So, the football’s over now, right?

For the rest of eternity, this week will be known as my Red Dawn week.

And, oh my God, what a week it was!  It’s not just that I came down with a pretty bad cold on Thursday and I’ve spent the past 4 days on curled up on my couch, feeling bitchy and miserable.  It’s not just that the Oscar noms were kinda disappointing.  It’s also that the news from the rest of the world was so annoying as well.  Between the kickoff of the 2020 Presidential campaign, the now temporarily resolved government shutdown and the media screwing up the Covington Catholic story, is it any wonder that I watched the original Red Dawn not once but twice this weekend?

Seriously, I don’t even like violence but, after a week like this one, there’s something cathartic about watching people blow stuff up.

Stay strong, everyone!

There’s a freaking eclipse going on right now, y’all!

While the rest of America is debating football and Alexandre Rothier is making fun of us for not being soccer fans, Erin and I have been shivering out in the backyard and watching as the moon slowly disappears.  It’s like 36 degrees out there and neither one of was exactly dressed warmly but hey, it’s the first eclipse of the year!  It’s called a Bloodmoon, which I assume has something to do with Twilight.

For me, this week was all about getting caught up with the films of 2018.  For once, I actually managed to accomplish what I wanted to do.  I watched a lot of movies.  I posted my picks for the best and the worst of the year.  Now that I’m finished with 2018, I can actually focus on 2019.  For me, it was a good week and it just seem fitting to end it with an eclipse!

This upcoming week should be wild!  Oscar nominations of Tuesday.  Celebrity Big Brother starts on Monday.  Sundance starts on the 24th.  But, before we get started with all of that, here’s what I did last week:

I was on vacation last week so I missed most of the controversy over Kevin Hart being the host of the Oscars for 24 hours.  My personal opinion — and this is one that I’ve had for a while — is that the Oscars don’t need a host.  The host is usually dead weight and usually spends too much time bragging about the same industry that refused to hold Harvey Weinstein accountable until it absolutely had no other choice but to do so.  Instead of a host, just have someone announce each presenter’s name and what award they’re going to present.

Anyway, here’s my week in review.
