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 […]

Two become One

No I am not talking about the Spice Girls song. Great! Now I have the Spice Girls song in my head. Afternoon ruined! Or made awesome…? ‘Cause tonight is the night when 2 becomes 1 i need some love like I never needed love before (Wanna make love to ya baby) I… …more

I’m on a bus

Last week I was on a bus. A school bus. Now this would not be something of note if I… …more

Plaid-ish

I didn’t do my fingernails this week. I did a bit of running around and having time to watch my hands dry was not in the cards. But I did do my toes. I spent a little more time than usual doing them and they came out looking pretty good. …more

Crazy Week

So, this past week was a bit insane. There was a lot of bad and a lot of good happening and all of it together made it really hard to get anything done. This means both at work and at home. We’ll start on Sunday as this is kinda important to include. I saw… …more

Pink?

This week I did my nails a little girlier that usual. My colour choice pink with flowers. Say what? I have to admit in the bottle the colour looked more orangy than pink and was super vibrant and had this kind of gel look. It is still vibrant and gel like but the orange doesn’t really… […]

I have fallen behind

Waaaaaaaaaaay, behind. I have been watching more movies than usual lately, all because of Netflix. I joined the service to get the free one month trial because Arrested Development Season 4 was released. I couldn’t wait for it to show up somewhere else, I had waited too long already. Because I have had the… …more

Collide-O-Scope

I know I haven’t done this in a few weeks but truth be told I just haven’t had the time. My nails were completely bare for 3 weeks! I know it is inconceivable but very true. But I finally did them. …more

How could you forget?

At work I have an intern sitting beside me. He is a really nice young man but seems to lack a great deal of pop culture knowledge. I know he is only 21, which does make him part of the generation after my own, but it is shocking what he does not know. I often… […]

All that glitters

I have a been busy/had writer’s block/I just wasn’t feeling like writing the last little while so I have stocked up on reviews. There are movies and books that I have to tell you about. And also on Thursday I am going to be at the “All Dahl’d Up” art show so maybe if you… […]

I may have to live with this

A couple of years ago a friend if mine called me a hipster. It was very traumatic but I chalked it up to the fact that we were at an art show in hipster central and she was pregnant. Everyone knows that being knocked up makes you crazy. I mean a couple of her… …more
