Me, Alexander Knight (Lucky Stiff, 1984, The Pajama Game)
I had this REALLY bad laptop for a few years there. Before that I had an even worse laptop.
Laptop #1 was a Dell I had through college, which was a "college present" for lack of a better term. After a few years it wouldn't turn on. I bought a .22 rifle and took it out to a field near Rexburg, Idaho and put a few hollow-points in it. Between me and my Brother-in-Law, James, I'd say we put 100 bullets in it.
Laptop #2 was my Dad's, then my baby bro's, then mine. It was horrible. Took 10+ minutes to boot up, and if it was unplugged for more than 10 seconds it would shut off since the battery held no charge. That is sitting on my shelf, crucial info moved to an SD card, awaiting execution.
Now I have a Cromebook:

That I LOVE.
It's so simple. Just uses programs put out there by Google like Google Docs, Blogger (obviously), Google Sheets, etc. But I can also add my Netflix, IMDb, IGN, and Facebook apps.
It was so inexpensive ($250 a Best Buy) and I don't have to download Office 365 or buy software or sign my life away to Apple or anything. It's fantastic!
But this isn't my Chromebook review post. I was explaining where I've been.
Sure, I could have gone to a library or borrowed a friend's computer to keep up on my movies, but I just wasn't motivated for a while there.
I've been watching movies this entire time. Don't know why I never bought a Megaplex Rewards card, I could probably have TONS of free popcorn by now. Since I paused blogging I saw Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Thor: The Dark World... so many movies. I'll try to blog about some of the highlights, as well as older movies too. Classics like Hook, Rounders, and It's a Wonderful Life. I LOVE movies. I think movies can be the greatest form of art out there.

One of my favorites is The Fountain. I need to watch that again, and blog it if I haven't already.
"Why don't you just check if you've blogged it?"
"Eh."
So yeah, blog-wise I feel like you're caught up now.
I look forward to writing more and more about my life and especially about my views on movies. I LOVE movies. Did I mention that?
"Why don't you just scroll up 2 inches and see if you wrote it?"
"Eh."
Factoid: With all the overtime I've been working I've had 1 (one) weekend in January. It ain't easy being green.
