Mandy knows best

I kind of forgot about this movie after the noise of Scarlett's legal battle with Disney. See I'm on ScarJo's side… So I didn't want to watch unless Scarlett gets paid but I don’t like going to movie theaters but I always meant to. Then I failed and never did. So eventually I forgot about it all. However it's still a big movie so when people around me started talking about Shang-Chi I decided it was time to watch them both. I really appreciate the fact that Scarlett is over 10 years older than her "sister" who is 3 years younger in the movie… Also none of the people playing Russian spies are Russian… But I guess that's part of the spy aspect… Anyway, it was a weird movie. It was typical for Marvel these days as they have a lot of surface level humor and action but the story line has many plot-holes. See it's not the writer's or producers fault. The truth is that comic books have been around for a long time and a lot of these storylines go on f

You know those phases in life where you aren't necessarily failing but still kind of feel like you're flailing? I guess I just don't think I'm succeeding. But I also accept that I am not doing some basic things that I need to do to feel balance. For example, all summer I was journaling and pulling a tarot card every day.

It made me feel like I was really trying to understand myself and my life and the world around me. I'm not doing any of that anymore. I've even been in a kind of "the world is burning so who cares about anything" kind of mood lately. Which means that I am not doing anything that is actually helping, heck even masking my pain. It's a very frustrating feeling to know what to do to make your life better but to have no desire to do any of it. I know it's the anxiety mixed with the seasonal depression but I also f

This is another podcast story like Edith! and Wanted. But it's a drama I guess. It's definitely more serious. Sarah Wayne Callies of Walking Dead and Prison Break fame wrote, directed and stared in the story. But it also stars David Harbour and Jeffery Dean Morgan. David is on a roll, he's kind of in everything for the last few years. And JDM is a favorite character on everything he's been on (except Walking Dead in my opinion, I hated Neagan.) The story is about a massive earthquake and the aftermath. Sounds like there will be a second season too. It's also very short, I think 8 episode? Maybe even less. So this is a short post but just enough to tell you that you should listen to it?
