Roses are red, and many other colors but for the sake of the rhyme we'll go with it and violets are blue and will be dead long before the roses with the first frost. Or however, the saying goes. At our last house, my wife and I tried and failed to plant many things. The one item I was sure was gonna bite the dust and take the early earth nap, was roses. I had heard they are difficult to grow and only the masters can make them live long and prosper. I'm sure if you wanted to grow prize-winning roses, maybe, the masters would be a good way to go but just random roses, eh, how hard could it be?

Wow, the northern lights were spectacular, last night.

We’ve become so used to movies made by committee, with multiple writers and sometimes even multiple directors, that sometimes it seems as if the passion project is a lost art in Hollywood. Still, every few years one of the world’s esteemed directors manages to yank a beloved idea out of development hell and show off their virtuosic vision, as wild and unrestrained as it can be.

The following post contains spoilers for Agatha All Along Episode 5. It looks like all of our (and your) speculation was correct: the previously unnamed teen on Agatha All Along appears to be Wiccan — the older version of Wanda’s son from WandaVision and Marvel Comics, who eventually becomes a key member of the Young Avengers. But wasn’t he not real? Didn’t Wanda search the multiverse for him in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? What does this all mean for the future of Agatha and the MCU?

TINA, YOU FAT LARD, COME GET SOME DINNER. Back in 2004, no movie had a bigger hold on people my age than Napoleon Dynamite. I can STILL quote the most of the movie, and you can still catch me doing the butterfly hand motions to "The Rose" from time to time.

I'll admit it. My expectations when going to a fast food restaurant aren't as high as when I go to a sit-down restaurant. Should they be? The only pre-requisite I have when hitting the drive through is that they get my order right. As long as I get what I ordered, I doubt I'll hit up the internet and leave a scathing review if my fries are a little cold. But other fast food fans clearly have higher standards than me.

When I moved to Cedar Rapids the first time 20-some years ago, I visited Walmart 5 times in one day as I kept forgetting this or that, and as I entered for the last time that night I asked the greeter what time they closed. he casually said 'Christmas', smiled and kept greeting. I said 'Wait, what? Christmas' He said 'Yes, sir it's the only day we close.' This was something new, our Walmart right outside Washington DC closed at mightnight and reopened at 6 am, that's 6 hours I can't shop. You know that's exactly the time that you'll need that scrub brush or 10-quart mixer with a stand or 4K TV, I don't know what you need. Though I would highly recommend the clearance aisle always a good buy there.
