Zardoz Experience
•
(Note: This post contains affiliate links to items that you can purchase from Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Thank you.) Trying to explain Zardoz after watching it was like an endless cycle of this guy. That said, I REALLY, legitimately enjoyed it! I always thought…

The Spirit of Powell
•
I’ve got something to admit that I’m a little embarrassed about. I had never seen Die Hard before a year or so ago, and without having seen it, I was ready to die hard on the hill that it was absolutely not a Christmas movie! Then I watched it, and…

Madeleines
•
Yesterday we got our tree all set up with lights on it (no ornaments yet). When I came downstairs later and saw it out of the corner of my eye all lit up, I instantly got the strongest whiff of pine (which I have recently discovered I’m allergic to, sadly).…

Old People
•
Boyfriend and I were watching Jurassic Park: The Lost World. “I’m counting the things in this movie that no longer exist,” he said. “Pontiac, Blockbuster….” “Dinosaurs,” I said. He chuckled. “Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs definitely aren’t around anymore.” As the tyrannosaur rampaged through downtown San Diego, I suddenly gasped and flung my…

ChatGPT Portraits
•
I saw this meme this morning saying to ask ChatGPT to create a portrait of what it thinks you look like based on the conversations you’ve had so far. I have two accounts, so I got one from each. Please share yours in the comments so we can all have…

Walk Treat Sit No Dinner Leash
•
We were chatting earlier about how many words we think our dog knows, so while she and the boyfriend were out on a W-A-L-K, I started making a list of all the ones I could think of. When they returned, I told him about the list and said, “I was…

Starbucks Lovers
•
TIL that Taylor’s got “a long list of ex-lovers” and not “a lot of Starbucks lovers”. I was just never curious enough until right now to Google what a “Starbucks lover” was. IDK…I guess I thought she was meeting a lot of one-night stands in the Starbucks line…? Or that…

Truck Movie
•
***Saturday night*** Boyfriend: “What do you feel like watching?” Me: “Something Stephen King, I think.” ***Sunday morning*** Boyfriend, halfway through a movie: “I’m watching a Stephen King movie!” Me, indignant: “WHAT!? Why would you watch that without me!?” Boyfriend: “You wouldn’t like it.” Me: “Why wouldn’t I like it?” Boyfriend:…

Never Say One Moore to Go
•
Never Say Never Again, while entertaining, was suuuch a confusing–but cleverly titled–addition to the Bond films. Though I believe I enjoyed it more than Thunderball, which I fell asleep through and barely remember watching. To be fair to Thunderball, I seem to be interchanging bits of all the Bond films…

Dream Spelling
•
I have no idea why I’m still awake. Last night I dreamt I found the largest-ever skeleton of a coelacanth and won a Guinness record for it. It seems worth noting that while my subconscious did not remember what exactly a coelacanth was (it pictured something more stingray-shaped), it still…
