Finuary Ends ???

FEBRUARY HAS COME TO AN END.  Does this signal the end of FINUARY?!?!?!  Oh no, it can't be!!!!


Aaaaaaaaaaand it isn't.  See, I didn't do as well with watching as many shitty shark movies as I wanted due to this being a particularly shitty month for me.  So yeah, I was a little disappointed in myself.  Felt like a bucket of chum. 

HEY!  That's not a shitty shark movie; that's a really GOOD one!!!

However, due to popular demand, I have been convinced to extend FINUARY into the month of March.  That's right, my little minnows.  FINUARY is slopping over into TWICE BITTEN MARCH MUNCH!!!  But hey, I'll still be calling it all FINUARY.  So by the end of February, here are the shitty shark movies I've managed to make my way through.  We'll just call them the unlucky 13: 


     So check back in TWICE BITTEN MARCH MUNCH month to see what other goofy shark flicks I subject myself to!

JANUARY EARWORMS

I have this thing where I wake up most mornings and there's a song playing over and over in my head.  It's not a song that I consciously put there and it's not a song I recently heard.  It's just there.  And sometimes it takes me a couple minutes after waking to notice it's spinning around and around in my head.  So being the weird cuss that I am, I have endeavored to keep track of these odd little earworms in my BUJO each month.  And here are all the songs that appeared in my noggin during the month of January 2025:
