Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-12-2019: Stan Lee

28th December, 2019.

It has to be said, I’ve got bad news.

The interview I went for for?

Last week … ?

Decided not to hire me.

I have asked for feedback: which should come through on Monday.

Hopefully, that’ll be information I can use.

Assuming I get an interview that I can use it at … !

~≈†≈~

One nice thing that’s happened?

Is that I managed to catch a movie, last night.

Yep: I’ve finally caught Joker.

I think — in amongst the incoherent video review — we can say one thing.

It’s one hell of a movie.

Joaquin Phoenix’s performance is something else!

*        I know what you mean about skills, Olga!   It’s not so much the buttons … it’s what you do with the blessed things!   (You know, I keep meaning to see more musicals: I’ve only sat down with Fiddler on the Roof and West Side Story.)
