We had a splendid Christmas Eve last night!

Mainly – I survived!! Yay! Although, I did go up to my bed at 8PM, intending to watch some Christmas stuff on Amazon Prime for a few quiet moments, but what I actually did was fell dead asleep, immediately.

I picked up my final houseguest yesterday afternoon, and then helped them run some last minute errands. They wanted to “quickly run in ” to Walmart!!

ME: “Are you crazy???? It’s Christmas Eve!! It’s going to be a zoo!! Why don’t we just run into the Dollar Store near my house?”

THEM: “We can’t afford the Dollar Store! It’s too expensive!”

(Interesting statement, isn’t it? If you really look at it.)

Anyway, off to Walmart we went, on Christmas Eve afternoon…

I waited in the car in the quite full parking lot, while they shopped for last minute snacks, cat food, etc. As everyone knows, I am absolutely opposed to the sheer existence of Walmart, so that’s why I didn’t go in. And as they scrambled out of the car, I emphatically made the sign of the cross with my fingers, to keep all the Walmart human-trafficking-demon spirits away from all of us…

Anyway! They made it out unscathed. And I swear to you, the backseat was full, the hatchback was full! Enough beer, wine, snacks, and actual food that will be part of Christmas dinner was practically overflowing from the car, even though the refrigerator at home, and the kitchen table, were already overflowing with stuff for Christmas.

And then, halfway home, I said: “Oh shit!! I’ve been so focused on Christmas Dinner, that I don’t have anything to make for us for dinner tonight!!!”

It was too funny. But I managed to pull together an (organic) frozen pizza from my freezer. made some (organic) linguine with (organic) pesto rosso that I had in the cupboard, which were not yet past their expiration date, and God knows, there was plenty of wine and beer on hand for my guests… So, honestly, it actually turned out simple but amazing.

And then, very quietly, I said to Michael: “I was thinking I wanted to go take a quick walk and look at all the Christmas decorations, because I haven’t had time to see any yet. Do you want to come with me? Just a quick walk around the block?”

Well, not only did he say “yes,” but then everybody said yes and so off we went! And it was so fun. but that quick walk around the block turned into a one-hour walk, wherein we checked out the Christmas lights of practically every house in the entire village!!

They, of course, were buzzing and I was completely sober, but we laughed a lot and had so much fun. However, loyal readers of this lofty blog know that, nowadays, I have some problems with my legs, so I was quietly thinking: holy shit, what have I gotten myself into?— when we weren’t even half-way done with our quick walk.

But I hung in there and we really did have a great time.

And they were up all night in the kitchen, drinking, smoking, cooking — getting things ready for tonight’s dinner. (And, btw, my cheesecake looks perfect. Here’s hoping it will taste perfect!)

And I quietly came downstairs to the kitchen at my usual 5:30AM, to feed my many cats and also myself, and put a pot of coffee on — and all their dishes and pots and pans were washed and put away. And little Christmas nightlights had been left on, which made the kitchen look so peaceful in the dark.

And Kon Tiki of the Great Outdoors was sitting on the kitchen counter, looking out the window at the bright moon shining down through a mist on the dark yard… Kon Tiki usually likes to be outside all night, but she really gets along with my houseguests, so obviously, she had come inside to hang out with them while they were cooking, and I found that so sweet.

So, today is all about getting the rest of the food ready and setting the table for Christmas dinner and then, of course, sitting down to eat. I will probably have a thimble-full of wine and maybe a drop of cognac with dessert, but I’m doubtful that I can even handle that, but we’ll see!!

************

Okay, regarding the “news”–

The situation between Phil and Nick at Good Lion Films got really out of hand yesterday. Just unbelievable. Like a pack of wolves, really. I did end up leaving the Good Lion telegram channel, primarily because a lot of the posts there go off in directions that don’t appeal to me anyway. But I gave it a lot of thought, and I perused the Good Lion Films & TV app again this morning, and I decided that I want to keep it. At least for a while. I really do value the documentaries that Good Lion has made over the years. 

