Wait until you start coming up on 40. That's when the real panic will kick in.

So I think the Hate U Give is the best movie of 2018

Why must I take the same exact 20 online trainings over FERPA, Title IX, Ethics, Hazard Communication, Embargo Training, Information Security, Creating a Discrimination Free Workplace, Clery Act, University Orientation, Reporting Fraud, and so forth every year?

 

Apparently clicking through online slides and being forced to answer 12 5 question tests per training with a perfect score will make me a good university employee?  I'm pretty sure the employee who hung the noose in another faculty's office took the discrimination free workplace training every year too, and that didn't erase his racism.

 

Forgive the rant, but I know I'm not allowed to write my political opinions on University parchment, these trainings are a waste of my valuable human capital that I could be using making memes.

It's so strange that Dark Phoenix is the only upcoming J-Law project.

she's done. maybe she can be on the next season of american horror story or something, i dunno.

 

be that as it may, she likely got voted in as winner of People's Choice Awards - Best Drama Actress of 2018 - Red Sparrow.  

also, her role in Dark Phoenix will likely get voted in too all the way to the finish line whenever the movie comes out.

Halloween is decent but basically the most boring revival of the series they could've done. There's not an original bone in its body despite some good direction and cinematography. Carpenter's score was the best part.

Derek Barnett, DE Eagles, reportedly out for remainder of the season due to shoulder injury  

It is not their year right now...it makes me appreciate how magical last year really was...you just felt like they were gonna keep winning no matter who went down and who had to fill in.  I'm not really feeling that now.  I'm just hoping they get to 4-4 at the bye and try to get someone healthy for the back half.  I mean, we are only playoff bound if we can run the NFC East, and that's not gonna be that easy with Washington now in possession of a non-choking QB...

I forgot that the latest sequel came out just last year. You could've told me it came out five years ago and I would've believed you.

That was the first time in the series I was like, yeah I'm good if I don't see another one of these.

Too bad it now appears we'll never get to see what Davy Jones had planned as his revenge. Then again, bringing him back from the dead only came across as a ploy to make audiences nostalgic for that time when they were actually crazy about the franchise.

Last year I practically dragged my Dad to see Wonder Woman because I was so tired and uninterested in Pirates 5, even though he was super excited for it. Thankfully my Dad loved Wonder Woman, so both parties were happy.

 

My dad later saw Pirates 5 on Netflix. He told me it was good, but he also likes Suicide Squad, so...
