Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.
Yesterday, my beautiful friend Cheri Class said, “Have a great day and enjoy your chocolate free Easter,” because I said I wouldn’t be buying any Easter eggs.  Oh, trust me, I will be buying Easter eggs!  Lots of them!  I am a choc-a-holic!  Me and my son both.  BUT, I will be buying them AFTER Easter Sunday!  Again, you can call me stingy but, after Easter Sunday, they will reduce to a sensible price.  I don’t mind spending money, as long as I get value for money.  Not saying I’m wealthy but this is how wealthy people stay wealthy, they DON’T pay over the odds and ensure they are getting good value; everything is a negotiation!
Yesterday, I had a difficult task to do.  Something that really taxed my brain.  Took me out of my comfort zone.  However, despite constant, necessary breaks, I managed to break the back of my task, which was so satisfying.  I’m sure you know that feeling.  It’s that task you’ve been dreading.  That task you almost feel ill-equipped to tackle.  Anyway, I cracked it and I feel good. 
On Tuesday night, I dreamt about one of my exes.  Probably because we’d talked about her over the weekend.  Now, The Trouble and I have been together since 1986 so, when I say ‘ex’, I am talking about someone in the dim and distant past!  Anyway, the ex was talking the way she used to talk when she was 17.  She’s sixty-something now and not totally in control of all her marbles.  Back then, when she was a teenager, she was confident and forceful and slightly condescending.  It wasn’t a good or a bad dream, it was just weird to have her pop up.  I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a 1963 comedy called ‘It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’ (starring Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Terry-Thomas and Phil Silvers) but that’s what my dreams are like!      
Have a throbbing and thrusting Thursday (with hopefully a few thrills through your thoroughfare?)  I love you all.

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.  Happy Hump Day!
Dad’s play ‘Roots’ (written 18 years before Alex Haley’s ‘Roots’) is being revived at The Almeida (Almeida Street, London N1 1TA) between September 10 and November 30.  It’s the true story of my mum and dad’s relationship.  She leaves Norfolk, goes to London, falls in love with my father, and then returns home to get the family ready for the arrival of her new boyfriend.  So, the play is set in my grandmother’s living room and you’ll get the chance to meet Mum’s side of the family.  They were a brilliant bunch!  The Norfolk accent is a bugger, so I wish the actors good luck!  Lady Wesker doesn’t come to London anymore but she plans to attend the ‘press night’, the performance at which the theatre critics are invited.  We shall be there too. 
The casting couch exists in every area of business.  For anyone that’s worked in either film, theatre, TV or music, there is ample opportunity for abuse of power!  The doo-doo is about to hit the fan for one Sean Combs and I’ll be shocked if a number of high profile people don’t get dragged into the story.  Although, for some reason, some politicians have that Teflon effect and nothing seems to stick, and politicians love a casting couch!  My social media feeds are aflame with some very interesting stories!
Got my eye on the weather.  It rained all day yesterday and it’s going to do the same today!  It stops on Friday for the day, then starts raining again on Saturday!  And we haven’t even got to April showers!  Good thing I’m working from home today.  The house will be nice and warm, and I’ve got some hot cross buns for my tea!  We’ll buy the fish on Thursday.  Good Friday always involves a lot of fish in my place.  And you can call me stingy if you like but I’ll be f*cked if I’m buying any chocolate Easter eggs!  What a rip-off!  All packaging and no bloody chocolate!
Have a wonderful and well-endowed Wednesday.  I love you all.  Yes, a crazy, bald man loves and cares about you.

Palestinians in Israeli prisons, and that includes men, women, and children, are subjected to torture, sexual violence, threats of rape and killing their loved ones, and they get KILLED. The "only democracy in the Middle East" is nothing but a colonial and imperial power that torments and kills the innocent. Keep talking about Palestine!

This is proof that capitalism is not about freedom. Not even close.
In a system that values freedom, it would be expected that people would value living over working.
This is the same mentality as those who claimed to value freedom but owned slaves. They want freedom for themselves while everyone else serves them. They still haven't grown out of that.

Superb show! Watched it from start to finish and, some day, may watch it again!
I'm watching Scandal and I don't know if anyone on this app watched or watches (I know I am behind the times), but I'm so interested in talking to people who watched it when it was airing because binging it is such a wild experience.
TO be clear, I am LOVING the show. The turns, the drama, the pace, it all is working for me. I'm currently on season 3 and am still fully invested. But I find myself absolutely hating Fitz and Olivia.
Again, don't get me wrong. The premise of their dynamic is great. The chemistry is insane! But when watching in the binging model, their relationship is EXHAUSTING. It is the same thing over and over and over and ... over. At this point, by season 3, I am BEGGING them to ACTUALLY let each other go. If they want to come back in a season or 2, that's great (I know they end up together, it's fine), but the repetitive model of them telling each other how hurt they are by the other just to immediately sleep together and for the story to NEVER give audiences even a beat, is sooooooo tiring.
Also, Jake is right there. HE'S RIGHT THERE. Now I am a Felicity fan and also a Noel fan so I am fully prepared to watch Scott Foley get crushed again, I'm trained for this, but, like, USE him first. Push Jake and Olivia's relationship farther! Let her be ACTUALLY into him? L'et her let go of Fitz a little? I mean, will it ever happen? She just found out he shot down the plane that "killed" her mother and she ... is still having sex with him? It feels like there is nothing that will ever make her move on, even for literally A FEW EPISODES.
Did it feel this way when it was airing or did it give the sense of more breathing room because it was a weekly release? I just can't believe how tired I am of this dynamic. I am begging for a change up. Scott Foley is RIGHT THERE!!!!
