Best lines (which is all of them) from that great 90s sitcom
This movie reminds me of Goodfellas, but with women in the lead and no mafia. Also, it doesn’t end in regret, but it ends with wondering if all is still good in the world. Was it all worth it?

Ready Or Not?
Movies in theatres are in decline. It’s missing the mid-level movies. It’s nothing but block busters. There’s really nothing showing. Ready Or Not? was a small summer movie. It would’ve been a mid-level movie, but compared to all the rest released this summer, it would’ve fit that bill years ago.
The craziest part of this movie is that it was a deal with the devil. The actual devil! I wasn’t expecting that.
Any how watch it when it comes on cable.

And here I was just getting used to 4th Gen.
Sony introduces the sakamichi trainees that may be assigned to my favorite, Nogizaka46. Or they may go to the other groups: Keyakizaka46 or Hinatazaka46. Wherever they go, I think it is too early…
I bought a rack of ribs the other day during my weekly grocery shopping. I’ve never cooked ribs. I’ve eaten them, but never cooked. You see ribs seem to be best cooked in a smoker or on the grille. Yet, I’ve eaten them from the oven. My mom does it. My uncle does it. I guess I’ll have to do it.
I halved the rack last night. If I’m going to mess this up, I’ll at least have the other have to try. One half went into the freezer. The other I seasoned with salt, freshly ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. I placed this half into the fridge waiting for today to cook.
I then busily went about looking at youtube videos and DuckDuckGo search results for how to cook ribs in the oven. Most of the recipes were for barbecue style with a wet sauce. I wanted it dry. Most of the recipes had the rack cooking for 3 to 4 hours. I decided to try half that because it was half a rack. Most recipes cooked the ribs wrapped in aluminum foil. I left it open to the oven.
So how’d I do it? Here’s how…
Oven preheated to 350F. Pulled the half rack out of the fridge about 30 minutes before it went in. When it did, I let it cook for about an hour. Checked on it, put in under some aluminum foil, then left it in for another 25 minutes. Then I went about broiling it. Five minutes on one side at high — this is the side with the meat. Three minutes on low on the side with the bones. I took it out and covered it again with the aluminum foil for another 5 minutes. I think it was done. Cut it up and plated it.
It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t as juicy and succulent. It was a bit dry, and the thicker parts were somewhat tough. The cartilage was tough to eat. I ate this half rack wishing it was better. I guess I know where to start making it better. First, read this blog post to see where I went wrong. Next, the half rack sitting in the freezer…
I just can’t believe she’s leaving us. But while we still have some time together, we can still enjoy Nishino Nanase.
「ふめつのこころ」translates to “undying love.” That’s how her fans feel about her. Count me as one.
It’s raining, and it’s cold. The boys of summer should be shutting down.
But of course I am talking the Orioles. They’ve been shut down since the start of the season. Did they even show up?
The rain kept me from catching the last game of my season ticket package. I wanted to see Adam Jones patrol the outfield one last time. Sadly, I don’t want to sit in the rain, so I cancelled before I even went. Thank the lord that the rain keeps going and the game was postponed.
This was the worst team ever. They were hard to watch. Then I didn’t want to watch. The entire city of Baltimore too didn’t want to watch. We stayed away in droves. They kept losing in droves. They also drove everyone insane with the losses.
I witnessed several seasons of bad Orioles baseball before Buck Showalter showed up. But they were still easy to watch and root for. This version you can’t want to watch. It’s awful. Now I know the difference between .333 and .400. It’s really painful.
I wish for a better season next year. Perhaps my money won’t be wasted.
I may also be an old person, not quite as ancient as those in the ad, but old none the less. Yet I am going to vote. For that is how you show your love for your country. Vote.
Vote early. Vote often!
I’ve been mopey all weekend, but have finally gotten over Nishino’s graduation announcement. How’d I do it? More Nogizaka! Here’s Goosehouse with their cover of the 20th single “Synchronicity.” Not bad, but they’ve done better.
Sometimes the twist can be dumb. This is one of them. Also, there is a red herring twist before the twist. The red herring twist made me hate the movie if that was the real twist. But then the real twist happened and I still didn’t like the film. Of course it will get the normal…

I write this in the dark of the Sunday night. I should’ve written this in the bright day light to avoid thinking about that demon dressed as a nun. But then I think about it and wonder how much it looked like Maryln Manson and now it doesn’t even scare me. Much.
This film was better than the second Annabelle, but no where in league with its forbearers, The Conjuring series. It’s got some creeps, but there was a lot of fun and funniness going on. Like it knew that it was ridiculous.
I will watch this when it’s on TBS, but I will only do so in the bright light of day.
