Some random thoughts...

from last Friday.

Quote of the day:
‘Better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.’
(Goodnight, Irene – Jan Burke)

Movie Review:
I saw part of the movie Dark Knight last night. I don’t get it? Unless you are like a ten year old boy or girl…What’s the appeal in a lot of blowing stuff up and killing people by blowing them up, or not in some cases. I’m pretty sure I won’t be seeing the sequel or the prequel. My ten year old nephew will be disappointed but I’ll be sitting this one out; he’s getting Dark Knight for Christmas but not from me.


Survivor: Gabon Earth’s Last Eden Finale:
How HOT is Corinne? And naughty, I mean nasty. Whatever. She is my new favorite person.

I don't like her hair in this picture but its the only picture I could find quickly. More on her and the season finale of my favorite show later.

Jill Bennett called ME a dumb ass!!!

Jill Bennett called me a Dumb Ass! I don’t think choosing not to vote in the presidential election makes me dumb or an ass. I made a conscious choice not to support any candidate at the polls because I didn’t like my choices. Why must I choose? I definitely believe my vote makes a difference which is why I didn’t cast it for someone I didn’t truly believe in.

I congratulate Barack Obama on his win and I hope he can make some positive changes by leading our country in a new direction. The way we have been headed really sucks!! Time will tell.

Dude! It's cold

Well, for Houston anyway. It snowed this afternoon like real flurries but nothing that stuck on the ground. The kind of snow that sticks on the ground and stuff almost never happens in Houston. In fact that only happened once in my life that I remember and we were not home. Ironically, we went to Colorado for a White Christmas. We made snow angels, went ice skating on a frozen pond on Christmas Eve and went skiing on Christmas Day. Memories...
This is me standing in the flurries. That lasted just long enough to snap off a few pics; then I got my ass back into the warm house.

I'm contemplating a name change; Not for me but for my blog. The current one doesn't really resonate with me anymore. Basically, I'm over it. But it was an improvement over the original title which turned out not to be so original.

TIVO -- Can I just tell you how much I love this invention? In fact I put it on my list of things I'm thankful for (is that bad?). I read Bridget McManus's blog this morning like I always do.
(My morning really sux when I awake to find there is no new Bridget blog to entertain me.)
Anyway, she is apparently attempting to cheer herself up by making a list of five things she has to be thankful for, so I have been thinking on this off and on all day in between my brief lectures on female reproduction (I was never so tired of talking about pussy -- maybe if I could use that word it would have been more fun). Anyway to make a long story drag on this is what I came up with at first. 1) the internet for introducing me to vlogs with hot lesbians I can daydream about
2)being able to control the heat/AC in my classroom 3) My electric blanket 4) living within walking distance to the grocery store 5) My Tivo In retrospect my list is maybe a bit shallow but that's what it looks like today. Tomorrow the possibilities are endless. Maybe I'll amend it. It's my list I can do that.

I'm off to watch Life.
Next time I might actually blog on one of my upcoming topics or NOT! Who knows?

Opossum Update!

It died. Apparently, according to Grandma it was malnourished. "Poor little thing."

All the neighbors came down the street for a viewing. I wasn't clear on whether this occurred before or after the passing of the opossum. What I do know is my Grandma was pleased because she became acquainted with some of the cul-de-sac neighbors she had not yet met.

Grandma moved to this area back in May. She misses all her old neighbors.

Random TV Show Stuff mostly

ELECTION DAY!
Vote NO! on Prop 8 (if you live in CA; Unfortunately, I don't yet.)

Dude on the radio just said what I have been thinking all day. "Nothing on tv tonight but election coverage. Looks like it's a DVR kind of night" I have some serious Army Wives catching up to do. I think I'm like five eps behind.

Ok, I jotted down like 5 pages of notes on stuff I have been watching. I'll do a quickie recap version here since I can't really read most of it or remember my own short hand.

Survivor: Gabon

I don't think in the history of this show has there been a team quite as clueless and idiotic as Fang (both versions). There was that one time in Survivor: Palau (with Steph & Bobbie Jon) where the team lost like every time; they sucked but they weren't idiots. They voted the right person off each time. Fang doesn't. They are seriously like the weakest and dumbest team ever. Moving on! Oh, I'm really liking Corinne still but I think it will be hilarious if Sugar manages to stay around awhile once they merge. She totally cracks me.

So I have a random quote from the week that Paloma got the boot: "I dislike so many people in this tribe that its a toss up." ~ Corinne (I heart her!)

Kath & Kim
Really? We are suppose to believe that Molly Shannon is Selma Blair's mother? I just can't get past that. I love both those actresses but really mother/daugther. Really? Plus I am not loving the show. I have already axed it from my tivo list after only two eps. I tried. I really tried.

Dexter

I love Dexter! I think a lot like Dexter but I don't kill people. Not for real anyway. Fantasies don't count, do they?

The episode two weeks ago called 'All in the family' was kind of different with an acting theme. I enjoyed it more than usual. Here are a couple of my favorite quotes from this episode:

"Still. There's something to be said for being a character actor. The lead players, with all those emotions. Must be exhausting."

"Most actors toll in obscurity never stepping into the spotlight, but if you hone your craft, work diligently; you might just find yourself in the role of a lifetime." Both quotes are from Dexter. Most of the other charactes rarely say anything worth repeating.

America's Next Top Model

I really do still like Elina but I really can't freakin' believe the judges kept her the last two weeks. I'm glad just surprised me as much as her. Analeigh is kind of growing on me too. I thought Clarke was gorgeous after the makeover, but then she kept opening her mouth. Sometimes pretty girls just shouldn't talk at all.
