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… […]

Alita Battle Angel Movie Poster

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 […]

No Halos

Friday was the last episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien after a few weeks of controversy. It was the end of a way too short era that really should not have happened. By the time Friday came though I was kind of glad it was ending. The media hoopla and the battle of… […]

Stuff Online

Very creative title. Today I bring to you another post of interesting sites. This is because I spent most of yesterday staring at a blank screen trying to come up with something to write about. For the life of me the ability to put something into words was just not happening. I sat for about… […]

Something’s Missing

Science Fiction is a great genre for filmmakers to explore. They can let their imagination run wild because there is no way someone can tell them they are wrong. They can create technologies, languages, and whole civilizations. Even if they do anchor their story with things that do already exist they can use them in… […]

NBC (Ninnies Boobs and Chumps)

Over the last few days there has been a big hoopla about late night television. NBC is changing the line-up because The Jay Leno Show did not do as anticipated. NBC made promises to Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, and Jimmy Fallon based on their own hype and it has now blown up in their face… […]

He Can Act

You know what I hate? When I go to a theatre and I have to make a choice. Its not that I don’t like having options it’s just then I always think I am missing something great no matter what I choose. I could have enjoyed whatever I picked but there is always a little… […]

I need new music.

Even though I have a very expansive music collection I need something new to listen to. I am not sure what I am looking for though and that makes finding something new hard. I just want something fun, mellow-ish, and generally entertaining. Something I could sing along with and puts me in a good mood… […]

At least the movie was good

Well it is 2010. It is a New Year and new decade but not much of a new me. The year didn’t start well and I think that will sadly continue for the rest of the year, for me at least. I started off the New Year in a dress. To those that know… …more

The real mystery

Since Monday I have been trying to write a post about Sherlock Holmes. I sat down to write the review but I went off on a tangent about everything I have watched on tv and… …more

Woman arrested for drowning friend in Lemonade!

Although this isn’t actually a real news title it could have been, in this mornings paper. It all started Sunday. I woke up and was asked to send our good friend Tra a text message.“Send your recipe for your “Trini” fudge or come over and help us make some.” Now what you gotta… …more

Early Present

I can’t believe it is December 21 already. I haven’t done any seasonal posts because it is the time of year when everyone keeps reminding you what time of year it is. That can just be so annoying and so irritating that I chose to skip it all together (so far). I know I haphazardly… […]
