Well that was most of my Christmas evening

I went to a presbyterian church and there were some music, stained glass and some kids. I've been there many times but it's so different now because the pandemic. There was a huge screen with words and CC in a church that's a weird place - nobody ever reads the hymnal - it seems like everything is on the Internet or social media. There were about 50 people but maybe 10 of those souls were singing hymns.

I actually enjoyed being there I was watching the kids for doing that stories in the Bible.

Almost everything has changed the variant covid19.000 then covid19.001 et infinitum

The little helper gave it with a brass/gold plate to get the offering - before the C19
Now they give this little stick with scooped leather as like lacrosse stick

And also I went to get some chicken soup and cornbread - Barefoot Cafe. For someplace they give me free food when I go there. And they like me like a New Yorker anyway. I do say with the F word but usually with a please

I've got some chocolate left. And whole milk. And invisibility anonymous

Here’s a flick
Emily the Criminal

Guardian magazine

"Emily the Criminal review – Aubrey Plaza charges taut thriller
A gig worker turns to credit card fraud in a tense debut feature with an electrifying central performance

It’s hard to really blame Emily (Aubrey Plaza) for choosing a life of crime. A low-paid service gig brings nothing but stress. A seemingly inescapable student loan is gathering interest by the day. A couple of minor, years-back criminal charges have closed off a world of employment. It’s a familiar predicament that plagues many in America and even though first-time writer-director John Patton Ford might only show it in the broadest of strokes, it’s an effectively infuriating set-up.

When Emily is offered an opportunity for an extra income, she nervously inches down the rabbit hole. It starts off simple. She’s given a cloned credit card and has to buy a TV. She then takes it to her new bosses and gets paid $200. It’s easier than she anticipated and soon she’s doing it on the regular, edging closer to taskmaster Youcef (Theo Rossi) who slowly becomes more than her mentor. But how far is she willing to go?

Emily the Criminal is mostly as straightforward as its title, a punchy, pared-down little thriller about a woman rising in confidence as she falls deeper into a criminal underworld. Contemporary nods to gig economy aside, it’s a tale as old as time, of someone spurned by the system they once followed, that little voice telling them to stop gradually being silenced and while Ford isn’t trying to excuse Emily, he’s keen to try to explain her. From the stark opening scene, as a job interview turns to mulch in front of her, we see not just a barely contained frustration but a simmering fury, and every time there’s another ignominy, no matter how tiny, it chips away, pushing her closer to a world free from the same rules that have kept her trapped.


There are some fantastically charged moments of suspense – Emily trying to buy a car and drive away before the bank is called, a genuinely jolting confrontation with a double-crossing client – and Ford has a knack for making us sweat without relying on an over-egged score or over-stacked stakes. It’s a genre movie with its feet firmly on the ground, small in scale and tight in focus. Plaza, an actor with a history of bringing out her finest work at Sundance (from The Little Hours to Black Bear to a career-best turn in Ingrid Goes West), is incredibly engaging here, a rare dramatic role that demands only the tiniest moments of comedy. The script, which at times can be a little rushed, requires some major leaps for the character but she works hard to make us buy them, never urging us to agree with what she’s doing and how she’s doing it but never causing us to second-guess her. There’s also a crackling chemistry with Rossi even if some of the crime world plotting gets a little thin as the film hurtles toward a finale of no return.

If Ford doesn’t quite stick the landing – a late-stage backstory reveal is pretty limp, the final scene a little underwhelming – the journey there is more than worth it, an on-form Plaza drawing us close even when he briefly loosens his grip. It’s an undeniably striking debut, slick and involving enough to have us curiously excited for whatever he decides to do next."

Enjoy your beautiful day

Chicken breast, french fries w/catsup, avocados, tomato, green onions, Misteak Salad Dressing, and spices. And whole milk..... then chocolate for dessert

I had two plates ......I decided to do it just one plate and a salad with everything

The first picture was the salad

Thank you Forumites for my birthday - I'm still vertical/horizontal. I had some caffeine not coffee just chocolate. They'll be more caffeine.

I didn't see people at my senior building - that's wonderful. All I did was wave to them I didn't say hello some of it but most of them can't hear shit (CHS) anyway. I could see anything and they wouldn't even know I'm going to say.

Next topic (egads)
I’ve been doing some paperwork I'm looking for another job as a bus driver - the passengers are seniority - I stopped my other job.
I've been dealing with my 7 years work with difficult issues. My work manager has a little (WKS), is a brain disorder. Thiamine depletion is seen in individuals with poor nutrition and is a common complication of long-term heavy drinking. The memory is really difficult - people that has this they can't remember something they have to tell somebody or they'll say something that's not correct and they says “I’m right anyway”…….. ditto egads

Back to the normal day….
So I played some piano Bach Chopin in a little bit. I had a smoothie, few gummies, chocolate bars and five hotdogs. Water. I did some writing poetry crosswords. Some of it is therapy and some of it just screwing around

The last sentence
It’ll be coffee ice cream with chocolate syrup

Aloha

G’nite

I can do: mask (wear half the mask), self-test before every two weeks, get that airflow moving. I will be a healthy soul season. I got a influenza flu and COVID-19 booster. I've been very careful..... I'm still alive ..... "still weird"

If you haven’t gotten one yet, it’s never too late.
