There is a hotel in Britain that has 

"Lion, wolf, bear, tiger ----

glass lodges... 

Where carnivores,uh, come up to the windows 

and "interact" with you..?

Interact in this case is defined as, very dangerous animals

 attempt to figure out how to get through the glass and 

eat your rich, stupid face off--?

What could possibly..?

well you know the rest...

iatrophobia 

An abnormal or irrational fear of doctors or going to the doctor. 

The toughest thing i do now is actually going
to the Dr.'s for my twice yearly heart check-up.
My Doc is a sweetheart--really it's not his fault.
I just hate it, fear it...
I keep a blood pressure log in-between
appointments because when I go in there
my blood pressure is off the charts,
having a six month log of my "normal" blood pressure
prevents the Dr. from thinking my fear level is a normal state,
thereby drugging me
close to unconsciousness...?
I'm irrational i know--?

Knowing something is irrational doesn't 
help at all...
You're still irrational...

Everything turned out OK at the visit
by the way....!

I did some work on my,
build an Esquire copy project...
this week...
I cut out my new pick guard...

I laid out a few parts to the body,
 test fitted the neck and tuners, 
just to see how things might possibly look/fit...

I am going to keep the control plate
black but I feel the pick guard looks 
pretty good..?
Sort of really Rockabilly--?
Rockabilly

I need to file/sand the edges of the pick guard..
or cut one more with cleaner edges....
which I may do..?

The next construction step is

 drilling the neck attachment screw holes
and the tuner attachment hole screws....?

Years ago I purchased a Casio G-Shock GA-100

g-shock/ga100-1a1

unfortunately I thought the super bright yellow,

would be a needed change from my usual black watches...

Well--Uh-No...?

Just too too much Yellow for me...

So I am going to mod it..

Try to tone the yellow down some--?

I've ordered a grey NATO strap and adapters 

to replace the yellow band..

and a dial guard in black..

Modding G-Shocks is difficult so we'll have to see

how this project turns out in the end...?

So Netflix has cancelled
MST3K..
mst3k canceled-netflix

This so truly, rabidly, sucks,
I can't believe it...again....?
Every geek in the world adores this show..
how can you cancel it---?

that Amos from the Expanse---

The Expanse

is absolutely the coolest character on all of current television--?

and luckily the new season starts Dec.13th..

This was one of the best films i have seen
in a long time...
On DVD...
Where'd You Go, Bernadette

This may be it...

At a loss----

I will no longer write on politics...

I can no longer stand writing about our 
current political situation...
I just get disgusted...depressed
I am done with it---
Done with all sides...
Republicans---Democrats--
they all suck...
Bernie is our only hope--
and
if the DNC and 1%ers deny Bernie the 
nomination I will not vote...
At this point I do not know if I will
even continue on with this blog...
I may be
closing the blog down after 10 years..
I just know i cannot go on thinking, writing
and trying to make sense of our society 
 it's inequities and it's politics...
it's failures...
I have to take some time---
to work out what I am going to do with this blog...

in route...
Simulacra_and_Simulation

Okay, everybody pick out someone you wanna punch

Just trying to cope....?

When the world depresses me now--
I sit on the front porch in the mornings,
smoke a cigarette and
watch the little kids walking to grade school 
on our corner..
Pleased knowing that they know nothing about
the insane shit going on in our society...?

Can this, get any more bizarre--?

A drag queen--Pissi Myles...

Podcasted from Trump's

impeachment hearing...
and she brought some class to the proceedings...?

Of course his charitable foundation was a 
scam...!
after-admitting-to-misusing-charity-money-in-court-president-trump-claims-that-he-is-the-victim
For Christ's sake anybody around him for a 
New York second would know it was a cash cow for him--?

He plead guilty in a lawsuit filed against his phony

Trump foundation, 

for stealing the charitable donations to it...!!!!

He and his whole fucking family admitted guilt, theft etc...
and all of them are now banned from any
charitable foundation activities without legal supervision--?
His 2.2 million dollar fine will go to REAL charities..!

How does he not go to jail for this shit---?
How--HOW?

A really, really strange thing happened to

Trump Jr. 

this week...

He was boo'd and heckled, pretty much 

run right out of his own Book Launch celebration...

by conservatives that are even stranger than he is---

which, by the way, takes a lot of doing...

These guys were demanding he answer their weird questions..????

donald-trump-jr-walks-out-of-triggered-book-launch-after-heckling-from-supporters

Trump Jr.'s 

fucking girlfriend even tried to defend him..
well, defend him which wound up literally like having Barbie defend you...
She told them they were losers who couldn't get a girlfriend
and a lot of other weird bimbo put downs---?

He and his girlfriend wound up running off the stage..

So all in all it was pretty much a just a total,
normal...
Trumpocalypse...!

The student body president who paid Donnie Jr. $50,000 
(really 50 grand for this asshole--?)
to hold the book launch at his University
is now getting impeached...

My wife and I are tip-toeing into the 21 century...

We've purchased an Alexa(s).

Amazon_Alexa

We are of course, going to add the...

Samuel L. Jackson voice option...
(with profanity of course...)

We've purchased two speakers,
one for the kitchen and one for the living room...

being geezers we, sort of now, need the verbal
assistance of an AI for many things...?

Or at least we think it will help
on a day to day basis..?
I asked a friend for some advice
as to buying an Alexa or not and he was all---
"You know they listen to you through that thing..?"

I responded with--
why would anyone be interested in
the bizarrely weird conversations my wife and I now have at this age?
There would be just hours and hours of 
the two of us mumbling 
"what--huh--what--huh--what?"
to each other..
and wondering what the date and time is..?

We added to this household Robot/AI upgrade 
 by purchasing a Roomba.

Roomba

An attempt to insure housework gets done
a bit better--?

The problem is that I have to
set up all this new computerized shit--
and make sure it's all
linked up right and doing what it's suppose to do...?
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong--?

We were attacked by a cold front this week..
Cold for us anyway..
So with inside time available
 I worked on some watch
repair problems that had built up...
I cleaned, re-battery'd and changed bands
on my vintage Citizen C-300 Navihawk..
Navihawk Review
Just setting the time on this bugger is enough
to drive the average human crazy--
So I was somewhat pleased with myself for
being able to do the work I did on it--!

It is such a cool watch....
and 
I am so glad to have it working again..!

On Netflix---
