Usually, I avoid discussing current events on this site but this has been such a chaotic week that I simply have to start out by mentioning everything that has happened since last Sunday.  Bill Cosby was finally convicted.  Tom Brokaw was finally exposed.  Kanye West tweeted that he loved Donald Trump and the people on both sides of the political divide lost their damn minds.  (And that was all just on Thursday!)  Meanwhile, the Korean War might be over and, as usual, an excessive amount of coverage and discussion was devoted to the annual White House Correspondents Dinner.  (If they had Nerd Prom in the 18th Century, the French Revolution would have stated a decade early.)

As for me,  this week has been a mix of good and bad.  The good part definitely included being interviewed on Ferguson Ink.  It also included Wednesday, which was Administrative Professionals Day.  The bad part has pretty much been this weekend, largely due to a combination of asthma and allergies.  Again, I had to put off my plans to review 28 classic Italian horror films.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to get a start on that project next week.

Anyway, here’s what I did accomplish:

Have a great week!

Remember how last week I said I was going to get caught up with everything?  Well, it didn’t happen.  I got busy last week so I guess I’ll have to get caught up during this upcoming week.  Along with everything else, I’m also planning on watching and reviewing a lot of Italian thrillers and horror films so keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!

Have a great week, everyone!

Happy New Year!  Before Britain and the British colonies officially switched over to the Gregorian Calendar in 1752, March 25th was considered to be the first day of the new year!

For me, this past week has been one of adjustment.  Whenever I return from a vacation, I spend about a week alternatively feeling either extremely cranky or else like I’m in a walking dream.  It takes a while to get used to being back home.  All said, I spent most of this week wishing I was in Ardglass.

That said, I still manged to get caught up on all of the TV that I missed while I was gone and I was able to watch a few new movies.  Now, I just have to get caught up with reviewing everything!

Have a great week, everyone!

I’m home!  After spending 6 days in London, 2 days in Brighton, 2 days in Edinburgh, and 2 days in Ardglass, Jeff & I are back in the States.  I have to admit that, much like Dorothy, I’m in a bit of a dream state right now.  Going from snow and below freezing temperatures to 80-degree Texas weather in one day will do that to you, I suppose.

This upcoming week is going to be all about catching up.  Not only do I have several movies and books to review on both this site and Horror Critic but I also have a DVR full of programming to watch.  So please, no one spoil how The Bachelor ended…

(Just kidding, I already know.  Wow, Arie sure turned out to be a prick…)

Jeff & I are on holiday until March 19th so, ’til then, have a great week!

Yes, I did watch a lot of movies last week but I had a reason!  Starting Monday, Jeff & I are going to be on vacation for the next two weeks!  So, I wanted to make sure that I watched and wrote up reviews of a lot of films so that I could schedule them to publish while I’m gone.

(Admittedly, there were a few times last week when I found myself watching two or more movies at the same time.  Fortunately, I’m the Queen of Multi-tasking.)

My favorite picture of Audrey Hepburn. This was taken after she won the Oscar for Roman Holiday!

As I sit here writing this, it has finally stopped raining!  Every other day this week, it rained.  By the end of Thursday night, my backyard literally looked like a swamp.  Usually, when the weather gets weird in Texas, it leads to me getting a lot written but that didn’t happen this week.  I was distracted by the combination of the Olympics and Celebrity Big Brother.  Fortunately, both of those are now over.
