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!!!

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT)                                                                                                                                                    http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

Deal Me In

A while back, I posted about being held hostage. See, that article was about...well I don't want to go into too much detail in case you haven't had a chance to read it yet (hint hint). Suffice it to say it was about being in a situation you'd rather not be in. Maybe you've been super fortunate not to have found yourself in a situation like that...until now. And who is your hostage taker? Say hello to COVID-19...UGH!  This virus has spread so rapidly and doesn't discriminate - everyone is a potential victim or carrier/transmitter. The best way to slow down what has become a pandemic is to limit exposure. To what? Well basically PEOPLE! Schools are closed, most businesses are closed - unless they are essential (hospitals, supermarkets, pharmacies...) restaurants are open but only for takeout or delivery. No movie theater, no malls, no parties. WE are basically on restriction! House arrest without the ankle monitors... If you're married/partnered - ok so maybe ...
