A Yogi Bear Movie?!?

I had forgotten that this was in the works, and now that I'm seeing adverts for it, my rage builds again.

Do we really need this? I understand that Hollywood is relying on name recognition nowadays, but seriously, there's got to be better franchises out there. I'm not a huge fan of cartoons about anthropomorphic talking animals recreated in CG with live actors (Garfield, The Chipmunks, etc.)

I mean, they could have taken the money they used to create BooBoo in one scene, and given it to a charity or hospital. (Or given it to me.)

We would have such a good time

I recently had a dream that I was drinking buddies with Richard Belzer. When I woke up, I was very disappointed to realize it was only a dream, and he and I never got together at Arnold's Bar and had a beer together. 

They Have a Lot in Common

WALL-E and R2D2 should hang out.

We've all done it

I just sneezed and fired an not-insignificant-sized glob of snot onto my arm. I'm honestly surprised that much mucus was hiding in my nasal passages.

I'm not even annoyed I had to wash my entire forearm in the sink. I'm actually kinda impressed.

'Running Man'

So I just re-watched "The Running Man" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fun action flick from the late 80's. It's got two fights in the first 5 minutes, so you know it's good. Not to mention his one-liners. (Saying a Bad Guy "Had to split" after cutting him in half? Priceless.)

Why hasn't Hollywood remade this gem? I'd actually like to see that., truth be told. It has a lot of themes that register with today's audience: reality shows, government 'control', spandex.

Who's with me? Who would like to see a "Running Man" remake?

Maybe I should lay off the Modern Warfare 2 before bed

Just fyi, playing Call of Duty, then going to bed and reading Harry Potter will give you some messed up dreams.

Geek Discussion Question

Sauron's One Ring of Power was a Horcrux.


Discuss.

(And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you should be ashamed of yourself.)

I am a snot monster

My allergies are hell-bent determined to end me. I had drowning dreams last night.

Have I lost my filter?

I've noticed over the past month or so that I have been chastised more than normal for saying something "inappropriate" in a conversation.


The thing is, it was still really funny and clever, and I didn't feel bad about any quip I uttered. Maybe I'm becoming more blase' in my old age.

Hammer time

For the third morning in a row I have been woken up by the sound of hammering. I can't tell what apartment it's coming from, but it sounds like they are bludgeoning their way into my bedroom from all sides. (It causes some whacked-out dreams, lemme tell you.)

The weird thing is that it stops around 9am. Could they not change their schedule around a bit to do whatever non-waking thing they do at 9am first, and save the hammering for after lunch? Does Bob Vila recommend the early hours as prime hammerin' time?

If it continues tomorrow, when the lawn care people usually mow (again, around 7:30/8:00am), it will be the perfect storm.

It always happens when no one is there

I just elbowed my Mt. Dew off of my desk, and caught it before it spilled or hit the ground. A true example of my ninja abilities, and not even the cats were around to witness it.

Taylor Swift Didn't Pay Attention in English Class

Below are the full lyrics to Taylor Swift's song "Love Story"

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Looking at how this love story ended, it's obvious that she didn't get past Act II. I still change the station when I hear this song, just because of that. Nothing to do with the melody, or her singing ability, or anything else.

I would prolly be more amenable to the song if there was one more verse about how they both died in a car accident or something. 

It's Better Than Yours

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. However, I don't have a yard, so I don't know where they are going.



 I also don't make milkshakes very often, so really the whole thing is moot.
