Let’s role play, I’ll wear a disguise

Posted on by Shawshank

So I paused Brooklyn 99, to fix my bed, cause I was a little tossy turny last night, and my weighted blanket slipped down down down, so I went in to fix it. I’ve been trying so hard to keep The Flat clean and tidy. I mean, I run toaster 3 times a week. I walked into the bedroom, and was floored with what I saw.

Needless to say I was a little upset. I remade the bed, put the clothes in the hamper, after unrolling the sleeves.

Next, the kitchen. I put away all the dishes and wiped down the counter.

I feel better now that I’ve cleaned up. I’ll do better in the future. It’s stupid, but I’m really really trying to not live in a pit.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Yeah, I just wanna take you home

All the chores are done. Lunch has been consumed. And all the art has been put up. I’m on movie number 3. Maybe you can guess the movie?

Anyway, here’s the art. Enjoy the decal. It’s annoying, but it makes Crystal laugh. Like when I say assless chaps.

I spent a few summers here.
I got the anchor for Crystal.
The paintings name is “Solitude”.

Home Video – The Hunger Games

Posted on by Shawshank

So, this week, instead of reading, I watched a trilogy in 4 parts. That’s right, movie nerds, I watched The Hunger Games. Based on a bestselling trilogy of books by Suzanne Collins, we’re transported to the world of Panem.

I won’t get into the whole history of the Hunger Games. Y’all have read the books by now. I know it’s been years since I’ve read them. I was introduced to them, when a tropical storm hit Rhode Island, and we lost power for like a week.

In my opinion, the first book was really really good. Then it went down hill from there. But I digress. I’m not here to talk about the book series. I’m here to talk about the dumpster fire that is the film series.

JLaw, in my opinion, cannot act her way out of a wet paper bag. She’s terrible. I think a wet labradoodle could have been a better Katnis Everdeen.

I went through the whole series ( I’m on the last movie as I type this), with no emotional investment in any of the characters.

Are the books better than the movies? Or the other way around? I don’t think I have an answer for that. Your thoughts?

I walk through her hills ’cause she knows who I am

I wake up in the morning, with the alarm clocks warning, I don’t think I’ll ever make it on time. – Saved by the Bell.

Good morning happy Tuesday! Let’s get jiggy with it. I believe I had a pretty good sleep last night. And while I’d love just one more day off, I don’t have one, so in a few hours, I’ll be heading off to work.

The last five days have been really nice. I’m settled in The Flat, and have a couple of meals under my belt. I still remember how to do it.

Ok, I’m gonna go. I’m still trying to find news on these free streaming apps. Happy Tuesday!

Book club – Plain Bad Heroines

Posted on by Shawshank

Good afternoon, book nerds! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Life had me busy for a little while. Well, life has slowed down a little, so I am able to read a little more.

I made some progress on Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth. Not a lot, but I’m getting back into the swing of things, and that makes me happy.

We’re really getting into the meat and potatoes of the story. It’s been a slow burn, but the chapters are starting to feel like they’re flying by.

In the book, they’re starting to film on location and the school. They’re starting to find that somethings are getting creepier, and not explainable.

I’m still in joying the dual timelines. Although, I am liking the current time line the best, as that’s the one that seems to be moving the plot forward.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday, book nerds! See you next time!
