Back to the grind..

The first Monday of the new year.. The mountain seems excessive to try to climb and in reality it is, that is why you don't look at the mountain, you look at the step in front of you.. It is amazing how quickly time flies.. I November I went down to get the Christmas tree and the decorations and knew exactly where everything was because it felt like two weeks ago that I had just put everything away..

The recent "what I have watched list" I passed on the past couple weeks because it was mostly Christmas hoggie..  hodge podge .. But there was one really good holiday fare (not so much, but you get tired of the schlock that holiday movies deliver.. So here it goes.. Along about the 23rd or so, right about the time Christmas fare gets old, I watched this non traditional holiday movie..

Lock-Out.. And it wasn't and likely still isn't on Netflix but rather on Crackle.. Yes there are commercials there but.. You take the good with the bad.. This movie is a favorite, and so I took the commercials and everything was fine.. This is about a prison colony in lower earth orbit and they do different things to the prisoners..    Interesting movie...   By the way.. a love story.. eventually..

Jenny's Wedding... This is a nontraditional wedding.. With Katherine Heigl as the girl trying to tell her straight laced family that the guy she has been dating isn't a guy at all.. It's her roommate of the past five years, Kitty.. Kate is a cute gal, played by Alexis Bledel, and strangely enough this isn't shown as the lesbian side of things but rather the struggle of Heigl's character to try to come to terms with the fact that her parents won't accept her lifestyle.. Not at first.. And the struggle to accept that this is how she is and has always been.. Very interesting movie to say the least..

Jackie and Ryan, trust me, I wasn't trying to watch a bunch of Heigl movies, in fact I didn't know she was in this one.. Katherine Heigl is a really good actress, but has issues.. This movie is about a guy who rides the rails (train car hobo type of thing) and he stops in Ogden and plays on the corner, plays his guitar and sings, and makes friends around the country.. He has come to Ogden to visit a friend named Cowboy, finds he had just missed him and gets ready to leave when Katherine Heigl's character gets hit by a pickup truck.. One thing leads to another and... It's a love story.. Aren't they all??

TV shows I am watching include the great tv show Continuum, from Canada's Shaw studios where some of the better tv shows are made.. Continuum I had seen up until the last six shows which netflix added.. I watched the first episode of the last few shows and found myself to be lost completely and so I chose to rewatch the entire series again, just before Christmas..

Last year about the first of January I started to watch Friends from start to finish, watching one episode a day until it was over.. I figured it would take until the end of August or about football season starting.. I then two weeks later started watching two a day which meant the series would end in May, around Memorial weekend.. I'm watching it again but this time only one a day and not really every day..

Awe.. um.. Well that brings me to the latest show to start last night.. early this morning was this.. Nurse Jackie.. Really an interesting show, fairly dirty, dealing with the inner workings of  a hospital and the people who work there.. In one scene the head of nurses is telling Jackie to stop working 80 hour work weeks and then turns around and asks if she can cover the double shift this coming Saturday.. Yep, I bet this happens regularly.. Scary thought..

Another show that I will rerun shortly is.. Breaking Bad.. Yep, you just gotta see one of the greatest shows ever at least once a year.. Come on now..

I forgot to flush twice to get rid of the bad mojo of 2015.. Guess that's why this year already sucks and we are literally just hours into it..   Oh well..  What could possibly be worse this year.. Wait.. Don't tell me.. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW..

(P.S.  in the shit or get off the pot movement (a.k.a. what is going to happen with the phudge nuts blog)  I'm not sure what it is or related to  shitting or getting off the pot ...  But as far as the PNOP blog.. it's not going anywhere.. I mean it will continue through November, and on through until.. later.. So some entries have to be changed but will be moved to December, or even later.. Strange to be talking about December of this year since we just got out of that month.. But I am through to September now.. And feel good since I will wrap up the month of September by next Monday.. The gif files are pains in the ass to do (upload that is) but once they are all gone the PNOP blog will be done.. Finished.. And when will that be?? I currently have 981 gif files and if I were to never get another one I would have enough for 23 months of entries figuring the number I have been doing in the past three years not counting this past December when I did twelve every day for the entire month.. When I did December I think was in September... It couldn't have been done any earlier and I was well into February or March by the first part of October.. So two years from now.. Its a date.. )
