Checking In - 2 Jan 2020
Jan. 2nd, 2020 04:36 pmAL-most mis-typed the old year in the header up top. AL-most, but not quite.
Checking the Public Service Commission job boards because I live in Ottawa-Gatineau, and you never know the odds for sure...and also the e-mail alerts I've subscribed from the federal job bank, Indeed, Workopolis, Jobilico, and a couple of other sites across the Net.
I just e-mailed a British friend to speak of our shared enjoyment of the movie version of The Death of Stalin, specifically Jason Isaacs' performance as Zhukov. If there's a person in that whole glorious mess who actually came close to being a "good" guy, Zhukov - flaws and all - might have the best chance of it as portrayed by Isaacs. Steve Buscemi's performance as Khrushchev came close. Yes, it's full of historical errors. Duly noted in several quarters, that detail.
Speaking of movies: my plan has been revised re: Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker. I hope to watch that at the cinema tomorrow night. That, for good or ill, will be my first movie-watching of 2020. Narrowed down to two cinemas within reasonable transit distance.
