o weather song, o weather song, why so many changes?

On the 9th, a Monday, I could not go to Music Bingo.

By 7 PM, the time it was to begin, the temperatures were already falling, with a -5 degree wind chill. 

Yes, I had gone out earlier, when the sun was out... but not after sundown.

That chilly vampire can bite into my heart! 

I checked back on the WSAV weather song on Wednesday, the 11th.

Tuesday and Wednesday had been blessedly warm as forecast, so much so that I had the windows thrown open to let all that in!

The song was to go right into its usual notes, with a slight warming trend!

 

That allowed me to plan on completing my AMC A*List trio that Thursday, which I did... kinda sorta.

Yes, I did see the Korean pop concert, but that was last Saturday. 

Yes, I did watch "Goat", the animated basketball movie with the inside joke in its anagram title - Greatest Of All Time - and laughed a lot!!!

Here's another inside joke: the giraffe is voiced by Stephen Curry, who literally is the GOAT for having popularized the 3-point shot.

So, what makes this a kinda sorta trio?

I didn't actually watch "Mercy" a second time, I just got a ticket for it.

Hopefully that will mean it will stay a bit longer!

 

Friday the 13th didn't quite make the note forecast, and steadily chilled.

However, its tune changed for the better after that, with a promise of super-duper 70's by midweek! 

Despite the chill in the evening, I still made it for the S&K Friday Fiesta and even treated myself to the Caldo Tlalpeno for a change.

Consider it a variation on chicken soup, with slices of avocado lurking within.

It was very tasty, but I didn't eat that roasted pepper on top - too hot for me!

So nice to see my brothers, SILs, Betsy, Jimmy, and Becca!

Lots of hugs to get... and to give!

 

Time to jump ahead two more days to Sunday, the 15th.

I had hoped to see an improvement for Monday, but it was the same.

No Music Bingo or Rom-Com Film Festival that night!

But I did go to a movie on Saturday and an SBHF7 event Sunday.

 

Let's jump right over that low note of Monday and well ahead to the steady notes through Thursday, the 19th, shall we?

Nothing but lovely warmth, even if there was a bit of rain.

Then, up ahead, the joyous tones give way to woe, sinking into the depths of despair and thrashing around in the basement again!

Drats.

Yet another Monday to be spent at home, eh?

That just meant I must plan ahead!

 

I still got in another trio on my A*List.

"Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die", the new science fiction with Sam Rockwell in the lead, was the movie seen on the 14th.

The story chronicled his 117th try at finding the right mix of people at Norm's diner who could help him succeed at giving AI of the future some laws of robotics.

Notice I said it was his 117th effort, so he was getting a bit jaded, but still persevered.   

I liked getting the back story on the people selected for that attempt.

One was a mother whose son was killed at a school shooting and been replaced, free by the government, by a clone.

Two were high school teachers who were at a school where shootings occurred and where substitute teachers were regularly said to have "gone on sabbatical" when they failed to show up.

Very dark at times, but also hopeful.

"Wuthering Heights" turned out to be a tale of obsession, not love.

Sure, it was beautifully filmed, but was a dark tale of broken people.

Only "Solo Mio" truly shone, brilliantly, serving as a love story to Italy.

It was so wonderful to 'be' back in Rome at the Tripoli Fountain and on the Spanish Steps, as I had been in 2012!

I loved 'being' back on the twisty, narrow streets leading to the piazza in Siena, and actually watching Il Palio there!

And I experienced Tuscany's vineyards in a new way, along with music from Andrea Bocelli in his home!

"Nessun Dorma" never sounded more emotional than when sung by that great tenor... and Kevin James, who truly can sing opera!!!

Oh, and what about that NCG Rom-Com Film Festival movie, "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days"?

I had to see it on my own, as Carolyn and I couldn't seem to get our schedules, and the weather, to cooperate. 

Fortunately, Comcast gave me that one as a reward a few years ago.

 

And just what notes have the weather song from Sunday, February 22nd, included for the week ahead?

Well, it rather reminds me of a line from a Herman's Hermits song.

"I'm Henery the 8th, I am,

Henery the 8th I am, I am,

I got married to the widow next door,

she's been married seven times before,

and every one was a Henery,

(Henery!) 

she wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam,

(No Sam!) 

I'm her 8th old man, I'm Henery,

Henery the 8th I am, I am,

Henery the 8th I am.

Second verse, same as the first!"

See what I mean by that?

Monday is a 'no Music Bingo' Monday yet again, with Tuesday being more of the same cold nonsense.

At least Carolyn and I have made plans to see the last of the Rom-Com movies together on Thursday, with dinner afterward!

I am so thankful for warm days sooner rather than later!
