And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Posted on by Shawshank

Guten Morgen everyone. What day is it? That’s right, it’s hump day. As we inch closer to the fabled weekend, I’m awake and dressed. I think I had a good sleep. I got into bed and then the alarm went off. I don’t even remember getting up in the night.

I got another package from Crystal yesterday! A box full of paints, and our Warhammer figures. I carefully unpacked the box, and got the figures set up. Only a couple were broken. I’ll be able to hopefully fix them.

I’ll tackle that perhaps on Saturday.

But right now, I need some go-go juice. Catch you on the flip side!

Just as long I’m here in your arms I could be in no better place

Good morning! It’s Tuesday morning and you know what that means, right!

The coffee is brewing!

That’s right, I’m awake. It was a deep sleep that was interrupted when the alarm went off. I think I slept on my right arm most of the night, because my arm really hurts. Like I got a shot or something.

After I got off the toilet this morning, I bumped the shelf above the toilet, and knocked some nail clippers into the toilet. It happened in slow motion. The toilet flushing as nail clippers fell into it. It flushed normally.

Good times.

Ok, the coffee is ready, so I’m outie9000. Have a great Tuesday everyone.

In your heart I see the start of every night and every day

I awoke with a start at 6:27 am, when I heard a door slam. Then I just told myself it was my neighbour heading to work. that calmed me down enough to fall asleep again.

I awoke with a start when my alarm woke me up at 7:01. It felt like my alarm had been going off for a half hour, until I rolled over and saw what time it actually was.

Good morning everyone. Happy Monday to us all. The coffee is brewing, and looking outside, it’s a gray day. According to the old people in town, we need the rain for the fields. I understand that, I really do. I can’t just say, for my mental health, I prefer it to be sunny.

They just wouldn’t understand.

Anyways, I had a really good sleep. The temperature was perfect last night to snuggle into bed, and be perfectly warm.

Today is a great day, to have a great day! Let’s grab life by the nutsack, and make it ours! Woohoo, funday Monday!

Home Video – Schitt’s Creek

Posted on by Shawshank

Who has two thumbs and just ugly cried through the last episode of the last season of Schitt’s Creek?

Me.

Then I made the mistake of watching the retrospective after show.

What an great show. It took a little while for me to get into it, then it seemed to just fly by. In my defense, I was not mentally prepared for the final episode. I though there was one more season.

So yeah. Now I have to find another no think show. Hopefully I won’t get too attached to it.

Book review – The Strange Library

Posted on by Shawshank

Hey hey book nerds! Now it’s been a while since I’ve hosted a book review. I usually just talk a book to death in the book club. Crystal got me this cool book – The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami for my birthday. It’s really to short to break up for Book Club, so I figure that it would be better just to do a quick review of it instead.

Clocking in at 96 pages, I knew it was going to be a quick read, and boy was I right. I think it took me about a half hour to 45 minutes to read. I went into this book not knowing what was going to happen. What a wild ride.

This is supposed to be a children’s story? What a dark story for a kid. But maybe Japanese children are better prepared for this type of story.

Suffice it to say, I loved it. It was easy to follow, and even with 96 pages, Haruki really paints a rich full world in his book. You’re thrown right into the middle of it – right from the first page, seriously.

So, book nerds, if you see this book – buy it! You won’t be disappointed. I really really enjoyed it so much.
