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… […]

Us movie poster. Hands holding scissors

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 […]

MaGic Monday

I’ve been thinking about this perpetual “hate on” everyone seems to have for Monday and I’m left wondering why? I know, I know – its the beginning of the work week but so what? Without a beginning how can there be an end? No Mondays would ultimately mean no fridays, no? I happen to like… […]

Addendum – Twins!!

This is what I was talking about !! Heifer thinks she is better than Snuffleupaugus ??!!!! …more

Twins!!

Dont even lie – they are totally the same!!! A recent trip to the Toronto Zoo reminded me that I had a horrible problem with thinking that all the creatures on Sesame Street were very real. This wouldnt be a problem, if I hadnt kept believeing that Snuffleupaugus and Barkley (the dog) on the show were… […]

Run Nelly Run!!

So this is what it comes down to – I ran a marathon years ago. You could even qualify it as eons. I hadnt left the “-een” phase in terms of age. I was super focussed and I worked at it hard every single day. Somehow, I managed to preserve the running part, in that… […]

So You Think You Can be Mediocre?

OMG Did you see it? Same line, totally different feel. So Cory, happened to mention that robotron Katie Holmes was performing on SYTYCD last night for the show’s 100th episode. I am not so sure about the rest of the episode but I tuned in maybe 20 seconds into her performance and horror of… …more

So You Think You Can be Memorable?

OMG – Did you see it? Some people just don’t care and some people are a little too into it while others – like myself find it entertaining enough to watch it but aren’t heart broken if we miss it. Even though I found myself glad I got to watch it last night. So… …more

Laputa – Castle in the Sky

So a lover of mine recently suggested that I should really look into watching the work of Hayao Miyazaki. If you havent heard of him, you should have because he just might be the voice of this generation and the ones to come. To say that his work is magical is selling him short, upon… […]

We have Contact

Tra has arrived in T&T and is alive and well. To which, we say “b*tch you couldn’t get us over there too?” She is apparently swimming in the night and stuffing her face to the gills. Le sigh! some people have all the luck. In the meantime, me and cory ruminated over everyday things like… […]

I got a few minutes

So I am writing this while I am on vacation. Why? Because I didn’t get the last 2 posts I wanted to before I left. I was just busy getting ready for my trip both at home and at work. At home I had to shop, clean, and pack. You would think that wouldn’t… …more

I know! I didnt get it, right?

So my little lambs, tra is away .. in Trinidad and G*ddamn Tobago! While we all sully about in the mild wintry summer we are having. Clearly, I have some resentment issues. So, there will be posts but probably later on in the day and me and cory will try and keep it up as… […]