Regarding Total Disclosure’s claims that Nick “steals everything”, well, I just don’t know. He is always upfront about saying that his work is gathered from sources that are all over the Internet, or based on books, or the research that is also done by other people. So, for now, I’m keeping my account.

So we’ll see.

***********

And this was posted by Dr. Reiner Fuellmich’s people — a downloadable pdf with his Defense’s official press release.

Very interesting — the “charges” he’s being held in prison over. Is this a psy-op, or what?? Amazing that they are keeping him in prison over stuff like this.

You can read or download the pdf here.

And the closing remarks this morning from Reiner’s team:

“Many thanks to all donators, many thanks to all people who continue to trust in Reiner and many thanks to all those who continue to stand tall and still fight for truth and justice. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a New Year that will hopefully bring the changes we have all been fighting for so long. Thank you for standing with us.

Gisela, on behalf of Reiner and the whole ICIC-Team. ❤️🙏”

In closing news —

Nick Cave sent out a very entertaining Red Hand File this morning, wherein he answered many questions with a single “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know”.

For instance:

“I’ve just seen a clip of Pink (the acclaimed singer) flying over her audience on wires, performing many acrobatic moves? Have you ever thought of doing such a thing during a Bad Seeds concert?

No.”

And also this:

“What’s the point of living if free will is an illusion?

I don’t know.”

And there was also this — and no (!!), I was not the woman who asked this question!! Everyone knows that I am way, way, way past menopause…

“Will you come and live with me in my house in the woods so I can have your babies?

No.”

You can read it in full here.

And that is it!!

Have a beautiful Christmas Day, if you celebrate it!

Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!

*********

Life is still a little topsy-turvy here, gang. The weekend at the train station just about killed me. Wow, were we busy. It was really just off-the-charts. Everybody in town was looking for a reason to get the holiday spirit underway.

I am recovering from complete exhaustion and “collapse-ation” — a new word, which implies that I collapsed but managed to get back up!

We might get the Christmas decorations up around here today (!!), but I’m leaning toward seriously doubting it. (I have some houseguests here now indefinitely, and they are trying to get their lives settled in, too.)

Anyway. Here I am.

Phil did do a live Q &A on Friday. If you missed it, here is the replay (1hr 38 mins):

And, best news yet — Phil just posted that Trump will be back in office sooner than anticipated and that something happened since his last live.

Check Phil’s channel for updates!!

Nick Cave sent out a really beautiful Red Hand File the other day, regarding the death of Shane MacGowan. He said, in part:

“Shane was blessed with an uncommon spirit of goodness and a deep sense of what is true, which was strangely amplified in his brokenness, his humanness. We can say of him most certainly, ‘he was beloved on the earth,’ and Sinéad too — truly beloved and greatly missed, both.”

That’s it for now.

Stay safe, everybody, and have a good Sunday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!

My mood this morning. All things beautiful from my life in the 80s…

Mink DeVille – Just To Walk That Little Girl Home (1980)

Well, I am home alone today for Thanksgiving. Primarily, because I coughed all night and got no sleep and I continue to be exhausted. But, as fate would have it, my dad is in really bad shape this morning with a blocked catheter, and would not have wanted me to come. The nurse is there with him now.

I feel bad for my stepsister and her family — they drove 9 hours from Alabama yesterday. But they will be there for a few days. Hopefully my dad will get a little better as the day progresses.

Anyway. Happy Thanksgiving, gang, however you spend it or honor it. I have some amazing Thanksgiving memories from my wee bonny girlhood in Cleveland, so that will have to suffice for me today.

If you missed Phil’s livestream last night, it was a very nice one. Mostly , it was really enjoyable to just have him back. The intel he had last night is already unfolding this morning. So check his channel, and also watch the replay if you missed it last night (1 hr 20 mins):

General Flynn had a nice Thanksgiving letter. You can read it in full here, but I particularly liked this part:

“[…] President Abraham Lincoln, after the victorious but very difficult Battle of Gettysburg displayed the cost of war along with apparent insurmountable odds, who proclaimed the last Thursday of November to be set aside as a day to reflect on the sacrifices of Gettysburg, and of all previous wars, as a “day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father.” President Lincoln wanted Americans to reflect on the tender care we must offer to those who have gone before us and to those who suffer because of the consequences of war. Thanksgiving is a  reminder, despite the challenges we now face, there is a fruitful bounty in our lives that we must all reflect upon while we enjoy each other’s company and offer thanks for this still plentiful nation that remains the freest, most abundant on earth […]”

***********

Simon Parkes had a nice video of Putin walking down a flight of airplane stairs in a blizzard (30 seconds). (The meaning, of course, is that Biden is always falling down…)

*************

I hate to spring a pop quiz on you when it’s a holiday, however….

