Late night wanderings


I had planned on heading to bed hours ago.

However, I found some reading materials that I had neglected (ok, forgot about to be honest with you) and since it's all quiet on the southwestern front, I figured I'd read until words started to blur together.

As always, I did one final scan of some websites before turning in, going to a few that, honestly, had completely slipped my mind!

(These things happen when you're nudged towards 40, you know!)

Anyway, I happened to visit a site that I used to love and that, for some unknown reason, just fell by the wayside.

If you've never read Mr. Cranky, let me explain...it's a movie review website that can be brutally honest and skewers films no matter how good or bad they are.

My personal favorite line was from the site's review of the 1999 Cher vehicle, Tea With Mussolini, where he offers the standard spoiler on the WWII drama, "The Allies win the war (*spoiler alert*)", but there are many other gems as well.

That includes this blog regarding the site founder's take on the state of the nation:

Everything That's Wrong With America I Learned At Starbucks

Enjoy!

My clock on my blog seems to be right...I know that the time your comment appeared is correct because I believe I received an e-mail at roughly the same time...lol.

Can't put one over on me! :D
