Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-4-2019: Jack Nicholson.

22nd April, 2019.

Yep!

It’s officially official: I’ve finished watching series two of Westworld.

And it has to be said, The Passenger did look rather good.

Although … 

Can I make a confession?

They’ve killed Thandie Newton.

She absolutely made that show!

~≈§≈~

In other news?

We know the Ukraine’s had it’s moments … 

Yesterday was possibly one of them.

The country’s just elected Volodymyr Zelensky as President: a man who’s made a living as both a comedian, and playing a fictional Ukrainian president.

A comedian … 

He really can’t be any worth than any other politician … 

~≈§≈~

And, as a LAST thought … ?

My sister, Ruth, and I tried installing Fortnite — the game — onto her PC, last night.

As Jude had been talking about it!

Frankly?

We couldn’t get it done.

I have to admit, I THINK that’s down to the verification email going astray.

Although I did have a look at downloading it, back at my place, when I got back home.

The bloody thing’s a 45 gigabyte file.

Forty five whole bloody gigabytes.

Blow THAT!

*        Oh, blimey, Narnia: I read Lewis’s work, myself, Debbi.   An edition of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe — with the pictured cover — was my first!   Did you know Tolkien and Lewis were old friends, and both devout Christians?   From different denominations, though: Lewis was an old school Ulster Protestant, and Tolkien an equally devout Catholic.   (Apparently, the Tolkien’s thing about Valar and Maia are based on Catholic theology: based on angels and Saints.   There’s other aspects, too.)