How do we know this gorgeous creature is really Johnny Depp? (Select only one answer please):

A. Because he is smoking

B. Because he is smoking

(Good luck, everyone!!)

*************

Okay, so Black Friday sales are bombarding us all over the place, aren’t they???

I saved a fortune on supplements yesterday at various online outlets, so that was nice.

I also purchased a couple things from the Manhattan Repertory Theater — a new eBook, The 10 Principles of Playwrighting by Ken Wolf ($7 Amazon Kindle) — because I am still tweaking my play, Tell My Bones: The Helen LaFrance Story.

And I also purchased a script consultation (on sale right now, can also use it for screenwriting!).

I have 5 months to use the consultation, so that gives me a nice deadline to tweak the play.

I did NOT get the Tom Petty Christmas coffee mug because shipping charges were off-the-charts insane.

I didn’t get the Keith Richards tee shirt, either. I’m holding out for a better photo on the shirt. I tell you, gang, I had the BEST Keith Richards tee shirt in the 1980s, and none of the newer ones hold a candle to that one. So I’m waiting…

(It was not this photo, but it was from this photo shoot, and the shirt was in black, white and yellow. And I had cut the sleeves off, because back then, for some reason, we cut the sleeves off of our tee shirts — you can see that with Keith’s shirt in the photo below. And the tee shirt I had looked incredible with black Levis.)

(I remember one spring day in 1985, wearing the tee shirt and a pair of black Levis and black cowboy boots; walking along St. Mark’s Place with the punk-rock bassist now known as Blare N. Bitch, who was the love of my life at that point. She and I were both smoking our cigarettes, both had our de rigueur crazy 1980s hair. I was good-naturedly asking her not to leave me, not to go back to her sig o, and to just let me be the most important thing in her world for at least an afternoon, and she was chuckling and some guy came up to me on the street and said, “I love your tee shirt”…. That’s the kind of Keith Richards tee shirt I want to own again.)

(BELOW: The bassist now known as Blare N. Bitch in my room at about 3AM in 1985. Note these things: Many photos of Keith taped to my wall, along with other people. The ashtray on the bed — you always want to do that, gang, because beds are super flammable. The Lou Reed cassette tape for New Sensations. I LOVED that album!!)

********

Okay!

Nick Cave sent out another very interesting Red Hand File this morning!! Wherein, he encourages us to embrace yet another much-needed “cultural irritant.”

Personally, I have more cultural irritants than I can handle. So I’m gonna pass on this one. But I loved what he had to say about his own Christianity.

“The defining characteristic of my belief, and which I consider to be a fundamental imperative in my life, is uncertainty. This questioning impulse is the essence of freedom and the creative catalyst that keeps the wheels rotating irrevocably toward God….”

You can read it in full here.

And I think that’s it for now, gang.

Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world. If you are State-side — Happy Thanksgiving!! Good things are coming, even as I type!!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

From Lou Reed’s New Sensations, 1984. “Doin’ the Things We Want To”.

There is not much out there that is really interesting, gang. As you can probably figure out all on your own. It is so much noise and almost all of it optics.

I thought this was interesting, though — to me, it sort of proves that Bongino is in on the whole Q thing, but that he has his own mission: to wake up Conservative normies who refuse to believe in Q.

Posted on il DonaldoTrumpo last night — Dan Scavino (Q-team) and Dan Bongino (close friend of Donald Trump) at what looks like the UFC 295 fight in NYC:

**********

Xi has allegedly left today for that historic (or hysterical) meeting in San Francisco with the fake Biden…

***********

There is a pro-Israel rally in DC today. About 60,000 protesters are expected and the Mayor has called in the National Guard, just in case there’s the same kind of chaos the pro-Palestinians caused.

