My Day... Sixteen years Ago ( 9-11 Rememberence)
Tuesday Morning, I am barely awake, and drifting in and out of
consciousness. I woke at 6 to let the cat in and in am not very
successfully trying to get back to sleep, before the 8:00Am alarm. At
about 7:15-20 My Phone rings, and if it's ringing, it’s

Otherwise nothing has felt, good or memorable. Well I found an alternative. Down my street, a couple of blocks is CGV Cienmas, which is a Korean ( Read more... ) -
Netflix Recommendation: "Stranger Things" Season 1
I Binged watched all of Netflix's "Stranger Things" today while working on art. Reccommended to my high school friends and gaming buddies. It's a love Letter to the early 1980's, and they nailed the period, perfectly. The Plot is also very much like a Good 1980's Stephen King novel or 1980's movie, like Poltergeist. So take a trip back to November ( Read more... )
