Lift up the receiver, I’ll make you a believer

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Today is the first day in about a month or maybe more, that I actually slept through the night. All night.

Today, we were supposed to go in to SlightlyBiggerTown to pick up wood pellets for the stove by my dad came home last night saying change of plan were going to go Sunday. Great. The original plan was we were supposed to go Friday. If we followed that plan, the pellets would’ve already been here…

So I slept through the night and didn’t fall asleep at a crazy hour, and I read some more of Ship of Theseus. I made it to the interlude and decided to go to sleep. I’m really enjoying it, even though I’m still confused. I think I’ll keep it. Haha

But I do have another “what did Shawshank watch on VHS this time?” It’s a classic, and very well known, and quotable, so I’m going to make this a little more difficult for y’all. Only 2 pictures. Even though I took 5 and uploaded 4. You guys only get two. Good luck, may the odds ever be in your favour!

Do you know? Have a guess? Put em in the comments!

Take life from tomorrow, cause I’ve burned out today

Good morning! Here’s a coffee cup salute to everyone! We made it to Friday! I knew we would!now y’all just have to make it through the shift with out beating anyone to death with a spatula. It’s gonna be hard, but I know that you can do it. You gotta have faith, playa!

I had a pretty good sleep. One dream in particular, waking me up, because I was annoyed. Lol. Crystal and I went out to eat. It was a place we’ve been to before, but everything changed about the place. It turned in to a shitshow. We ordered, they gave us extra fried fish which we didn’t order. Then they lost our order. Then we got up to dance I think, and they gave away our table. Dream me lost it. Then we were at a wedding and we were all supposed to get money, but it was only the rich people that got the money while the normal people like us got nothing.

Ok let’s play another round of “what did Shawshank watch on VHS this time?” This one should be easy, if you have any taste in cinematic genius.

Now, if you can’t figure it out with those two pictures I don’t know if we should continue being friends. But I’d understand if you didn’t, but I’d also say you need to watch this movie. It’s a great popcorn flick, full of mindless fun, and cheese! But if you need one more hint, I’ve got you fam. Here’s the last pictures, and it’s a doozy!

Happy Friday!

Google maps is the best (true dat) Double true!

It’s been a lazy day here at Shady Acres. Well, it really hasn’t. But it feels like it. I haven’t cleaned or organized anything today, haha. But I have done things! Really I have!

  • I applied for my health card.
  • I donated books to the library.
  • I dropped stuff off at the second hand store. (forgetting things at home)
  • I made a second trip to the second hand store.
  • I have a bit of a plan to move the bookcase of DVDs downstairs.
  • I’ve watched too many hours of ‘Roadkill’ on Discovery Velocity.

So now I’ve been mentally planning on where I’m going to move the DVDs to down there. The wall I want to use needs to be cleaned up a little. I’ll do that sometime next week.

Saturday, we’ll be heading into AnotherSlightlyBiggerTown to get wood pellets for my parents pellet stove. I think they’re getting 3 pallets. I don’t know how many are on the pallet, but I’ll be moving most of them, because my dad is farming and is really busy with harvest right meow. It’ll be arm and leg day as I take the bags downstairs, one 50lb bag at a time! Woot! I’ll be useful!

Awake! It’s almost Pre-Friday. Almost. You can make it. One of the talking heads on the local news is talking about the NFL and opening day. This guy is a moron. He’s talking about how good the Cowboys are gonna be.

The. Cowboys.

I’ll let that sink in.

America’s Team.

I’ll still root for the Patriots. I’ve rooted for them for 20 years. Most of that time, they’ve had rebuilding years. This year will be the biggest one they’ll have. No Tom Brady. It’s gonna be different for sure.

Ok let’s stop talking about SportsBall.

I have an announcement;

I’m wearing jogging pants. And plan to go out in public wearing them later. Public. I don’t think I’ll ever take them off. Ever.

Ever.

Yesterday, we drove to SlightlyBiggerTown to do some grocery shopping. I ran over to the local second hand store. Hoping, and dreaming (literally, I had a dream about this), that is find the Twilight Saga. Spoiler alert – I didn’t, but I did find The Hunger Games, and Pet Cemetery.

I started to read it last night. It’s like totally NOT scary at all. I mean the first 5 or 6 chapters are normal. The dude is drinking beer with his neighbour across the road. I keep you updated.

Let’s go out to lobby and have ourselves a treat

Okay, I do feel pretty accomplished on cleaning the basement. I felt even more accomplished by hooking up a 30ish year old VCR, and having it play a VHS tape. It only ate it in one part and I wound it back up. But I wanted to get a DVD player to work down there and use the switch so it would be easier than plugging and unplugging etc.

I got the DVD player hooked up, but I think the RCA cable was bad. It’s probably at least 10 years old. So I said “screw it”, and hooked up the PS2. Two birds, one stone.

So now it’s time to play a fun game of:

WHAT MOVIE IS PLAYING!

Here’s the pictures, when you know, or think you know what it is, put it in the comments.
