In case you are wondering why this blog returned a bit before going on a break again, it was largely due to a bit of poor timing. I was wanting to publish all of this blog’s old posts before the start of Lent in case certain songs in them have a word that you can’t say during Lent in which case I wouldn’t share them again until after Easter and would have Lenten songs replace them in the meantime. (I am wanting to record both Lenten and Easter songs on my YouTube channel so maybe I should motivate myself to actually do this sometime. I can record them whenever and schedule the updates for when it will be either of those times.)
If
you want to know what happened, I wound up too tired and busy on a lot of the
days and wanted to stay more caught up on other things on other days. I do also
worry about keeping the Survivor blog up to date because as of now, I don’t
know if I will be watching it live, but still delaying the posts of it until
later. And I don’t know how backed up this blog itself might become over time.
I have more important things to do with my life than blogging. Don’t expect
posts to be on time. Of course, if you haven’t figured that out by now, then I’m
not sure how long you’ve been gone too.
Continuing
with more of Schoolhouse Rock, we get to the first song in Money Rock and that
is called Dollars and Sense. I should have been more clear that the last song
shared was the last of Science Rock. I do wish that this song didn’t generalize
money as bills with pictures of the presidents since the $10 bill and the $100
bill don’t have presidents on them. The only rule as to who can be on US money
is that they must be dead. They don’t even have to be American.

The
game of The Wind Waker took a bit of a turn as what you’d think would be the
next dungeon for the next pearl would be the set up, but you can’t get there
before it gets destroyed. (You have only one chance to potentially do this in
game, but the game won’t let you do that. I’ve tried. I don’t think that
there’s a glitch that lets you get there before the event happens.) This leads
to an adventure where the next task is essentially the bombing whirlpool at
Onset Island. I do like that this means that the game isn’t just taking another
standard adventure, even if it makes a bit of a segue from any set dungeon for
a while.

Continuing
on with songs from Trolls, I’m going to share the ending song, not counting
anything that appears in the credits. The movie version of Can’t Stop the Feeling
is now included for your enjoyment. It is an original song for the movie.

Since
I had shared the Celtic Woman version of this song, then I might as well share
the original. Lullaby by Billy Joel is also known as Goodnight My Angel and his
version is longer than the one Celtic Woman ultimately used. So enjoy what is
for all intents and purposes the complete version.

In
Celtic Woman’s earlier days, they were accused of not being Irish enough. There
might be some times when that accusation still stands. Indeed, some
international releases of their CDs don’t include the next song. But you have
to admit that they owe a lot of their popularity and success to America. Thus,
it only seems fitting that one of their songs, the one that closes the first
act of this concert, is O, America!

Football
team ranking update: With me very behind on all of these blogs and sad that I
did not get an update of this posted in March, I still have noted that the
Buffalo Bills are the next highest in the ranking since something bad had
happened in Buffalo and I felt that they were next in line. That number, for
those who don’t remember it, is 25th out of all of them.
In
this post of my Madam Secretary blog, I talk about the special tape I have of
The Big Bang Theory season 5 disc 3 (yes, a tape) and other things after it so
the tape wouldn’t have a lot of extra room on it that one didn’t need. I also
talk about March Madness which had me, at least in that post, rooting for the
teams of Wichita State, Butler, and Duke, although that and other teams aren’t
mentioned yet. I will now be talking about March Madness in this blog, as I’ll
get to later.
I
also used to have a rule where I would automatically root for a team that wins
the game before primetime on Sundays, but that is currently null. In 2017, I
sort of was able to avoid discussing politics during Lent. I also wondered in
this post: would women who were sexually harassed or worse be okay with being
paid off? I wouldn’t see why, but I guess that there could be a reason for
that?

