Sometimes the stranger you meet is all persona: on-line, off-line, all the time.

I'm Giles.

But more than that, I'm Giles for you.

As I briefly dawdle before scraping and painting the balcony, I proffer this observation from a seasoned movie reviewer:

"Mesmerizing cinematography" typically means there's a lot of stationary camera shots of static images.

Good luck out there, everyone.

I dunno.

Episcopalians do an entire performative service about God & the like before our real service, the subsequent coffee hour.

"The Falls" is a whimsical delight.

And three hours in length.

Speaking from my experience, because corners can be turned.

Good luck out there.

A poke in the eye for Mr Lang, at any rate.

Giles for You @gilesforyou.bsky.social · 1d

He shouldn't take it so personally: most everyone makes that out of him.

Giles for You @gilesforyou.bsky.social · 1d

A classic motion picture, to be certain.

Question from the audience: how many chicken(s) are in that photograph?

I'm seeing one elongated bird, the individual to my left sees two birds, one largely obscured.

I dig the idea, and I am reminded of the two schools of acting re: proper Muppet interaction.

1) The Caine Method: pretend the Muppets are other people.
2) The Curry Method: pretend you're one of the Muppets.

To celebrate ethnic diversity.

It'd be an even-odds exercise for me to commit which was which, but gosh: seeing the () v. [] is something I haven't thought of in decades.

I would also like a return to its proper noun status, so that we all keep on our toes when using the Internet.
