I just won’t watch Titanic, ok? Ever since February of this past year, I have been watching bad movie upon bad movie. I have been staying up late as I am addicted to corny, cheesy, bad film. However, I have to say I draw the proverbial line at […]
Well that’s a summer wrap Like a squirrel I have been storing away little news bits this past summer that have been of interest in their wackiness. I just have not had the time to sit, process and write about them as I used to. Amazing how a […]

Imsomnia? Don’t watch an Adam Sandler movie at night and 6 other things not to do! Ever since I moved back out to California, I have been having a hard time falling asleep. I don’t even think about falling asleep early. And it is not like I am […]
