BECKETT’S “HAPPY DAYS”






“Well I thought that the most dreadful
thing that could happen to anybody
would be not to be allowed to sleep
so that just as you’re dropping off
there’d be a ‘Dong’ and you’d have
to keep awake…Samuel Beckett in
preparation for writing his second
most famous surreal play, “Happy Days.”

The woman in the middle of the record 
store line in the 1988 video below might 
be actress Rita Tushingham (Dr. Zhivago, 
Last Night In Soho) or Sally Hawkins 
(Shape Of Water, Wish You Were Here, 
Spencer) 

I didn’t think to ask the late Dame Maggie 
Smith who isn’t in the video.  But she was 
at a *Downton* NYC Houston St. Whole 
Foods sitting two tables away shortly 
after 2022’s Academy Award Oscar ceremonies in LA.

I don’t have a TV and didn’t watch the 
Oscar’s but did see late Dame Smith 
in “Death On The Nile” and in the 
movie production of “Downton Abby.” 

I indiscreetly asked the “excuse me, 
are you… Q-(yes-tíon)?  Which Mrs 
(Not Winnie, not Winston, not Will)
Smith denied and DID NOT slap me 
for asking. 




And since “Every Day Is Sunday” I was 
not imbibing.  She was Maggie Smith
just as sure as the music in Morrissey’s
video was probably not, as previously 
stated, accompanied by “The Smith’s.” 

The fem behind the record store counter 
in the video below isn’t former U.S. intel 
specialist, Reality Winner.  “Reality” made 
her initial reality debut a few years after 
this 1988 video was made. 

Winner sent Trump-Russia classified 
material to The Intercept.  It’s likely 
that star RW/ LW horseshoe political reporter at the time Glenn Greenwald, 
of all people, directly or indirectly 
allowed FBI access to same.  Resulting 
in her 5 year incarceration.


Nat. Sec. Advisor Mike Waltz and 
Chief of Staff Susie Wiles left sensitive info on Venmo.  Others did it on Signal.

Is Reality Winner’s nickname “Winnie”
by any chance?   As an intel specialist 
she was involved in state-side language translation, Middle East drone attacks.  











The Everyday Sunday video locates 
on a British beach resort that’s seen happier days.  

Life’s a beach and then you you die, 
but not before your sleep deprived 
“Happy Days" invite arrives. ¡Dong!





Video is based on the “Happy Days”
Beckett play.  The driver was Beckett’s 
favorite actress Billie Whitelaw.  Who 
I saw playing Winnie at the Old Vic in 
Beckett's “Happy Days" in 1970's 
London.  

In the play her captivating blonde 
head was the only visible part of her looking out over the beach sands 
(of time) stage setting.  

Not to mention the beach sands 
as metaphor for the layers of 
dresses, slips and petty coats 
few women wore in “days of yore.”

Here’s Asian Winnie quarantining 
without Willie with full handbag, 
sans beach and sand and maybe 
making fun of Rosina from 
“The Barber of Seville.”

The monologue is based on but isn’t 
from the original.




Naturally after the 1970’s London 
play, sleep deprived me went to 
the bar next door and had beers.  Afterwards, while walking down underground stairs…

…I can't blame Beckett or the beer.  
The combination along with a full 
backpack and rain sent me free-fall 
surfing down subway stairs and into 
to a free British dental clinic looking 
AWIL “American Werewolf In London.” 

From London Pub to underground moors…



Fictional Brit pub mates were late to
rescue Americano’s from the werewolf. 

“Slaughtered Lamb” Chelsea Bell 
counterparts would’ve helped…
…the lycanthrope.  Or Arbrey 
Marcus and “researcher” buddy 
John (Juan).  Whichever came first.  

After seeing both of the latter at a 
table outside the above bar having seemingly choreographed “laughs,” 
(all together now)  I magically saw 
their “DMT” drug YT video.  That 
featured Marcus and bearded John 
(aka, not Don Juan Castaneda) 
doing “academic” “scientific” 
DMT psychedelia.

When their AG1 Athletic Greens 
grifter daz were just getting started.

As the late great John Prine in his 
prime said before and, courtesy of 
Harry Tuttle’s YT channel, says 
again…“Some Humans Ain’t Human.”







Speaking of which, below is 2021’s 
“Werewolves Within.”  Rural American 
oil pipeline comedic horror movie. 

The “innocent” female bystander in 
the bar turned out to be…the Irish 
accented xenomorph lycanthrope 
Post Office “Big Gov” fem Beasty.  
Played by Russian immigrant actress, Miliana Aleksandrovna Vayntrub. 





Back To “Happy Days”




Billie Whitelaw and Beckett:




…the “Gong!” sound waking Winnie 
up on the set of “Happy Days” wasn’t 
a storytelling device to keep her and 
the audience from dozing.  Or maybe 
it was.

Billie Whitelaw died in 2014.  

I've had the “Everyday Sunday” video on 

this page since at least that time.  It was 

only in 2016 that I recognized 
Whitelaw in the 1st video and that 
she also happened to be a very close 
simulacra to a post 911 former girlfriend.  
How possible?  


Just my imagination?  My imagination 

isn’t up to processing half the 
Manhattan strangeness I see 
everyday including Sunday.


Only after seeing the play again in 2017 

at BAM with Diane Weist as Winnie 

(female version of *Winston* Smith?) quarantining on the beach with Willie 

did I realize that...


