Variety put out a list of upcoming films to look forward to. I sifted through that list and here are the ones I believe are worth watching. In no particular order… SCREAM. Wes Craven is dead. RIP Wes Craven. Now someone else is pulling the strings and has given us the latest film in theContinue reading “New Year! New Films!”

If this happened anywhere else, people would be vigilant. Masking up, carrying Lysol in backpacks, wiping down desks between classes. Nah, not here. This is certainly a state of individualism. Personal Responsibility, who cares about everyone else, blah blah sick and dying. If this were an experiment, I would be one of the people onContinue reading “Going Home and Returning to Covid in the Classroom”

My Mom has had a friend over for most of my stay. I don’t know anything about him except I think he only has one set of clothes because he wears the same thing all the time. As it turns out, he is my Mom’s beau’s friend. I asked her if he has a homeContinue reading “Covid on the Couch?”

Passed all my classes so now I can enjoy my time in Portland more. I have had my fill of Mexican food but I know I won’t find anything decent is South Dakota so I should continue eating lengua. I miss my car. I am smart to not drive it out here (and die inContinue reading “1 Semester down, 5 to go”

This is no ordinary Corona and salad. It is being enjoyed in a hotel room in Chicago. First beer since finishing my law school exams. I earned it.

I solved the world’s plastic pollution problem. I said to a friend or college classmate, that if drug dealers/users would only recycle those little plastic baggies after using them then that right there would solve plastic in the ocean. Ta-da!

I don’t know what it is to be hit with a train but I imagine it is something like how I was felt walking out of the Torts final.

Three exams. Three hours each. Scared? Yes ma’am. My grade comes down to these tests. I am motivated when I am backed into a corner. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. My least-favorite holiday because I feel under pressure to gather together with people when I would prefer to be studying. I think I am just going toContinue reading “Finals Week of 1st semester as a 1L”

I was so looking forward to this movie back in 2020. Then freakin’ Covid happened so it got postponed. Then it got postponed again. I saw it tonight with the Thursday crowd. I really enjoyed it. Picks up right where it left off. Gives some backstory on what happened that night in ’78. The dialogueContinue reading “Halloween Kills (2021)”

I think I mention this little fact every time I meet someone new. When I am in Portland I remind people that I was born and raised there. I would hate to be confused with a transplant from California, big no-no. Now that I no longer live in Oregon I feel like I had anContinue reading “I am from Portland, OR”
