Changed the channel and now catching the last bit of Kill Bill Vol. 1. Also a fun movie. I know it is archaic but as a child of the 80s I truly do love channel surfing on cable. The randomness of it all.

At the scene with Elliot and the frogs at school while ET Has a couple beers and watches TV. A long scene with almost no dialogue but sets up so much.

E.T. Is on TV. Don’t think I’ve seen it since it was re-released in theatres like 20 years ago. Spielberg really is a master at his craft. Holds up and just shot after perfect shot. The score. Even ET looks great. So wild how much I watched since that is homage to it.

WARNING!!!
It’s been brought to our attention that a fake website exists, misleading that the #ForeverCanadian petition can be signed online. With a laptop, they’re visiting senior homes.

My answer to the trend of “QT with someone you wish were still alive” is my beloved maternal grandmother. Mostly just so she could get an update on my life (or share her thoughts if she has been able to observe.) I think she would be very happy for me and I would love her to meet my kids.

Big Corporate Money Is Back in Alberta Municipal Elections | The Tyee
An Edmonton campaign shows how UCP changes opened the door to corporate influence.

Are you sure you’re listening? 🤨
Danielle Smith’s waste-of-taxpayer-money “Alberta Next” panels turned rowdy in Edmonton.
It’s clear they’re not interested in hearing from Albertans. The UCP just wants to continue to push their costly, destabilizing ideas on Alberta.
