Me again! Having been absent from my WordPress site for some time, now that I'm back, the entire interface seems different (Where are the Daily Prompts? Are we not doing that anymore?). Up in the corner, next to my blog name, there's a little number "41." Click on it and come to figure out that…
If I Ran the World
If I Ran the World, The work week would be four days. People would be more efficient because they'd know they only have four days to get their work done, and they'd be grateful for the three-day weekends. Think about it. Grocery stores would be designed so you'd walk into the dry foods section, then…
Daily Prompt (From Yesterday)- Page 82 Stress
Yesterday's Daily Prompt from the Daily Post read: Open your nearest book to page 82. Take the third full sentence on the page, and work it into a post somehow. I love prompts where you have to do random stuff like this. Since I am the self-proclaimed "Blogger Without a Cause," a rebel amongst the…
Academy Awards Movie Madness- Captain Phillips
"Argh! Ahoy there me hearties!" - Captain Feathersword, The Wiggles. Not to be confused with Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks, an Academy Awards Best Picture nominee. Captain Phillips takes us back to 2009 and the Somali pirate hijacking of the Maersk Alabama, a United States cargo ship off the coast of Africa. My three word review: Exciting.…
Academy Awards Movie Madness- Nebraska

Academy Awards Movie Madness- Dallas Buyers Club
It's that time of year again-- awards season! Each year I try to see each of the Academy Awards Best Picture Nominees. Last year I managed to see six out of nine of the nominees and blogged about them. Feel free to check out last year's posts if you are procrastinating or bored. They are…
If you write it . . .
One of my all-time favorite movies is Field of Dreams (1989; Academy Awards Best Picture Nominee 1990). Baseball, Iowa, James Earl Jones, Shoeless Joe, dreams, hopes, tears . . . sigh. I first watched Field of Dreams in a lecture hall my freshman year of college on dollar movie night. I remember hiding my face as I…
Roller Boogie
Back in the early 1980's roller skating was huge, in my part of the world at least. I think it started with Roller Boogie, a 1979 film starring Linda Blair (of The Exorcist). Best. Movie. Ever. Okay, maybe not "ever," but pretty freakin' awesome. Roller Boogie was the tale of Terry Barkley (Blair) and Bobby James…

The Bechdel Test
My friend and writing partner, Angela, knows lots of stuff in general, but especially about writing. In our writing partnership, I consider her the brains of the operation, while I am just the barfer. I can cough up pages, but she's the one who cleans the barf, so to speak. Her ability is the result…