*********

And Patriot Princess had some interesting Q-Gematria decodes. Having to do with the fake Biden’s 81st birthday coming up next week, and a full moon and maybe the fake 81-year-old Biden having a heart attack while driving his Corvette on the full moon??

Wouldn’t that be nice? But I guess we’ll just see.

Michael Jackson had an interesting point:

“If there were victims, there are perps. Arrest them now. Release the list”

Yes! I overslept this morning. More intensely maddening, disheartening dreams. But I don’t have to do anything today but write, so it doesn’t matter that I overslept…

Meanwhile–

Breakfast-listening music from today!!! TWO, yes two — choices!! Both of them are terrific!! Enjoy.

Loyal readers of this lofty blog no doubt recall that the day we get the hell out of Daylight Savings Time is my most favorite day of the year!!

For someone like me, who needs to sit and stare for many hours a day, that added hour is like some sort of miracle.

Okay!

From Real Raw News:

“Letitia James Arrested

Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File yesterday that was sort of eye opening. If you wondered what he did the night after the tour had ended…

“…went to bed, woke up about 2am, threw up in the sink and collapsed unconscious on the bathroom floor….”

Apparently, he is okay now, but it reminded me of this–

From his song “Magneto” (2016)-

I was an electrical storm on the bathroom floor, clutching the bowl
My blood was full of gags and other people’s diseases
And my monstrous little memory had swallowed me whole
Oh, it was the year I officially became the Bride of Jesus

You can read his Red Hand File here.

*************

Oh, and I bought this on Amazon Prime!! So I can watch it again and fast-forward through the part that was really disturbing to me. (This is the film I saw while I was in Cleveland):

Mutiny in Heaven: The Birthday Party

“Mutiny in Heaven is the story of Nick Cave’s first band, The Birthday Party. Follow the ascent, apex and inevitable collapse of the band in a thrilling tale of epic struggle, artistic genius and total dysfunctionality. Told in the group’s own words, Mutiny in Heaven brings the band’s story to the screen for the first time.”

I will be watching it this weekend, along with this (well, not side by side, just on the same day). This has been out for a while now, but I have still not seen it:

***********

Okay, gang.

Today is the 5th of November. We shall see what it brings. Phil has really been playing it up this year, over the past couple of days, so we’ll see if this is the year when something big actually happens — in public, I mean.

(If you have never seen the film V for Vendetta, you can watch it for free. I saw it back in 2005 or 2006 (??) and I really loved it. Here is just one place to watch it free on YouTube):

I’m going to run into town one more time today to get more groceries. Then I’m just going to hang out here at my desk for the next several days, do a little writing and also try to re-vamp the Marilyn’s Room Books website. And also work with Valerie to get my Zazzle store up & running! (Remember those coffee mugs with my book covers on them??? And those 1954 Powder Blue Pickup playing cards??!!)

And then, if I have enough energy, I’m going to finally do the fall cleanup out in my yard. I’m, like, the last person in all of Crazeysburg to clean up her yard. There is dead stuff hanging out everywhere. Dead morning glories clinging to everything. A dead hydrangea bush reaching up to the sky. Dead polk sallet drooping all over my dogwood tree. And 8 flower pots on my kitchen porch, filled with dead flowers.

Okay. Stay safe! Enjoy your Sunday and your extra hour!!

Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!

(Remember these guys when they were 29 years old??!! I sure do. The awesome Summer of ’72, when I was 12….)

Okay, Phil announced yesterday that he will go live tomorrow night, Friday, Oct.27, qt 7PM eastern time. Check tomorrow to confirm.

My sister dropped off my mom around 7 last evening. I had not seen either of them since before the scamdemic. Almost 4 years. But there we all were, chatting away, catching up, just like the old days.

Weird, how suddenly everything feels back to normal, although we’re all noticeably older…

Plus, I haven’t flown anywhere in 4 years, either. It’s so weird how now you do all that check-in stuff on your phone! Check in, get your seat number, give them all your passport info, check your baggage, get your boarding pass — all of it, on your phone. And my e-boarding pass even had my TSA Pre-check on it.

