This is about a few of the dumb things I did today... So I sit in the car at the Wal-Mart trying to collect my thoughts and what not. I decide that even though I have on sweats and a hat to cover up my pinned curled hair (A HAT... not one of the satin bonnets... ijs) I needed a lil lipstick. I put on some and then head out thinking I look a hot mess but the lipstick has redeemed me. The cute (random) bread dude that I have seen around delivering well BREAD is getting out of his truck and I'm glad I did that lil extra something. I shop, then leave, look down at my bright green sweet shirt and the big ass red stain. SO DAMN... Here I am knowing I look a hot mess but then see this big ass stain and just start to laugh #becausewhynot !!!
Tonight I am doing some major putzying in the basement. I step on something wet and think it was water from the laundry. I look down and nope NOT WATER but a freaking cricket. I don't know where these bitches come from but ever few years or so I have ALOT and then they die out and then they come back. I was doing a load and threw 1 sock in the washer. JUST ONE!! Like who does that!?!?! And I've been walking around the house with one sock. Yes my left foot is cold! Yes I have many socks in my sock basket. Why am I doing this to myself?
Back to the good Wal-Mart, some of the cashiers are a little off to me. I thought the dude who is checking me out was talking to himself, but then he says "this time last year I didn't have wheels." Maybe I'm the off one here cause I said you mean a car? He said yes! I said well that is definitely a good thing!! He said it sure is! People just want to be heard no matter how minimal or major the thing is. I want to be heard sometimes too. Unfortunately I'm feeling really unheard. I hear myself talking and then I feel ignored. I might just stop talking all together.

pre-thanksgiving 2016
I ran into the Royal farms to get a few wings after a meeting the other day. It always annoys me when the cashier and the cooks and whoever else works there always seem to be having this conversation and not really too concerned with the customer. And that was the case this night. The lil cashier looked like it was too much for her to touch my money like she had just gotten her nails done but in reality she needed a fill in (yes I am petty). She is talking to one of the cook guys and that are basically yelling back and forth to each other. There really weren't many people in the store so it wasn't too much of a big deal, but then you also had the dude at the other cash register who couldn't figure out something for the dude who wanted to get gas at one of the pumps. my number was called pretty fast, I got my wings and was putting my card into my purse when the lil boy who called my number and is now finished with me say "yeah cause all my relationships are like (the movie) Baby Boy" I look up, catch his eye, and I say "OH I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!!" They laugh and then I leave. BUT I HAZ QUESTIONS!!! What the heck did he mean? Does he live with his mother? Does he have multiple baby mamas? Does he do his main baby mama bad? He at least has a job at the good RoFo so maybe he doesn't drop his baby mama off and take the car. I just had and still have questions about the whole thing.
Yes ma'am with the bad teeth and even worse hairdo I AM looking at your man cause he is fine as hell. Yes I see you both in the spice aisle, the bread aisle and now YEP I'm standing behind you in line cause I want to continue to look at him. In these cases I always thing that's not really her man, it's probably her brother or cousin or something. I was being so blatant it's a shame!!! And then I think well maybe if I knock a few teeth out I too could have a man who looks like that!!! I was so busy looking at her teeth though I didn't get a chance (even though I was looking pretty hard) to check out his teeth situation. So you know maybe that's why they are together.
It feels like I have been to the store 50 times in 3 days. Thanksgiving is on Thursday and it is Tuesday. I stood at the fresh turkey bin and had a discussion with a woman about the difference between fresh and frozen. I concluded that it is already Tuesday you really don't have enough time to thaw it out. Well unless you do it in the sink or something but 'they' say that is not the safest way. I'm sure people have died over the years I just don't know any personally who thawed out a turkey or chicken and then got salmonella. Anyway so as not to drive myself crazy, I got a fresh turkey.
I'm doing a challenge that I really hope I can stick to, and that's the 'eat what I have' challenge. The thought is that I should have enough food in the house to eat without having to go out to eat. I have cleaned out my freezer pretty good so good that I didn't have any frozen veggies so I got a few the other day. I tend not to buy so much meat because, well the roommate is so dang particular!!! I have several bags of frozen fruit from back when I was all in with the green smoothie challenge. And I have a lot of cans of food. I shop like there is going to be a zombie apocalypse sometimes. It's easy to just run out and grab something and forget (or ignore) that I have food in the house! McDonald's and Taco Bell are right around the corner. The McPick is $2.50 and a sweet tea is a buck so for just under 4 bucks I can have something that resembles a meal. But I need to do better and that is the goal for the rest of the year. I know I will need some exceptions, like milk, bread, and bananas, but I think this is doable!

