#NowWatching "Flesh Eating Mothers" (1988). 345/365.

It's been a busy but quiet movie month. So I've been slacking. Kicking it back up with an odd conceptual movie that delivers so far...

Guess who's going back to school?!? THIS GIRL!!!
Just signed up for an online grant-writing suite at the local community college.
When that's done, I may just save up to take some business and accounting classes.

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)
ahh! a small fluffy ghost sits on a hardwood floor staring directly at us. but actually... the longer we take it in, the more cute the ghost becomes. one could even mistake this little guy for a golden retriever puppy wearing a sheet with eye, ear, and mouth holes cut out of it. even though he gave us a fright, we would still pet this ghost puppy.

I wonder, if like in the Barbie movie, Matchbox 20 could be used to unbrainwash MAGA before they completely destroy the US and the rest of the Mojo Dojo Casa House Blanco.