It’s just weird.

Of course, I immediately closed the wrong window and lost the whole thing….(they re-sent it).

Anyway. Off I go. I am finally feeling really excited, gang. Partly because Wayne will already be there when I get there and he’ll be waiting outside of the high rise for my (excruciatingly expensive) Uber to arrive, with me inside it, with my stupidly heavy suitcase, and wearing my awesome David Bowie tee shirt that Wayne had made for me on one of my birthdays a few years ago….

This is where he and I are staying in Toronto:

**********

Okay.

Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File yesterday that was very beautiful. And empowering. Advising a reader about how best to deal with a recent drug overdose. He wrote, in part:

“[…] if it is  related to drug dependency then in my experience people don’t usually overdose just once – they tend to overdose a couple of times, and then all too often die.[…]”

And he went into detail about what happens after you get clean. In part:

“[… If you persevere, in time you will have an entirely different problem – not that life is meaningless, but rather that life has almost too much meaning.[…]”

I so totally agree with that.

When I was in my early teens, I had a very serious drug problem. It wasn’t heroin, though. But I OD’d more times than I can even remember. And then, eventually, almost died. Twice.

Now, I can’t even imagine living in that much despair. Even when I’m battling depression, it is never as bad as it was in those early days of my life. I can’t imagine having missed out on all the incredible things that came into my world once I was old enough to leave home and get away from all the relentless abuse. So I particularly appreciated how Nick Cave ended his letter;

“So, Zara, a few things you need to do. Stop fucking around and get your shit together. Get clean and don’t die.”

Okay. That’s it. Got to get moving here.

Hi, gang.

I just wanted to pop in to say I have too much to do right now, so I’m not really posting yet. Maybe I will pop back later this afternoon, but I’m guessing I will be busy with re-formatting the play for several days. (Just formatting the director’s edits. Nothing that requires creativity or imagination.)

Plus, I want to get my dad’s edits done on his obituary and get that back to him today.

How interesting it is to edit his obituary, gang. The things he wants to remember about his life — and what he wants others to know about his life — are, in essence, things I never really knew. (Things I knew in a broad sense, maybe, but never knew in detail. And a couple of things, I actually never knew.)

Anyway. It is very, very interesting.

And then last night, I realized I never posted the replay from Phil’s livestream this past Saturday night. It was great!! I loved it. So if you missed it, here it is:

Mugshot – August 26th, 2023 (2 hrs):

And I forgot to post this!!! Also from Saturday.

Ross K. Nichols – The Prophet Isaiah: The Call [Ep. 2] (58 mins):

And this is actually a year old, but I listened to this early this morning. I love Dr. Elaine Pagels’ works. If Gnosticism & the Nag Hammadi Library are vague landscapes for you, she can teach you everything you need to know to get started!!

Mythvision – The Gnostic God vs The Orthodox God – Dr. Elaine Pagels (16 mins):

And this morning, Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File that I find kind of disheartening. I don’t even fit in as an average Nick Cave fan!! (I don’t fit in anywhere, as anything, really. I’m just way out there beyond the pale in all imaginable areas of life, gang.)

Anyway. He sent out the “final” Top 15 Nick Cave Playlist, which had been aggregated by feeding over 2000 fans’ playlists into ChatGPT.

From over 2000 fans, I only share 4 songs in common. And I find this just unbelievable, because my playlist consisted of way, way, WAY MORE than 15 songs, and I still only share 4 favorites in common with all those other fans.

However, dismal as it is, here’s the official Top 15 Nick Cave Playlist:

1. Jubilee Street
2. Into My Arms
3. From Her To Eternity
4. The Ship Song
5. Tupelo
6. The Mercy Seat
7. Stagger Lee
8. Push The Sky Away
9. The Weeping Song
10. Higgs Boson Blues
11. Red Right Hand
12. Ghosteen
13. Bright Horses
14. Straight To You
15. O Children

And that is it, for now.

Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world.

