You don’t have to drink alone.
Sunday is Easter. During quarantine that means no restaurant brunch. But that doesn’t mean I won’t be drinking endless Mimosas. And watching movies. I never really understood why The Ten Commandments was an Easter tradition. YouTube will be streaming Jesus Christ Superstar the Musical free, and NBC is broadcasting one of their weird live remakes of the same at 7:00 pm, starring John Legend. And while I do like the music from the show I think I’m gonna go old school and watch Harvey , a story about a man and his imaginary 6 foot bunny friend, on YouTube. Or maybe Cookies Fortune, an Easter murder mystery/ comedy directed by the great Robert Altman, and starring Glen Close, Charles S.Dutton, and Ned Beatty on Netflix.
What does your Easter holiday look like in isolation? Or how did you celebrate Passover?
i think ill go watch jesus christ superstar..lol.. musta been about 20 years since i last watched it… good music in that movie..and one of few religious offerings that dont piss me off…sooo bonus
but for tonight and in the spirit of happy hour…i think ill go with pokey
oh hey…im already feeling happier…i think this is working
I like the music in Superstar a lot. But no way am I watching the NBC one. I might watch the stage show on YouTube.
Fun fact: the guy who played Jesus in the original recording was Ian Gillan of Deep Purple.
I think I knew that, maybe?
He was so much better than the guy they cast for the film.
Definitely, movie Jesus was weak.
They’re both very good dogs. 😊
Oh my God, so cute!
I saw this on twitter earlier – it is awesome.
I have a dog whose favorite toy is whatever the other dog is playing with.
There’s a big ol’ Black and Tan that goes to our dog park that will bully toys away from other dogs then walk away and literally spit the toy out, lol. He’s such an asshole! But it’s entertaining to watch.
Ever since we were dating, Mrs. Butcher and I would have Traditional Easter Sushi. Doesn’t look like the streak will continue this year, so we’ll probably work in the garden instead.
Easter sushi is a very good tradition, I’m sorry you’ll have to miss it this year.
Since, Mother Nature is the only deity that I acknowledge – I will be planting native plants for pollinators. My perennials are the only thing I’ve ever seen rise from the dead – so this Easter is for them.
Pollinators need all the help they can get. We’re fortunate in that one of our neighbors keeps bees.
I think we will make a classy Easter dinner…
You joke, but one year my sister brought to my parent’s house a cake decorated with a white chocolate crucifix laying on top. My always irreverent brother picked it up, broke Jesus’ legs and replaced it saying, “ there, now it’s more authentic .” My mother was not amused and the traditional holiday arguing began.
…if he didn’t stick a skewer in the ribcage I’d argue he was trying to meet your folks half-way?
…much as I’m not a fan of added drama at family gatherings…I cracked a grin when I read that so I guess your brother landed that joke in some houses…for whatever that might be worth
My brother is a very funny guy.
I have friends that get a Happy Birthday Jesus cake on Christmas.
Haha! We always say that before we eat dinner on Xmas day. This year I’m going to get a cake.
Not holiday related but my daughter’s friend had people over to her house one night after the bar closed, as you do. One of her buddies got into a fight with a guy they didn’t know very well and he got stabbed. Fortunately he lived. And she bought him a cake that said Sorry You Got Stabbed. It was all over the internet for a minute. You can see it if you Google it.
Holy shit. I would have gotten thrown out for laughing as hard as I am now.
They are … unique! They also do it in all seriousness.
I can’t watch a movie online. sit down for 1.5-2 hours? impossible. too many distractions! I keep hitting pause or I forget and keep hitting rewind. bottom line: I never finish what I started…
Do you watch on TV and wander around while they’re on?
no, tv/dvd are ok. not so many distractions….
web, email, mp3s, youtube…. I don’t started a chance!
…you might want to appreciate that being your problem while you can…I know more than one person who has trouble making it to the credits without nodding off
…at a certain point an inability to stay awake to the end of a columbo rerun can, I am reliably informed, make a person feel old
Keitel dropped of the Easter baskets to his cousin’s children from an acceptable distance. Had my son and his family’s mailed last week. We generally host between 12 and 15 folks at each holiday so I am thankful that I will not be doing a full house cleaning, massive cooking, and too many loads of dishes. That said, not seeing them all is kind of sad. We will garden (Keitel), do income taxes (me) and try some pasta or fish recipes. Plus I made MegMeg’s classic chocolate chip cookies this morning. Wishing you all a safe and healthy holiday. 🐇🐇🐇
It is a bit of a relief but I’ll miss the madness a little.