a twofer... 10.21.16
I just posted a blog I wrote last week, but I have more stuff in me!
I had been reading some old posts from this date 10/21. My goal in 2013 was to post more blogs, 3 a week to be precise. WE all know how that one worked out LOL. In 2015 I rehashed my experience with all the critters squirrels and mice that seemed to want to live in the house with me, Paisley, and the roommate which would be a great title of a book!!! LOL
I had a really vivid dream last night or more like right before I woke up which is probably why I remembered it. So all of my family was around this island in this kitchen. The specific people I remember were my nieces and my brother but the house was full so I know there were others there. And then there was this little light skinded baby who I think was mine (?) then this light skin man with a red beard (he was black but he had red hair) who I think was also mine, but then I kept flashing forward and back so at one point I was pregnant and then the baby was there. It was weird and I have no idea what it means and NO there no way I'm pregnant not no way!! SO yeah I have no idea what this means. My mother... err I mean roommate had a pretty vivid dream the other day. She was running down some steep steps to get to the blue Dodge car, she needed to get it in the garage. This issue with her dreams is that she usually thinks they are real. When I say to her well it was a dream sometimes she gets really belligerent and other days she can accept that yep it was a dream. This particular day she spent most of the day trying to convince the caregiver that she needed to get out of the bed and move the car into the garage. The caregiver indulged her for the most part and even as she left she was trying to comfort her by saying she would take care of the car. Now me being the daughter and also caregiver, I have to bring her to present day reality. Lady you have not driven a car in at least 7 years, your son has your car, the house with the garage is in Pittsburgh has been sold, my car is a blue car which she kept telling me NO IT WAS A DODGE... so yeah ALL OF THAT!!
I am a YouTube chick! I watch shows on it and then start following the people (content creators and actors) on the Instagram and Twitter. One station in particular (Black & Sexy TV) took their content to VHX and has a yearly subscription. Another Issa Rae just created a show on HBO called Insecure and the tagline is "She's trying hard AF!!" It has gotten rave reviews! But it took for FREAKING ever and I was able to watch the process. SO go RIGHT NOW to HBO and watch. I actually had to stop and think about black people in general being on the TV and this year has not been too bad. I mean it always could be better. Actually it seems network TV is more inclined to putting black men on than black women. This show celebrates black women who don't have it all but that's ok cause we all DON'T have it all, nor are we all sassy, and angry and loud and secure. We are not a monolith! And we like to see that there are other types of black women other than the sassy sidekick.
There was a man that said or rather typed something rather crude about how my mind could change based on the time of month. I actually let it go, I didn't even cuss him the fuck out even though it will happen sooner or later. Let me explain to ALL who read this, I am tired of having to explain myself as not being angry or mad when my opinion differs from yours. I'm tired feeling like I have to lower my voice to make you feel comfortable because GOD FORBID if I raise it I am clearly on my period and emotional and/or trying to take on wifely duties because I'm telling you what to do. Trust me I don't want to be your wife! Nor am I trying to tell you what to do. I'm tired of having to put a smile on my face because again, I feel the need to pacify. I have had conversations with other black women where we say well we gotta be the ABC (angry black chick) today or try not being the ABC because no matter how 'nice' we are, folks will see us as angry and it is so exhausting. I give up! I'm done trying to make you feel ok! ALSO I am going to say what I want when I want which is what I usually do, but there are a few folks who I still tend to censor myself but NO MAS!! (which is Spanish for no more LOL)
I have a cousin (our grandmothers were sisters) who I never met but who I was friends with on Facebook and Pinterest. She passed away a few weeks ago. It is very sad because she has a ton of 1st cousins and I think they are in the same boat as me as never having met her. Her birthday is today and it is popping up on Facebook and it is just sad. She has young kids and no one seems to be saying anything or at least the family that I am close with don't seem to know anything.
Someone needs to give me their Netflix code so I can watch Luke Cage. There is NO shame in my game!!!
This man has decided to hack up all of his lung and I must now go!!
