I was given the opportunity to view and review the movie Gloria Bell, directed by Sebastian Lelio. I was not paid for this review, but was given an advance copy of the film. The opinions in this review are mine and mine alone. This sweet, uncomfortable, quirky, awkward coming of age movie is apparently a remake by the same director. I was not aware of
This Is Us is one of the few shows I only watch because I can't stand it anymore. I'm effectively rage watching This Is Us, and have been since about the second episode of the second season. If I wasn't rage watching This Is Us, I would have after last night's episode. *****SPOILER ALERT**** DON'T READ ANY FARTHER UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN THE EPISODE OR DON'T
I started writing this post 4 hours ago and then got an email from a client, and phone call from a client and then realized I hadn't created a newsletter for a client and remembered I had to schedule an appointment for my daughter and reschedule several other things that need to be changed due to a new appointment.... And now I have to pick
I usually go out and visit my mother on Thursdays. I do this because by the time Thursday rolls around I have some free time and am not rushed while visiting. I've also worked through most of the challenges of my week and am in a better place mentally to spend time with her. Visiting my mother has been a crapshoot for years. She's been
OMG I got to see Donny and Marie at the Flamingo in Las Vegas!!! This was one of those bucket list items that I never thought would happen. And truth be told, I hadn't considered seeing Donny & Marie (but mostly Donny), since I was probably 12 - which makes it even that much better!! I've been attending the International Builder's Show this past week.
It's cold here. So cold! I don't mind the cold that much, I mean reasonable cold. This cold is epic. When I woke up this morning it was -27°F. Currently, it's -18°F and falling. I've experienced these kinds of temps before. I grew up in the 1970s when sub zero temps and record snow falls were pretty commonplace. This current Polar Vortex is breaking all
Last year Minnesota hosted the Super Bowl. Minnesota did not make it to the Super Bowl, which is no surprise. The Vikings did not make it this year either. That also is not a surprise. Odds are, your team did not make it to the Super Bowl, but you're probably still going to a Super Bowl party and you're going to need to bring something.
I don't know if the impending snowstorm and Polar Vortex that is expected this week, the lack of sunlight or what, but I've been stuck in the overwhelm for a while now. I know I am not the only one who feels this way. I know most people are experiencing some level of this, I can see it on social media and on the faces
It's been a while since I did a Year In Review post. Hell, it's been a while since I did a post. It's been even longer that my posts lived up to the title of my blog. Not sure this will reach that lofty goal, but it'd be nice to get back to the basics of this blog instead of being all movie reviews -
Yes, I am still here! It's been two months since I wrote anything, I think that's the longest I've gone without writing on this blog. Of course I've been writing a ton for my other work, which coincidentally is sort of why we're here today, I was recently terminated from it. Unceremoniously, and without cause, and without compensation for some time. It's ok, I hated
