Jody, who triggered John's obsession, should have been tried, too. She is clearly deranged. Anyway, they ask John how he's doing these days, and he said he's been spending time with his catts, painting pictures of his catts, and writing songs. Probably to his catts. So, you know he's generally a pretty decent guy. He's also performing summa his songs; don't know when, but it might be worth seeing, if i can afford the concert tickicks. See---i got PROJECTS to work on, plus managing the vegetation that grows like crazy, here. Yup. Wish meee luckkk.
okay---here's a bonus photo of Johns' unrequited crush and her wummun.(see photo). only---don't let John see this---it might trigger a relapse of insanity, and he might go on another mission to impress her. see what i mean? we don't want that to happen. nope. Thankk mee.Attachment 6556
okay---we/i interrupt this ongoing discussion to let everyone know about the passing of Diane Hall. Yup. She was in several mooo-vvveees, I guess, but the only good one was the one named after her. Yup. I'm gonna hafta go watch the clip on u-toob that has Hall, Allen and the dreanged brother, played by christopher Walken(see photo)riding in the brothers Porsche. But yeah--my guess is that Hall drank and smoked too much, which prolly led to her early demise. Hope that helps you some. Thankk mee.Attachment 6560
Public Radio did a review of House of Dynamite, new on Netflix. A modern day theme of nuclear attack on the US. I thought it was good, but jot great. Definitely worth watching.
The NYT had a feature titled 10 Old TV Series Every Kid Needs to Watch. I had fun coming up with my own list, although they had some good ones. I did try to find a rerun of Mannix.

You can watch it on Youtube or listen to it through where ever podcast are.(lol) They are taking an episode a week and talking about them, and include guests from various aspects of the show. There were initially some little irritating things, cut I've kept up and am actually enjoying it. It also has been re-watching the shows.
I will definitely check that out. I have been struck by how interesting the show is--I think I am enjoying it much more this time and did not appreciate it fully at the time.Quote:

Season 3 was strange. The season ended with a cliffhanger as season one and season two had ended, but the middle episodes were not great, although there are certainly some interesting bits. Honestly it seemed like some important clarifying scenes were left out.
No doubt there is a ton of worthless junk on uTube, but I can pick up a couple that I return back to occasionally. One I have enjoyed is Paul Santenello. He travels to out of the way places and does usually an hour long video where he interviews every day people to get a sense of place. He goes to ghettos and high end places. I had friends in the Outer Banks during the recent weather extreme and realized I had no idea of the area. I also recently caught one on Catalina Island, and another on Albuquerque, where I have friends. Some time ago I watched a series on the Amish, THey are not highly polished. He uses a go pro and they are high quality videos and audios. He's a nice man who truly seems to enjoy meeting people. They typically have millions of views. "videos about the world the media fails to capture."

I'm also on the third season of Dark Winds. It's a murder mystery series set in the four corners area with Navajo tribal police doing the investigations, after the Tony Hillerman novels.. For Hollywood it's fairly realistic and includes some traditional Navajo spiritual practices. It's produced by Robert Redford who makes a brief cameo appearance and looked very old. I read an article about Redford, and for a wealthy Hollywood star, seemed like a fairly normal good guy. I'd forgotten about Out of Africa, which was once a favorite of all times.
