Random Thoughts IX (The first 8 were probably better)

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

so as I continue to be a sweet wife and clean things while DH drinks on a beach, I get about half the bedroom vacuumed when I notice it smells burn-y. Thought I'd try to finish up but smell is getting strong. Shut it off and smoke starts coming out of the bottom. Pick it up and some burned looking stuff falls onto the carpet. No time for that, first gotta get this thing out into the 25F outside of the house. Come back for burnedy stuff, warm, not hot so I get rid of that.

Think I'm done vacuuming for the day.

You could have burned up the belt.

yeah it's an old vacuum and now that I think about it, it's been smelly for a bit now. Thing was full and had good bit of hair on the brush. Cleaned out all that and tried again just inside the door and smoked again, so nope. I done. Probably the belt like you said.

Looks like one more blast of winter. I've said that 3 times now this year.

Seeing 8+ snow for our area.

8 + snow = x²

@GTO what's your professional take on It Follows?

 

[CloneLawman]

So, I found myself wondering today. Is Cy a girl cardinal or a boy cardinal?

Cy is not defined by bipolar gender norms. Or at least that is what my high school aged step-daughter would likely tell me. Beyond that, I don't know.

Going to Minnesota United's inaugural MLS home game. Only fitting that it is 25 and snow flurries. Mrs. Velo pleased we bought tix early so she can't back out.

When I was in school 2005-2010. Cy had 3 guys and 1 girl on squad.

Right on cue the snow starts as I typed that.

You keep that snow there.

By the way, what kind of league makes an expansion team's very first game a road game at the dominant reigning champion's house? Thrown right into the fire...

I suppose someone could take a close look sometime. I don't feel like being on that list, so I will defer to someone else.

@GTO what's your professional take on It Follows?

I liked it.
Storyline - 9 (nice to see something original)
Execution - 6. Could have been better.

I would say a 6.5 out of 10, but I would push them up to 7.5, if you appreciate originality in horror movies like I do.

Kind of a new take on "having sex in horror movies will kill you" I suppose. It was a good movie. Didn't find it to fit very well in the horror category though.

Best horror movies of 2015 by my old ISU roomie. Only found out recently that he has been writing and podcasting horror movie reviews stuff.

Portland's my favorite MLS team, but they won two years ago, not last year. But yeah, that environment is amazing and not a great place to go for your first game in MLS. Hope you have fun tonight, and good luck to Minnesota!

Also, the meeting took under an hour, so I am very happy about that.

I'm guessing that last sentence is missing jimlad the pirate.

Deathgasm is the only I've seen on that list, and I wasn't overly impressed. I'll have to look into some of the others though.

That's a good assessment. Pretty much how I felt. They did some real good things and some poor things.
