Hmm... Another Thanksgiving Dinner Gone Bad?

Yeah - family gatherings always go sour quick...
They have a definite tendency to do so,
that certainly is for sure...
And, with a family and extended family like mine
I feel like Dorothy does, right there;
like I'm not in Kansas anymore...?
*lol*
Or make that - not in the Açores, anymore!
As long as I don't feel like the Strawman there...
All is fine and dandy!
I just have to keep telling myself this, now
as, this year, it is hard to find reasons
to be thankful and not, actually,
reasons to ask "why"...?

Oh shoot... in hindsight...
I really look more like the lion...
the Cowardly Lion, no need to remind me...
than any other character on there...
And to think that, last year, right here,
I was identifying the most with...
Ernie?
Or maybe even... *gulp*... the Count?
Yikes!

How much things change
during the course of a year...

"Les années se suivent
mais ne se ressemblent pas."

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... 2020 WON ~ 2020 TWO!?

Those... ominous semi-predictions came to be true, pretty much... ...so, now... what can be hoped for OUT OF 2023? The preceding was brought to you by Things To Come ... +++

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 ...

l.p. - luminous pondering - hmm...
