Monday Morning Musings #13

This week has started off decently weather-wise. However, that will change as the day progresses. Winter really stinks! I am beginning to sound like a broken record, but I can’t wait till spring arrives.

Last fall, a flick featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone hit the theaters. DH and I eagerly waited for it to be released on Blu-ray. The release date is February 4th. However, iTunes has it for sale now. Over the weekend, we bought the digital copy. Have you seen Escape Plan yet? Here’s a brief synopsis:

Stallone plays Ray Breslin who turns from a prosecutor to breaking out of maximum security prisons. Is he on the wrong side of the law? Not hardly. He makes it his life work to closely study prisons protocols to find security vulnerabilities. Breslin accepts a job to test an off-the-radar, privately funded high security prison for $5M. Will he crack the penitentiary?

Before Breslin knows what happened, he finds that he’d been set up for incarceration forever. No one knows his true identity inside the system and his team on the outside doesn’t know his location. Breslin’s new challenge becomes a fight for his life to do the impossible – break out of jail!

Breslin teams up with inmate Emil Rottmeyer (Schwarzenegger) to find the weaknesses of the seemingly impenetrable facility called The Tower and to learn who placed him inside this nightmare while coming up with an Escape Plan to free both men.

If you’re a Schwarzenegger and Stallone fan, then you will like this flick. It was entertaining and worth the buy. Overall, I give this movie a ….

What things were you into over the weekend? Let’s get Monday started, so grab a cup of your favorite hot beverage while you settle in to read my responses to a few of my favorite Monday memes on Monday Morning Musings!

 

My first blog hop takes me to Stasha from The Good Life has a fun Monday Listicles. Today’s  prompt was submitted by Coletta.

10 Names You Would Have Named Yourself 
 

At one time, I would have definitely say Not Cathy, but after 52 years the name has grown on me. So, I will keep it! However that being said, what 10 names would I choose for myself?

 
  1. Catherine or Cathleen
  2. Zella
  3. Lisha
  4. Diantha
  5. Carmell
  6. Rose
  7. Letha
  8. Veronica
  9. Scarlet
  10. Joetta, after my mother. You just don’t get any more unique than this name, huh?
 

Zella…okay, maybe not, but one of my BFs from junior high had this name. Needless to say, there was not another with it in the whole school…perhaps even in all of McDowell County school system. Point being, a unique name like those from #2-10 would have been a good choice at birth over one of the most popular names of the 60s. Do you know how many Cathys there were in my class each year? At least three others and one of those girls even had the same last name. The only difference was she spelled her name with a ‘K’.

 
 

Each week, Heather, puts on loan FOUR QUESTIONS for anyone to borrow and answer for your blog post, and then she gives you the option to add a fifth question of your own for those who are visiting your blog to answer in the comment section, along with commenting on the four questions you answered. Don’t forget to grab the MQAM badge for your blog or post or both from Acting Balanced blog!

 

Oops, no MQAM questions? Come back later, as soon as Heather makes these questions available then I’ll update!
