Today is the Winter Solstice, the longest night and shortest
day of the year. What we now call Christmas,
the mythical anniversary of the birth of Jesus, was originally and more sensibly a celebration of the return of the Sun and hence of the rebirth of
life. It is only appropriate that
atheists like myself should on this day be compelled to suffer the rejoicing of
thieves and murderers masquerading as Republicans, drunk with joy at their
success in stealing from the poor to give to the rich. What an appalling country this is.
And yes, that one vote victory in Virginia has turned into a
tie, to be decided by a drawing of straws or a pulling of slips from a
hat. I suppose when someone has dumped
garbage on your head, it is only to be expected that you should at that very
moment also slip on a banana peel.
I am going to retreat into my binge watching and continue
the countdown to my birthday. Even
Tiggers have the right, now and then, to give a middle finger to the universe.
Nasty Tigger moments. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Elementary? A contemporary spin of
Sherlock in NYC, drug addict. Plus there are 5 seasons, each
with 23 episodes. My favorite of the new series was The Sinner,
a decently written mystery - and The Night Of, too.

ReplyDeleteElementary also co-stars Lucy Liu as Dr Watson. She's pretty good. She plays a rather self-contained and buttoned -up character as opposed to the sexy and/or evil parts that she often plays, and does it so well that you almost forget the beauty of that perfect face.
