Spenser Confidential

Movie Typical Mark Wahlberg movie. He's all heroic and the only one who can save the world. I did like the angle on this one but it wasn't that great of a movie. Post Malone was my favorite part and I barely know who that is. Mark and Alan Arkin are the only well known people in the whole show. Iliza Shlesinger is a funny comedian but I didn't really know who she was... I want to be able to talk more about this show but there really isn't a lot to talk about... Mark plays a hero that then pisses everyone in the movie off because he's the only one in the world that has any sort of moral compass. There are a lot of weird action moments and some weird comedy moments. It's very typical Mark Wahlberg. Between Marky Mark and Dwayne the Rock Johnson, I don't know who else makes any movies. I'm very sick of them and they are a lot of the problem with why nobody goes to the movies anymore. Anyway if you like Mark Wahlberg and weird action movies than this is

Back to my divorce...

So on Sunday after I told my parents that I was moving home with them, we went home to watch TV and actually cuddled on the couch. Weirdest breakup ever! Then on Monday our real new life started. Husband went to work like usual and I went and took a barre class. I had my whole day planned. I was going to go to barre, go to my friend Alyson's house, and watch Love is Blind with any other free time I had until boxing that night. Husband was not part of this plan. I wanted to relax on my last day in my house and him being there was not part of the plan. We ended up fighting and to relax I went to a metaphysical store where I got my tarot cards read. It was perfect for the time. It was all about female energy and independence. Exactly what I needed to hear. It was the kind of retail therapy I needed. Tuesday and Wednesday I luckily had work to distract me but when I went home from work Husband just ignored me. For 2 days while we still lived together, still slept together, he ignored

What's going on?

I have been very distracted recently. It all started with a world wide pandemic. One of my co-workers is Chinese and she has been stressed for months. I honestly thought she was just being weird, but this month it officially entered my life. Also my wedding anniversary is March 16. So the first weekend in March we decided to go down town Salt Lake, get a hotel room and try to really experience our town. So I made reservations for dinner and planned out what to do the rest of the day. I'll go into all of that but first I'll say that I made a later reservation in case my husband worked late. He didn't so we walked down early to dinner and even walked around the block a few times. On one of these trips around the block my husband said it. He said, "well I think we both know something needs to change." To which I said, "in what way do you mean that?" and he replied "I think I need to be alone for a little while." Yep before our first fancy romantic

Bear Brook

Podcast This is a shorter podcast about the Allenstown murders. A barrel was found in the middle of the Bear Brook woods in the 80s. It turns out there was a decomposed full grown female body and child body in the barrel. They were clearly murdered as the cause of death was blunt trauma and then they were hidden. Upon further investigation they determined that they died at least 4 years before they were found. 15 years later there was another barrel found 500 yards away from the first one. Like stated previously, it was the woods so it wasn't easily visible. There were 2 other little girls in this barrel. One of the girls was found to be related to the other two however the third little girl was not related to the others. It was later determined that the unrelated one usually called the middle child was the daughter of the murderer. There was no way to identify them when they were found. In fact it wasn't until 2019 that they were identified. In 2017 they identified the kill

Trivia Night

Geeks Who Drink bar trivia The other night I went out to a bar and played trivia with some co-workers. I was a little worried that I wouldn't know anything or that everyone would be too drunk and annoying. But it was so much fun! I personally knew a lot more answers then I thought I would and my friend knew a lot of others. It was a "team building" thing with some of the support staff at work. For A week (my work week) We had Andrew the lead, work flows Tom and Veronica, and me the trainer. We all made a great team although I don't know if Andrew and Veronica answered more than 3 questions together... Andrew played scribe a lot and they were both fun to have around. I knew Tom would be good at it, he's one of those people who just learn things. I really knew more answers then I thought though. We did really good. I'm not one to hang out with people, that's why I find a clique and hang out with them until they leave me. I was strangely nervous to go to

Interview with a Vampire

Book I started out really strong with this book. The relationship between Louis and Lestat was confusing but interesting. They were like yin and yang but it made sense. But the story just kept going and going. I don't have an issue with the story but I don't like the way the book was written... Ann Rice didn't write with chapters? So it was really hard to read. I can't just sit and read 500 pages at a time. I don't have that kind of motivation or time. So I turned to just reading at night which usually means a couple of pages at a time. It's taking me 2 months to read. However I did finish it and the ending was really worth it! I do plan to read the next book because it's about Lestat and that seems very interesting. So in 6 months expect to read about that... But this is about this book. I don't like the characters but that made it interesting in another way. Louis is obviously the hero but he's weird and not personable in my opinion. Lestat and
