Bookmarked for when he is finally raptured back to his god.

Wait. Here’s something that I’ve wanted for a long time. You see. I’ve got several Apple IDs. I wish for them to be consolidated into one. Yet that wasn’t ever available until today. Or this is kind of close to consolidation. We’ll have to see.
For now, I’ll just book mark this page.
“Bill, we are not in New York.” “We’re not? Gee, and here I am mistaking the Museum of Yarn for the Guggenheim.”

I go to the bookstore almost every weekend. The same one I’ve been telling you about for the past 20 years. So I’ve accumulated a lot of books, and, confession time, I have maybe only read a tenth of what I’ve bought.
Sad. I know. It’s a sickness, but I can’t be helped. There’s a lot of things that look interesting to read, but not interesting enough to be read.
But that’s just not my problem only. Lots of people do the same. Ain’t that the joke — having books you haven’t read? Yup. So, there’s even a word for it in Japanese… let’s all learn it today!
“That I haven’t written a word. That my life couldn’t fill a haiku, let alone a whole book.”
Why did they ever make a sequel to Beetlejuice? Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was a mess. It had five or more plot lines. If one or two were focused on, then it would’ve made a better movie. There was the mother-daughter reconciliation plot, the daughter evil boyfriend plot, the father funeral plot, the “Ghost House” plot, the wedding plot, the other wedding plot, and then we get to Beetlejuice. So many things going on. They all made no sense mashed into one film.
I guess nostalgia has kicked in for me is why I watched the movie. It wasn’t good. It was disappointing. Never trust nostalgia.
2 of 5 stars.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
This is what the Republicans plan on doing to the greatest country on Earth.
They are not conservatives. They are radicals. They are also a minority. No one but the oligarchs like what this is all about.
Vote them out. Not just vote, but vote against them.
Or we are doomed.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
I watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire so long ago. This post is supposed to be a review or my thoughts on that film. I can’t. I forgot anything about the movie.
Wait. I vaguely remember something about freezing to death. Or was it being scared to death? Yeah something about that.
It turns out that even though I don’t remember anything. I’ll still give it a mediocre score.
3 of 5 stars.

Not really having something today, I guess. I just want to post something for leap day. I also want to post something so that February 2024 has more than one post.
I just did a quick check of my favorite sites for this link and this one about Pluto’s orbit seems appropriate for the day. Does Pluto have a Leap Year?

At their inception, Nogizaka46 was the official rival of AKB48. Debuting in 2011, it took Nogizaka46 seven years to overtake their rivals and become Japan’s top mainstream idol act.
Today, Nogizaka46 are the rivals to a new idol group produced again by Akimoto Yasushi. The new group is 「僕が見たかった青空」(“Boku ga Mitakatta Aozora”) or “The Blue Sky I Wanted to See.”
How long until they overtake Nogizaka46?
Quote of the Day [5.20.23]
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
