People made fun of me for years for still getting DVDs from Netflix. But I didn't care. I loved getting movies in the mail. My ode to old-school media and the public libraries who still offer it here: youtu.be/QOyeixM2wKU

The movies I saw in April were full of violence, but they also included a pleasant surprise: The first American remake of a foreign film that I enjoyed more than the original! thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/05/movies…

"Dang you, deer!" Today's #flowerreport is all about a hungry pregnant deer and some lovely purple flowers that used to be on my porch...

My favorite Gwyneth Paltrow performance: "Marty Supreme." A burger without the blue cheese & bacon: "How to Make a Killing." The sequel I didn't know I needed: "Ready or Not 2" thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/04/movies…
