Yup, It’s #Monday Again. Let’s Do This Good People!

It’s the beginning of a weird week for many American’s. Thursday is Thanksgiving so it’s a national holiday in the middle of the week really screws up the rhythm of it all. We have to get past Monday first though. Let’s do this everyone!

Daily Prompt: Scorched

Everyone gets burned in their lives and its deep within but other times we are scorched and the burn becomes more visible, apparent by the look on someones face. Scorching means to burn superficially something as to discolor or damage it. That heat can transform something into a beautiful thing or ruin it forever. We all go through trials that can burn us deeply or show people we have been through the fire and we are better for it.

Upping My Twitter Presence

As I have taken a break from Facebook it’s important to up my game on Twitter. One thing I wanna do there is to engage my blog readers and other friends who are there to make them aware of my presence. Blogging and Tweeting seem to be good friends so I want to take advantage of that. Sometimes you need more than 140 characters to share whats on your mind. Granted the stream on Twitter is different from Facebook in that you see more users at one time on Facebook so you have to stand out among the crowd. So far though I haven’t seen as much inbound interaction on Twitter as of yet. You are welcome to follow me there as well as my other social outlets.

BTW my Facebook break is going well. Haven’t missed it much.

Status Update 

The weekend has begun. Thank goodness. Now it’s time to chill out a little. I hope you have a great one too.

Fantastic Beasts Is Simply Fantastic

I loved Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. Without giving anything away, no spoilers sweetie I thought the movie had some stunning visuals, amazing story telling and sets up a whole new wizarding world that takes place in the USA during the 1920’s. JK Rowling does it again in how she gets to expand the Harry Potter universe. You get to see perhaps how the magical community is more global and there is a common thread from the UK to the USA.

Eddie Redmayne leads an amazing cast that keeps you spell bound from start to finish. The characters are memorable and very likable.

The themes of the movie seem to reflect the times in which we live in America in that different people have to live underground because they fear for their way of life and culture. You must check it out when you can. Potterheads will not be disappointed.
