  • Redneck Road Rage

    I just got back from a trip to Walmart (I took today off, obviously). On the way there I pulled behind two rednecks at a stoplight in a double turn lane -- it was hysterical as they were yelling back and forth at each ot…

  • Dreamer

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HORSE RACING MOVIES!!! I blame this completely on my obsession with Walter Farley and Marguerite Henry novels when I was a kid. I was like totally in love with Alec Ramsey & his horse the Black wh…

  • Protests, Blogs, and Guacamole (in no particular order)

    I left work just before downtown was scheduled to be shut down for a massive immigration protest scheduled to start at 4:30 (protests seem to lack some "oomph" when they are scheduled, methinks). The interstate going int…

  • I can't believe this hasn't happened already...I mean seriously... Today Graceland, home of Elvis, is being officially designated as a National Historic Landmark. Ahem. This may be just me…but this is so long overdue, d…

  • Leather & Lace by DiAnn Mills

    I know I've given some of this summary information before...but that was a while ago. So at the risk of being redundant, here you go again: Reward! ($10,000) - Casey O'Hare - Wanted for Robbery and Murder It's a…

  • EDIT: Currently watching The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- What a freaky weird little movie. It's actually pretty funny though, in a really random way. I'm not even going to pretend to try to really review this si…

  • Why oh why didn't I remember that the figure skating World Championships were on tonight?! I missed seeing my darling Evan Lysachek win bronze!! WOOHOO! And I hear Johnny Weir(d) fell three times in a row (*evil cackli…

  • Love's Labours Lost

    You might ask yourself -- how can combining Shakespeare's immortal words and classic popular song possibly work? The answer would be... I have absolutely no idea, but just trust me it works beautifully. This is due in n…

  • I am so confused...(surprise I know)...

    EDIT: Woohoo, go Chris! Chris Young came in 5th to last another week on Nashville Star...much improvement in his performance IMO. Incidentally it cracks me up that this show has Larry the Cable Guy as a judge. Hysterical…

  • I don't really have anything to say but I feel like blogging anyway...

    Sherrie & I had dinner (Calypso Cafe black bean salad -- YUM!! ) and a movie night this Saturday evening (Pride and Prejudice -- Keira Knightley version -- and Bride and Prejudice -- quite the contrast, which Sherrie…

  • Help, I'm trapped in Taco Bell!

    EDIT: Well this Dr. Who thing is marginally entertaining television. I'm still awake at any rate, LOL! So Lee and I went to Taco Bell for lunch. First of all it was FREEZING inside the restaurant but that is neither …

  • The cleaning people always come to take out the trash and supposedly “clean” the office on Wednesdays after work. Question: Why do they feel the need to trash my cube? And I am not the only one who deals with this phenom…

  • Good Night, and Good Luck

    I rented Good Night, and Good Luck last night and really, really enjoyed it. It's an excellent, well-made and thoughtful film. Stylistically it reminded me somewhat of Fail-Safe (black and white film about an electronic …

  • Amazon Selling Update… …had slowed down but now, suddenly, people are buying my junk again. WOOHOO! Kristin Chenoweth – Back to Broadway? YAY! According to Playbill.com, it looks as though Kristin Chenoweth may be…

  • An attempt at organized blogging...

    I feel as though my blogging has been very disorganized and slipshod lately. Oh well. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, here’s some randomness: Chris Botti – Live: With Orchestra & Special Friends – relea…

  • Back to books...

    Well there are some nice little deleted scenes on this DVD. I haven't watched all of the interviews yet but so far they've been interesting. I am really and truly crushed that Order of the Phoenix isn't releasing until 2…

  • I see...stupid people!!

    This amused me greatly (found the story on Fox News...unfortunately I missed reading Bab's unedited "truth alert" -- DANG IT!!): Actress, singer, and liberal activist Barbra Streisand has posted a diatribe on her Web…

  • Oscar surprises & speed bumps

    I was pretty shocked (in a good way) that Crash won the Best Picture Oscar last night. I'm actually happy that no one "swept" the Oscars. Mike's blog pointed me to this great quote about Brokeback's skewed vision of "tru…

  • Doing a Harry Potter movie refresher course (LOL) since Goblet of Fire comes out in Tuesday (WOOHOO!!). I am once again struck by how absolutely perfect the casting has been for these movies (99% of the time at any rate)…

  • Just a quick update...

    Richie, Jess, & I went to see The Pink Panther tonight. It was actually kind of funny -- stupid, but funny (kind of reminded me of Johnny English -- if you've never seen that movie it's really dumb but HYSTERICALLY s…

  • I just finished shoving a potassium tablet down a very unwilling nineteen year old cat's throat. I feel bad -- I mean I had to put the poor guy in a headlock and try three times! However thank goodness the third time wa…

  • Ruth is happy ‘cause Ruth had a Pride and Prejudice fix last night. (Why am I talking about myself in the third person?! Slightly disturbing…hehehe…) I wonder how many times I can watch P&P in a week…will have to t…
