Hangman is comin’ down from the gallows, and I don’t have very long

Posted on by Shawshank

Well it was an eventful evening. We were watching FBI, and snuggled together when the strangeness started. The power flickered 5 or 6 times, then it was out for good. We got shoes on and went outside. It was completely dark and silent. A few minutes later, we could hear people’s generators start to kick on.

So we hung out on the couch for another 45 minutes or so watching TikTok, then retired to the bedroom for the evening. Sometime in the night, the power came back on. The fan in the bedroom kicked on, and the tv turned back on. Around 6, I think I got up and shut the alarm off in the phone and turned off the TV.

Shortly after that, the alarm on my phone went off. Which is weird, because (and I checked) I had shut the alarm off.

But here we are. The coffee has been brewed, and the news is on. It’s Wednesday, and we didn’t freeze in the night. I had an ok sleep. Up early, but Crystal was up much earlier.

I just want this day to go quickly. One step closer to the weekend my friends.

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation (smooth liquidation)

Welcome to Tuesday! Here, have a cup of coffee. We went to bed a little early last night. That was totally fine by me. I wasn’t feeling too well yesterday. From about 1 or so yesterday afternoon, I could’ve napped. I didn’t. By I could’ve.

So we went to bed early. I was just starting to do the eye droop, and Crystal was already seeing if her eyelids had any holes in them. We decided that it was time for bed.

And then I was out. I’m sure after Crystal put on her sleep rig, she was out as well. I think I woke up just enough to see what the time was this morning. It was 6:45. So I closed my eyes again, and slept until the alarm went off. It was a good sleep.

But here we are. Tuesday morning. I’m ready for another work week. It’s my short week, meaning that I don’t have to work on Saturday. Nice.

Happy Tuesday. Have a great day everyone!

Another day, another Monday. One more day off, and it’s back to the grind. I should only be working with BossLady alone for Tuesday, then NewNewGirl will be with us for Wednesday, and then BossLady is globetrotting for a couple of weeks.

In the time that she’s gone, we only have 2 locations left to count for inventory – outside storage. So the sea can, and the warehouse. It should be relatively warmish out so we’ll count those probably next week.

Yesterday was a nice day ball the chores got done, and we played a beat-em-up game for an hour or so. It’s a lot like rampage. We had fun destroying buildings and eating humans. Then it was off to Shady Acres for dinner. It was a nice afternoon.

And Crystal will be playing a game if chance this afternoon – Godtear. That’ll be fun. It’s a quick game. Not too much for setup, unlike Gloomhaven, which I’d like to play again, but it takes so long to set up. Once setup, then you play for like 2 hours. Then you have to clean up. That’s a lot of work haha.

So let’s start the day, have a coffee. Happy Monday!

Movie review: RRR

Posted on by Shawshank

So last night, I took the chance on turning on a movie, that we only watched the trailer to on Netflix. It was fantastical – a man running from a tiger for around a minute. I was kind of hooked. So yesterday, just for the fun of it, half expecting to shut it off minutes in, we sat down to watch RRR.

What a good movie. Don’t let the three hour run time daunt you. It’s a cinematic masterpiece. But don’t call it a Bollywood film. According to the director, it’s a Telugu film.

To me, it’s an action/adventure movie. It’s a buddy film. If it was an American film, it would probably be a buddy-cop film. But thankfully it’s not an American movie. I don’t think an American film studio could make an epic movie like this, and I hope that they never try.

From the slowmo action shots to the 47 minute dance off, it’s exactly what we needed to see last night. This was our first Indian movie that we’ve watched (except the snippets of Indian movies playing at India Restaurant).

So give this movie a chance. Open up your Netflix, and turn it on. You won’t be disappointed.

My only thought is our first Indian movie has set the bar very high. We’re worried that all the other movies will fail to hold a candle to watch we just watched.

Do you guys have any suggestions for other movies to check out?

We had the best time at your party, the wife and I thank you very much

Good morning everyone. Hap hap happy Sunday! I was up very quickly around 5:30, but fell asleep again, until the alarm went off at 7. I feel like I got to sleep in.

So we’re up now, I have a kitten on my lap, and Chaucer is on his cube and is dozing. It rained a little last night, and there’s a thin film of ice over everything. The little deck is totally slippery, so we’ll have to be careful, if it doesn’t melt.

Today is chore day, I should be starting that soon. And I will, I just want some coffee first. But I’ll get in the chores shortly. I have to prep for toaster this afternoon as well.

Happy Sunday everyone! Kick back and relax today!