And now I want chicken...

10.21.16
Sometimes I work really hard at doing nothing! It occurred to me that I do care what some people think of me. NOT ALL people but some, and not even all the time, and that drives me to look busy and do stuff even when alls I want to do is stay in bed and watch TV.
I was really close to going inside of the bank and cussing the teller out who gave me a crazy look. Ok let me back up a bit.. About a year ago (maybe more maybe less) one of my banks (cause we all know I'm balling and have so much money and so many account (well I do have more accounts than I care to share, the amount of money is not so much)) Susquehanna got bought out by BB&T. I opened my account at Susquehanna when the now defunct Provident bank decided it was k to keep nickel and diming me for dumb shit. So I was a happy customer at the now defunct Susquehanna. I knew the change was coming and even my account # changed which I guess makes sense but I still can remember my old # and clearly I don't do well with change. I had a whole $50 and the bank person was like OH did you want to close your account? What I didn't know at the time is that my old account which everything was free was grandfathered in, so now BB&T is not making any money from my account. A few months passed and I deposited $200 into the account and the cashier told me that I shouldn't make any changes because I was getting free everything and that they didn't offer that with any new accounts coming on. Huh, really? Thank you sir for that info!! Recently I started selling jewelry and I decided to use this account as my 'business' account. I am not familiar with this bank. Today I go to the ATM and attempt to make a deposit. Well you need an envelope. EVERY other account I have you can just put the cash or the check right in without an envelope so then I just decide to do the drive thru. I still needed to fill out a deposit slip. The young lady give me a pen and a slip, it literally take me 2 seconds to fill out but then she start counting ALL of the money in the bank and does NOT check on me. So I tap on the window... nothing. I push the little call button twice... still nothing. SO I beep my horn. The other cashier turned around like I had wrecked her complete day. I say to the other little girl WHY IS SHE LOOKING AT ME CRAZY? You didn't even check on me!! It only took 2 seconds to fill out the slip. So then attitude girl I guess does the deposit and tells me that I should have just pushed the button. What I wanted to say was BITCH I DID!! What I said was...I did TWICE and neither one of you responded. Stuff like this can piss me off but i'm not gon let it mess up my good day!
I had just came from Duesenberg's and had the Marilyn Muenster which was brisket, caramelized onions and muenster cheese. LORD it was good!! I usually get breakfast food and specifically French toast when I go there but it was lunch time and everyone had sandwiches that looked awesome, so that's what I got. When I was finished this elderly fellow came and sat at the table next to me. He was flirting a bit and we both said how beautiful the day was. I threw on a big sweatshirt because I thought it was a little chillier. His wife finally came out and she commented too how nice it was and how they both wore jackets because they thought it was going to be cooler. I looked at both of them and they were not a bad looking couple. I would love to see their wedding picture because I'm convinced they were both very attractive in their day.
I'm sitting on a bench outside of the library. Mainly because it's a little too chilly inside and the sun keeps peeking through the clouds. It is a BEA-U-TI-FUL day. That's how my grandmother would say the word, emphasizing ALL of the syllables. Usually when I come to the library I have on my headphones but since I'm outside I'm doing a little people watching. So a man walks out with his long ponytail and I chuckle because he is bald in the center. I guess he is holding out as long as he possibly can. When I was inside one guy with headphones was watching what looked like The Voice or one of those kind of shows sand was getting his ever loving life!!! Then I looked up and one couple with about 5 teeth between them were researching something (I couldn't see y'all know I was looking LOL). Then another couple decided they needed to have a conversation even though he was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY down on the 1st computer and she was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY up near the printer. Folks don't adhere to the silence rule I remember it used to being back in the day. OH so the other day I went to the one near my house and this was a few hours before school let out so it wasn't buzzing with kids just yet. One guy at the back table had 2 computers set up and tablet but my dude was sleep. And I don't just mean his eyes were closed, this fool was snoring like he was at home in his own bed. I sat at the back tables because it was in front of the window but then as I was unpacking my stuff I was really trying to decide if my earbuds were going to drown out his snoring. One of the librarians finally came over to see if he was ok. He was apologetic but then I think went back to sleep. So then the security guard came over and said sir, maybe you need to walk around a bit and this is when the man got indignant. The whole thing was funny. He was just trying to do his lil job! About 10 minutes later the man started packing up all his stuff and then left.
