Movies everyone should see – Holiday edition
Since I’ve been unswayed by the holidays this year, I’ve watched quite a few movies this year – here’s a partial list
- Anatomy of a murder – Jimmy Stewart at his best
- Dead Reckoning – A Bogart movie I had never seen before – another classic film noir
- Touch of Evil – Charlton Heston as a Mexican Fed (which he pulls off well), and Orson Welles as a fat, sweaty hard drinking cop, which he played well, but wasn’t that much of a jump.
- El Mariachi – a bit dated, but watchable
-
Happy new year and all that
I’m a bit underwhelmed by everything this year.

So very true
More galling is the phony outrage from politicians about how the banks are actually spending the money.

Tuesday rapid fire
- Inventor’s 2020 vision: to help 1bn of the world’s poorest see better
- Bleeding Heart Tightwads – the right gives more to charity than the left
- Burger King launches beef-scented body spray
- The neurotypicals conspire against us with homeopathic remedies

The line of last night…

Dry Fit!
Here is the current state of the woodworking project. I went with SYP for the sides and shelves (with a gel stain, it looks very nice). On to finishing!

Best Dentist Ever
That would be the good folks at AtlantaDentalArts.com – not cheap but there were able to work me in and do a lot of emergency work nearly painlessly. Highly recommended and quite worth it. Nice, non-judgmental folks too

All the King’s Men
I recently saw All The King’s Men, and was quite impressed. It joins the ranks of old movies everyone should see. Basically it’s the story of Huey Long, the populist and crooked governor of Louisiana.

Turning Japanese
We’re officially in a recession – and for the first time in living memory American household debt shrinks! Americans really will do the right thing once all other options have been tried!
