  • Shoplifting on a grand scale.

    This is a new thought in a territory I don’t know much about, so I’m going to try to piece it together. Bear with me. Shoplifting has increased. We know this. It’s driven by accidental negligence. A mom may be distracted by a child, and something doesn’t scan. Inflation and the job market mean tight… Read more

  • In Bruce Banner’s lecture hall, a student asked: “Why didn’t Thanos just make unlimited food?” — Or something like that. My memory isn’t perfect. But it did take me off guard. Why did Thanos see that his only option was to poof half of universal life? It tickled the really teeny tiny itty bitty part… Read more

  • Review: Brand New Day

    I actually saw a movie. It was in a theater. A good theater, and the seats rumbled. The movie was actually, surprisingly, pretty good. It’s like winning the lottery. Little sister wanted to see the new Spider-Man movie, and I was along for the ride. There’s already a multitude of reviews and spoilers available. It’s… Read more

  • A couple of days ago, PlayStation announced that it’s killing physical gaming. No more printed discs. PlayStation 6 won’t have a disc drive, and, for backward compatibility, one could probably be purchased at an insane price. But if a person has a PS5, there wouldn’t be a need. The companies that make the discs and… Read more

  • Because I’m in the land of make-believe right now… or at least for the moment… I feel myself drawn to actually writing a review. I used to write reviews for games, books, and movies all the time. Back with the Eclipse was a thing. So, I’ll give this a shot. The boyfriend’s current game is… Read more

  • 10/9 – Coke owes us.

    I learned a little tidbit of information yesterday. Do you know those Coke Freestyle machines?The ones that allow you to add whatever base and syrup you want to your paper cup? There’s the freedom to come up with flavor combinations that can’t be found on the open market. So, you could have Dr. Pepper Orange… Read more

  • 9/17

    This feels like a long week. There’s been Charlie Kirk’s ongoing saga. I keep seeing the same themes that played out over George Floyd. Anyone who spoke against the narrative were deemed a social outcast – or worse. He became a symbol that sold t-shirts, cheap China crap, and became symbolic of a national ideological… Read more

  • 5/21

    Well, John from CenterS gave me an assignment. Since he actually read some of my blog posts and took notes (!!), I thought I’d work on this. My assignment was to come up with ten songs that influenced or are important to me. In thinking, I’ve come up with a lot of honorable mentions but… Read more

  • Jason actually wanted to see a movie. Normally, I want to go and he doesn’t. So, we don’t. But he wanted to see this one and I was curious and we did. I’m glad we did. There are bloggers and reviews that will point out how controversial, good, had, or honest it is. I’m not… Read more

  • 10/20 – Biden examination

    Is the election over yet? If I hold my breath and cross my eyes, will all of this political nonsense be over? I mean, come on. Everything that’s going on just shows America’s slimy underbelly. It’s just pathetic. Not just the politics, but the attitude of Americans. Trump is infected with Covid. Thousands wish him… Read more