My neighbors are all horrible, but I really think what's going on is I'm ready to move. Not necessarily because of them but more because this has been the longest I have lived anywhere (well on my own). I don't want neighbors. I want a long driveway that I don't have to share with anyone and not have to be bothered with who's car is in front of my house at any given time. I'm sitting across from 2 houses that have nice driveways. This neighborhood is really nice. And you can tell they are all owned as opposed to rented and people keep up their homes very nicely. That has been one of my issues is that even though the houses are owned in my neighborhood, the kids and grandkids that are living there, probably rent free, are renters. They just do dumb and inconsiderate shit. I'm not in any position to move any time soon and I need to get a few more things fixed in the house before I can think real hard about it.
A chick just passed me with a shirt on that she is tryna pass off as a dress. REALLY GIRL? That shit is too short and I know it's a shirt!! You know what I'm truly sick of, grown ass folks leaving their house with pajamas on. It is BEYOND ridiculous! Like really cookie monster bitch? REALLY? I saw this real grown man coming out of Taco Bell once with pajamas on and I looked at him and just shook my head. You look FOOLISH!!
and now more rants...
I'm in the supermarket yesterday and the girl parked her cart right in the center and proceeded to look for whatever thee hell. EXCUSE ME MA'AM if you and your too tight scrub wearing ass don't get the hell outta my way I'ma know something!! And then she moved but then didn't say excuse me or anything, she was just being rude. You had a hard day ok fine, just get outta my way!!
Then I see a cutie looking in the meat section, but when I circled back and he was gone :( #mylife. I was trying to have my 'black people meet' moment, but alas, it was not meant to be.
WHY do people have to constantly be on their phone and specifically their blue too (LOL). I'm at the deli and the dude is having a full on convo but it's his turn. I signal for to him to go, he gets some cheese. The lil deli dude had a question but he too busy on the phone so I said SIR!!! and he's like OH ok... And I then I start mumbling you need to PAY ATTENTION!!!
At certain stores I know who's line to get in and who's line NOT to get in. Yesterday's cashier was a NOT line. She moved so very slowly and for truly no good reason. It's not like I was in a rush but she didn't know that and there was no sense of urgency. At the Giant on 40 it's the older white lady with yellow hair who has to take a sip of whatever thee hell and talk to me while she is ringing up my items. I'm all for mindless banter, but let's get me out of this store as quickly as possible. Then there is the black lady at the Shopper's also on 40 who reminds me of an old lunch lady. She will get you OUT of the store real fast so I tend to look for her when I'm in that store. There is a lady with koolaid red hair at the Price Rite but they never have enough cashier on at any given time so even though she is a NOT line, sometimes she's the only one.
OH my Lord why did that man smell so good who just passed me... COME BACK SIR!!!

You know what I'm truly sick of, grown ass folks leaving their house with pajamas on. It is BEYOND ridiculous! Like really cookie monster bitch? REALLY? I saw this real grown man coming out of Taco Bell once with pajamas on and I looked at him and just shook my head. You look FOOLISH!!
and now more rants...
I'm in the supermarket yesterday and the girl parked her cart right in the center and proceeded to look for whatever thee hell. EXCUSE ME MA'AM if you and your too tight scrub wearing ass don't get the hell outta my way I'ma know something!! And then she moved but then didn't say excuse me or anything, she was just being rude. You had a hard day ok fine, just get outta my way!!
Then I see a cutie looking in the meat section, but when I circled back and he was gone :( #mylife. I was trying to have my 'black people meet' moment, but alas, it was not meant to be.
WHY do people have to constantly be on their phone and specifically their blue too (LOL). I'm at the deli and the dude is having a full on convo but it's his turn. I signal for to him to go, he gets some cheese. The lil deli dude had a question but he too busy on the phone so I said SIR!!! and he's like OH ok... And I then I start mumbling you need to PAY ATTENTION!!!
