2020 films. (Part I).

I started a tradition back at the end of 2016 suggesting all of my favorite films that I would recommend that I had viewed throughout the year. This evolved into three consecutive lists in 2017, two in 2018, and after falling off the wagon with it a bit, a catch up for 2018 and 2019 of sorts detailing the movies that I viewed (spanning four months at a time), which ones were my favorites, and the ones I would steer clear of again.

I figured I would keep that tradition going. 

Catch up from 2016.
Catch up from 2017: Part IPart IIPart III.

Catch up from 2018: Part IPart II.
Catch up from 2018/2019: Part IPart II, Part III.


January's films: Zombieland: Double Tap, Joker, I Tonya, Gemini Man, Jexi.

My favorite: While I watched alot of good one this month, I gonna go with.... Jexi. I know, I'm surprised that something beat out Zombieland: Double Tap too. But, with Jexi D and I laughed from start to finish and just couldn't stop. It was so hilarious. I guess Adam Devine just has that way about him. Least favorite of the month: I think with this one, I'm going to have to go with.... Joker. I know, I know, it has gotten nothing but rave reviews and I'm not saying that it's bad by any means (I love me some Joaquin Phoenix), but it just wasn't my favorite.

January's rewatched from years gone by: Jonah Hex, Conan the Barbarian, Pain & Gain, Breaking Dawn: Part I, Breaking Dawn: Part II.

February's films: Terminator: Dark Fate, Mute, AXL, Avengement, Primal, American Ultra.

My favorite: In All fairness the new Terminator movie was amazing.... what I saw of it. I was sick when we watched it and fell asleep about a half an hour in. I'm still upset about it. All the ones I watched were good, but if I had to pick a favorite I would go with.... Avengement. It's a low budget film on Netflix, but SO good. Least favorite of the month: I wasn't a huge fan of.... Mute.... or AXL. Mute was weird, but I followed it alright, it just wasn't one of my faves. And AXL was amazing, but everything about dogs that puts them in any harm's way or they pick on it makes me incredibly sad, so there's that.

February's rewatched from years gone by: Bright, 30 Days of Night.

March's films: Jumanji: The Next Level, Bloodshot.

My favorite: Can I just go on the record of saying that Jack Black is a genius? And I love him. So my favorite goes to.... Jumanji: The Next Level. It was hilarious and just as good as the first. Least favorite of the month: I don't really have a least favorite for the month. I didn't care for Bloodshot as much as I did Jumanji, but it was still good and I would recommend it. I mean, come on, I'm a sucker for a Vin Diesel flick.

March's rewatched from years gone by: With our trip to Florida and everything, we didn't really watch many movies, so no rewatches.

April's films: Impractical Jokers: The Movie, Bad Boys For Life, War on Everyone, Dolittle, American Assassin, Barely Lethal, The Hard Way, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, Daddy's Home 2.

My favorite: My favorite for this month was a tie between.... Dolittle and.... Jay & Silent Bob Reboot. I highly suggest Dolittle for everyone and if you like "those kind of" movies then you should definitely watch Jay & Silent Bob Reboot too. They were just bot so hilarious and I don't understand why people gave Dolittle such a bad rap, because it was amazing and I loved it (even more than the original). Least favorite of the month: For this one I'm gonna go with.... American Assassin. It was just so drawn out and I didn't feel like it was ever going to end. And while the actors did good, it just felt like to little action for a big action movie.

April's rewatched from years gone by: Salt, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Seven Psychopaths, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

Tv series I've finished: Fuller House (S4-5), The Walking Dead (S1-9), New Girl (S1-7), Grace & Frankie (S6), The Ranch (S8), You (S1-2), Gypsy Sisters (S1-3), Chicago PD (S1-2), How I Met Your Mother (S1-9), True Blood (S1-3), Love is Blind (S1), Santa Clarita Diet (S1-3), The League (S1-7), Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Impractical Jokers, SWAT, MacGyver.

Stand-up I've finished: Pete Davidson: Alive from New York, Dave Chapelle: Sticks & Stones, Dane Cook: Vicious Circle.


Documentaries I've Finished: Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, Don't F*ck with Cats, The Innocence Files.

Audiobooks that I've given a try (some I finished, some not so much): The Nightingale (Kristin Hannah).

We rearranged our living room and it somehow made my life easier?!

