One of Those Token Posts

I have no time to create a significant post here today. 

The reason for this is because I had spent a few hours creating a very lengthy post in my private blog, and doing so consumed my afternoon. It even cost me some backyard sunning this afternoon.

That post in my private blog is mostly comprised of the reproduction of an old 40-year-old journal entry of mine that I had typed out on two full pages on this day back on May 29, 1979.

That entry covered the period since my previous journal entry of May 14, 1979.

As I said, the blog is private, but anyone can request access to it.

Forty years ago I was 29 years old and living in Surrey. But I shall say nothing further ─ the blog is private for a reason, obviously.   

All else I will mention in this post is tuning in a movie at 10:00 a.m. this morning for my younger brother and I to watch. It ran long ─ over 2½ hours: American Honey.

Although interesting enough ─ for central character Starr is quite appealing and fetching as portrayed by actress Sasha Lane ─ my brother announced at its conclusion that it had been a huge waste of his time. 

I somewhat agree. However, it was very well acted ─ at times, the acting was so natural that it seemed like a documentary about a group of very young, itinerant, magazine salespeople, and not a movie at all.

But it finished in most unsatisfying fashion. I wanted to see Starr make a better choice with her life, but the movie ended with her changing nothing about her status.

And at the very least, I wanted to see the Jake character get his total comeuppance ─ the guy needed to be put in prison. But nothing of the sort happened to the prick.

Anyway, I hope to be able to make a better post tomorrow.
