I Forgot

I had forgotten to mention the movies we watched while I was down South. I know it doesn't usually get much comment but some of you silent readers may be curious.

First, we watch the Quentin Tarantino-penned True Romance. I had never seen the whole thing before but as we watched I had seen one of the scenes before sometime when we were in a motel with HBO. It was alright but not great.

Next, we watched Supersize Me. My cousin and her husband joked I'd become a vegan after watching it. Guess what? No I haven't. I think the most gruesome part was when they showed how Chicken McNuggets were made and all it really did was make me crave them...Though I'm not the kind of person who enjoys watching surgery, the gastric bypass surgery didn't bother me. I've had worse surgeries done to me. For the most part, the movie was merely common sense. The sad part really is that it's not common sense for so many people but those who read this regularly know I've always thought people were stupid.

Next, we watched the funniest movie I think I've seen in ages: Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell does the best Elvis impersonation ever. (Of course, he's one of the few to attempt the "Old Elvis." Ossie Davis was also hilarious. I should note we started watching this after trying the movie Happiness but who really could watch a movie where a father teaches a son how to masturbate...

Finally, the next thing we watched wasn't actually a movie but episodes of a TV show: Fishing with John. In this series, this frankly unknown musician goes fishing with somewhat obscure or just random celebs. This was pretty funny but after seeing Boston Legal the other night, I think a funnier show would be hosted by Bill Shatner and James Spader...

This Is Where I Was And Will Be Again

These are pictures from my first trip down to Southwest Florida this past October. The 'rents and I are going back down tomorrow so I thought I'd give all one of you a clue to where I was. This is a local park called Ponce De Leone Park. I like this shot because it shows some differences between down there and up here. There's some pretty tacky homes down there. Some homes, maybe that one, are worth about a million dollars and don't look much more interesting than that. By the way, we hope to see a real manatee or two this time... This is Gilchrist Park. That water in the lower left corner is actually part of a big fountain. Again, this shot shows a big difference in climate from up here. Interestingly, this park has the more extravagant Ponce De Leone statue/monument. Weird... We will probably visit this park again at least once while we're down. The theme of differences continues here, al beit morbidly. I had to get a shot of this as it amused me. (Although the ...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Thank You Al Stewart

Well, I'm back from taking care of all those cats. It was actually one cat who had the the run of most of the house and 9 others that stayed in one bedroom; two of which I never saw the whole time. The biggest challenge was changing the litter boxes twice a day. One of the littlest kittens escaped from the room about a half dozen times and was harder and harder to catch. I spent most of my time watching old TV series and movies. I watched episodes of: Magnum PI including the pilot, Hunter including an episode the DVD box hyped had Ed O'Niell in it but also included "Fran McDormand" who perhaps is more well known, Charlie's Angels including the episode that aired originally the day I was born which also happens to be Jaclyn Smith's birthday..., Quantum Leap , Remington Steele , Sledge Hammer , Father Dowling and The Avengers . All series Lady Vader probably doesn't remember since she was under six when they originally aired. (OK, The Avengers and...
