I hope you are all planning on something festive tonight, wherever you are in the world.

I am really feeling like 2025 is going to be a great year. I hope it feels the same to you, too, gang.

Not a lot of news today. Just some items of interest.

From Absolute 1776:

“Elon changes his X Handle to “Kekius Maximus” – an obvious reference to Pepe, and the movement. He also changed his PfP to Pepe.

@Kimberlyrja8 had the very nice snag on Q Drop 2347 with “The Picture Will Be The Signifier”.

Shortly after, Elon then posts about leveling up to “Level 80”.

Q Drop 80 states:

“We need to get organized. Things need to be solved to understand what is about to happen”.

Reminder: A couple weeks ago General Flynn handed the title of General Of Digital Soldiers to Elon.

Don’t be shocked if Q goes very mainstream, very soon.”

After my evening shift is over, this is what I will be watching tonight! On video!! Not even on DVD or streaming.

Wim Wenders’ classic, Wings of Desire, from 1987. Yes (!) it has Nick Cave in it, but it is also just a really great film. (6 minute scene):

***********

And on the home front.

Well, as a very unexpected but incredible way to say hello to the New Year, I am back on the TV pilot project with Peitor Angell and our production company, Abstract Absurdity Productions. (I had stepped down from it back in June because my life had become overwhelming and the TV project is actually quite enormous.)

After a couple of phone conversations with Peitor over in Nice, France, the last couple of days, we came to the decision that I would come back to the project — and we start working on it again on Monday, January 6th, 2025.

So I’m pretty happy about this, gang. I’m in a whole other headspace now than I was back in June.

And that is it for today.

I hope that tonight is filled with all sorts of good omens for you for 2025, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

Morning listening music!! This incredible classic, written by Serge Gainsbourg!

Juliette Gréco – La javanaise. Enjoy, gang.

Still no news, gang. Besides optics and Q comms & deltas.

This got posted again, however – (it means we’re still watching a movie, gang). From il donaldo trumpo:

I NEED A POPCORN BUTTON!!!🤣🍿🍿🍿

However.

In other news–

This was great!!

From the recent opening of Nick Cave’s art exhibit at the Voorlinden Museum in the Netherlands. (1hr 12 mins):

************
And there’s THIS!!

Apparently, it is open to the public, gang. TONIGHT from 6-10pm, MST, so if you live in Aspen, scurry on over!!!

***********

And there is THIS!!

Wayne and I might be taking a little road trip together in late April to Pikeville, Kentucky, to see Dwight Yoakam and the Mavericks!!

Pikeville is only about 4 hours from here, and it’s not only the birthplace of Dwight Yoakam, but also the town where a huge portion of my paternal ancestors lived. (The May family.)

Also, while we’re in Pikeville, we might head over to Robinson Creek and take a look around. My great-great-great grandfather founded the town of Robinson Creek, and way back then he lived on the banks of the actual creek.

And here’s a new interview with James Tabor. Jesus’ Resurrection Physical or Spiritual? What Do our Earliest Texts Really Say? (53 mins):

And that’s it for now! I gotta scoot. I might not be posting tomorrow, because I have a double shift that starts early.

Enjoy your Saturday, wherever you are in the world!!

I leave you with these timeless treasures!!

Wow, did I have some great dreams last night, gang. And I woke up just feeling really happy today.

And today is Kara’s birthday, so I’m really looking forward to taking her out to lunch before my afternoon shift. I haven’t seen her since we saw the incredible Andrea Bocelli film.

And I have to say that yesterday’s visit with the insurance guy was actually quite fantastic. Not just because he’s making the whole Medicare Plan B thing a breeze for me, but, most importantly, we focused more on getting me truly affordable Long Term Care/ Assisted Living insurance.

This means that if something happens to me (like I fall and break something), I can now afford to have someone much like myself come in and take care of me every day!!!

Honestly, gang, when I am with my clients it is always in the back of my mind — what am I going to do if I ever need a home health aide? I can’t afford it!! And I know firsthand, what a difference it makes in someone’s life. Being able to stay at home and not have to go into one of those awful places where the poor elderly have to go to either recuperate or die.

My long term coverage starts February 1st (!!). And of course my Medicare starts July 1st. So on we go into the glorious sunset of old age… Actually, it really is a relief to me.

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

Okay. Honestly, gang. NO NEWS. Assuming of course that you ignore the false flags, the false-false flags, the psyops…

Naturally, il donaldo trumpo posted this AGAIN last night. I’m guessing it applies to just about everything going on out there right now–

GONNA NEED MORE POPCORN FOR THIS!!!😎🇺🇸🍿🍿🍿 (20 seconds):

And, at long last, it seems we are finally going to say goodbye to the (fake) Trudeau.

This is sort of in bad taste but it made me laugh out loud.

And our Daily Feature!!

What Would Keith Richards Do?

From Chapter Five: Daily Affirmations. The topic today is WRITING & SONGWRITING.

Keith says:

“I hate things that have only one meaning. I want words to pull triggers.”

Although “hate” is a strong word, I have to agree that, as a writer, I also hope that words are going to help make people think…

And lastly but not leastly!!

From over the weekend, when Nick Cave’s art exhibit opened at the Museum Voorlinden:

There is not much news this morning that isn’t loaded with optics, fear, insanity, or chaos.

But here I am anyway!

There was this–

And that is really it.

In other news …

I searched all over Instagram and online news sources, but I haven’t been able to find a single photo or review of Nick Cave’s conversation in Brooklyn the other night. I’m guessing it was great…

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

Today, I’m making a quick trip into town as soon as the weather clears. And then this afternoon, I should have the staged reading version of our play, “The Guide to being Fabulous,” ready to send back to Sandra so that she can take it with her to NYC when she starts rehearsals for the new play she is in at Playwrights Horizons, beginning September 3rd (!!!) (Everything is moving so quickly!!)

Other than that, gang, it has gotten to the point now where I am constantly in a state of PTSD. It is almost unbearable but I am somehow hanging in there.

I am still grieving over my dad’s dying In April, trying to process that. Then the tornado hit and destroyed half of our village. Then a homeless black cat who was on death’s door from the tornado, showed up on my porch starving to death and covered in sores and flies, and I have actually nursed him back to complete health (but he made cat #14 at the time). Then the fleas hit and completely took over my home. Then my beloved little cat, Lucy, died from the fleas. Then one of the foster cats almost died and almost lost an eye due to flea meds, but I nursed her back to complete health with colloidal silver and milk thistle and I saved her eye. Then I was being treated so disrespectfully at the train station by that new manager that I finally had no other choice but to quit…even though I was up to my eyeballs with cats and fleas and deadlines for the movie adaptation and the play and wasn’t really in the best frame of mind to look for work.

I am comfortable with the prospects for a new part-time job, though. I will post more about it when I know something concrete.

But other than that, I am stressed to the maximum around here and living in a constant state of mild terror. It has been the worst summer I’ve had in a really, really long time.

But, yesterday, there were these two things that cheered me considerably:

And that is it for now.

In other news.

Remember how, last week, there was what seemed like a cool interview with Nick Cave in an Australian magazine that I couldn’t access?

I think I found the video interview of Nick Cave online! Apparently it wasn’t just in print. It’s very similar to the interview he just did the other night with Stephen Colbert on Late Night. It was very good. (29 mins):

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

And, honestly, gang — that is it for right now.
