That's Entertainment?

What a disappointment! Last night's Academy Awards show was really dull and sad. Everyone making political comments and socially significant speeches. What used to be a fun evening has turned into a showbiz grandstanding. Maybe I'm becoming a grumpy old man but for Pete's sake...bring back the fun and glamour of yesteryear!

The 2021 Academy Awards Show!

I've always enjoyed watching the annual Academy Awards since the early 60s, but they have become increasingly lacking in excitement for me.  The fact that I have not seen any of the films nominated and  that I do not know who the nominees for the acting awards are, make the show less and less attractive each year.  Anyway, it's a tradition I'm willing  to keep as long as possible.

 

The COVID-19 Vaccination Sessions!

All the doctors and nurses handling the vaccination sessions during this pandemic are doing an excellent job, well above and beyond duty and they should be commended for their monumental efforts but... I'm still hoping for a fantastically gorgeous supermodel nurse to handle my shots.  Is that asking too much?

 

Keeping The Virus At Bay!

After I got my second anti-COVID vaccine, I guess it's just a matter of following all the Covid pandemic safety rules, taking care of myself, and hopefully, all will be well.

 

My Second COVID-19 Vaccine Shot!

I finally got my second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine today. 

The fight against the coronavirus isn't over yet but we're all better protected to deal with it now!

In a Western Mood...

Four months into 2021 and we're still trying to get rid of this pest!

 

THE OLD GEEZER JOURNAL

UNTIL THE REAL THING COMES BACK...

Getting hugs and kisses from beautiful girls through the internet is simply not the same!

Here's hoping the pandemic is over soon, kid!

 

The Social Media

 

I CAN DREAM, CAN'T I? (from the song of the same name).

 

The Password Hassle!

Keeping your personal data private and secure is admittedly very important but constantly changing all your passwords on every account, website, social network and application is just too much for an old geezer like me to handle!

 

COVID-Style Easter Eggs!

Enough safety measures, you think?

 

APRIL FOOL'S DAY!

Don't let it fool you!  The pandemic is not over yet!

 

HOLIDAY WEEK, CORONAVIRUS STYLE

 

The temptation of taking off for a vacation week at the beach or any other nice and peaceful resort is much too hard to resist but...times won't allow for any weakness.  So instead, I'm staying locked at home and having a great holiday sitting in front of the TV set.  Drat!

My first shot of the COVID vaccine!

Today I got my first COVID vaccine shot. If all goes well, I'll get the second one in 21 days!

FYI, I am Team Pfizer, if anyone's interested!

 

STEVE McQUEEN : The King of Cool!

 

March 24, 1930 marks the birth of Steve McQueen, one of the truly great stars of the 60s and 70s. McQueen died in 1980 at the very early age of 50, due to a rare form of lung cancer, associated with asbestos exposure. However, his film legacy will keep his name alive for generations to come.

Today would have been his 92nd birthday and in his memory, I will post this list of some of my favorite McQueen films. I have already seen most of his filmography and, to be perfectly honest, I admire all of his performances, although these few here are the ones that stand higher in my very personal preference.
