A few days ago I took an online survey and made a little extra money. This particular survey was all about pizza brands, in particular Pizza Hut. I figured that this would be a good survey for me to take, being the foodie (and pizza lover) that I am; the organization that made this survey obviously could have used my help. While I was in the middle of taking the survey, one question in particular stood out. "Do you take pride in eating at or ordering from Pizza Hut?" I rolled my eyes when I read that question. Now, there wasn't a comments section for that question, but instead there was a yes or no scale. But if there was a comments section, my answer would have been along the lines of... "No, I do not take pride in eating at or ordering from Pizza Hut. I greatly  enjoy  Pizza Hut, and will more than likely continue to eat their food and order from them in the future, but I do not take pride  in ordering from a particular pizza chain.

I've been stuck inside my current place of residence for four days in a row now! I am currently living in the state of Washington in a lovely town called Bellevue, which is now completely covered in snow. Since I've been stuck inside I have tried to keep busy by looking for new jobs and places to live (someplace warm!), writing, watching Netflix and youtube, getting creative with the food in the kitchen, and setting up a deviantart account for my artwork ( https://www.deviantart.com/justincecil , go check it out!). While I have been keeping busy, I really want to be able to get out of the house! Anyway, in addition to going stir crazy, I am able to get a lot of thinking done while I am stuck inside with the snow. And I remembered several years ago, having a conversation about "Saturday Night Live" with a friend of mine. I remember talking about the sketches that we liked, and he said that he didn't like the political sketches they were doing (this was when Obam...

When I was in college I saw a little movie called "Eraserhead," which is the directorial debut of David Lynch. David Lynch is known for movies that are often regarded as strange by other people, and "Eraserhead" honestly makes the rest of his filmography seem normal by comparison. I doubted that I would ever come across a film that was stranger. But recently I came across a little gem directed by Tyler Perry called "Acrimony." I rented it, and yes, this may be stranger and more memorable than anything David Lynch, or any other filmmaker whose work I've witnessed, has directed. This movie left me speechless! In order to fully explain why this movie was memorable, I'm probably going to have to give a recap of the entire plot. So yes, spoilers ahead. This film begins with our main character, Melinda (played by Taraji P. Henson, whom I must say did an excellent job, at least given the material she had) being ordered by a judge to stop ha...
