Happy Anniversary, Principessa Dolcezza!
Susan Kennedy … another SNHU MFA
graduate has some good news to share. Her short story Portsmouth Propriety has been published in LOVE FREE OR DIE, the fourth volume in the NH Pulp Fiction series,
edited by Elaine Isaak and published by Plaidswede Publishing Concord.
A couple of events will be held next month to celebrate the book's publication.
Susan will be at the one on February 12 at Gibson's Bookstore at 7 p.m. and
would love to see some friendly faces there!
Movies:
Copenhagen … the first of two movies I wasn’t sure I’d last
watching and was more than pleasantly surprised. This one features an angry,
arrogant, abusive young man (in his late 20’s) on a European trek with the
intention of meeting his grandfather, a mysterious figure from his past. He’s with a friend who briefly abandons
him to get married, but returns after he’s jilted. In an effort to read a
letter written in Danish, our protagonist meets a mature young teenager (14) …
as often as I’d thought I’d close the screen out, I wound up staying with it
and in the end very much enjoyed this movie.
Barefoot … the second of the surprises … another form of arrogance
(perhaps a sociopath) always getting himself in trouble (gambling, etc.) winds
up working in a psychiatric hospital (mopping floors) where he meets a recent
admission, a woman with the mind of a child. There’s a reason for her situation
that requires a spoiler you won’t get here. The protagonist is estranged from his
very wealthy Dad (a kind of overused theme), but again, it’s the lady in the
picture who made this one very enjoyable. Two very good feel good movies for me
during the great blizzard that wasn’t.
FACT: The NFL has covered up issues
in the past, including burning the SPYGATE tapes so nobody could ever see just how much BeliCHEAT was CHEATING … and anyone remember how it
handled Ray Rice?
They’re letting this one go just
the way everyone assumed they would … because of the BFF relationship between
the Cheatriots owner, Robert (I hug wife beaters like Floyd Mayweather in my
sky box while chastising Ray Rice AND we signed Aaron Hernandez when nobody
else would, Kraft) … NOTHING WILL CHANGE THE ASTERISK LEGACY OF THE CHEATRIOTS,
BELICHEAT AND, SORRY TO SAY, SHADY TOM BRADY.
Super Prediction … Either the Sea Pigeons bury the
Cheatriots, 34-21 … or the Cheatriots earn yet another *ASTERISK* …

The official song of Malocchio … (for the Cheatriots) …
