2014 Movie #14 – Banking on Bitcoin
I was in the mood for a random documentary the other night, and Netflix came to the rescue. This doc was suuuuuper interesting, diving into the early days of digital currencies, and explaining how they all really came to be. THE BLURB: Bitcoin, the decentralized...
Day 1,583: Wrinkley
Went to go see A Wrinkle in Time tonight, and guys...holy shit. There are SO MANY parallels between Starstuff and that story. Wow. They're definitely very different stories and worlds, for sure, but the PARALLELS. And I swear to baby jesus I have never read that book....
2018 Movie #13: A Wrinkle In Time
The beloved book gets the feature treatment from Ava DuVernay, which is notable for me personally because it's the second movie of hers that I've seen thus far in 2018. Reason for optimism, right? Sure. Except that this movie misses the mark in virtually every way....
Day 1,582: Warriors Lose
Well, the winning streak is over. The Dubs lost tonight. They could not overcome the plethora of injuries, and the reserves just couldn't get it done. The trio of KD, Klay and Dray are just not strong enough. At least not against the Blazers...who are a good team, but...
2018 Movie #12: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Well, folks, they did it: they made another Pirates movie 😛 It's exactly what you'd expect from a fifth movie in a franchise that hasn't seen a new movie in SEVEN YEARS. But, still...it was about *pirates*, and who doesn't love pirates?! THE BLURB: Thrust into an...
Day 1,581: Warriors Win
So, the Warriors lost Steph Curry tonight like three minutes into their game with the Spurs...and they baaaarely managed to pull out a win. Praise be. It was a bit ugly, to be honest, though not in the usual way a Warriors game is "ugly," ie- turnovers, turnovers,...
Day 1,580: The Flow
One of my big writing "breakthroughs" six weeks ago or so was remembering "the flow." The best way I can describe my writing, when it's good is that it's like stepping into a river and just floating. It already has its own current and direction, and I can paddle if I...
Day 1,579: Dry Hands
Crikey, you guys, my hands are DRY. They're like a desert. With one "s." Not the sweet stuff. Here's the thing about me and my hands: I hate, hate, HATE the feeling of moisturizer. I always have. I don't like the way it feels in between my fingers. But, I've found a...
Day 1,578: Short and Sweet
Keeping tonight's entry short and sweet so I can get my ass to sleep...but today was a writing fail. Sigh. It's my first day back, and I had my morning messed up because of building stuff, which is TOTALLY an excuse...but here we are. I failed today. I'm not going to...
Day 1,577: Oscarzzzzzz
The z's in the title for tonight's post are for funk, not for boredom. No, the Oscars tonight actually seemed to have quite a bit to say, actually, even if I personally felt the field was rather thin movie-wise. The Shape of Water has been deemed the best movie of the...
