Slayer


Alright so those who know me know that I am a big horror movie fan. I love watching them but end up terrified of them at the same time, lol. The best is when you watch them in a crowded theater, you know on the first weekend that it comes out (before folks have time to spoil it). It’s packed, dark and everyone is wide-eyed – ok some are probably squinting and/or peering from behind their hands – but everyone is just waiting for SOMETHING to happen. The anticipation, the fear is almost palpable as we wait …for the SLASHER to, well slash someone.

Or better yet – the inevitable scene where the young pretty girl hears a noise in her house – a house that she’s home alone in, BTWs – and she decides to go INVESTIGATE the noise. MAAAANNNN, the audience almost in unison laments the folly of her actions (LOL – who wrote that? LMAO). We are all like "GIRRRLLL, NOOOO!!! Have you never SEEN a horror flick?” Followed shortly by “Yep, she’s dead” Wonder if that’s why the writers put those scenes in? Just because they KNOW how we will react?

Right now, I’m binge-watching HANNIBAL…TV series that is an adaptation that’s supposed to take placed before the name Dr. Hannibal Lecter became synonymous with cannibalistic serial killers. He was actually a psych DR…a psych DR who counseled others while killing people and turning their body parts into plates worthy of 5-star chef! During a commercial break, I started to ponder what diagnosis Dr. Lecter had– no really, that’s all it takes for me to start wondering. So of course, I looked it up.  My search took me to this school’s website about their psych program. Turns out, they have a class that students watch, study and diagnosis serial killers in movies!! Can you imagine? Going to class and watching Michael Myers, Freddie Krueger, Jason Vorhees and of course Dr. Hannibal Lecter, for the purpose of diagnosing them?? They even gave a different spin on ZOMBIES!! 

Hmmm...Don’t think I want to get a degree in psychology but I have to admit, that class would be epic!!!

Podcast #1

Yay! I've finally figured out how to get the recordings to show up on my blog. So this one is a actually a test recording. But I'm playing around here, so don't expect radio quality...at least not yet 😜 This first one is a recording of a post currently up on my blog titled Hostage Negotiations. May just add the recorded versions for those who'd rather listen than read. Plus, this new app has some pretty nifty features that I cannot wait to try out! Hostage podcast Peace, Mackgurl

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? So w

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi
