Happy Birthday Kathey, TV overload

 Because you can never go wrong with a picture of Harry, that's the reason.  Had an entire day with kids at Andrew's yesterday and watched waaaaay too much TV.  With all the carbs I consumed, I should be running a marathon today.  But I'm not.  It's a rather gloomy morning but supposed to improve later.  

The residents had a surprise 50th birthday party yesterday for our favorite rental agent, Kathey.  She brings a smile to the sourest soul in the place and brings me a little sunshine when I need it.  I wish her well as she embarks on the next half century.  

Still plagued with a sore shoulder from my bowling adventure of last week.  Its probably not a good hobby for me at this point in my life.  Looking out a cloudy window in Southfield this morning.  Needed to move away from TV after about 10 hours of continuous watching yesterday.  

Some reviews of stuff i saw yesterday: 

Samaritan starring Sylvester Stallone; in a word, dreadful, poorly written, with single word speeches by Sly as the so called hero.  The premise is not intriguing at all, probably has some comic book reference.  Do laundry or fold sheets instead of wasting your time on this one.

Tomorrow War starring Chis Pratt.  This has a decent premise and he does an at least adequate job being the Dad/hero.  The alien monsters are exceptional however, somewhat akin to the Demogorgon from Stranger Things.  This is a show you should watch with a 12 year old and a bowl of popcorn.

World War Z a Brad Pitt semi-epic with, you guessed it, zombies.  We don't know the origin of condition but it seems every one has it except for a few good looking characters.  I would have liked to be an extra in this with all the dreadful makeup and the chomping teeth.  It's another one to watch with your 12 year old nephew.

A Thief his wife and a Canoe; main character John Darwin has gotten himself into a dreadful financial condition with borrowing.  There is no way out for him save  bankruptcy.  He hatches a plot to fake his death and collect insurance money.  His weak willed wife Anne goes along with the scheme.  This is a true story from Jolly old England.  Both characters are brilliantly played.  On Prime and definitely worth seeing.  It is a four episode series.

Its about 830 and everybody is still sleeping here.  I am about to turn on the news and get pissed off/bored.

that's it

all for now

stay safe
