The Globes are early this year, airing January 11, 2026, which complicates things. I don’t have time for more viewing, so my review list is short. And honestly, after reading what I wrote, it’s a little crabby-sounding too. #handshrugemoji. But I’m going to leave it cause I gotta keep things real. #youvebeenwarned The other reason for my short list is that, once again, many of … Continue reading 2026 Golden Globe Movie Reviews

I woke up this morning in a fine mood. We had perfect avocados in the house,(silly thought, I know) and I was looking forward to my refreshing morning coffee followed by some delicious eggs and avocados, followed by an aerobic walk outside on what promised to be a 70-degree, blue-sky start. Then, two things happened. After feeding the dog, I let her outside as per … Continue reading All Creative Endeavors Stopped Until Further Notice. Or … A Shitty Way to Start the Day.
I’ve had Covid for about five weeks. I’m no longer contagious since I’m testing negative, but many of the symptoms persist. With little energy, I’ve neglected much of my life – specifically my writing, but have found comfort in television. So, with my brain fuzzy like I’m drunk – but not in a fun way – I’ll try and elucidate you on my viewing life. … Continue reading Things I’m Watching From my Sickbed
Where Attempted Humanizing and Dehumanization Intersect. . . or Irony in a Bottle Here’s a blog that will never make the Walgreens Boots Alliance Webpage under their glowing stories of commitment where they state they are “determined to do right by our customers, patients, and each other.” My local Walgreens now has a sign in the window of the drive-through with pictures of two smiling … Continue reading Walgreens Has Serious Problems
This is either a loaded question or a risky proposition, but I need a vote on this one. A Karen rating scale. Here’s the story. I made an appointment with my Nissan dealer to have my oil changed, tires rotated, and to get new windshield wipers. It was pretty much a regular maintenance thing for my 60,000 mile SUV. Past experience was that the visit … Continue reading Rate my Level of Karen
I live in Minnesota. It is cold during the winter. Really cold. And tires on a car, in case you didn’t know, like to deflate a bit when they are cold. Apparently, it’s important to have the air pressure in your tires correct. Not only that, but the annoying tire pressure warning light will not go off until you fix your problem. Two science-y bits … Continue reading You’re Charging for Air?
Read without fear. I’ll give you warning before I launch spoilers. And FYI, it’s not a complete list – just those movies I got to. BARBIE ⭐⭐⭐ My adult daughter and her friends loved this movie and I’d seen enough of the clips to understand that it was going to be clever and amusing. And it was. The opening was hilarious. The first time we … Continue reading 2024 Golden Globe Nominee Reviews
Thank you, San Francisco Writers’ Grotto for the writing prompt and to my friend, Jane, for the inspiration. Write a story in which each sentence will begin with a different letter of the alphabet, beginning with the letter A, and moving sequentially, i.e., B, C, D, and so forth. A single Cheeto lay on the stoop in front of my front door. Baffling and profoundly … Continue reading Middle of the Night Writing Exercise.
Is anyone else skeeved out by the Lume girl? Her weirdly sweaty face with her cocked head leaning into the camera smiling like someone jacked up on Mountain Dew talking about a deodorant for special girl places creeps the shit out of me. I assumed the expensive product I didn’t know we needed was for all those yoga enthusiasts, but it’s not an antiperspirant. And … Continue reading Commercials and Songs Making Me Crazy (and a few good ones, too)
