All Things End

The past couple of weeks have been interesting as several pop-culture phenomenon have concluded all at the same time. We have seen the end of stories about a fantasy world, political satire, superheroes, and some nerds who eat together, that have captured the collective hearts and imaginations of millions of people around the world in… […]

Weird words we use everyday

To tell you the truth I think all words are weird. Language in general is a very peculiar thing. It is just grunts and sounds arranged in a particular pattern or sequence that we have all collectively agreed has some sort of meaning. English in particular is complex and hard to learn as in it’s… […]

MET Gala 2019

I know this is a little late but I had to do a post about this year’s MET Gala. Every year the beautiful and the rich get together in an extravagant display of excess and wealth for…some reason. They choose a theme, people prepare, they make a scene, and stop for lots and lots of […]

Some Stuff

As you know, I stopped posting for over a year and started again just recently. But during that time it wasn’t that I was not writing, I just didn’t complete anything that I wrote. Currently I have 18 draft posts just sitting there waiting to be re-examined and maybe posted. Well this is one of […]

Bad Trek

The last post I wrote for this blog before I went on a ridiculously long break was about Star Trek Discovery. The show had just started, airing the first 2 episodes which created and destroyed the world I thought this story was to take place in. I had enjoyed the episodes but because I hadn’t… […]

Product placement

I still have friends that complain about product placement in movies. It used to be something that got to me as well but many years ago I kinda just got over it. Why? Because it properly reflects a realistic version of the world we live in. Look down at your clothes, look at your desk, […]

Until

Music is a strange thing. It is a series of strung together sounds that are pleasing to the listener. Unless of course you are an old crotchety man waving his stick at the damned youth of today. But music has a way of instilling emotions, making you move fast, or slowing you down for just… […]

Get untethered

I don’t like horror movies. As a young child I was afflicted with night terrors and that combined with an over active imagination did not bode well for an evening’s slumber. As I grew older the terrors waned but my dislike for horror persisted. But every once in a while a horror movie catches my… […]

If you liked the Manga…

Every once in a while I have the audacity to let someone else pick the movie I am going to watch. That is just crazy! But the other day my friend begged me to go see Alita: Battle Angel. Despite my reservations and due to him offering to pay, I said yes. This was a movie I… […]

Stop Living in the Past

Nostalgianoun a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal association something done or presented in order to evoke feelings of nostalgia I get why nostalgia sells. For the most part it just makes people feel good. It is a familiarity taking you back to a […]

Good Bargain

At Chapters and Indigo stores there is something called the “Bazaar.” It is their bargain section, the sale rack of the book store. It is filled with random stuff, over stock, memoirs, damaged items, and books that are simply unreadable. But every once in a while you get lucky and find something great in there… […]

Trailers Lie

I judge what movies I see by the trailer. It is somewhat like judging a book by its cover. A good one stands out of the hundreds on a shelf piquing your interest and making you at least check what the book is about. A bad one you don’t bother with. It could be right… […]

Look at me i’m an administrator

Good day everyone, I am a learned individual and today I learned how to post ALL BY MYSELF!! More to come so stay tuned.   Cory… …more

Health Care

Living in Canada, I have had access to free health care for most of my life. I may not use it often—I’m not particularly fond of doctors—but it is always comforting to know it’s there when I do need it. This is why the whole health care issue in the States seems so… …more

We goin’ Back in ti-ime

This weekend I headed out to the theatre to see Hot Tub Time Machine. The title is pretty straight forward. Adam (John Cusack) just had a messy break up with his live… …more

It can save your marriage

So I was going to write a post about the current Ikea commercial campaign. You know the ones where the people are happy in their, so called, domestic bliss and the narrator (is it David Hyde Pierce? If its not, the guy sure sounds like him) talks about how their life would be ruined if… […]

3 Movies

Ok I’m back. I actually didn’t go anywhere but I just haven’t posted anything in over a week. I was just about doing what I do and time just sort of slipped away from me. Before I knew it, it was Friday again and I didn’t know what to say. I actually sat down to… […]

Not Right

Yesterday was an odd kind of day. It went in order, the sun rose and set, but there were just things thrown in there that through it off a bit. First I woke up under my own volition, in the morning. I am not a morning person, well I am not a whenever-I-wakeup person… …more

Fancy Show

Yesterday I accomplished nothing. I started doing about 5 things (including writing a post) and for some reason, a distraction or change of mind or whatever, I didn’t finish anything. I was so frustrated with my day. I know I don’t have much to do and it is annoying when I finally get something to… […]

ROCK!

I have been home for a few months now and the novelty of not working wore off a long time ago. Yes it is nice to not have to get up every morning, rush around, fight traffic, and follow orders but damn is it boring. It also sucks being broke. I have all this time… […]
