Happy Black History Month

I thought someone had said that the White House wasn't going to celebrate Black History Month this year? But apparently there's an official proclamation on the whitehouse.gov website. Well, they're still choosing to "celebrate" by blaming DEI for the helicopter/plane crash, and making civil servants snitch on each other about DEI. Such racist assholes. I heard that there's some big protest planned on February 5th, but I'm not sure why they picked a Wednesday? I guess to avoid Superbowl weekend or something? I don't follow sports.

I didn't watch the Grammys, but congrats to Beyoncé for album of the year and country album of the year too.

Personally I have had a bad few days and really need my next paycheck for my bills. Replacing a broken crown blew out my budget this month. I haven't had a chance to do my tax return either, but I gotta get that refund too. I'm too exhausted to keep doomscrolling the news. 

I'm gonna try to see Love Hurts this weekend for some relief. There's just too many horror movies at the theaters year-round and you can't even avoid the trailers. I don't even see any romcoms out for Valentine's Day; apparently those all went to streaming. I might as well see the new Paddington movie that weekend I guess. I did finally see the first one on Peacock. I initially avoided that because the stupid trailer had the yucky bathroom scene, making me think it was going to be stupid and gross, not cutely English and twee. It's also a bit Wes Andersony with the dollhouse scenes. The beginning with the Darkest Peru documentary reminded me of the explorer in Up, though this guy is genuinely nice and doesn't care about collecting specimens.
