The Big Short is a brilliant piece of film work.  To keep excitement, interest and focus on financials from so many different perspectives for 128 minutes in not easy.  The Big Short played like a well oiled machine.  Each player was like a detective unraveling a case and there were many players.  In 2005, Michael Burry (Christian Bale) noticed the US housing market was very unstable because of subprime loans based on high risk, providing very few returns.  He predicted that the market would collapse around the second quarter of 2007 but he also realized he could profit from the situation by creating a credit default swap market that would allow him to bet against the housing market.  He went to several banks and successfully sold his idea.  However, his clients felt he was wasting their money and demanded that he cease all activities plus return their money but…

I am rating Spotlight 8.5 because of the message it sends and because of the impact this story has had on society.  Many people don’t want to accept the findings of this true story but the proof is there.  When you have put your faith in a belief all your life only to learn that the messengers are corrupt, damaged or the opposite of what you believed they were, it’s damn hard to admit you’ve bought into a possible fraud or maybe that your whole world is possibly bogus because perhaps, you’ve chosen incorrectly.  Chances are, you feel abandoned without any help from authorities to tell you want went wrong or how to fix the problem.  Spotlight is the biographical story of pedophile priest in the Catholic church who’s crimes of molestation were sweep under the rug by church, city and state officials.  The amount of victims and predators grew…

So, I do Meatless Mondays. I was hankering for a burger. The best Veggie Burger I have ever had was at Houston’s Restaurant. I decided to try a new one today. I have been to BurgerFi once before, I had a hotdog, it was great! Today I was after a veggie burger.

I have to tell you, it was very good. Two things, that is my finger and too many fries. They were very good. (the fries).

It was a really good veggie burger! I recommend it!

I love Hooters wings, yes, but the best wings in Atlanta….are from Napolean’s in Oak Grove, Atlanta.These are the best ever!

朝起きて窓を見るとこんな景色

朝から仕事なのに車が雪に埋もってたらどうしよう…

でも車は無事でしたw

神秘的だけどもう見慣れた景色で感動は無い。

乾燥する冬は静電気が酷くて髪はまとめ髪ばかり
片方に寄せた髪をフィッシュボーンに編んで
最後に崩すだけの超簡単hair

そろそろ切りた―い!

理想は肩よりちょっと短くして
hairに細かくハイライトとローライトを入れたい!
でもアレンジが出来るロングも捨てがたくて
思い切れないのが最近の悩みw

H&Mのデニムを初めて履いたけど
固めの素材で履き心地いい!

Room is an extraordinary story of love, devotion, strength, hope, and courage coupled with fear, uncertainty, anger, bewilderment and anxiety.  This movie will cause you to dig very deep into your soul to question the sanity of what we call normal.  A 17 year old girl is tricked into helping a man and his dog, only to be snatched and sequestered from the rest of the world for the next seven years.  Joy Newsome (Brie Lawson), now 24 and her 5 year old son Jack Newsome, (Jacob Temblay) live in a shack 10′ by 10′ where they share a bed, an old TV, a toilet, a tub, and a small table where they eat their meals.  They are undernourished, and only have a skylight for outside light.  Joy’s captor, who they call Old Nick (Sean Bridgers) has a coded lock on the outside of the door and appears several…

The concept and practice of a nightcap—having a small alcoholic drink before bed in order to get a good night’s sleep—has been around since the 1700s. But recently, its validity as a sleep aid has been questioned. 

A new review of published studies, involving the sleeping habits of over 500 people who had a nightcap before a snooze in the sleep lab, reveals that a quick drink before bed won’t actually help you get a better night’s sleep. Those who drank, no matter the amount, did in fact fall asleep faster and spent more time in a deep sleep for the first half of the night. However, as the night progressed, they woke up more frequently, experiencing increased sleep disruption—presumably as the alcohol’s effects wore off.

The alcohol also led to an overall drop in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep throughout the night. REM sleep…
