I sacrificed the roof of my mouth to Cap’n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch cereal two days ago and I’m still recovering. By far, it’s my favorite cereal, always has been, despite any repercussions.
I had a disagreement with a coworker who’s not a manager but in a project leadership position. She ended the phone call with, “I hope you appreciate the lecture I just gave you.” Since I’ve only known her for a little over a month, I couldn’t decide if:
A. She was serious with her intended and specific phrasing.
B. She didn’t intend for it to be condescending since English isn’t her first language and meant something nicer. From past communications, I’m still not sure of how well her grasp is of the English language. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s questionable.
C. Was trying to be funny.
D. Something else I’m missing entirely.
I enjoyed the second season of ‘Better Call Saul’. The season finale didn’t quite deliver for me, but I appreciate the entire scope of the show and season, not just one episode.
You may have noticed I’ve been using a thesaurus as of late. It’s not an attempt to make me appear smarter than I am. I’m just trying to have a bit of fun by throwing in some unwonted words.
Imma let you finish, but Crunchberries is the superior Cap'n Crunch product.
Better Call Saul – large parts of the finale felt a bit anticlimactic to me, too. But that last-minute reveal of what Chuck had done, combined with finding out from the producers in the aftershow that I had guessed correctly as to who was behind the note left for Mike, and I immediately got excited for season 3. This show definitely isn't Breaking Bad, and it never will be, but it has carved out its own niche, and it's really fantastic.
The strength of the Twilight Zone was that it was a show that it gave free reign to its writer(s) to create something that is thought provoking and powerful. Turning the show into a "choose your own adventure" game for TV sounds horrid. Think of the classic Twilight Zone episodes – would Eye of the Beholder have been improved if the viewers had been able to choose what the main character saw when her bandages were removed? Would Time Enough at Last been improved if viewers had been able to determine the fate of Burgess Meredith's eyeglasses? The Twilight Zone is famous for its "twist" endings that make the viewer think. What impact will it have if the "twist" is just another choice the viewer can make?
Sauce on Barbecue; Sure, you can put sauce on BBQ. And for some things, its almost mandatory (re: chopped beef sandwiches). BUT… sometimes you get a cut of BBQ, like a great brisket or spare rib, that is done so perfectly from the pit or smoker that you bite into and the thought of adding sauce to it makes you cry.
Please, if you must, keep the sauce on the side. And try the first bite of each meat dry. Then decide if it needs "rescuing" with sauce.
(Next thing you know, we will see an article in defense of beans in chili…)

I appreciate this new feature. Is not the illumination to new things and ideas the raison d' etre of this blog?

In Trump's defense (can't believe I'm typing that), I have also observed many members of law enforcement in action at 7/11.
