The Army of Darkness is the sequel to Evil Dead II. I’d never seen Evil Dead II, so we tried it. It’s a cabin in the woods story that is a bit campy and comically gory, but the story is a little tired and the setting is limited to the cabin and woods. It didn’t keep our attention.
I don’t follow pop culture, but it must mean something that for the first time in a few decades, there are no rap songs amongst the Top 40.
It’s been cold and rainy all day. It’s 45o F outside, but with the drizzle, it’s miserable. Sparky and I are taking a mental health day, so we don’t have to do shit. The wood stove is blazing and there is enough wood racked to keep the house warm and cozy all day.
South Korea gives Trump golden crown, medal conferring highest honor
Will the “No Kings” protestors get all wee-wee’d up that Trump now has a crown, or will they never learn that South Korea presented President Trump with their highest civilian honor?
Sparky gets nothing out of a cold and rainy day. Until the fire in the wood stove gets going, he intends to lay right here. If I want to rub his belly, that would be okay with him.
“Why are you staring at me?”
When I took Sparky out this morning, it was cold and drizzly, but the trees are having a good Autumn. The photo unintentionally came out blurry and impressionistic. I like it.
If this turns out to be a horror movie series for Halloween, here is the second movie.
The movie title, Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl, explains the plot. Since this is a Japanese movie from 2009, the fun comes from watching their take on American style and culture. This might be a parody, I can’t tell. The version I watched was in English, and dubbed very well.
Sparky doesn’t care about watching TV, but I had a piece of toast with apple butter. Good Boy is the supernatural horror movie viewed from the dog’s perspective. Sparky wasn’t getting my toast, but he might appreciate seeing a hero that looked like him. Representation didn’t help the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but maybe it works with dogs.
Why Chicago’s Brandon Johnson fumed at ‘illegal alien’ question
The quote in the title comes from George Orwell, and everybody thinks that he was smart.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson argued that the phrase “illegal alien” strips away the humanity of the person in question.
