I want wedding supplies...

The same store (it is an engraver) that once advertised 50% off all bowling awards now has a special on wedding supplies. You may be asking yourself “just how good a deal is it? I mean come on they had 50% off all bowling awards.” Well how is 0% for you? Oh, yes they are giving everyone an extra 0% off all wedding supplies. At first I thought that maybe the first digit had just fallen off the sign as they sometimes do, so as I drove past the sign I turned around to see hat the other side said and it too said 0% off. To me it just seems like a waist of time to put up a sign for 0% off.

So much to say...

  • I went and saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith today with a friend. I really enjoyed it, it was predictable and the plot was not especially complex, but it was great fun.
Top 5 Reasons Mr. and Mrs. Smith was great fun.
5. Big explosions.
4. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
kicking each others
butts.
3. Humor even in the face of danger.
2. [Seth Cohan] wearing a Fight Club T-Shirt.

  • I still hate road construction. They are now working even less, but the cones are still on the shoulder and speed limit is still 45 m/hr instead of 70 m/hr

  • It is really hot!

  • It seems as if there was more, but that is all I can think of for now.

Redneck swimming pool…

(I was really temped to title this “You might be a redneck if…”, but I held back.)

[Mad] Props have to go to Sarah for telling me this story. (Wow, I’ve always wanted to say that!)

What would you do if you really wanted a swimming pool? Chances are you wouldn’t put a tarp in the bed of your pickup truck and then fill it with water. I mean what if you need to go’ta town? A family living across the street from the hospital where Sarah works did just this, well that is after they were told that they need to remove all the junk from their yard. I wonder if a pickup swimming pool counts as junk, hmm food for thought.

I want to be creative…

I have an overwhelming urge to be creative. I am not sure how I want this creativity to be manifested, but I am sure that I want it to be. I thought that maybe I wanted to paint, but that would require all sorts of things…namely paint. Now I could go out and get some paint, but there is a good chance that I don’t really want to paint and that would be a waste of time and money then. . Maybe I want to write that doesn’t require anything special. I mean I have paper and pencils; I could even use my computer if I want to, right? Well writing does require one thing…talent. Not that I have the talent to painting because as well all know that just isn’t true, and I have tried writing before. I have fifty or so pages of a script that no one will ever read to prove that. So, I’m not sure what I will do to satisfy this recent urge to be creative, but if you have any ideas that are a) cheap b) easy c) don’t require any talent please let me know.

Bound, Bound, Bound and Rebound…

…Or I [heart] DVD extras


I’ve mentioned before how much I love DVD extras, and boy do I. I finally got around to renting "The Incredibles" on DVD last night and I all I have to say is I can’t believe that I haven’t done this sooner. It is really a shame that I waited so long, but with an extra disk full of features it was a real treat. I have watched the movie before but now I get to watch it with commentary (at the time I am writing this I have yet to do this, you have to ration these things). What I have done already is watch all the special features on the bonus disk including the short that was played before the movie in the theater with and without commentary. I know what you are thinking but it is less than five minutes each time. If you have yet to either rent or buy "The Incredibles" on DVD and take advantage of the wonderful world that is special features I highly recommend that you go immediately to your nearest movie retailer or renter and do so.

By the way I am thinking that maybe I should not write at two thirty in the morning. I have enough trouble being coherent at 2:30pm what should I expect at 2:30 am? Oh well, I am not sure that this will make it past the editing board. Ok, ok so there is no editing board I guess I have made that abundantly clear in nearly every other post I have written. I guess the real question is when I read this tomorrow will I just hit the publish button or will I take the time to read this and then write a new post. Chances are I will just push publish and you my loyal readers will be left with a bunch of gibberish. Ok, well I guess I am going to try and get some sleep now.

It's a small world...

I've told a few of you before that I thought that my world was caving in on me because so much of what I like is interconnected, and it's true. Here is a bit of an article about an upcoming reality show to be shown on MTV that was created by a guy whose blog I read almost daily (well at least as often as he updates).

Conjuring images of a snake swallowing its tail, "The
Reality Show" will look for someone to become the
centerpiece of a new unscripted MTV series by putting
them through a competition-style unscripted show.
Presumably the first show will make the winner
recognizable enough to viewers that they might want to
watch the second show.

Jerry Mahoney and production company SuperDelicious
("The Assistant") are producing the show. "Assistant"
star Andy Dick and other comics are on tap to appear
during the series.
Congratulations Jerry! (Yes I do know that he is not going to read this I just think that it nice to say it.) If you would like to read the whole article click here.

Road construction is fun...

Wait is it just me or is the only sign of road construction the barrels? 'Cause it seems to me that they may want to actually construct something.

New Links...

I have added some new links to the right. I especially like Kitty War, it allows you to vote on which kitty pictures are the cutest. I can never decide they are all soo cute. So why don't you give it a try and see if you can be a bit more decisive then I am. Good Luck!!!

OJ...

As I was unloading by shopping cart into my car last night I thought that I that I lost my mind. I know what you are thinking and I am at least one or two steps ahead of you. No it is not the first time I have thought this and quite possibly not the first time I thought it that day even, but I can't remember. Anyway, I knew that I had purchased two half gallons or what ever size containers they were of orange juice so when I loaded the first sack that contained two containers of orange juice into my car I thought nothing of it. I then loaded another sack filled with various items into my car. When I grabed the nest sack with two orange juices I was confused. At first I thought that maybe I had been mistaken and I had not put the orange juice in to my car yet. Then I noticed that the juice that was in the cart was not the kind of orange juice that I had picked out. Upon further inspection I had in fact received four containers of orange juice, the orange juice that I picked out and the extra orange juice. I thought for a moment about what I should do I then decided that the right thing to do was to return the extra orange juice as I really did not need that much orange juice. When I took the sack back into the grocery store I told them that I thought they had given me this orange juice by mistake. (I did check my receipt and I was only charged for two containers of orange juice.) As I walked out of the store I heard them say "I guess she didn't want free orange juice" and then I heard them arguing about who was to blame for the mess up.
