What a year for re-makes!  I watched "King Kong-Skull Island," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Beaches,"  just to name a few so far this year.

I enjoyed this version of King Kong. Other movies have been horrible. I am thinking to myself, 'Oh no!  It's true!  That have finally run out of movie ideas!' 

Laughing to myself. No, of course they haven't. It just seems to be a dry spell. As far as I am concerned, anyway.  I look forward to watching G Hawn in the movie "Snatched."  Not a fan of A Schumer, but that may be changing. I hope there is more W Sykes than just what the preview shows.

A shout out to "Fences" with Denzel and Viola.

Away from home

In Columbus at my annual work conference that I am expected to attend. Ugh. It is cold everywhere. Cold at the conference. I have my thermostat in my room turned up to 76ยบ F. It is cold outside and going to get colder. I was hit with a migraine the first day - Tuesday. We left very early in the morning so I had to get up a lot earlier than normal. Did not get much sleep the night before.  Spent the afternoon in bed. Some co-workers went out drinking.  Free - vendor pays. No thanks!  The two guys I came up with went to dinner and back to their room.

The conference is open and huge - so cold!

We return home tomorrow. I took Friday off from work. Who wants to go in on Friday the 13th, anyway? And, we have the 16th off - no make up day, even though the schools have had several snow days.

Warmer weather by Tuesday by any chance?  Yes, then right back down again.

I made it through half of the movie "Gone Girl".  I may try again when I get back home. I got bored with it. Bored.

Maybe I'll just stop movies and stick to the books. I want to read American Sniper, yet. I have SO many books (ebooks, I mean) I plan to read. I read them on the PC, now. I skip the Nook - just too much trouble to keep it charged. I have been through two chargers on it and still it won't keep a charge. Maybe a defect? I dunno.

I have television in my motel room. Does that sound weird? What I mean is - I don't have cable TV at home (I download or stream all my shows) so regular tv - especially commercials are weird to me, now. I think this January makes 3  years without cable TV at home.

And, I sure wish Reese's would quit making chocolate peanut butter eggs, hearts, trees, pumpkins or any other holiday we have cooked up. And that white chocolate....my weakness.
