While I posted one blog in the past few weeks, it’s been over a month since I shared my random thoughts. It’s time for a few more.
Have a great weekend and thank you for checking out what’s on my mind today.
XANADU — SEVEN WEEKS TOGETHER
I can’t believe I’ve been a “Dog Dad” going on two months now.
Pug Xanadu and I love each other dearly, but boy she can be a stubborn little (b**ch) puppy.
She’s learning right from wrong, but it seems like she intentionally chooses wrong and then stares at me with those innocent little brown eyes that say, “What are you going to do about it?”
We’ve had more wins than losses when it comes to potty training, but we’re definitely not there yet!
MORE MASS SHOOTING, NEXT….
Just two weeks after three nine-year-old students and three school officials were gunned down in Nashville, Tennessee, another mass shooting in Louisville, Kentucky, left five people murdered and nine other injured earlier this week.
Yet, many just turn a blind eye or “pray for <insert city>”, and then move on.
MEANWHILE, GUESS WHAT PEOPLE ARE STRESSED OVER?
Politicians and conservatives are losing their minds over nakedness and art in Florida…
drag queens in Florida and Tennessee…
books to ban across the country…
and a trans woman representing Bud Light beer.
People, get a f*cking clue and focus on things that we ‘re losing sleep and loved ones over!
“BEEF”
This ten-episode Netflix series about road rage and its aftermath is incredible.
It stars Oscar nominee Steven Yeun (“Minari” and “The Walking Dead”) and Emmy-nominated comedian and actress Ali Wong.
You might think that a series focusing on a road rage incident might wear thin by the end of ten episodes, but no way.
Once you get to know Danny and Amy and what’s going on in their lives, you realize it could happen to any of us. Well, they do carry it to extremes!
GRADE: A–
TWO MORE “BEEF” THOUGHTS
Joseph Lee, who plays Amy’s husband, George, is absolutely gorgeous!
And, Yeun sings in the series and it’s amazing (grace)!
TASTY TREATS
I can’t recall the last time I had a Dairy Queen Blizzard. However, there are three that I really want to try.
One is new — “Peanut Butter Puppy Chow”. It’s crispy puppy chow pieces, peanut butter topping, and chocolate chunks.
The other is the “Choco-Dipped Strawberry” — a combination of sweet strawberry topping and chocolate chunks.
And, the “Cotton Candy” one sounds fun, too.
“YOU” SEASON FOUR, PART TWO
Thank God, season four of the stalker series, “YOU” is over! This was easily my least favorite season. Luckily, there’s a chance for redemption because it was renewed for a fifth and final season!
When the first five episodes of this season dropped on Netflix February 9, 2023, I gave it a “B” and said, “Joe’s teaching at a university and gets involved with a crowd that I absolutely despise. Well, there’s one in the group that I like and she has an interesting candle collection! Season four is a cat and mouse game like the first three seasons, however Joe is the one that’s being creeped on this time!”
In Season 4, Part 2, it goes off the rail. As much as it was an interesting concept, it was VERY CONFUSING, especially episode 8. Afterwards, I had to read the summary to fill in the blanks. I thought I had fallen asleep and missed something!
While I’ve enjoyed the creepy (love story!) and Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), I’m glad season five will be the last.
Season three was my favorite and I gave it an “A-“. Season one would rank second and season two would be third!
This is the trailer for part one of season four. (I didn’t want to give anything away by showing the trailer for part two!)
SEASON FOUR, PART TWO — GRADE: C-
SEASON 4 — OVERALL GRADE: C
MY OSCAR PICKS
Since my last “Random Friday Thoughts” was before the Oscars, I did very well on my Oscar picks for the major awards.
I correctly picked Best Picture (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) and Best Director (The Daniels for “Everything Everywhere All at Once”).
Also, I was right on all four acting winners (Best Actress Michelle Yeoh for “Everything Everywhere All at Once”; Best Actor Brendan Fraser in “The Whale”; Best Supporting Actor Ke Huy Quan and Best Supporting Actress Jamie Lee Curtis, both for “Everything Everywhere All at Once”).
And, I won $50 for my picks.
THAT’S IT
With all the craziness in the world, make it the best in your little part of it!
