We return now to East of Eden, where Cathy has left Adam and the sheriff cannot get any answers out of him why or how he was shot. #Booksky

I used to value my Harry Potter books. I would stay up late to read them. They used to have a place on my bookshelf. After she expressed her hateful views, I moved them to my closet. I can't do "love the art, dislike the artist" with her. #Booksky

My X feed has been pretty much dormant since October 6, 2024. I locked it down and have not posted there since. The one thing I miss there is @lisamariebowman.bsky.social's watch party Friday Night Flix, but it is just too toxic over there now.

Been a fan long before I was 18. They released Hard at Play around the time I graduated from high school. Their concert tour was happening when I turned 18 and was entered into a contest to see them live in New Orleans. I didn't win.

When Sununu was senator the first time, he looked like an elitist. I have to laugh now. He is trying to have this image of a rugged New Hampshire manly man. Complete with the bald head. Thankfully, Pappas is ahead in the polls and this clown will be taken down next month.

Finished. It goes along with Nate's brand of clean comedy. The story has been done before with Mr. Mom and it was upgraded for the 2020s. There are also plenty of another comedians that are cast in this one, including Nate's buddy, Will Forte. A marginal thumbs up. #Filmsky

Previously on East of Eden, the narrator profiles his mother, Olive Hamilton, a schoolteacher who refuses to be bogged down by social norms. She also puts the fear of debt into her children. During WWI, she sells war bonds and wins a trip on an airplane that makes her sick. #Booksky

Finished this last night. It is a good extension of the Stephen King story. The ending works as both a finale, as well as a cliffhanger if Flanagan decides to go that route. On top of that, it has King's seal of approval. Two thumbs up. WAY UP!!! #TVSky

Previously on East of Eden, Adam and Cathy have moved to Salinas Valley, California. Cathy tries to give herself an abortion and is reprimanded by the doctor. Adam is taken by a townsperson to see Samuel Hamilton to talk about a piece of land he decides to buy. He then buys the property. #Booksky

Pretty cool that Carrie is reading books that have been banned or challenged in school districts like I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, The Handmaid’s Tale and One Flew Over The Cookoo’s Nest. #TVSky #Booksky

You mean you don't like the sheer brilliance of Comics Unleashed where Byron Allen sets up a comic with a question and then they go into a scripted routine? 😆

Previously on East of Eden, the on again, off again relationship between the Trask Brothers continues. Adam decides to see the world. Later, Cathy shows up wounded. Adam nurses her back to heath. She starts to manipulate Adam, even drugging him one night and gets into bed with Charlie. #Booksky

So happy for this Sunday. We are getting the 49ers-Seahawks up here with the rest of the nation. Only Michgan, parts of the midwest and much of the state of Arizona are getting the Lions-Cardinals game.

Sign me up on the enemies list. It's AI and a lot of it is not super. Google AI puts me down a rabbit hole of endless answers and my conversation with Tilly Norwood was anything but super (she told me chess is her favorite sport LOL).

It's Chevy Chase's birthday today. I take a 'love the art, dislike the artist' approach to him. He has been in classics like Caddyshack, Fletch, Vacation and Christmas Vacation. Sadly, he reputation as a jerk is earned. Nobody wants to work with him.

Very classy thing by @wgbh.org to do this. I never got my viewer guide in the mail and they sending me out another one.

Previously on East of Eden, after Adam spends time in the army and then he treks around the country. It makes him a better person. When he returns to the farm, Charlie is a little bitter at him and his dad who has passed and left a huge inheritance for them. They both leave for California. #Booksky

Just when I thought Byron’s business show couldn’t get any worse.

Because we haven’t given Byron’s business show the business in a bit.

Previously on East of Eden, we meet the Hamilton kids: George, Will, Tom, Joe, Lizzie, Una, Dessie, Olive (the mother of the narrator), and Mollie. Aside from Lizzie, and compared to the Trasks, the Hamilton kids are fairly well adjusted and take on whatever comes their way. #Booksky

This is just sick. First off, Annie Andrews is not transgender. Second, using the word "trannie" is a pejorative. Third, this is the President of the United States saying this. Just sick.

Previously on East of Eden, we meet the Adam and Charlie Trusk. Charlie is the gifted one, and not shown any love or discipline from their father. He gives those things to Adam. This makes Charlie mad and beats up Adam. Adam is conscripted into the army while Charlie stays to tend the farm. #Booksky

Okay, finished. This is different from the original. Pierre has strong feelings for his best friend's daughter. In this one, Laurent feels regret for sleeping with his best friend's daughter, and does not pursue it any further. There is also some anger between the two daughters. #Filmsky

I just realized it is #BannedBooksWeek. I guess I lucked out as I finished Fahrenheit 451 and have started East of Eden today. Both have been challenged in school districts across the country. #Booksky

My favorite is the professor’s three rules of what books should do for us.

Time to start a new one. This was an impulse by since I want to watch the Netflix series. It’s time to transport back to another time where we will see the struggle and the Trasks and Hamilton families of the Salinas Valley in California. #Booksky

Continuing on why books are important in my life. Here is something I got for participating in an MS Read-a-thon when I was a kid when I was in Kindergarten. I read 50 books in a month. I also got a button and a coupon to Dairy Queen. #Booksky
