We shall never know the good that a simple smile can do. ~ Mother Teresa Today is December 8. I'm opening Craftvent drawer # 5. Could I attempt to catch up over the weekend? Maybe. Do I care I'm now four days behind? Not really. Am I having a fantastic time with my knitting advent…Read more Craftvent Day 5

Update on Burt
A cat has absolute emotional honesty. Human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not. ~ Ernest Hemingway We had a tense 24 hour period. Would Burt require a trip to the vets? His vote was no. Unless, we see obvious signs of injury, distress, or illness we…Read more Update on Burt
Black
A man possessed by death. A woman who can see death. The earthly and the after-world collide dangerously. Sunday night is typically Korean movie night for the British Hubby and I. We are five episodes into the Korean show Black. I have a vague idea of what's going on, but only slightly. Similar to watching…Read more Black
Conspiracy Thursday: Turkey
Gratitude turns what we already have into enough. ~ Melody Beattie Today is American Thanksgiving. Every year it seems like the entire month of November is more and more commercialized with less and less gratitude. The real story here is the forgotten fowl feud. That's right the conspiracy between poultry farmers. Chickens versus turkeys. I…Read more Conspiracy Thursday: Turkey
Korean Movie Night
"Life is like a box of chocolates." Forest Gump Before Halloween Horror Month, the British Hubby and I would watch a Korean movie on Sunday nights. Last week, we started watching an actual show instead of a movie. Black defies traditional genre labels. Is it a musical? Is it a sci-fi? Is it a detective…Read more Korean Movie Night
The Dangers of AI

Last week, we watched Godzilla vs. Megalon. This movie was action packed with a night time car chase, industrial espionage and artificial intelligence. You can also…Read more The Dangers of AI
Bonfire Night
People should not be be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people. ~ Alan Moore, V for Vendetta Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes night is one of my favorite British holidays. I love this country still celebrates a treasonous attempt to blow up parliament 400 years after the fact. I especially…Read more Bonfire Night
G Rated Godzilla
The road to success is always under construction. ~ Lilly Tomlin About four months ago, The British Hubby and I started watching Godzilla movies on a Friday the 13th. We haven't even made a dent in the Godzilla movie anthology. This week's movie was All Monster's Attack. It was themed more for Godzilla fans aged…Read more G Rated Godzilla
Godzilla Double Feature
I always root for the monster. ~ J. R. Ward Last week, we watched the Son of Godzilla. It was a bit silly even by monster movie standards. It wasn't one of my favorite. Fortunately, this week's movie was better. Destroy all Monster was a monster filled cast! Godzilla, the Son of Godzilla, Mothra,…Read more Godzilla Double Feature
Twisted Cuban
No culture can live if it attempts to be exclusive. ~ Gandhi I love my British Hubby. He's quirky. He's witty. He's humorous. He's also a hermit crab. Don't get me wrong, I'm a card carrying introvert. When an introvert marries a hermit crab, they don't often venture outside of their own bubble. While this…Read more Twisted Cuban
