WTF?!?

Ok so my channels on TV got completely hosed. I mean completely, utterly, and totally screwed around, with no kiss, or much of anything else really. I don't watch that much TV anyway, now there's the whole re-learning the channel thing. I know that in the end, I'll learn the new channel placements and all will be well with the world, but man I don't think I've seen a company pretty much change EVERY channel? Scary if you ask me.

Maybe in the end the new line-up will make more sense, I mean it looks like it will, but why mess with the apple cart? Why flip the whole thing over, unless I'm getting something? Am I getting something? I don't think so, at least I don't see anything. Oh well, while you're reading this I'm really at Disney World, the happiest place on Earth. So take that Hargray Cable. lol :o)

Classic Film Friday: Bringing Up Baby

Cary Grant stars as a victim of circumstance and unwitting paleontologist Dr. David Huxley in this very much of a screw ball comedy. Every victim must have a predator, and that roll goes to Katharine Hepburn as Susan Vance. Essentially Dr. Huxley is to play golf with a man who will be responsible for a million dollar donation to his museum. When Huxley veers off the golf course to retrieve his ball, he finds Susan Vance hitting his ball, and thus the two are pretty much inseparable from that point, even though Huxley is to get married the next day.

From there it gets crazy, Susan's brother sends her a leopard from Brazil (yes I know jaguars would have been from south America, but anyway). Susan trick's Huxley into helping her get the leopard to Connecticut, and then the story goes ape shit.

I would definitely recommend this movie for a classics virgin, or anybody else really. Katherine Hepburn is one of my secret love affairs, and Cary Grant plays along so well. Don't miss this 1938 Gem! Below I included two YouTube clips of the movie, the first of which the word "GAY" is apparently used to mean what it means today.

Just to let everyone know...

Yes I am leaving this afternoon to go to Disney World, but don't fret, I've got posts all throughout my time away. I've got a Classic Movie, more on what make me...me, and some other posts too. I know, all 2 of you will probably read them, but still. I dont want anyone to think I'm away and then look at the post when they do come back and say, "Son of a bitch! I thought he was on vacation" know what I mean? I will have a full report of all things Disney sometime next week.

I've also got some more Blog Jam things/more Bloggers in the works too. Things are looking good around here. As always if you know or want to be a part of it all, contact me, I'll even help you through the process of starting your blog though it's not hard. I know people come and go, but once this thing gets started I hope it will take off.

Yep, things are looking good, so have a great 4th, wherever you are.

Oh, Shut Up!

Sometimes a person will write something so off the wall, so incoherent, just so inexplicably wrong that all you can think about is punching the fuck out of him/her. I'm not talking about your average person, I'm talking about a dummy, who then gets some of his/her facts right, but then some how twists it into whatever he/she believes. These people should not be exposed to anything about the news or information, and the regular people should not be exposed to him/her.

I really don't know what happens to a person to make them that way, but I can't stand it. So I simply ignore that person, which is a shame because that person does have something to say, and sometimes it's actually beneficial, but my tolerance for bullshit is at an all time low. If you know someone like this, or are in fact a person like this (which I doubt anyone coming here would be) ease up, or you'll either be ignored or told off. Right now I'm in the mood to tell a few off myself.

He Likes the Smell

Oh Boy

So....um yeah, it looks like we're going to Disney World this weekend. I'm terrified, because, really I just got finished saying how I wasn't going or at least how I didn't want to go, and the crowds, and the gas. But see I'm overlooking all of that, because my wife said that this is what she wants, and if I can't do this simple thing for her what's the use in being married? So with a big GULP and with me closing my eyes we're going to go.

We haven't really had a vacation since our honeymoon, and that's been 3 years now. It's only for the weekend, so it's really not even a vacation. We'll see. I hope it all works out, "hope" being the operative word.

The Rest of my Weekend

Yes I know it's Tuesday, but there were things that happened besides the airport fiasco of 2008. And they are:

So I really don't know about this past weekend. My wife is bound and determined to get us to Disney World this year. This is probably going to just be a weekend thing, one we can't afford more and two I don't have vacation anyway. We'll see, and yes while $4.00 gas would not affect my trip, all the idiots on the road will. But yeah, I did just say I won't be on the road... I got suckered into it.

We saw Wall-E at the movies... it was ok, if you like (or your kids like) robots or outer space, otherwise skip it. Our 2-year-old could not relate, no singing or dancing... not to mention no animals. We were struggling to the end of this one. I don't think the movie's bad per se, but it takes a bit of higher knowledge to understand the whole left earth and now we're coming back, and the robots too because they don't really talk. It just wasn't a pleasant movie.

Speaking of my daughter, she can recite the pledge of allegiance, amazing more so at the age we expect them to repeat things like that, not that I care, but it is bizarre. She can also do her ABC's and count to 20. She's a teacher's daughter.

I watched the 1st Saturday Night Live with George Carlin, it was ok. I mean he was pretty much tripping balls when he did it, but still.

And finally, we went to the Grand Opening of the Food Lion, so far so good, a lot of stuff cheaper than anybody else, we'll see. The place is pretty much for the Sun City crowd, but if I can take advantage of it... so be it.
