Thinking Fast May Get You McNuggets!

Wednesday evenings are low-key; we often make dinner out of some junky, heat ‘n eat thing that passes for food (I never met a corn dog I didn’t like). As I sat taking some notes for this 2015 project, I asked my daughter if there are any different, new-to-us fast food joints that she’d like to try in our very multi-cultural city.

IMMIDIATELY she comes back with, “Oh, how about that Golden Arches” place… I’ve never tried those McNugget things, yeah… I hear they are pretty good,” completely straight faced as she hands me this load of bull pucky (as great-grandpa would have pegged it).

This, coming from my child who has at least one social media account under the name “ItsRainingMcNuggets.“

Headache + Nagging Adolescent = Agents of Shield

This morning brought me a headache, so I am having quiet time watching a show that is new to me:

My son’s friend has been nagging me to watch this show since the pilot aired. Looks great from the pilot! At least it gets the middle schoolers off my back. For awhile. This kid has good taste in movies and is a walking encyclopedia of Marvel Comics info, and has half a dozen more movies lined up for me to watch to bring me up to speed in the Marvel universe!

Best lines:

Doc-“This is a disaster.”

Mike-“No. It’s an Origin Story.”

And can I have Coulson’s special car… was that a Corvette? Yow!! This series will be fun just to see the return of Coulson!
