Eat the Yummy Stuff First

Alica McKenna Johnson Alica Mckenna Johnson, Monday Musings Alica Mckenna Johnson, food, goals, healthy eating, life, Phoenix Child 0

As a kid I always saved my favorite part of my meal for last. I wanted the yummiest tastes to be the last on my tongue. I still do this, and it has taken me 41 years to realize this leads to overeating. Now of course since I am serving myself, I like everything on […]

Fake Orange equals Delicious

Alica McKenna Johnson Alica Mckenna Johnson, Monday Musings Alica Mckenna Johnson, food, healthy eating, life, Monday Musings, self discovery 0

I love cheese, real cheese that comes in blocks and has a rind. Cheese that smells pungent with a strong taste that would make kids gag. So why does the fake orange cheese always look so good? Plastic cheese sauce for nachos. ‘Cheese’ powder for boxed macaroni and chips. What is it about that shade […]

Business Idea: The Depressed Café

Alica McKenna Johnson Alica Mckenna Johnson, Monday Musings Alica Mckenna Johnson, being an author, depression, Monday Musings, Phoenix Child, self discovery, writing 5

Okay so it’ll need a better name, but the idea is amazing! I want to have a café I can go to when I was feeling depressed. Because sometimes you just can’t stand your home for one more minute, or you want to be around people but not have to talk to them, or you […]

The Eleventh Hour

Alica McKenna Johnson Foreign Film Friday Alica Mckenna Johnson, BBC, Eleventh Hour, Foreign Film Friday, Murder Mysteries, Patrick Stewart 2

Go Science! Patrick Stewart stars as Ian Hood, so, yes, you should watch it right now. LOL. This mystery series has Ian chasing scientists turned to the dark side. He investigates and solves crimes involving human cloning, a deadly virus outbreak, global warming, and a deadly cure for cancer. There are only four episodes on […]

Business Idea: A Brothel for Women

Alica McKenna Johnson Alica Mckenna Johnson, Monday Musings Alica Mckenna Johnson, goals, Monday Musings, safe sex 6

Seriously, I think this is a great idea. First off, working with kids in the foster care system for the past eight years has made the words ‘mom’s boyfriend’ or ‘stepdad’ something that makes my stomach clench. AND yes, there are a lot of amazing men out there, but if a single mom wants to […]

What We Do In The Shadows

Alica McKenna Johnson Foreign Film Friday Alica Mckenna Johnson, Foreign Film Friday, horror movies, Vampire Movies 0

I didn’t realize my life was missing a mockumentary about vampires until I watch What We Do In The Shadows. This shows the ‘real’ struggles of centuries old vampires trying to find their way in the modern world. This is a slow movie, but funny, and it’s also classified as horror, and while, yes, they […]

The Brokenwood Mysteries

Alica McKenna Johnson Foreign Film Friday Alica Mckenna Johnson, Austrailian TV, British Tele, Foreign Film Friday, Murder Mysteries, Phoenix Child 4

I love mysteries, especially ones set in other countries, so this drama set in Auckland, New Zealand, was perfect. Fun little mysteries, quirky, engaging characters. I really enjoyed the first season of this show and look forward to watching more.

Neverlake

Alica McKenna Johnson Foreign Film Friday Alica Mckenna Johnson, Foreign Film Friday, horror movies, Phoenix Child 2

A creepy horror /mystery set in Italy. A combination of modern horrors and ancient powers force Jenny into searching for the truth hidden under her estranged father’s home. This is a movie that builds. There are clues and things that obviously aren’t quite right, until all the different puzzle pieces come together. I will say […]

Why Do Teens Come into their Power in Fiction?

Alica McKenna Johnson Alica Mckenna Johnson Alica Mckenna Johnson, being an author, parenting, parenting boys, Parenting girls, parenting teens, Phoenix Child, writing 6

Teenagers frequently come into magical powers in fiction, my characters included. Of course it’s an metaphor for puberty, the power of their budding sexuality, and their maturing into adults. But I also think it’s an expression for the forces of nature that teenagers become. Your average eight year old feels things intensely and their emotions—joy, […]

Let the Right One In

Alica McKenna Johnson Foreign Film Friday Alica Mckenna Johnson, Foreign Film Friday, horror movies, Legacy of the Feathered Serpent, Phoenix Child, Vampire Movies 0

I love vampire movies, even bad vampire movies, so I’m surprised it took me this long to watch Let the Right One In, the original. This is not a fast paced attack the sexy vampire movie. This is a movie about a sad little boy who finds a friend in his new neighbor who happens […]