What
I’m giving up for Lent in 2023: CinemaSins, Jay Exci, The Birdman, TVSins,
Channel Awesome, non-English status updates on facebook, CinemaWins, Screen
Junkies, and Brian Tyler Cohen.
The
city that I feel like doing an acrostic poem about right now is New York City.
I visited there once in 2019. I hope to go back once they finish making Two
World Trade Center so I can visit that. I have no idea what the progress of
that would be and think that the pandemic probably set back the construction by
a lot. Still, I want to write about this city.
New
Amsterdam, it is no more
Even
if it seems
Weird
things happen here
You’d
think that no one notices things there
Of
course, this is just a movie plot
Right
out of one great film after another
Known
throughout the country as a great place
Can
you do everything there?
I
think that a weeklong visit could be good
To
do everything there would be impossible
You
should still make a visit there sometime
Movie
update: On Friday, I had to catch up on shows on my laptop so I couldn’t see
any movie then that day. On Saturday, I wound up being busy. On Sunday, there
were other plans for lunch in a way that is unusual for now, but could be usual
in the future. On Wednesday, I watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I replaced
that with Kingsman: The Secret Service. I still wasn’t finished with that movie
on Thursday so I once again couldn’t see one of Thursday’s movies. This
probably won’t happen again for a while since I’m moving Wednesday’s list to
Tuesday next week.
The
first part has a stabbing victim calling 9-1-1. I thought that was a FOX show.
He winds up dying with the team investigating it. Josh has put in long shifts,
with this being his next double. Allie calls from another place saying that
this is her chance to get their main suspect for the recurring crimes of the
season which seems to be a long and drawn out plot by now. The team has to
figure out more of what’s going on. The victim of the week was at an eating
competition.
The
second part has Maxine finding pulled pork in the stomach which was three times
its normal size and had 15 pounds of food in it. Allie wants to nab their
therapist suspect, Diane, but Serena, who Josh forced to show up to this, wants
to make sure that they have an air tight case to search the suspect’s house
while also not getting into anything protected by doctor-patient
confidentiality. Most importantly, they don’t want to tip her off as a suspect
since that could mean that they could lose everything. As for the case of the
week, people are talked to at an eating competition. The stabbing was unusual
in some way.
The
third part has the team talking about how someone cheated to get this dead guy
to lose the eating competition by poisoning him. And they think that someone
was eating less at the competition as well. They confront a woman named Rita
who claims that she doesn’t cheat. Maybe she didn’t know she was eating less?
The
master of the competition might be the person who poisoned Matt, the dead
person. He wants to get a lawyer and suggests that Rita do the same. Mushrooms
were how the poison worked this time. Later that night, Allie and Serena enter
the house of Diane. They don’t find her at first, but when the lights are
killed inside the house, Diane drives away with Serena getting in a car and
chasing her while Allie seems to stay at the house.
The
fourth part forgoes what could have been an awesome car chase and instead just
has Diane as having gotten away with Serena and the rest of the team just there
at the crime scene investigating the scene. Going more towards the other case,
we get to mother of Matt being talked to with her admitting to giving him the
mushrooms and killing him in order to stop him from being in eating
competitions. But Josh remains skeptical since he thinks that these mushrooms
couldn’t kill someone like that since they haven’t yet. To test this theory, he
eats them himself.
The
fifth part has Josh being tested to see how and if he could be like how Matt
was before he died. While getting drunk, Josh is told that people knew about
how people thought that him and Allie would be together. Since Josh survived
this, he is sure now that Matt died through other means. Allie tells the lab
tech Chris (I think) that odor might be best used to find things relating to
the Diane case.
Josh
figures out that a low voltage electrocution was what was killed Matt. But what
about the stabbing? Did they ever explain how or why he was stabbed? Who did
that to him? Did I miss that somehow? I miss too many things, don’t I? While
there is a lead in the silver back killer case, which I think of what they are
calling it, it turns out that Diane is not that killer as she winds up being
killed. Wait. Isn’t that a phrase? Killer be killed? No? That’s not right?
Anyways, there are no scenes from next time so I guess that I will be back
whenever with a new episode, maybe on that day itself. For now, this is Adam
Decker, signing off.
