, baby boy.

... /2 wives and child and yet he never changed his ways. This is a largely autobiographical tale of director (and choreographer Bob Fossé- names changed of course), where he reflects on his ways, asks all the existential questions, and manifests his real life death several years later.

I have been waiting a long time for the opportunity to see this #movie and thanks to Crave I got to see it tonight - it lives up to its reputation. The thing that guts me the most is that it's the director's mea culpa of what he did to his ... /1

Indeed, its a big reason behind so much of the ultra right thinking and misinformation has gained such a stranglehold on our society. Its free and low effort, no need to go to third party sites to break paywalls, no need to ask the grandson to rig up or install browsers

Print media will often admonish the general population for being uninformed about big story politics, history, and science, yet works enthusiastically to essentially suppress and censor with paywalls. All the while, loading their content with advertising.

Oh to be a happy yellow dog running free on a winter's morn.

Taking the #dog for a solid walk this am. I'm not so mobile anymore but if given the opportunity she gives herself a good exercise. If I walk 5kms, she runs 15. When she's tired, she comes and noses her leash to tell me "we're done". #walk, #walkinthewoods, #blueskydogs

Little Grey cat sleeping contentedly beside little yellow dog
I interrupt this morning's book and coffee for an important breaking development. I cant take a better picture because the #dog is currently laying on my feet but this just might be the most content I've ever seen the #cat be around the dog

A regularly watch and rate #vampire #movies as a hobby. Today, it was Dracula, A Love Story, the trailer is in the comments. Despite not rating it high, this had perhaps the best portrayal of Dracula you are ever going to see

This one turns up a lot on my weekend Playlists that I listen to while reading. Very soft and meditative. You can never go wrong with Pärt.

One of my favourite weird niche film genres is horror musicals and having grown up on the ocean, am semi-obsessed with mermaids. This did not disappoint.
Two great Friday recommends in a row! Thank you!
The scene with the Teslas freaked me out so badly I vowed I was never going to own a smart car.

His father, Thomas-Alexandre Dumas was a popular (and handsome) General of the French Army under Napoleon Bonaparte, although there seemed to have been some friction between the two.

My suspicion though is that Trump has served his usefulness in terms of getting Republicans in power and this is how he goes down. My son and I have both been certain he only would only serve half term.

My son reminded me that somehow I had forgotten to watch Groundhog's Day, a yearly habit I have been engaging in for most my life. I could have used the reminder of some key lessons