At certain stores I know who's line to get in and who's line NOT to get in. Yesterday's cashier was a NOT line. She moved so very slowly and for truly no good reason. It's not like I was in a rush but she didn't know that and there was no sense of urgency. At the Giant on 40 it's the older white lady with yellow hair who has to take a sip of whatever thee hell and talk to me while she is ringing up my items. I'm all for mindless banter, but let's get me out of this store as quickly as possible. Then there is the black lady at the Shopper's also on 40 who reminds me of an old lunch lady. She will get you OUT of the store real fast so I tend to look for her when I'm in that store. There is a lady with koolaid red hair at the Price Rite but they never have enough cashier on at any given time so even though she is a NOT line, sometimes she's the only one.
OH my Lord why did that man smell so good who just passed me... COME BACK SIR!!!

it's ok remember you got it!
I'm not really a political person. I see all the posts that my friends and associates make. Sometimes I agree and sometime I don't. There as one post about the anthem where the person was so adamant about being offended for not standing that I just kept on scrolling. Not really a battle I felt like fighting. Her are my quick and dirty thoughts on the state of things that go on in my head...
BLACK LIVES MATTER because they do and yes all lives matter, but I'm not beating anyone up for saying all lives matter because they do but MY life and the lives of people who look like me (which is Black) have been marginalized and undervalued and it is seen everyday in the media. I am so afraid for all of my black nephews, cousin and any man that speak out or NOT and are just living while being black and die because of it. And on that same note I am afraid for my nieces and all the women I know because I KNOW I have a smart mouth and that could be me just as easily as Sandra Bland refusing to do something cause the white office got mad because he lost (or felt he lost) control of the situation.
The election - I have been registered since I turned 18. Clinton was the first president I voted for and every primary and general election I have voted. It was quite hilarious (or maybe sad?) to me that many people registered to be able to vote for Barack Obama. Like there were so many other issues going on prior to this but you had absolutely NO SAY! And now we have 2 major choices Trump and Hilary Clinton. Honestly the only reason I'm voting for her is cause she's a grandmother. There are probably more compelling reason to vote for her or not, but that's my reason. There are SOOOOO many reasons not to vote for Trump. He can't even get his color of his skin and that mop he has on top of his head together!!! Petty reasons I know, but again... enough for me. What is so scary is folks won't vote and then complain. Folks have disrespected Obama for 8 solid years but think Trump is the answer? I'm afraid!!!!
The national anthem - we only sing that 1st verse which is very majestic and patriotic. There are some stanzas (4 in total) that say some pretty awful shit. I may be time for it to be changed completely. Some have suggested America the Beautiful but there may be some questionable lyrics there too.
As I was writing this yet another black man lost his life at the hands of a police officer who thought he was a 'bad dude'. So even though he was doing nothing, his car was in need of repair, his life was of no value and he was killed. I don't know what to do. I am just at a loss... A friend posted a video of how an officer was so over the top. Thankfully the man didn't die in this case, but I still cried because the man asking question the officer was being a total dick and pulled his gun just because he could. This is what is so scary. You can be doing absolutely nothing and still DIE!!
After the 1st debate...
So I got home late yesterday and didn't catch all of the debate but I caught a good portion of it. I really do want to hear what Trump has to say. I mean I REALLY DO! But he didn't really answer the questions and stop and frisk is NOT the answer. I want to be like has that ever happened to you? I mean I know it hasn't but when your civil rights are just stepped all on and ignored time and time again just because someone thinks you did something, then there is a problem. My drop the mic moment was when HRC said "... I prepared to be president!.." I said well shit the debate can just end now!!
meanwhile.. the man who just sat down next to me smells SO GOOD!! I might have to move. It's a little distracting LOL

random shenanigans...
last week...
I am procrastinating like a real G right now! I should be putting my business plan together but instead I am looking out the window at the kids leaving Woodlawn High School and the car which I'm sure is a ford but then he has rims! I had a chevette when I was in high school and NO RIMS LOL we actually rims weren't a thing back then. I am listening to a house mix by Ian Friday which is a mistake because I want to sing ad dance along and we all know I'm at the library. Now the reason I left the house today is because I know the bed would have held me hostage all day. As I watch these kids some look like they have on uniforms and some don't. I don't know what the rhyme or reason is behind any of it. I'm assuming school started this week but no one looks FRESH! no fresh hair cuts. no fresh outfits. Even the weaved up girls don't look fresh. no fresh braids. a few fresh book bags...
And I'm thinking back LAWD over 20 years ago, I guess my crew of friends we didn't really live near each other and therefore didn't take the same bus. at least I don't remember well except for the activities bus.
