    Jared Leto played the Joker in Suicide Squad (the movie is better known for Margot Robbie's role as Harley Quinn). The movie was OK but that's true of most DC films, Marvel's are better for the most part.

     

    Jared Leto is the lead singer for the band 30 Seconds To Mars. You might have heard their song The Kill (Bury Me)...you might not. I like it.

     

    Did you know that or did you have to google it?  I know as much about Jared Leto as I do about the love life of Venusian swamp frogs.  But ask me who Kate Smith was and I'm ready to educate you.  Kudos & Geritol for those who know.devil

    What scandals, I haven't heard of any with Jared Leto.

    Yeah, there really wasn't much to go on, so scandal is really overstating things. But there is a rumor he gave a used condom to a costar and he has had to answer questions about that in interviews. Other than that (and giving someone a rat or bullets) there's only the high prices he charges for retreats and meet and greets as far as I know. So I made a joke about the condom. 
     

    Hmm... So he's not a guitar playing gorilla with an identity crisis after all... or whatever I said earlier... really, it's hard to keep track of all the nonsense I go on about and I stopped listening to me long ago.

    Are you also an expert on other swamp frogs?

    I did know that without Google. I still have a fondness for Rock and Metal music and a subscription to Amazon Unlimited Music.

    And Kate Smith? "God Bless America", I remember her from Ed Sullivan. At nearly 68 I have a long musical memory. smiley

    The Kill was a good song. Listened to it many times. But I honestly didn't know that was Jared Leto in that particular band because I never bothered to google them. I know Jared Leto from movies like Suicide Squad. I liked what he did with his role as the joker. Not sure I approve of method acting though. Seems like it would bother a lot of your costars and might mess with your head.

    I had a mini psychotic break last night. As I was getting ready for bed, I saw the Bearglove deodorant in the bathroom, and my brain suddenly became obsessed with finding anagrams. Some highlights include: 

    • Brave Lego
    • Love Barge
    • Verbal Ego
    • Gavel Bore
    • Balrog Eve

    This is why I don't sleep.

    Brave Lego... The lego that throws itself under your foot to save the other legos...

    Love Barge... The edgier "re-imagined" post Covid reboot of Love Boat that takes place on a garbage barge off the Hoboken piers in New Jersey.

    Verbal Ego... Dennis Miller?

    Gavel Bore... A dull judge or a tool for hollowing out judicial mallets.

    Balrog Eve... A feminine wash product for lady Balrogs... mostly lava and sulfuric acid.

    We had a plumbing major issue. Some plumber dude came and saved the day. However it is now night time now and quickly approaching bed time.

    I went to a wedding today...
    This is Henry the Peacock... I think he was supposed to be the valet, but I parked my own car because I don't know if you are supposed to tip Peacock valets... 
    Also there were several cars crashed into the fence and one upside down and on fire a little bit, so I thought Henry wasn't doing a good job.

    Sorry about the poor photo quality, I had to use digital zoom because Henry wanted $20 for a close up... Thats Times Square pee smell Elmo cash bro... ain't giving' no chump pimp ass chicken $20. 
    Excuse that... I generally get along with "fancy" birds.

    There were several other peacocks there... I don't know if the others worked there or if we were supposed to take them home with us like centerpieces after the reception... I told a couple of people that, but I didn't check to see if they followed through...

    There are a lot of peacocks on Long Island... I think it has something to do with all the ginormous estates and weddings places on the north shore of Nassau county... or they are up to something with the squirrels... 

    Strange alliance.

    Anyway... that was my day... I got cookies and gelato at the reception!... no cake though... I think they forgot half our table.

    The cake really is a lie!

    I hope this wasn't like the Eddy Izzard bit with "Cake or Death"... cause, I got gelato and cookies and nobody actually asked what I wanted.

    Oh well... it was good gelato... more of an "ice" than a real gelato, but it was good...I got hazelnut and coconut.

    Yum.

    That's all...

    Not being a particular fan of small dinosaurs in general, peacocks no longer enchant me.  I used to like them.  They look so regal, stately and elegant in photos and films.  Then I lived on a college campus that made a point of displaying their peacocks in the college brag brochures that the parents see when deciding where to let their kid go to.  Let us just say that because of their persistent screaming in the jungle around the dormatories (the peacocks, not the parents), it did not end well for the peacocks.  One evening, after the shots we heard during prime study time, there were no more dinosaur screams for many months until more dinosaurs were imported to strut the campus.  That group population dwindled to extinction more slowly but there was no third attempt to bring back the peacocks.

    Hey, what can I say?  It was Florida.  In the '60s.  In a backwoods little city on the edge of cow country (at the time). At a tiny little college that, at the time, was 95% male. 85% of whom were living away from home for the first time.  Undiciplined testosterone!indecision

    Of course I knew mail still exists...

     

    Get it... "Juno"... "you know"... 

    No?...

    Its funny damn it!

    My superior wit is wasted on you mortals!

    Sometimes it's really difficult figuring out the superior wit of you immortals.  You have all the time in the world for obscure wit, whereas we are mere mortals.  We're about to die any minute here (galactically speaking), and you're playing "knock knock" jokes on us! 

    We don't always need 40 days of rain and flooding.  Sometimes we just need a burning bush or a plague of locusts to get the point across.

    We still have peacocks in Orlando, Winter Park, and surrounding areas.  Like geese and sand-hill cranes, peacocks can have a temper.  If they don't like you, they'll walk right up to you and quickly bite you in your nether regions!  I have no idea who taught all the bigger birds how to do that, but I think that may be one reason we roast and eat some of them!

    I haven't heard the screams at night, but occasionally a rooster will move in and you'll hear HIM all night!  No, they do NOT wait for dawn to start in on their crowing!  And yes, I do think they get their necks wrung in the middle of the night!

    Balrog Eve is actually the day before Balrog Day. 

    A common mistake.

    I lived in Winter Park for one year ('83-'84)  and there was a park near us on the north side of one of the lakes that had a pride of peacocks.

    Regrets:  I should have kept that house in Winter Park for a few more years. $$$$$$$.  Quiet, lush tropical, exotic, now an even more high rent district.  But had I not moved to Washington, DC I wouldn't have had that 10 year peak of my career working with a think tank full of sophisticated, amazing engineers & scientists.  Nor had the opportunity for major travel or cultural advantages of the city.

    I have a think tank. Well, it isn't the best. All it wants to focus on is what goldfish want to eat. Forgot the fascinating study of fake aquarium plants and the digging in the gravel substrate.

    maybe my think tank is more like a goldfish tank?

    ...we had them wandering around loose in Audubon Park New Orleans which was across St Charles  From the Loyola and Tulane campuses  I the mornings and evening you could hear their screeches eve on campus. Surprised none of them were flattened by a car or the St. Charles streetcar which ran on the middle boulevard.

    ...today is very "unsimilar" to yesterday which was warm and somewhat humid while today it's cool with persistent water from the sky.

    As to returning to the workplace, I take it you are not looking forward to the long commute into the city again.  Do you still have your paratransit status?
