HODGEPODGE JULY 31

 1. On July 29th 1957 The Tonite Show premiered with Jack Parr as it's host. This marked the beginning of the modern day talk show. Do you watch any daytime or late night talk shows today? Do you have any thoughts on the hubbub surrounding the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, or are you more in the camp of 'who is Stephen Colbert? 

Of course I don't know Stephen Colbert, in the four languages I know, I don't like talk shows at all. It's in all countries more or less the same, you are supposed to laugh and the guy on the scene is a big charmer with a big mouth. But once the show's over, he transforms—maybe not always, but usually—into a very unpleasant fellow who never pleases anyone and just complains.

2. What's the best part of your day? 

 

 

I have no idea, usually it's in the afternoon until 4pm and then my batteries are empty. But not always, I can have the best part of the day in the evening or even but rather seldom in the morning. Depends on my mood or my hormones. 

3. What's something your generation does that you actually dislike? 

That they talk a lot especially in politics and do nothing concrete since they have grown up. The best example is the hippie era or the riots in May 1968, when young people wanted to turn the world upside down. Today, they are probably, are brave fathers and mothers who eat organic food and no longer smoke.

4. When you cook do you clean as you go, or clean it all up once you're finished cooking? What's the last thing you cooked/baked in your own kitchen? 

 

I don't remember when I cooked the last time, but when I cooked I cleaned the kitchen when I had finished cooking. 

5. Sum up your July in ten words or less. 

Bronchitis, feeling better, bronchitis, feeling better etc. Now it seems to be finished. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I have a bit the blues ! It is already August now and it seems to me that fall is approaching, a season I hate. So today I see everything in black and have no special thoughts, the only thing which is positive now is my new Smartphone ! The bank app finally works, but it took them also a day because it is a new model full of safety protections! It was the first time that such a thing had happened, so I had served as guinea pig !
