Logocentric (adj).Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics).
Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:
Oh, I'm quite familiar with the Goo Goo Dolls and Colbie Caillat. Did you know Brighter Than the Sun was co-written with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder? Yeah, just had to drop my two cents
I watched Sirens. Absolutely flawless performances.
I can imagine rewatching it after a while.
First son and I watched all the old Mission Impossible movies in the past few weeks and both thought the finale was competent. My biggest gripe with the stunts was that they each could have been shorter because a 3 hour runtime + previews is hard to survive in the theater without becoming a nuisance to the others. Pretty much everyone had to leave during some part of the movie. I still enjoyed it and will rewatch it when it comes to streaming.
We had a SAG screener for Gladiator II and couldn't make it past the beginning. The acting was... I don’t even know what to say, but this one feels like it would have been better to be named something different to be able to stand on its own.
So interesting that songs "stick" like that, for whatever reason.
Mine is "Manic Monday" We would sing it every day while driving my daughter to day care before work. She still remembers that as the "going to work song".
I miss a restaurant called Sea Salt that used to be in Salt Lake. It was one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever eaten at. The pasta was made fresh every day and the ingredients fresh and mostly locally sourced. Such good food and fantastic service. A rent dispute with the landlord led to its downfall and there really hasn't been a replacement since it closed in 2018.
I love The Martian- Watney is an awesome character. I like all of Andy Weir's books. I'll have to check out the Collapsing Empire series. Lady Kiva sounds fun to read.
Two of my favorite characters are Harry Dresden from the Dresden Files and Jason from He Who Fights With Monsters. There's a line that sticks with me from one of the books- "the building was on fire and it wasn't my fault this time" that seems to perfectly sum up Harry.
And Jason- well, I like his insouciance and use of humor to hide the darkness. For female characters, I love Beth from Yellowstone- she's a trainwreck and an absolute joy to watch and see what she's going to do next. Nanny Ogg from Discworld ranks up there as well.
There was a small sandwich/ pizza shop, I always grabbed either a pizza or subs on my way home from work on Fridays. Everything was always prepared just so and the owner often threw in a big bag of chips. He would ask about my kids by their names when I came in. Once my kids started driving and they would grab our Friday night dinner he would ask if I was okay.
Sadly, the owner passed away suddenly and his son took over the business. The son didn't approach business the same, he raised the prices and never made attempts to know his customers. We stopped going there as did many of his dad's loyal customers. The business survived for about two years before folding.
Unfortunately, the building remained empty for a few years and then was bulldozed to make a parking lot for a bar that came into town.
It's a shame when we lose those special connections with others.
Last trip to Thailand after 7 months: where is Nan and the lady who sold luggage? What happened to the pastry shop? Where's Ben? Where did Joe go (at least Rick told me he moved).
When I come back to the Senior Center in Montana: "who died?".