Maybe Woodlawn Library is not he place to be since its right next to Woodlawn High school and ALL of the children are here!!!
a few days ago...
I am looking at my bank account and I have had a great summer but now I need for money to be coming in and NOT out. But what's funny is I really don't have any frivolous expenses except for cable! my bills are super tight!! Meaning, I live within my means. I haven't bought anything from QVC nor HSN since May 31st so ALLA YOU who think I need an intervention can leave me the hell alone cause I haven't bought nothing. What I need to stop doing is eating out so much because that is eating away (ha I made a funny!!) at my account as well. But my justification is that if I bought the food I might have thrown it away and I hate wasting food. Ok so yeah maybe not really but that's my story!! And I do cook. I made spaghetti last night, cabbage and potatoes au gratin Monday night. The roommate is hella picky so she likes more processed food and thanksgiving food and no one cooks like that anymore. I mean I DO because I don't want her to starve; and my sister indulges her too. And by the time thanksgiving rolls around I'm gonna want lasagna! I actually do like to cook and here lately I've been craving my grandmother's fried chicken but I don't know what she put in it AND she had a copper bowl that she put it in which maybe had something to do with the taste, I just don't know. I've been trying to perfect my potato salad and it is getting there! But I really don't fry a lot of anything so that might be something that may just elude me.
HA... looking on my order history. The earrings I bought that are now broken were $37!! I thought I spent way more. AND THEY ARE ON CLEARANCE FOR $19... MUST. STAY. STRONG.... : O
Ok I just clicked off QVC. It mighta got dangerous!
Why are there 2 security guards at the library?!
I was going to do a review of all the movies I saw this summer... **SPOILERS**
Finding Dory - very cute movie. I'm not a big fan of sequels but I thought this was a cute. I read a few reviews and someone said the whole remembery thing got a little tired, but that is the whole reason Dory helped find Nemo! She was looking for her parents and then started helping Marlin and forgot she was looking for her own family. I cried... BIG SHOCKER! IT only got ridiculous how they kept jumping from different waters like OK really!?!! And I wasn't the onliest adult at the movie. I went at 10:30 in the morning and what I also didn't know was that the 1st show was 6 bucks!! That made my frugal heart so happy
Suicide Squad - I like the super hero movie genre and this was supposed to be the super villains movie, but I really left there like MEH! The premise was that a group of villains were gathered so that if anything major happened they could help correct it or something. BUT the Enchantress who then woke up her brother Incubus (who I had to goggle afterward) was creating an army of bad guys and then ultimately a machine that the villain bad guys were supposed to defeat. I was going to go into all the characters, but nah. They did a back story for each of the characters so you knew why they got to be the way they were EXCEPT Slipknot so I knew his ass was gonna be the first to die!! And he did. I didn't really know why Killer Croc was a mutant except that he JUST WAS. And they made sure to show Harley Quinn's nonass ass. Maybe flat asses get some men (and women I don't judge) off. It was good to see Jai Courtney who plays a big jerk in the Divergent series (oh wait only 2 cause Tris killed him in #2) be a non-jerk although at the end, why didn't he get to pick something he wanted for his cell? Killer Croc got BET (LMBAO) and Harley got an espresso maker... but he didn't get anything. I'm glad I hopped to this one after Dory because I would have been a little mad had I paid for it!
