What's everyone up to right now?

On my way to the store to purchase liquor: let the weekend off from work commense.

Trying to catch up on the news and the forum. Fortunately, weekends are both slow in terms of forum use and journalistic endeavors, leaving time for shopping, and reading the assigned reading for my philosophy group on Monday.

Went to a Beatles-tribute-plus-symphony show last night and had a great time.  A lot of audience participation, and I got to sing a few  harmony parts.  (Damned things are imbedded about 55 years deep in my neurons, along with all of Ringo's drum breaks and a huge number of piano and guitar riffs.)  Found myself teary-eyed on a few songs, and the symphony fucking nailed the rising cacophony in the middle and end sections of "A Day In The Life."

Currently juggling three tasks -- laundry, demolition, and writing -- and will be going out for my Saturday night bookstore coffee run in a few hours.

Just plugged in my electric hot water pot. Planning to have some tea in a bit. Finished my reading for my Monday philosophy group. Finished reading the email newsletters from the various news sources to which I subscribe. And I'm caught up on the forum. What to do now? I finished the final edit of several thousand music files in preparation for importing them into a media server, so that's no longer to-do. Only thing I can think of is that there may be a show about the Minnesota Vikings' game strategy for this week on my DVR. We shall see.

Eating a microwave pizza at work. All of my required paperwork is done for the night (night shift), so I'll probably jump into Diablo 3 to kill time until first shift rolls around.

I work the overnight shift, as well.  As a nurse.  Have the weekend off, just binge watching some Netflix at the moment.

Watching Werner Herzog's My Best Fiend.

Here's how it starts:





Seriously, if you didn't read the subtitles, most people would probably never guess in a million years that Kinski was supposed to be Jesus in this little monologue. The portrayal of Jesus as a wrestling heel is not one I can remember seeing in any other film.

That said, for all his pomp about how "I am not the official Church Jesus who is accepted by policemen, bankers, judges, executioners, officers, church bosses, politicians and similar representatives of power!" The sad thing is, he actually kind of is. Christianity wouldn't have survived if not for Constantine deciding to use him as a symbol of his successful campaign to control the Roman Empire, almost certainly using Jesus as more of a symbol of what he was already going to do anyway.

While those edges are usually filed off for public consumption, given that 80% of Evangelicals voted for Trump, who certainly has more in common with this Jesus than anything in the Bible, it's safe to assume that the only thing that might be disagreeable about this Jesus are A) his speaking in German, and B) his fashion sense. Even Kinski's alleged incest with his daughters probably wouldn't actually be that frowned upon with this Jesus.

Catching up on the threads. 6 pages of refugee has me blurry brained.
