The New Year Moves Onward

We are into the third day of '9, and the weather and the current war are the weekend news. Israel finally moved troops into Gaza and the fighting has been hot so far, according to TV news reports. This would be a good time to get into all my bookmarked news websites, which I have not explored for a while due to being obsessed with YouTube. The weather today is the local issue to deal with. It got cold and windy about the sun went down and all of a sudden the the streets were iced over and the wind is blowing bitterly. I walked across the street a while ago to the local convienience castle and fell sprawling twice. The roads all over Iowa are iced up, and supposedly the temp will only be 18 tomorrow. A day inside to look forward to. As of right now I am watching a vhs I have of Sullivan's Travels. Supposedly Preston Sturges' masterpiece, but I am not a complete devotee of PS. I think he tried too hard to be Brilliant. Everything is brilliant in Sullivan's, but maybe this one needs more than one watching to get all he gave us. Yesterday I rented some movies to say I had seen, even if I had little hope for each of them. Surfer, Dude was good for Woody Harrelson's surfer stoner, and some great shots of Cal. seaside scenery. and then I watched 10,000 BC, which was a dog, and then I watched Mamma Mia, which was a wretched thing, even with the ABBA music. Enough of that. As Sullivan's.. keeps going along, it seems to be getting better and better. Joel Mccrae is now on a chain gang that they must copied for Cool Hand Luke. This is going to be all for right now. You all stay warm in this winter. Di di mau!