Ghostbusters - So I found a real life cheap movie theater, the ticket was $4.50!! And since I waited so long to see it I had to travel almost the entire 695 beltway (not really... it was just past White Marsh). There were about 3 older white couples and the ones directly in front of me were talking in regular voices even as the movie began. ME being me said pretty loudly ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! They heard me and got the message. IT was almost as if they were like well let's just go see it! Having had no prior knowledge of the Ghostbuster movies in the 80's. They missed ALL of the references and cameos. Like the bust of Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd as the cabbie, and Bill Murray as the ghost debunker. Even Slimer had a cameo! The only person I was shocked wasn't in there was Rick Moranis (I had to do a quick search... he is still alive, maybe they didn't ask him?) I had really high expectations like it was gonna be a laugh a minute. And it was funny, just not AS funny as I thought Leslie Jones did not disappoint ACTUALLY all of them were funny! And then Chris FREAKING Hemsworth. I really didn't watch any previews so just like Idris in Star Trek I didn't even know he was in the movie! He is my white boy/Hollywood crush ALL the time. He is just so pretty **swoon** and you don't have to see it but if you don't then something is really wrong with you. The gag was Kristen Wiig was the only one who initially thought he was a cutie everyone else was like YEAH WHATEVER! I enjoyed him! I had a flashback to when I was 15 an attempted to have a date to go see Ghostbusters 2 at the Penn Hills movie theater but we missed the bus so we hung out in East Liberty I think LOLOLOL WHEW (now I gotta do a quick FB stalk... I think he's married with kids now. His wife is pretty but he never did get his teeth fixed and 1 kid LOL) Back to the movie... Omar from the Wire was in it, and Andy Garcia... and a whole lot of big names. I liked it and I'm glad I got to see it on the big screen. and they had a movie after the movie. Oh you have to stay put until the very last credit is rolled! There was a whole dance scene with Christ and the police/army which was hilarious. OH they got slimed a lot. That was little gross so every ghost had the ability to slime you. YUCK!! And there will be a #2 cause they already set it up that way.
today...
Jason Bourne - I mean so I saw it because it was one of those movies I needed to see. But I honestly should have watched all of the movies that led up to it because I had no good idea what was going on and I'm sure at a pretty pivotal part, I took a lil snooze (which seems to be my norm here lately). I think this movie had a lot of anticipation and probably like it's counterpart, on a lazy Saturday afternoon it will be the perfect movie to watch.
Star Trek: Beyond - I said already that I didn't even know Idris Elba was the main villain in this mostly because I knew the movie was coming out but I really hadn't looked at the trailers. I had heard that they were making the character Sulu gay (which sorta pissed Geroge Takai off who really is gay in real life) and then I got confused because at his desk in the movie he had a picture of a little girl but then when they met with their families it was another Asian man that he greeted. So I was excited to see it but I had no idea what it was going to be about. So basically they went to this planet beyond all this debris trying to save this one aliens crew who lied about her reasons and then Idris had all this makeup.... Ummm I saw this one a while back The good thing is I didn't go to sleep. Obviously I need to see it again.
I was gonna split up the top from the movie review but I found that I didn't have much more to say!
I am procrastinating like a real G right now! I should be putting my business plan together but instead I am looking out the window at the kids leaving Woodlawn High School and the car which I'm sure is a ford but then he has rims!

They missed ALL of the references and cameos. Like the bust of Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd as the cabbie, and Bill Murray as the ghost debunker. Even Slimer had a cameo! The only person I was shocked wasn't in there was Rick Moranis (I had to do a quick search... he is still alive, maybe they didn't ask him?) I had really high expectations like it was gonna be a laugh a minute. And it was funny, just not AS funny as I thought
Leslie Jones did not disappoint ACTUALLY all of them were funny! And then Chris FREAKING Hemsworth. I really didn't watch any previews so just like Idris in Star Trek I didn't even know he was in the movie! He is my white boy/Hollywood crush ALL the time. He is just so pretty **swoon** and you don't have to see it but if you don't then something is really wrong with you. The gag was Kristen Wiig was the only one who initially thought he was a cutie everyone else was like YEAH WHATEVER! I enjoyed him! I had a flashback to when I was 15 an attempted to have a date to go see Ghostbusters 2 at the Penn Hills movie theater but we missed the bus so we hung out in East Liberty I think LOLOLOL WHEW (now I gotta do a quick FB stalk... I think he's married with kids now. His wife is pretty but he never did get his teeth fixed and 1 kid LOL) Back to the movie... Omar from the Wire was in it, and Andy Garcia... and a whole lot of big names. I liked it and I'm glad I got to see it on the big screen. and they had a movie after the movie. Oh you have to stay put until the very last credit is rolled! There was a whole dance scene with Christ and the police/army which was hilarious. OH they got slimed a lot. That was little gross so every ghost had the ability to slime you. YUCK!!
So I had wrote 2 more movies and that shit didn't save... so here you go
I am procrastinating like a real G right now! I should be putting my business plan together but instead I am looking out the window at the kids leaving Woodlawn High School and the car which I'm sure is a ford but then he has rims! I had a chevette when I was in high school and NO RIMS LOL we actually rims weren't a thing back then. I am listening to a house mix by Ian Friday which is a mistake because I want to sing ad dance along and we all know I'm at the library. Now the reason I left the house today is because I know the bed would have held me hostage all day. As I watch these kids some look like they have on uniforms and some don't. I don't know what the rhyme or reason is behind any of it. I'm assuming school started this week but no one looks FRESH! no fresh hair cuts. no fresh outfits. Even the weaved up girls don't look fresh. no fresh braids. a few fresh book bags...
