A Wrinkle in Time no spoilers




Okay. I like a great many movies, but sci-fi is hit or miss. This seemed to be closer to fantasy, probably. I didn't like this one.

However, Mindy Kaling looked very pretty and everyone's makeup looked awesome.

As my sister told me, "I couldn't even follow the trailer." I didn't see the trailer because, really, do I need more info besides Oprah and Mindy? But, yeah, no.

If you liked the book, you may not like the movie because I don't know how closely aligned they are. I do know without any background info I wanted to leave the theater midway, through. I hate to say anything bad about anything, really, especially friggin' Oprah, but I cannot lie.

Did you guys see it? What did you think?

Even I wasn't pessimistic enough to believe Trump would win...

I know I'm always like wah, wah, wah, me, me, me, but I am a Black woman in this country so I do have other concerns. So, I knew America was racist as fuck even during these "post-racial" times, but I knew not how low these muthafuckas would go. I thought to myself, ok, surely, no one is dumb enough to choose the unqualified, unprepared, psychopath to run the nation. Surely. I was a fool to think that. Just like I thought SURELY after all this footage of cops shooting and a lot of times killing unarmed citizens (not always even suspects), then they would either have to stop doing it or have a damn good reason. My faith in humanity extended too far. When they said a man associated with BLM was the reason those cops were targeted and shot was found, but they sent a robot with a bomb to kill him I had more than a hunch. That didn't even make sense. Even if I were to believe that since when is that how we handle criminals when the ones who shot up schools and churche...

Day 13 - Pet peeve: niceties

I hate niceties. Absolutely. As a child, this would get me in more trouble than anything else. As talkative and ruminative (that is now a word, per my say so) as I am, I hate extraneous shit. Extraneous is relative, though. Anyway, not saying good morning, in the fucking morning, was always met with "did I sleep with you last night?" Even now, I don't know what the fuck that means. I would prefer someone who I slept with to speak to me before anyone else. That's for certain. Anyway, I don't like mornings and I don't like talking in the morning so good morning is a double whammy. I guess the biggest issue I have is that people seem to prefer the show of a thing as opposed to the thing. That bothers me more than niceties. Like the time the POTUS was in Saudi Arabia or wherever and people were up in arms that he wore linen pants to a funeral. It's a million got damn degrees and, because of the show people require, dressing for the weather is seen as disrespe...

Well, this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down

Well, this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down… Once upon a time, I was a bigger fool than I am now. I was young, slim, and hanging out with various dudes. Except one of the guys was my ex-boyfriend. My ABUSIVE, ex-boyfriend. Why was I hanging with him, one might ask? I’m an idiot. Also, see abandonment and attachment issues. Anyway, so one of the guys we’ll call Heavy Chevy, the second guy, Donell Jones, and my ex, we’ll just call him Ex. Okay, what happened is this: I was losing interest in Donell Jones. If I ever had been interested. I find it’s difficult for me to figure out if I actually like someone because of all my insecurities and issues. Anyway, I was losing interest, but I had promised Donell Jones that we could have the movie night he had been asking for, for weeks. Fine. I finally get to my house and I’m antsy the whole time. Why antsy? Because I know Ex will be stopping by in approximately 2 hours as he has done for a while now. I’m j...
