Summer Series Watch – Stranger Things

I think I’m the kind of person who’s just over “regular” TV.  I’m sick of these fake reality shows.  Sorry, but no one’s life is that interesting for me to watch week after week after week.  And anyone who actually thinks these reality shows are real…well, I don’t have much to say to that either. That being said, I’ve rediscovered the joy of an actual story which doesn’t include someone getting told off or embarrassed to bring high ratings.  The good shows are not only on Netflix and Hulu, but some of the premium channels manage to bring some quality programming also. Today I’m chatting about Stranger Things on Netflix.  When I read about this series in a friend’s status on Facebook, I rushed to my Roku to watch it.  What a show!  Even the title font evokes the feeling of those old Stephen King paperbacks and old push button

Summer Series Watch – The Wire

Keepin the devil down in the hole. I decided to take the time this summer to watch The Wire. Yes. I’m way late. Too late to be really relevant, but I had read so much about how great the series was that I had to take the time to at least watch the first season. And of course, I have to give you my opinion about it, because that’s what the Internet is for…giving opinions. I’ve seen The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire and I’m currently watching Better Call Saul, Narcos (Netflix) and Stranger Things (Netflix). That’s my street cred for series. I watched a bit of Hell on Wheels, until it got kinda spotty and I watched the first season of The Walking Dead before I decided the graphic novel was better. Mad Men and Dexter never really appealed to me. But back to The Wire. The first season

Let PostCron Do the Heavy Lifting

As an author, I’m always looking for ways to make promotion and connecting with people online easier. Even with cell phones, tablets and the like, it’s impossible to keep up with everything, every minute of the day. I’ve dabbled in other online methods of scheduled posting, but when I helped host a Facebook event in October of 2015, I turned to PostCron. PostCron is a web application which empowers users to schedule links, image and text posts ahead of time. Even in its free configuration, PostCron is a powerful tool. I was able to create images and posts, and schedule them for the three-day Facebook event. It was as if I was never away from the computer! Scheduling information about guests, contests, and links to visit was automated with ease through PostCron, and I was able to participate in the ongoing event without constantly checking the clock to see when

Horror Movie Review: Final Girl

Title: Final Girl Genre: Horror/Thriller Director: Tyler Shields IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2124787/ HERE MAY BE SPOILERS Portions of the movie may or may not be revealed.   Synopsis: A man teaches a young woman how to become a complete weapon. Later she is approached by a group of sadistic teens who kill blonde women for unknown reasons. The hunting season begins.   For goodness sake. I knew it was all going wrong when Wes Bentley appeared on my iPad screen.  That deadpan expression and that draggy way of talking he has.  So, I was eye rolling within the first few minutes of the movie. Then the training sequences began and I became intrigue.  Was she going to be a spy?  Was she going to hunt serial killers? This movie was highly stylized and seemed to take on the characteristics of a play being presented on film, much like Glengary Glen Ross or Oleanna.

Downtime – Gardening

This is the time of year I wander into the garage and find my dusty old gardening gloves.  Once I find them, I immediately throw them away and rush out to Home Depot to buy new ones.  From there, I examine the tools that have endured the winter weather and figure out which ones to keep and which to replace.  Then, it’s checking for the last frost date and making the rounds of the nurseries to see who has the best seedlings at the best price. Gardening is my summer stress reliever.  It’s a way for me to get out into the sun to get that essential Vitamin D, as well as get a good workout pulling weeds, digging holes and all around garden care.  Plus, I get the added bonus of fresh tomatoes, zucchini, peppers and herbs. The nature of gardening is that it has the ability to restore