United States Marines on Monday captured Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and killed his two bodyguards during a military-sanctioned operation to apprehend the fiendish clot shot manufacturer following his return to the United States, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News.

Bourla, a Greek American veterinarian, was last seen in the U.S. on November 8, 2022, the day after Special Forces arrested Moderna CEO Stephen Bancel at a posh D.C. eatery. Our source said the military believes Bourla learned of Bancel’s arrest and “got the hell out of Dodge” before he became the next target. White Hats learned later that Bourla had returned to Athens, from where he had been overseeing Pfizer’s global operations and devising ways of once again convincing world citizens to take his deadly booster shots.[…]”

And in other news–

Nick cave sent out a Red Hand File today, in which he speaks eloquently about ChatGPT [a thing I personally despise]. In short, he had this to say:

“ChatGPT rejects any notions of creative struggle, that our endeavours animate and nurture our lives giving them depth and meaning. It rejects that there is a collective, essential and unconscious human spirit underpinning our existence, connecting us all through our mutual striving.

ChatGPT is fast-tracking the commodification of the human spirit by mechanising the imagination. It renders our participation in the act of creation as valueless and unnecessary… “

I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with two songs.

The first, written and sung by Robbie Robertson. The second, produced by Robbie Robertson, and written by Robbie Robertson and Neil Diamond.

RIP amigo.

Yay!

I’ve been awake for over 3 hours already and my brain is almost getting ready to start doing something…

Crimony.

This is apparently one of those “I want to just sit and stare” kind of days. And I can’t afford that luxury.

I have a a ton — oops! I meant a TON — of work to do with Sandra on the play today. Well, between today and September 18th, we have a TON of work to do on the play. Meaning: All of Act Two.

Luckily, Act Two isn’t as complicated as Act One has been. But still…

Anyway!

Great news!! Saturday night, up in Montreal, Peitor Angell — my long-time dear friend as well as production partner in Abstract Absurdity Productions –got some great feedback from one of the producers he met in Cannes back in May.

This is regarding our micro-short script for “Lita måste gå!” (“Lita’s Got To Go!”).

I can’t go into any details yet, gang. But it felt so great to finally get that script back in front of people again.

Long-time readers of this lofty blog no doubt recall, that back in 2020 — before the scamdemic locked the world down — our script for “Lita måste gå!” was getting incredible feedback from everyone. We had a cinematographer on board, and a studio in Alabama on board for interior shots; we had the script breakdown done (and you may recall that I fell out of my chair when I saw the 6-figure numbers on that 10-minute film); we had upcoming meetings with Netflix and Apple TV, etc., etc.

And then our entire company came to a screeching halt. Like almost everything else in the world.

You might also recall that, back in May, when Peitor texted me at 6am from Nice and said he needed the most current version of the script to send to a couple of producers he had met in Cannes, and I had to search through 3 different laptops to find it after three years…

But, I have to say, that when I read over the script, before giving it to Peitor, I fell in love with our film (and our production company) all over again. So to get a very engaging interest from a new producer was an incredibly good feeling, gang.

I will keep you posted!

**********

So,, if you watched Phil’s Q&A the other night, you’ll no doubt already know that BRICS is expecting to make their world-announcement on August 22nd, about being on a currency system that is backed by precious metals (or by whatever is deemed precious to a particular region, i.e., oil). And that it would behoove all of us to invest as much as we can into silver and gold before August 22nd.

We shall see, gang.

I have since added as much additional money as I can into my own little silver vault. However, how come the world doesn’t already know about BRICS? I’m not understanding that. Or do I live so deep in the alternative news system, that I lose track of what the above-ground normies do not yet know???

Could be.

Also — I have no clue if this is accurate, because I am not a member of Phil’s “Locals” subscription-group — but allegedly, during that Q&A, he gave a sign — by touching his nose– that indicated the Emergency Alert System would go off THIS WEEK.

Obviously, I just don’t know, but be prepared, gang. Mostly with 1-2 weeks of food and water for you & your pets. Cash on hand. Gas in the tank. (How often have I posted that over the years???)

Enjoy your Monday, wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting, gang.

I love you guys! See ya!
