I watched Mr. Limpet a little bit ago. It was the first time I had watched it since I was waiting for a kidney and was seeing it with my grandma. The interesting thing about it is that I had a blue Siamese fighting fish named Mr. Limpet. The name was given by my wife, who may have still been my fiancee at the time. It was shortly into the movie, ( Read more... )

I would really like one more day on my weekend. I guess I'll get that next weekend. I was supposed to at least get together to play some music, but two people couldn't do it due to changing schedules and the other one flaked out. I didn't see anyone, as it turns out ( Read more... )

I love the smell of pizzerias. I got a whiff of that scent in my car late this afternoon. I went to a place that sells pizza by the slice and bought three slices. One was a crazy concoction by one of the workers. He called it the nacho pizza. It has nacho, mozzarella, and cheddar cheeses, ground beef, bacon, jalepeños, and toasted Doritos on top. I ( Read more... )

I saw a magazine cover recently with a cover story on mindfulness for women. My first thought was if it meant it was pH balanced ( Read more... )

Some dates you don't forget. My once-wife passed nine years ago today. I always feel a little lonelier today ( Read more... )

I took a nap this afternoon and had a dream. I suppose that I always have dreams and a good recollection what they were after I wake. This one brought me back to marriage and being closer to home. I woke homesick and depressed. I am in the fun part of the year, when I start having nightmares from PTSD and lingering thoughts of a past life ( Read more... )

Well, the job search is over. It feels really weird. I had been working as a freelancer for small businesses and startups for a while, picking up little gigs like a scavenger. It was never really fulfilling. In a manner, I had been looking on some level since my 2013 layoff. I spent long hours looking for a position in recent weeks, and I finally ( Read more... )

Do you know how people will sometimes confuse actors or other celebrities? I do that with Fats Domino and Chubby Checker, which has to be the dumbest and most irrelevant celebrity mix-up a person can have. It's not that I listen to their music, but I do reference them for some unholy reason. It comes up now and then, just like it did tonight ( Read more... )

I got tested for COVID today. This is my seventh test since the start of the pandemic. This one was taken differently. I just had to rotate it through my nostrils. I'm good with not having a nurse aggressively swabbing my sinus cavity. Well, I guess only half of them did. Some were gentle ( Read more... )

And so continue the movies. I finally saw The Happening today. There was a time where I watched every M. Night Shyamalan, but that got lost in the shuffle somewhere somehow. I imagined at the time what this movie might entail and was completely wrong. I can at least say now that I saw it.  I also watched The Bling Ring. It was okay. More than ( Read more... )
