So, we went to see Star Wars The Force Awakens finally.  We'd been waiting for the crowds to thin out a little.  It was a good movie and I enjoyed it, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed.  I guess I expected more based on all the hype and money it's made.

( Putting my opinion under a cut because of spoilers )

I'm just not feeling it this season.  Most of the characters don't interest me (exception being the deputy who appears to be a human torch).  I'm not seeing any chemistry between the characters.  There doesn't appear to be any explanation for the disappearance of Derek, Argent, Isaac, Scott's dad, or Danny.  I'm kinda bummed about the whole thing.  Meh

So, in between house chores today, I've been watching some horror movies on one of the cable channels.  Below are four things I learned today:

1.  If you're out on the lake with some young people, and one of those individuals is of Native American descent and telling you he feels bad mojo about the water, don't decide to go swimming anyway.  Instead, start rowing your a$$ off for shore as quickly as possible.  After all, he has hundreds of years of ancestral spirits on his side, so he probably knows what he's talking about.

2.  If you're camping in the woods with some young people, and you stumble on a weird-as-hell mountain man who tells you to leave cause there's 'monsters in these here parts', then pack up your crap as fast as possible and drive back to town.  After all, he's lived there a long time and most likely seen it all.  Besides, there's probably a nice hotel in town that serves free breakfast along with free wifi and cable tv.

3.  When tagging along with a group of young people to an old three story dilapidated house, if you hear a disembodied whisper tell you to GET OUT, then by all means turn around and get the hell out!  Obviously, the house doesn't want you there and is politely warning you that bad things will happen if you stay.

4.  If you go into space, and one of your crew members gets attacked by a creature that latches onto his face to deposit an alien egg, and the cat that you brought with you becomes inexplicably hostile towards this crew member, then for the love of all that's sacred in your world put him in a reinforced isolation chamber until all danger has passed.  Preferably one that has a direct disposal door into space.  After all, your cat is sensing the danger long before you will.

I'm totally enjoying the new fall comedy Selfie.  It is super cute and fun :) 

I just have to laugh over all the coverage and hype the news outlets are giving to the new Apple watch.  They give the impression that nothing like it has ever been invented before.  And all the oohs and aahs! 

But, two of my coworkers have had the Galaxy Gear for months now (one has a Gear Fit), and it does almost all the same stuff, and didn't cost as much as this iWatch is going to.

*shakes head at the silly*

Every welcome center I've visited when entering the state of Mississippi have been so nice!  They are full of antiquities and knick knacks; forming inviting and warm scenes.  In some cases, artwork that is unique and detailed from local artists are on display.  There is also a lot of free literature available - places to go, things to do, festival schedules in various parts of the state, historical sites, historical information, recipes, and hotel discounts.  The employees on duty are always friendly and helpful.  And there's always free coffee readily available.