And I'm thinking back LAWD over 20 years ago, I guess my crew of friends we didn't really live near each other and therefore didn't take the same bus. at least I don't remember well except for the activities bus.
Maybe Woodlawn Library is not he place to be since its right next to Woodlawn High school and ALL of the children are here!!!
today...
I am looking at my bank account and I have had a great summer but now I need for money to be coming in and NOT out. But what's funny is I really don't have any frivolous expenses except for cable! my bills are super tight!! Meaning, I live within my means. I haven't bought anything from QVC nor HSN since May 31st so ALLA YOU who think I need an intervention can leave me the hell alone cause I haven't bought nothing. What I need to stop doing is eating out so much because that is eating away (ha I made a funny!!) at my account as well. But my justification is that if I bought the food I might have thrown it away and I hate wasting food. Ok so yeah maybe not really but that's my story!! And I do cook. I made spaghetti last night, cabbage and potatoes au gratin Monday night. The roommate is hella picky so she likes more processed food and thanksgiving food and no one cooks like that anymore. I mean I DO because I don't want her to starve; and my sister indulges her too. And by the time thanksgiving rolls around I'm gonna want lasagna! I actually do like to cook and here lately I've been craving my grandmother's fried chicken but I don't know what she put in it AND she had a copper bowl that she put it in which maybe had something to do with the taste, I just don't know. I've been trying to perfect my potato salad and it is getting there! But I really don't fry a lot of anything so that might be something that may just elude me.
HA... looking on my order history. The earrings I bought that are now broken were $37!! I thought I spent way more. AND THEY ARE ON CLEARANCE FOR $19... MUST. STAY. STRONG.... : O
Ok I just clicked off QVC. It mighta got dangerous!
Why are there 2 security guards at the library?!
I was going to do a review of all the movies I saw this summer... **SPOILERS**
Finding Dory - very cute movie. I'm not a big fan of sequels but I thought this was a cute. I read a few reviews and someone said the whole remembery thing got a little tired, but that is the whole reason Dory helped find Nemo! She was looking for her parents and then started helping Marlin and forgot she was looking for her own family. I cried... BIG SHOCKER! IT only got ridiculous how they kept jumping from different waters like OK really!?!! And I wasn't the onliest adult at the movie. I went at 10:30 in the morning and what I also didn't know was that the 1st show was 6 bucks!! That made my frugal heart so happy
Suicide Squad - I like the super hero movie genre and this was supposed to be the super villians movie, but I really left there like MEH! The premise was that a group of villians were gathered so that if anything major happened they could help correct it or something. BUT the Enchantress who then woke up her brother Incubus (who I had to goggle afterward) was creating an army of bad guys and then ultimately a machine that the villain bad guys were supposed to defeat. I was going to go into all the characters, but nah. They did a back story for each of the characters so you knew why they got to be the way they were EXCEPT Slipknot so I knew his ass was gonna be the first to die!! And he did. I didn't really know why Killer Croc was a mutant except that he JUST WAS. And they made sure to show Harley Quinn's nonass ass. Maybe flat asses get some men (and women I don't judge) off. It was good to see Jai Courtney who plays a big jerk in the Divergent series (oh wait only 2 cause Tris killed him in #2) be a non-jerk although at the end, why didn't he get to pick something he wanted for his cell? Killer Croc got BET (LMBAO) and Harley got an espresso maker... but he didn't get anything. I'm glad I hopped to this one after Dory because I would have been a little mad had I paid for it!
Ghostbusters - So I found a real life cheap movie theater, the ticket was $4.50!! And since I waited so long to see it I had to travel almost the entire 695 beltway (not really... it was just past White Marsh). There were about 3 older white couples and the ones directly in front of me were talking in regular voices even as the movie began. ME being me said pretty loudly ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! They heard me and got the message. IT was almost as if they were like well let's just go see it! Having had no prior knowledge of the Ghostbuster movies in the 80's.
