    Let's Talk Movies #36 - 2020 - Yep it is a new decade

    Saw this a few years ago and I still come back to it from time to time. I really enjoyed the quirkiness of it, and they actually got voice actors who could sing, so the music is wonderful.

    Fall 2024-Summer 2025 New/Returning/Streaming/TV Shows

    Just finished watching "Wednesday" again ('tis the season, you know), so I'm looking forward to watching this next. FYI "Black Doves" is also excellent.

    I do too. And "Ophelia" is my favorite TS song of the past decade. I just can't get it out of my head.

    2025 Nobel Prizes

    Same. And then I see something like this: "The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace," White House communications director Steven Cheung said after the announcement on Friday morning. "President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives," Cheung...

    Taylor Swift

    OK, so... is anyone else as obsessed with "The Fate of Ophelia" as I am? This song is a serious earworm, and the literary geek in me adores the Shakespearean references. And then, of course, there's "Wood." (blushes) All right Tay Tay, we get it, Travis is seriously packin' some heat down...

    Are you ready for some Football (NFL style) - 2025/2026 season?

    While we expect to get our starting QB back after the bye week, my Vikings have been hard-hit by injuries to their starters on both sides of the ball, so I do sympathize. We barely managed to pull out a win this week, against the Browns, and I'm not really loving our chances with the gauntlet we...

    Go Isaiah! NFL Week 3: PFF Team of the Week, Player Awards That really was one hell of a performance from him. I've never seen anything like it, and I've been watching football for a looooong time.

    I have to admit it felt pretty good to see my Vikings put the hurt on Cincinnati, and while I do feel bad for the Joe Burrow fans out there, our team has been bitten pretty hard by the injury bug this year as well. We still have some of our biggest weapons out (although one of them is due to...

    JJ McCarthy is a first-time dad! His son was born on Thursday. He's had quite the week. Hope he isn't too distracted for the game this Sunday night, lol.

    Love, Balls and Courting: Tennis V

    Well, I have to say that Carlos and Jannik have truly distanced themselves from the rest of the ATP, after facing off in the final of 3 out of 4 Grand Slams this year. I like both of them, but I would enjoy seeing the other players start to step it up a little next year (yes, AZ, I'm looking at...

    He may have looked like the rookie that he truly is through three quarters of the MNF game against Chicago, but our new QB came through when it counted, and then some. J.J. McCarthy is the NFC offensive player of the week

    Jerry Jones' planet-sized ego got the best of him. I don't know if the Packers should be getting a spot ready in the trophy case for another Lombardi just yet though.
