Dreary day? Add a dreary movie.

Here are a few movies to help you isolate yourself into the world of dreary by offering more dreariness. Girl With All The Gifts This movie has a twist on the played-out zombie genre that works. The beginning is pretty good, as well as the middle, but the end is sad and depressing. There are...

I’m Standing Up For Myself!

Julie slammed the door and ran to her desk, and grabbed the phone. Hello?! Dan! I did it! I finally stood up for myself and stopped worrying about being polite! And guess what, genius? It got me working on the Nelson file. Yea. “The cursed” Nelson file... Yea… T.J. didn’t like my new attitude, and...

The Turkeys man! The Turkeys….

I worked as a cashier at 7/11 and I would get some interesting customers. I had one guy that would come in. He was a genius, gifted, or burnt out on drugs, I couldn’t tell. This guy was pretty far out there with his thoughts. One day he walks into the store and walks directly...

They shop alone

My aunt and uncle don’t shop together. They go to the store together, but once there, they go their separate ways. They each grab a cart and one goes one way, and the other goes the other way. I’m not sure if they cook separate meals or not. It’s kinda a weird question to ask...

Thanksgiving chit-chat

They may feel depleted, no longer able to sustain the mental energy needed to protract what they perceive now as empty and useless words. The person may feel they can no longer aimlessly bumble around in the benign...

Atmospheric Sci-Fi Movies

I am a big Sci-Fi movie fan, and I have seen a lot of them. These are a couple of movies that I have watched over and over again. It’s because they are very atmospheric, and I am a fan of the director Ridley Scott. Watched about 9 times, and my favorite atmospheric scene. 👇...

Chipped Beef Quick Take

There is a dish called “chipped beef on toast”: dried beef in white gravy ladled on toast. The first reference to the dish is found in the “Manual for Army Cooks” in 1910. The recipe is easy and cost effective requiring only 4 basic ingredients: milk, butter, flour, and dried beef-easy and cheap-I can see...

Hey Duuude!

I’m not sure how many people watched this show, it was called Hey Dude and It aired on the Nickelodeon network. Most kids watched “Nick” back then, many adults watched it too, but in the evenings when kids Nick would change over to Nick at Night, programming geared more for adults. Hey Dude, was popular in our...

Ode to toast.

Toast is important, because it is an American breakfast staple that never lets anyone down. Toast is inexpensive and easy to make, and also good any time of the day. I like my toast served hot with melted butter and a couple of peppered sunny-side-up eggs for dipping. The toast and tea combo has been...
