One of the things about the MF case, where does an 80 year old man get the energy,  I ask you?  I just can't imagine rolling out of bed at 80 years old and thinking "today is the day I inspect the interns"! I'm not trying to be funny either, I honestly find it strange that some people don't quit even when they are decrepit.

 

Eighty is not what it used to be!  I see some 80 year olds that are quite active.  Just today, I saw a news story of a man in his 90s who plays ice hockey twice a week, in addition to playing golf once a week.

 

Wasn't Cicely Tyson in her 80s when she won the Tony award for Trip to Bountiful?  It depends on the person, I guess.

My grandfather lived to nearly 100 years old and as a farmer, all through his 80s he still got up early and planted, tilled and tended!

^ Yes! There really are some inspiring seniors out there (not including the predators, of course). Some people are unstoppable it seems.

I hope he does some real time.  I'm not one to wish prison on people, but he has it coming.

Not to harp on the Arrested Development stuff, which I’m sure everyone is sick of/bored with, but David Cross has just done a Gothamist interview that is pretty revealing about the dynamics of that NYT interview and the AD set. Sounds like Tambor’s outburst at Jessica Walter was just awful (and Walter had a lesser outburst at Portia de Rossi’s stand-in, which Walter apologized for).

In my case, the man was almost 60 and over 20 years older than I when he pounced. There was no way I could have kept up with him...his sexual appetite was that voracious. So these MF allegations are not surprising to me. Disappointing, because his low-key, wise and gentle persona seems to be just that - a persona, but not surprising.

I had at least one very scary experience with a cab driver and a few that made me uncomfortable when I was younger.  I think getting in a car with a stranger is always a gamble, not that we always have much choice.  Getting my own car (which I only did after I left San Francisco in my 30's) was a huge boost to my personal safety. Even public transportation can led to trouble, but at least then there are other people around and you aren't worried you are going to be driven into the desert (Vegas) and killed. Turned out he just drove me 20 mins out of the way to jack up the fair.

 

Speaking of the Uber thing, look what happened not too far away from where I live:

^ Ugh. I feel for anyone who has to get in a strangers car on a regular basis or use public transportation.  I did both for years and it resulted in so ,many scary/uncomfortable instances.  This is why I cannot wait until the self driving car is ready to go.

Live images of Weinstein surrendering on CBS2 TV.  What a scene.  I think this is in regards to the criminal complaint of Lucia Evans.

I saw that People had an article on their "source" from Harvey Weinstein's camp. That magazine really has gone down the shitter. The most ludicrous bit was when they said "He still has his sense of humor." I'm so glad to know that. How incredible.

Seriously.  

 

I have to admit I never though he'd be held accountable.

Are you freaking KIDDING ME??? Excuse me while I go vomit.

 

Getting back to his press conference, ahem, turning himself in, what a smug, arrogant, unrepentant %#@$&^*€£!!!!

I can only hope that if he ever gets jail time that fellow inmates teach him a few lessons he'll never forget. I can dream, because if he ever does go to the slammer, it will be a minimum security palace and he'll be in solitary. 😠😠😠😠😠
