Update

As you may have noticed I haven't been blogging as much.  I scramble to put up my weekly NFL picks at the last minute and that's been it for the past few weeks.  Is it because of a lack of time or of movie watching?  Absolutely not.  Sure I do have a job now but I still have plenty of free time to watch more movies than I should.  In the past few weeks I have had a lack of motivation and inspiration when it came to this.

Everyday I come home feeling stressed out from my job as a teaching assistant.  I come home and I have zero motivation to do much at all.  Either I just sit in the chair in the living room or I just lay on my bed and scroll through various social media apps on my phone.  I've watched a few movies in this time frame, but I just haven't had the urge to sit down and type my thoughts up about them.  The fact that I still haven't bought a new battery for my laptop isn't helping matters either, since the laptop makes things that much more convenient as opposed to competing with various family members for time on the home computer.

But I'm not giving up on this blog.  Instead I will be putting going back to using this as a de-stressing activity.  Hopefully it'll redirect my attention from all the negativity in my area of work and focus on two things that I enjoy:  Movies and writing.

Now with all of that out of the way, what's coming up?  I could write several long paragraphs about them but I'll keep them short and simple:

• Awards season is now in full swing with the SAG Awards and the Golden Globes recently announcing their nominations.  Much like last year, I'll be doing a write-up with my reactions to the Golden Globe nominations.  Expect that sometime later today.
• Week 15 NFL Picks will officially be posted sometime before the 1:00 games tomorrow.  The following Thursday I will resume the normal posting schedule for NFL Picks.
• Since it's the end of the year, I will be trying to see as many movies as I can.  Some I'll be catching up with from earlier in the year, some are awards season contenders movies finally making their way to Fort Wayne movie theaters now, and some are just movies I was going to go see regardless.  So expect a lot of reviews coming up, with various lists popping up shortly after January 1.
• And speaking of reviews, I have plenty from the past few weeks that I need to catch up on.  Within the next week expect a post that has short reviews for all of those movies.  

Well I think that about does it for now.  Once again, I always appreciate feedback.  Unless it's from blatantly disrespectful "students".
