It’s Monday. As expected we had some pretty sloppy wet weather all weekend.
The girlfriend returned from her trip to Ohio on Sunday. And no, I didn’t have any strippers over. My weekend was much more low-key in reality. One thing I did take advantage of was my girlfriend’s dislike of scary and violent movies. So, in her absence I packed in as many as possible and enjoyed every moment. I watched six different movies but my favorite of the weekend was easily Joker. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Joaquin Phoenix taking over the role of Arthur Fleck, but he didn’t take long to win me over. Watching his dark and violent slip into madness was brutally compelling.
Joker received 11 Oscar nominations, including best actor for Joaquin. His performance was definitely Oscar worthy but the competition is tight and the Academy may be turned off by the dark nature of the film and its violence. If you don’t have a problem with psychological thrillers and violence, I recommend checking it out.

Beaver sighting!
It’s Tuesday. I have another beaver sighting to share with all of you. This one comes from Rigel who was relaxing at Zombie Burger in Des Moines, Iowa, when he spotted a beaver establishment across the street. It’s called The Pink Beaver Waxing Boutique and they claim to be the “Home of the 5 minute Brazilian!”
Well then, no more need be said, eh!

Keep, Long time visitor to your sight, in fact I think I was the 50,000th visitor. We stopped at our favorite restaurant in Des Moines on our way home after dropping the offspring off at college today. Zombie Burger is an awesome place with adult shakes and a wide assortment of burgers, fries, and other items. Anyhow, I’m looking out the window and I notice the establishment across the street. Pretty pink beaver, don’t you think? I can’t quite make out the tag line, but I thought your viewers would appreciate a well-groomed beaver. -Rigel
