Hmm... Some Moments In Life Do Appear To Drag On Forever And Ever...





Comments

And, as I used to say to a malicious man married to an aunt of mine, a mischievous fiend who used to tease me with silly lies about my father and what he would do for me or not do... I was barely five years-old and I used to reply to him the following:


"Todos os papas gostem dos filhinhos"



That made my father laugh, pleased as he was that I had shut the other guy's mouth with my retort...!




I guess it is true too: every dad loves his offspring, it applies to most if not really all of them; even dads like Darth Vader!



;)
On a sidenote, specific to ol' Darth - a collective sigh of relief was heard in the movie theatre where I first saw this film (with my Dad, indeed) when D.V. *finally* bypassed his very unhealthy loyalty and totally illogical filial love for the "Emperor"...


Blood is thicker than anything -
especially evil!

hmm... golden globes?

  Ever wondered why the hell they started rewarding  cheap TV without much in the way of standards of any kind  -often employing the same thespians, over and over again-  AND WHY did they ever decide to call these things  "THE GOLDEN GLOBES"  as this clearly doesn't always involve the whole damn globe  and there's no real gold to be dug up - nowhere!!!  The most prestigious award they have to give out,  truth be told, probably would be the  CAROL BURNETT (ACHIEVEMENT) AWARD  and they've given a grand total of... THREE TIMES  (including the one given away tonight: to 98 year-old  Norman Lear! Good thing they didn't wait any longer - eh?  As they could have given it to him last year: instead, they  chose to give it to ELLEN...!!! That's the video above...  The inaugural one -below- was Carol Burnett herself - duh)  Yeah, yeah - alright, alright;  they've got the CECIL B. De MILLE AWARD, too...  ...

hmm... better roles, she said?

 Recently (most recently; as that was... yesterday!)  on the award-winning talk show hosted by  KELLY CLARKSON (yeah - another "hmm" right there!)  this actress comes on (via zoom, skype or whatever)  and professes to have "fallen in love all over again with acting "  thanks to this new role that she nabbed... on this:  ...TOO BAD... the actual interview in which she  gushes so about it is just GONE...  It is based on a book - see?  One that is highly recommended ~ y'hear:  hmm... me, I still prefer  The Lumineers! But that's another story!  back to that actress though - EVE...  She recounts that she ALMOST QUIT ACTING  because all she was ever offered were parts of  "booby girlfriends" (I paraphrase...?)  (lest it was "bubbly GFs" - huh?)  (But no - I am pretty darn sure she spoke of boobs!)  and, still, she didn't quit... she persevered...  she made a name for herself while retaining ...

There sure is much to ponder these days...  INDEED! And it's making me... angry... hungry... hangry ! Hmm... Maybe some soothing music will help...? Hmm... I'll keep on adding playlists here, no matter what - *one* of them is bound to be playable, sooner or later, surely, eh? Ah - see? ;-)
