The movie "Snowpiercer 2013"

I watch movies online for free on Solarmovie.is.  They don't lag, I don't get any viruses from the site and they have a huge variety of old and new movies.  

  I'm a huge fan of post-apocalyptic and dystopian story lines.  A lot of people are these days.  My stepson tells me it’s something to do with popular video games.  I don't play those games, I don't really care, I just enjoy reading/watching them.  

"Spoiler Alert"  

Tonight I watched Snowpiercer.  It started out with a great post-apocalyptic beginning.  You have oppression, survival, the elite crowd, blah blah blah, lots of great conflict.  In the middle it started getting slow.  There was a portion where the oppressed people were fighting their way through a car of men with axes, swords, and night vision that was very unbelievable.  I just didn't buy it.  There was a school car that walked through that was full of children, a greenhouse car, a fish car that was basically a huge aquarium, a party car full of people celebrating New Year’s Eve, 2 spa cars.  Overall you didn't see a whole lot of people in the elite upper class cars.  Seeing the different cars was very interesting but I would have liked to see more.  This was a long ass train, I know they were there.  The whole engine part was ridiculous.  There's this big noble speech about the balance of things.  Children from the rear of the train are shown working in mechanics of this all powerful engine.  I won't tell you the ending because I don't want to ruin it for you, but it was not a satisfying ending at all.  It really didn't wrap up anything.  Overall I don't see how it made it in the list of top 100 movies of 2013 unless 2013 sucked for movies.  I really didn't pay too much attention to what was produced in 2013 so I don't know what kind of year it was for movies.

What a mess

So I'm sitting at my desk checking my Facebook and distractions before I do any actual work and I hear a crash.  My husband has an area behind the house he works at.  Since he bought the 4x4 he's had a need for more space, but not the time to add onto the space with an actual roof and walls so he used some old wood beams and two tarps to "wrap" some space up to play in.  
 Well, 48 hours ago we had an ice storm.  He's out in Seattle on business and didn't know about it.  I didn't even think about how heavy the ice might get.  It’s not like we ever get enough ice or snow to worry about structures collapsing.  This is what I found when I walked outside.  The tarp has holes in several places and is ruined.  Fortunately, extra pieces of woods off the pallets he uses to make furniture with, and a weatherproof flood light were the only things under the tarps.  He also flies in tonight so he can deal with the problem in the morning . . . Just before the next winter storm gets here.
 Stupid groundhog.

The Color Grey

Gray or Grey, there both correct.  I prefer to spell it with an E though.  By the way this post has absolutely nothing to do with the book or release of the movie 50 shades of grey.  I just love the color grey.  Its not my favorite color.  My favorite color is green, but I do love to pair green and grey together.
 
Just to state my opinion on the matter you people out there who think 50 shades of grey promotes rape are a bunch of dumb asses and really need to get that tick removed from your ass.

A new beginning.

On December 25th of 2014 I published my very first eBook "Be Careful what you Wish for"  I had another blog set up but then I realized it was linked to an address with personal information on it and I decided to create a seperate Google plus account for my writer persona "Stupid Girl".  If you were one of the veyr few people who may or may not have been following my original blog "Stupid Girl and the Train Wreck" please save this blog to your favorites because this is where I will be posting from now.
