This is the best the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee can do? Rip off Drudge's style sheet and practice smear politices? What a bunch of losers.

The Cavern

SarahK warned me. Did I listen? Nah. I got The Cavern from Netflix and watched it. Does it make my worse movies ever list? Close but not quite.

A perfect example of a movie whose director spent too much time watching The Blair Witch Project. Lots of shakey cameras, flash lighting, and crying. Toss in a monster (or something like it) and you get this movie.

It could have been much better. Just a bit more plot development and less of the stupid effects and this could have been a decent movie. Well - except the ending stunk.

2996

This the name of D.Challener Roe's project to honor the victims of 9/11. He needs volunteers to help. 2996 of them to be exact.

Please go visit and volunteer. Join me and over a thousand others in this worthwhile project.

Never mind the fact that she has never been (and IMO never will be) President of the United States... Ewwwwwwwwwwww

This looks like fun

I'd like to have one of those...

Back to work

After almost 3 weeks off I'm back to work. That alarm clock wasn't very nice this morning.

On the other hand I had a bonus check and the Winternals Administrators Pack waiting for me!

AMD and ATI merging?

Interesting. What will Nvidia do as there NForce4 chipset for AMD is what you want to run.

A little bit more at Extended64.

Update:More at AMD

Side effects

Thing1 and I love adding on our own side effects when a drug commercial is on TV. Not as good as FloraFlor but we're getting there.

We were watching the Miss Universe contest during the swimsuit event (Go USA, Sweden, and Denmark!) and there was a commercial on for a sleep aid. One of the side effects was drowsiness.

Duh!

Bad Movies

We've all seen at least one. A movie that was either so bad that you couldn't make it the whole way through or you watched the whole thing waiting for something good to happen.

SarahK, who's now over the hill, has a post about a movie her sister-in-law worked on.

That led me to think of my list of bad movies. In no particular order:

Reds
The Thin Red Line
Chicago
Moulon Rouge
Lethal Weapon 4
Napolen Dynamite

I'm sure more will come to me later.

Where do those stairs go?

They go up!

Watching Ghostbusters. First saw it in 1984 at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles after a wedding. Such fun!

Clueless

Watching the start of the Pennsylvania 500 on TNT. There is a flight of A-10 Warthogs doing the flyover. The graphic states they are from Davis Monthan AFB in New Mexico. The wife starts to laugh. When she was in college in Tucson, Arizona they were in the landing pattern for Davis Monthan. Close TNT but not quite right.

A Little Storm

The wife and Thing2 were at a wedding shower at Church. Thing1 was sitting there watching the CFL and I was just doing nothing. Had a little thunder and then some big drops. The wife and Thing2 walk in and the hail starts. And lots of rain. The hail was only pea sized but it stuck for a while.





The rain came down really fast. Water was flowing down our street to the main street and overflowing the storm drain. Cars drove through - some slow



And some not so slow.



The wave must be 8 to 10 feet tall. Somewhere under there is a car.

And it wasn't supposed to rain today...

Waiting in line isn't so bad after being punched in the face

Dane Cook live on DVD talking about the DMV.

The DVD is a little raw but really funny.

An evening at the Fair

The wife decided a few weeks back that we should go to the fair. Ok - I've never been to a county fair and I was still on vacation so off we went.

There was the usual chickens and roosters, pigs and cows, horses and elephants.

Yes - elephants. A African and a Indian. Very well mannered and trained.





Couldn't talk Thing2 into a ride after this.

There was a real reason we were here. His name was Trace Adkins. Both the wife and her sister are huge fans so the wife bought tickets (8th row) for all of us. My sister-in-law drove up from Hammond with her husband just for the show. Nice thing about the field we were in - it was mud. We've gotten a lot of rain the past few days so the fair organizers had put mulch down to that were aisles to walk in. Didn't help the seating that much.

Trace puts on a pretty good show. Mixes it up quite a bit tossing in some blues and classic rock tunes (imagine songs from Foreigner). The crowd got real quiet during Arlington. Very powerful song. He followed that up with a new song that is just as patriotic.







Everyone (even Thing1 and 2) seemed to like it. This was part of a bargain for Thing2 - she and the wife are going to see Jesse McCartney next weekend at the DuPage County Fair. Me and Thing1? We'll be eating pizza.