The other day we decided to rearrange our living room. A weird thing about me is.... our bed is in our living room. It's a whole thing with me not being able to sleep in the back bedroom and being used to sleeping on the couch. I'm not really going to get into it, and yes I know it's strange, but like I said, it's a whole thing.

Anyways, we put the big bed in the back bedroom (the bedroom that remains the bane of my existence and my forever spot that needs cleaned up and arranged) and brought our full size back out into the living room. We moved the couch and honestly, it opened up our living room so much. Now it's easier to clean and it just looks so much better.

I didn't think it would make that much of a difference, but it has. And with me still working from home (D went back into work this week), it's nice to be able to keep the house clean and get my work done without having so much stress. I even enjoy cooking dinner and not wanting to pull my hair out 24/7.

Although, that might also have something to do with the fact that I've been regularly taking my meds like I'm supposed to. Also, spending all this time with my pups is great. Either way, I'm going with it for however long it lasts this time around.

I have to have all of my babies on one arm. ❤️

Well, most of my babies. Excluding D, because I've heard that putting your significant others name on you is bad luck. And frankly, I don't need anymore bad luck. Is it still bad luck if you get something to represent your significant other? I mean, I did get a paw print for each of my babies instead of their names, so maybe that would work?

Either way, this whole D having a tattoo machine and supplies thing is really working for me. Not to mention, this whole working from home thing, I can multitask. I go into the office for a little bit in the morning, but other than that, Dani and I are still in semi-quarantine and working from the house.

Needless to say, I enjoy working on my laptop from my couch. If I could make this a permanent or semi-permanent thing, I totally would. But for now, we're just doing the best we can and in my case, multitasking. 

Aka, doing productive work while watching Hulu from my couch with no pants or makeup on and getting tattooed. Trust me, you don't want to see me at this point in my life.

We've learned quite a bit about ourselves while in this quarantine together.

The most troubling thing to me is that I don't own a pencil. Not a single one. Not a mechanical pencil, colored pencil, old school No. 2. NOTHING. I'm lousy with pens, but no pencils to be found in this house of ours. People literally have pencils on The Walking Dead and we can't find one around here.

Also, we've watched so much of The Walking Dead that we've started to compare everything in our lives to it, so please just roll with me on this one.

By the way, the most troubling thing about this quarantine should be that I let my hubby tattoo me just because I have hated the tattoo on my foot for 8+ years (the guy never did do it like I asked), because he got a new tattoo gun and I had just the right amount of Fireball to think it was a great idea.

To be fair, he did a great job. And I love it more than I ever have. And here we are. #QuarantineLife

We're still in quarantine and making the best of it.

We've been in quarantine since the day after we got home from Florida.... well, technically I have been and D has been since Saturday. I think. In all honesty, the days are starting to run together and I'm not really sure what's happening day after day.

But, I'm not complaining about it. In fact, if this is what's going to help stop the vicious spread of COVID-19, then I am all for it. Not to mention, Dani brought me my laptop and some documents/billing/timecards/etc. so that I can continue to work from home, so we are still get things accomplished.

That, and doing a whole lot of Netflixing and napping. Which is strange, because I NEVER nap, and maybe that's why my days are all off and I'm confused? I don't know. I've even been keeping up with my house cleaning. So, you know, there's that.

Quarantine life be like whaaattttt?!!!!

With everyone and thing on lockdown and quarantine due to COVID-19, I have been working from home. And with the exception of the occasional trip to the grocery store, I have been staying inside the majority of the time.

This whole quarantine thing doesn't really bother me, because as I've said many times over the years and as most people that know me are aware, I have no problem being inside. I'm a homebody through and through and can be inside my house for days on end without it bothering me.

(What does bother me is the fact that so many people are sick and I hope they make a speedy and healthy recovery asap!)

I would be lying if I said this change hasn't affected our household and made us all a little bit crazy though. Especially our pups! But you know what? We got this.

D's company hasn't fully shut down (mine hasn't either, Dani and I are just working from home in quarantine), so the pups and I pass our time by me working and watching Netflix (have y'all seen Love is Blind and Tiger King yet? Because holy shit). Well, that and eating everything in sight. But, we're good. Also, D and I are catching up on The Walking Dead.

To everyone on lockdown out there, just know that we are thinking about you and hope that you and your loved ones are safe and provided for. (Also, who would've thought something like this would have caused mass hysteria and people would start hoarding all of the toilet paper?)

PS: I'm living my entire life in pajamas. #NoF*cksGiven
