When my real-life and dream-life calendars are on different days

Ever wake up and wonder, "What day is this?" I've probably done this too many times to count (not literally of course), but these occasions have especially been prevalent over the course of the past week. I'd say between three and four times over this past week I've dreamt of the following day, only to awaken and realize that day hasn't fully come about yet and my real-life calendar is one day behind my dream-life calendar. This is cause for great confusion initially when awaking in a semi-hypnotic state. One isn't thinking too clearly at that moment, their possibly vivid dreams are likely still at the forefront of their thoughts, and it may take a few minutes to finally place those before-mentioned thoughts to the side and realize what day it is and what's on the agenda for that day.

This was especially the case for me a week ago yesterday. When I fell asleep that Saturday night, I dreamt about awaking on Sunday, before taking a nap in the afternoon and waking up at 6:30 pm. I was supposed to drive out to see my girlfriend that afternoon, so when I awoke at 6:30, I initially freaked out and took a shower, before realizing it was only 6:30 in the morning. I tried getting back to sleep, but couldn't, so I wound up eating breakfast and driving out to my girlfriend's quite early, probably for fear that the dream would come true in a way and I'd end up missing an opportunity to see my girlfriend over the weekend.

This very thing has happened to me two to three other times this past week, and I'm sincerely hoping that my real-life and dream-life calendars start matching one another's before their one-day separation drives me completely insane (yes, I'm already at partially insane)!

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

Film Critic Steve Rhodes Has Some Issues

Normally, I don't "bash" movie critics, because what's the point? We all have different tastes in film, so who am I to say that their tastes are wrong? But, I just bumped into a critic online the other day, and I really have to wonder about him. There is not much consistency with what he likes and doesn't like. Check that, he dislikes anything with George Clooney, he either strongly likes or dislikes films dealing with politics, and he typically enjoys Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Keep in mind that this is a major film critic. This is not a guy like me who writes blog reviews after I view a film at the theaters. Also keep in mind that I'm very open-minded when it comes to films. I enjoy: comedies, dramas, science-fiction, action, suspense/mystery, horror, romantic comedies, romance, foreign, independent, satires, amongst others. It takes a lot for me to sit down, watch a film, and dislike it. There are only a few films where after the credits start rolling, I...
