MG's Haunted Library

Dear Visitor, I hope you all had a fabulous Halloween! Mine was more laid back and I had to throw a last minute costume together, but I enjoyed myself! Anyway, I wanted to take a step back and talk about something else. I mentioned before that I'm a grad student getting my Masters in Social Work. It's a lot of hard work, but I love the challenge. I especially love my internship. However, not everyone is as enthusiastic about school as I am. I wanted to talk about that one Whiny Chick that is in every class. You know the one. The one where everything is so hard, nothing is ever fair, and they feel "attacked" when you tell them to suck it up. So I have this classmate who actually has the balls to ask if the final exam is mandatory. I've noticed that she always asks if things are mandatory. For example, we have labs that we have to complete. It's written in the syllabus AND our professor actually told us the first day of class that ...

Dear Visitor, I finally got the chance to watch WONDER WOMAN with my family and, I must say, DC finally got it right with this one. I think it had the right balance of comedy, action, and even a hint of romance. What I love most about Diana was how she looked at the world with such wonder. It was like watching a sheltered girl experience the real world for the first time. She found a number of beautiful things about humanity but she also had the face its harsh realities and grow up fast. Leaving home for the first time will do that to you. But despite experiencing heartbreak and rage, she chose not to fall into despair and hate. She chose to be above it and turned to hope and love. That, to me, was BEAUTIFUL! But what I appreciate most was that this wasn't the uber feminist war cry that I was afraid it would be. A while back a watched the 2009 cartoon movie WONDER WOMAN with Nathan Fillion and Keri Russell as Steve Trevor and Diana. There were plenty of scenes where Di...

Dear Visitor, How about THE MIST? I have been excited for this show for a while! Although, I was a little underwhelmed. Right out the gate they pile on a ton of Social Justice issues. I'm all for using entertainment to discussing real issues, but it was all on the nose. There was rape, slut shaming, homophobia, racism, comments on "toxic masculinity", and evil white cops. I think they could've used the rest of the season to bring up all these issues. You know, spread out the issues to push the story along. People are going to be confined to small spaces; claustrophobia and paranoia are bound to set in. I'm really worried that this show is going to be constant virtue signaling and so far other commenters are saying the same thing. I did enjoy how scary The Mist seemed. It was horrifying to see Brian's dog get his head ripped off. I hate seeing animals get hurt, even if it's fake. There was also this uptight bitch that got her jaw ripp...
