Tuesdays With Muerte is BACK!

...And It's Just About Me Now!


Let me first say, YES! It's good to be back. It has been almost 1 year since my last confession post—and I honestly thought it would be my last ever. (As you might recall, I closed the blog because I was ADDICTED to it; I posted 2-3 trivial things a day!  But once I began grad school, I quit—cold-turkey.  I had to focus on schooling.   Now that I'm finished with my master's degree, I have time to record and share the things that are of real import to me.)

I honestly thought that I had matured beyond the point of needing to post silliness.  But while I was away, I occasionally posted to my Tumblr account—my outlet for sharing interesting pics, vids, and linksI felt were worthy of sharing.

In addition, I started a Wordpress blog while at USU.  (I felt like it would be important to create an audit trail for future employees to see my professional interests.)  However, after speaking with a wise man (online alias: Digital Thom), I realized that I should not segment myself online via multiple blogs.  In response, I decided that while I want to deliver my content via the appropriate web interface, I feel like I should get a website that connects them all.  I'll have to wait until the bryantanner.com domain name becomes available.

I thought about cueing my posts, for this blog, so that they only publish on Tuesdays. However, I will sacrifice the clever play-on-the-title for practicality.  This, you can count on—that I will always spread out posts so that no more than one of them posts per day.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
