Browncoat

My sister tried to bring a sword home from Spain (in the 70s), but it was confiscated at security in Madrid. They told her they'd check it for her, but she never saw it again. It wouldn't fit in her checked bag.

I got the same message on Safari just now.

Tunde is the best -- introducing Dele to Sugarhill Gang!

I surprised myself by getting FJ tonight. I can barely name any baseball players, much less pitchers, and then to have that narrowed further? I can name exactly two African American baseball players, so I had a 50-50 shot. I got lucky. I also got the TS of monocle chronicle, hawk talk, swords, and apes.

I'm out -- see y'all next year!

Well, now I'll have to watch CODA!

Definitely not the best movie. It sugarcoated a lot. But I totally agree that Jessica was really good in it.

I liked Parallel Mothers a lot more than I expected to. Definitely worth a watch.

Tony needs to step it up a little, too. Though I cut him some slack because he's 150 years old.

Well, yeah. The band is afraid he'll punch them, too!

Wrap it up, Will. It's getting late.

Will is a better actor than I thought.

Dude, you're standing there talking about taking abuse? Sure, buddy, sure.

Oh well. I actually would have liked to have seen Denzel win. His was an outstanding version of Macbeth. "Fierce defender of family". Okay.

I LOVE that Sam has the briefcase.

OK, Jane, keep your foot out of your mouth this time. Oops, too late!

Get on with it, Kevin. Did he take lessons from the William Shatner school of award presentation?

Boo, hiss. I really wanted Lin-Manuel to win.

Except Sidney Poitier. He deserves all the special tributes.

And as usual, too much emphasis on the music/singers/dancers.

It would be nice if we could get to the In Memoriam before 11.

Yay! Summer of Soul was great! So much fun, and so much great music. I highly recommend it.

I have revised it up to at least 45 now.

Too many f-bombs flying around.

I liked Power of the Dog a lot. It might not have been an action-packed, thrill-a-minute ride, but the buildup and tension were incredible.
