The Night Cafe by Van Gogh
A pro and con critique of The Night Cafe by Van Gogh I have a kind of empathetic love for Van Gogh. His entire life was akin to the tortured existence which is so reminiscent of the emotional ups and downs which govern humanity's inner turmoil. A kind of madness which exists inside of us all, and rears its head, some can control it some cannot. And therein lies the rub. Who can say which of us is mad and which is, partially or completely, sane?

Diversity and the Critic
One of the weirder problems with being a critic is the wokeness problem. The essential problem is that encouraging diversity is good, but there are times when diversity gets pushed to the point where it actually becomes a parody of itself, and there are even times when it distracts from the film itself. Worse are those times when the need to diversify character types creates some weird situations due to the change in race or sex of the characters. This makes life interesting for the critic because calling it out can call down a lot of fire on the critic, creating its own issues. There needs to be some way to navigate the problem.

The Rose
There was this old rose bush in a neighbor's yard years ago that seemed to only bloom peach-colored roses. The neighbor said, "His wife planted that bush before she died and every time it blooms, I think of her. Her favorite color was peach and when I see those blooms she is speaking to me and sharing what she is doing now in heaven. Now, I do not talk back, but one day I will share with her again all the memories that she missed physically for I know she will know emotionally for she is watching over me now.

What is a Thesaurus?
Does anyone really use a print thesaurus anymore? To be honest I do not have one at the present time for it fell apart long ago, and these books if you want a good one are kind of expensive for me right now. For me this is a very helpful book for many reasons for one I would use one for more tautograms for I am mainly using my memory, and I seem to be repeating a lot of words over and over even if I think they are used in a different way. I could use a new one.
