Yes, up and... well, looking at it if not quite to it.

Overcast.  Wonderful though.  My body, it seems, still needs a bit of rest.  I couldn't get to bed until very late and woke even later than what that should have meant.  Sleep was wonderful though.  I let the girls sleep with me last night and yesterday.  Grumpmunches, until they settle down.  The company is good anyway.  They help me wake, too.  Hungry little furry bananas that they are.  Furry bananas with claws and teeth, ticklish whiskers, and very fast feet.  *swipe*  Missed by >...< that much.  Still, when they do wake me, I wake with a grin.  Girls after my very own heart, I tell ya.

I got caught up in some things last night, since I couldn't sleep.  I made a pot roast, beef chuck, in my cast dutch oven.  Browned it first, on the stovetop, then put potatoes below, added some water, replaced the roast, added a lid, and let it go.  I cook my beef a bit more raw, at least as roasts go, than most people like.  Still, that is how I like it.  Oh, but before that, I made popcorn and watched a movie.  The Season of the Witch.  It was, I suppose, sort of a pre-Friday Friday night?  Yeah.

The movie was okay.  I have avoided it, assuming it would be a sophomoric jab at the Church, or a horrid leftist preach about the crusades, or... anything, everything.  Those fuckers simply will not relent, plus they are wrong.  Actually, on those parts, it wasn't bad.  If there were jabs, I didn't see them.  As for the jab at the Church, it is no more than what I have gone through, at times, in my own ways.  Even now.  It is quite fair to lose faith in the men, and the institution, but not fail to continue to believe in the faith and God.  It's tricky, it's slippery, but so is all of life.

The movie was entertaining.  But not greatly so.  I enjoyed the sword play, politics within the film, notions presented, and cinematography.  The story was a little on the weak-sauce side.  Then again I believe in some of the things mentioned.  To a secular who has never heard of such things, and further doesn't believe in them, it might make for a slight trip into fantasy.  Even so, it does stray further into fantasy than fact on the topics.  All good, that is what a movie is sort of supposed to do.  It was worth my few bits for the rental.

As to the lead actor, though...  I keep wanting to not like him.  I keep ending up watching his movies to some worthwhile satisfaction.  I think there, theoretically, should be better actors for the parts, but I haven't seen any who step up and fill the part.  Much as with Keanu Reeves.  Oh, actually, I think I saw Season of the Witch about a week ago.  My how time and the morning fog mess with things.  It was John Wick I watched last night.  I'll review that before too long... maybe.

I suppose I should try to push through to the waking world, and get to some things.  I would like to finish off the kitchen, which I am making inroads on.  I'll do what I can.  Maybe another shower.  I like those things when I can get to them, daily, or at least every other day.  Hmm... with the bathroom clean, I might even take a bath.  I need to get some soaking salts, bubble bath stuff, or something.  I always used to laugh at women for this, until my last hooked me up right.  Being a man can mean being a damned fool sometimes.  But... I like it.  So do they.  *grins*  The little joys of being the fool and being the knowing, but never, quite, being sure which.  Love is surely in the air.

Later.
