We had tacos for breakfast today - they were leftover from Thursday night, and we couldn't eat them yesterday because it's Lent. Now I'm dying for something sweet. I may just have some mint chocolate chip ice cream for breakfast dessert.
pegasus216 Yay on the bill paid off!
morgan What a horrible tragedy. I hope they caught the right person/people and justice is served.
My mud stompers just came inside and trekked mud every where. I can smell it.

I'm confused - Lent goes from Wednesday March 6th to Thursday April 18th - why couldn't you eat the tacos yesterday? (But then you had them today for breakfast?)
By the way, don't blame my cannabis oil for the confusion - I think I finally got the dose down right (they say to go 'low and slow')

neesy - Catholics don't eat meat on Fridays during Lent - we don't observe abstinence from meat every day during Lent, unless that's what you're giving up. I gave worrying. I'm doing a magnificent job of it!

Ah yes - I remember now! When we were growing up we never had meat on Fridays. I also remember going to the Holy Name Cathedral in Toronto on an empty stomach.
The smells of the incense, the incantations of the priest, the procession with the altar boys, tinkling bells etc. Plus it was all in Latin.
Wow - thanks for that flashback. It seems ages ago - um wait a minute - it WAS ages ago!
I mention the fact I had not eaten as I think it contributed to the whole mystical effect of it all

We went out for some chicken wings on Friday after the Pet Sematary movie. Not sure if I should tell where we went but I did take a picture of a giant mug of beer and a young lady wearing small shorts and a tight top just happened to walk by as I snapped it. Here is a hint:
It seems the uniform of tiny shorts with the tee has changed a bit - now the shorts are a tan colour, rather than orange.

neesy What did you think of the movie? I thought it was pretty good overall - there were only about 10 or maybe 12 people in the theatre - I would recommend it
(we went to the 4:20 show)

I keep wondering about the Zelda storyline in Pet Sematary. A lot of people love it, especially the original actor who portrayed her in the 1989 film (Andrew Hubatsek). I keep wondering if this subplot was really necessary. To me it just seemed like a distraction from the principal plot of the pet cemetery itself. I think the novel could've been essentially the same even without Zelda. I know that 99% of people will disagree with me, but whatever.
I had a teacher who told me she often skips entire chapters of books when she's reading. Maybe she would've skipped over the Zelda bits as well. Who knows

- Wow - I don't know if that would work for me (Maybe I should try it some time rather than just giving up on a book)

I often skim/skip parts or paragraphs of books when there are animals being hurt. My heart just can't take it.

I know that Rachel was very hurt about losing her sister Zelda, but it felt (to me) like it didn't really belong in the story. It could've been a novel in its own right. Maybe Stephen could've just spent one chapter or a part of a chapter on this subject. Maybe I need to re-read the novel. IDK. I lost a step-brother to HIV-related illness. I also lost a parent and all my grandparents. I know that grieving takes time, especially when you feel partially responsible for the loss of a loved one.
Peace out.

I watched it Saturday, it was better than I expected but still mediocre, 4.5-5/10, I’ll dig more in depth tomorrow probably. The theatre was mostly empty which was awesome, however in the middle of the movie (after Pascow and Rachel’s Zelda PTSD) a woman walked past me towards the exit with a young girl that looked around 6-7, who the hell brings a 7 year old girl to see “Pet Sematary: based on the novel by Stephen King”?

Did anyone see The Curse of La Llorona and was it any good? I might have to fit this one in next weekend since this weekend is full of Easter family events. I wish it was playing at more theaters and one that was actually near me. I saw the trailer twice and it looked really good.

It was released yesterday here I think it's worth a shot, i guess

My hospice nurse was here today. My blood pressure is really high. She wants me to take a pill for it, but the pill can cause my kidneys to swell, and be irritated. Stroke, or more kidney problems. Some choice I have.

I waited 3 hours at a clinic... again. Then I realized the value of time. I'm never going to waste it again. I'm not going to watch anymore sports because my teams never win anyway. I'm not going to theater anymore because we have cable and I don't like most of the new movies. I'm going to cut down the time I spend online. Time is precious.
