We've All Got Things We'd Rather Be Doing Than War.

However Hamas insisted on war. So it's Hamas' war we're still having. In a desperate effort to paper over the cracks though; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13279907/Michelle-Rodriguez-Carmen-Vandenberg-frolic-beach.html http://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2020/12/swat-apology.html Michelle Rodriguez is openly bisexual. Certainly openly enough that I've got to hear about it. I joke about how a gong sounds. Every time a young man starts to realise all the things they just didn't mention in any those recruiting videos. However sound only travels so far. In the movie adaptation of; "S.W.A.T" Michelle Rodriguez played the non-specific Hispanic "Christina - 'Chris' - Sanchez" character. Particularly in the US in 2003 it was an extremely negative assumption. That a woman in a traditionally male job, such as a SWAT officer, must be gay. The movie's producers felt that a US audience in 2003 just couldn't cope with any girl-on-gir...

Nooo. I Certainly Won't Be Watching That During This Phase Either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Days_of_Mercy Although I should say that while skimming, rather than reading, a contemporaneus review I did find myself thinking;  "*tuts* She's trying far too hard to convince us she's a lesbian." AND NOW WE KNOW WHY!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQwB4Grs9gE&pp (Crystal Chandeliers, Charley Pride, Country, Official Audio).

Now. Would Anyone Like To See A Photo Of My Notes?

Fetch Me My Tenant Saw!

I'm about to go saw up some tenants. Whatever do you mean; "About the first time I've ever seen that written down(!)" But fear not. I've still got a mighty box! Yeah. If it's lost more teeth than you....

Yeah. I Noticed That At The Time.

I did not have the best of days on March 11th (11/3). Despite the twin parties of the Oscars and, finally!, finishing a six week gym cycle which had started back in 2023. I had to get up super early to find that rarest of things in Britain these days - an NHS Dentist. In order to sort out a wisdom tooth I broke the previous week, whilst eating soup. While I was doing that my father discovered that he couldn't start his car. Meaning that I had to learn about and source a jump starter - a lithium ion battery pack you can use to jump start a car. As we needed that five minutes ago I also had to activate an Amazon Prime subscription, with next day delivery.  Depending on your perspective March 11th also marked the start of Ramadan. Like Amazon Prime subscriptions Ramadan lasts for a month. So I, weirdly, ended up getting an Amazon Prime subscription for Ramadan. Having paid for unlimited delivery I also got new work boots and curtain rods. Super exciting. https://twitterwithbraincells....

Yeah. I've Turned My Window Into A Lamp.

I told you it was a whole new concept in window covering design. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2023/12/merry-christmas-war-is-over.html After a saga that has lasted for months and cost hundreds of pounds. Today I took down the blinds Hillarys had fitted. Then refitted them myself.  I wouldn't go so far as to say they've done anything wrong. It's just that has always been the most frustrating part of this whole thing. The knowledge that I can do it better, cheaper. For example they've used cheap squeezable plastic spacers to align the blinds. Where I custom made ones out of wood. Not that I'd want to pay a stranger to be in my house for the time that took. Particularly as they're painted. The main blind is mounted into the wall over the frame. In doing this Hillarys didn't factor in the frame. So the blind rubs up against it, damaging the blind and making it difficult to open and close. So I used different wooden spacers to bring the blind forwar...

Going To The Effort Of A Big, Coordinated Push Doesn't Mean It's Going To Be Successful.
