White Christmas – A Holiday Classic

Filled with awesome music, great acting and real dancing this movie is a classic during the holidays. I am into all the sentimental schmaltz during this time of year and this movie does it for me. Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen are simply divine and give us some of the greatest song and dance numbers in cinema history.

If they were to do a “updated” version I could see Harry Connick, Jr., Neil Patrick Harris, Lea Michelle and Juliane Hough cast to take on those iconic roles of Wallace and Davis and The Haynes Sisters.

Mixed Bag Weather

Good news It’s not raining. Sorta bad news rain is in the forecast. A mixed bag of weather news. It’s 68 degrees this morning and that’s not it’s supposed to be in December. I’m ready for a proper winter.

Cheese triggers same part of brain as hard drugs, study finds | Food & Drink | Extras | The Independent

Cheese contains a chemical found in addictive drugs, scientists have found. The team behind the study set out to pin-point why certain foods are more addictive than others. Using the Yale Food Addiction Scale, designed to measure a person’s dependence on, scientists found that cheese is particularly potent because it contains casein.  The substance, which is present in all dairy products, can trigger the brain’s opioid receptors which are linked to addiction.

My New Dick Tracy Watch From Samsung

dick_tracy_large-560x315For Christmas, Santa Laura got me a Samsung Gear watch that pairs with my Galaxy S5 phone. It has a few useful apps and extends the functions of my phone to my wrist. I am calling it my “Dick Tracy” watch after the comic strip of the same name where the lead character used a really cool watch to communicate. I can take pictures, answer calls, get notifications, use Evernote, Feedly, listen to music and other cool things. I really like it. So I would like to thank Santa Laura for putting it under the tree for me. 20151226_171631

Happy Christmas Good People

I hope each of you have had a great Christmas day. To those who don’t celebrate I hope you enjoyed your day doing whatever was on your heat.

For me it’s been a time of celebrating with family and enjoying being together. We went to my parents house to celebrate the day by having breakfast, opening gifts and having Christmas dinner. It has been very rainy here which has made things very interesting. I am kind of tired of the weather lately. I am ready for some dry days where you can get out and about.

My friends, thank you for sharing my day and for your feedback. It’s days like this where blogging is quite awesome.