 


sudden sharp click sounds were used to similar effect in the BAM avant-garde revival “The Old Woman" costarring Willem Defoe and starring 
Russia born Mikhail Baryshnikov.  


Mikhail’s 2022 open letter to Putin: 

“‘World of Fear':…it is your Russia that

will die from its own horror unless it 

wakes up…”


Will Putin hear that ¡Dong! “woke” 
sound in his Russian very fast moving
“paranoid style” brain/ train while 
waging Ukraine war?  No!

Sharp click sounds were also used in 

“Constellations" on Broadway with 

Jake Gyllenhaal. 


I saw Jake (“hey, it’s all about choo!”
Nope, it’s about…) a jammed NYC 
auditorium with Jake talking about 
crime and cops after a cop role. 

PBA female police union reps and 
US Marines at opposite ends of the auditorium gave Jake the predictable “copaganda” hard time.  (Likely not 
the female police union reps making 
the meth drug selling and arrest 
news…or maybe they were) 

That’s what happens when movie 
stars try politics.  It happened to 
Matt Damon with Koch (oil) owned “Reason” magazine reporters 
hounding Matt back in the Obama 
years.  Just after playing a fledgling politician in “The Adjustment Bureau”
aka “The Adjustment Team.”

Back to Beckett:

Elon Musk named his tunneling drilling

machine "Godot" from Beckett’s  

“Waiting for Godot” (leave off last 

2 letters).  Because both were 

deliberately made to be so "boring."  


Recently the clicks became like angry 

loud cracks of sudden thunder similar 

in volume to that heard in "Personal 

Shopper" dealing with the paranormal.  

Full frontal Kristen Stewart deserved a 

2022 Oscar for “Spencer” as Lady Diana. 





It just so happens that as I re-edited this 
mess one day after the Aug. 21, 2017 
eclipse that actual deafening cracks of 
thunder and rain hit my Manhattan NYC 
windows.  

No ball lightning.  Ten years before I 
actually saw ball lightning in my 2007 
apartment tracing the edge of my 
living room ceiling during a nasty 
thunder storm along with a 
slight static sound. 


Like the Liu Cixin SF novel “Ball Lightning” 

where US and China go to war.  Deploying quantum “ball lightning” weapons.  

“Stranger Things” occur when *observing* 

quantum weapon states in the macro-

verse.  Observation?  Or the effects of 

gravity? 


No Trump Q-Cumber “hurricane guns,” 

no alcohol or indoor Chinese spy balloons 

needed.   Ball Lightning is very real.  Let’s 

hope that weaponry stays in the realm of science fiction.


Like the sound of exploding ordinance in 

the summer of 2020 Manhattan both 

before and after the 4th of July COVID

and BLM demonstrations.  Thunder 

echoing off buildings?  Yes.  Fireworks 

by BLM demonstrators?  Leading to fake 

gun shot reports by “Citizen” watch.



=============================


On my last day at work a 6' 4" 

black co-worker made a point of 

telling me what I would find among 

what he called “daytime people.” 

I was the white guy about to become 

one of them.


Like many others I refused to 
believe  what I was seeing in 
2015 and 2016 in NYC would 
somehow translate into the 
2016 presidential Electoral 
College win for a 71 year old 
rich clown New Yorker with 
spray tan painted cheeks, Aryan 
dyed hair and eyebrows enabling 
him to lose the popular vote to 
Hillary Clinton.  And lose the 
2020 popular vote again to 
Joe Biden.  Now mysteries of 
ancient history. 

One place where 45/ 47 got his 
votes?   Bar, restaurant, hotel, 
gym, condo owners in debt.  And 
police, sheriffs, deputies, ICE,
militias and amazing evangelical, 
Baptist hierarchies.  All rooting 
for one of their own.  Or so they
hope. 

After the “2008 Great Recession”
debt/ bank bailout all those 
mentioned above just went 
further into the red.  Which 
meant owning, refinancing 
more bars, gym’s, condos, hotels.

In 2020 they were first in line 
for Trump COVID PPP loan relief.  
For employees they had and 
didn’t have and for businesses 
they did and didn’t own.  

Many had fake and legit loans forgiven.  2025?  More loans, 
tax cuts and many pardons.  

Plus a Mike Johnson 2025 
repeal of *socialust* ACA, 
Obamacare?  Medicaid replaced 
by Heritage Project 2025 Charter healthcare? Privatize Social 
Security?  The P47 “Adjustment 
Bureau” “disruption.”
 
Publicly denied and privately discreetly shouted via “Medicare 
Advantage,” Religious scam fake health insurances and disguised weekly Medicare Advantage “upgrade” adverts for seniors.

Draft dodging…
Trump had his B-day DC parade. 
He once wanted to bomb meth/ 
fentanyl labs in Mexico.  Not a 
bad or smart idea.  Didn’t work in 
Afghanistan.  Mexican drug 
cartels, with more $, proximity 
and weapons than the Taliban.  Cartels, with help from foreign 
enemies can bomb, instigate 
arson on US cities.

Arson in US cities?  Not to worry, we’ve got Kash Patel at the FBI.  
Tulsi Gabbard at US Intel and 
Hegseth at DOD.  What could 
possibly go wrong?

US invading Greenland? No. 
Panama Canal?  The latter 
Chinese corporate controlled?  No.  Los Angeles? Yes.
