920 Happy New Year

As we head into 2012 my dear Spudguns,  I have this thought for you...

If the classic recipe for mayonnaise is made from eggs,  and if the classic recipe for both egg salad and deviled eggs has mayonnaise in it; then we are just putting eggs ontop of eggs. 

Happy New Year,  see you on the B-side.

Yes I know, I really need to update my photos and my clip art...it's on the TO DO LIST for 2012

Ah the good old days when dance offs were still innocent.

I just finished watching and posting today's movie on the movie a day blog  ...  Psycho Beach Party
It's been years since I watched this one.   I'd forgotten just how funny it was... and how much sex and violence was in it.  Damn, sex good violence not so much.

And if you're not reading that blog, then you're missing out on the lessons I have been learning from each movie.   Which is one of the points to the experiment.  Some are uber serious and others are as silly as string. 

This movie made me long for the original Gidget film.   *sigh* Oh Moondoggie....

One of the good things about the movie a day challenge is that it's forcing me to dig through my library and dust off some of my impulse buys.  Like today.  I watched a DVD that I think I saw half of once before. It was a case of "I bought this why? Oh right clearance for $2"
The pick of the day started off really good but about 45minutes into it I found myself pausing every few minutes to make coffee, check emails, make lunch.  It took me almost 3 hours to watch a 85minute film.
At the end of the year, I might see myself rethinking the sentimental value of some of my collection... maybe.

The weather here today can't seem to make up it's mind.  It's snowing -flurries- with a -12c. 

As I just posted on my year long project... I was reading some astrology newsletters I get and the planet Jupiter has just turned direct after months of being in a retro motion.   This is suppose to open up blockages that has been holding back projects since Aug. 

Well, that's the news from my sofa this afternoon.

Ever listen to something from your childhood and wonder about the lyrics?
I grew up with the movies Grease and Grease 2.  The soundtrack for the first movie was always in someone's collection in one form or another.
I was just listening to the song "Greased Lightening"  and was thinking how growing up that scene and that song were just the coolest part of the movie.  

 Now,  I find the lyrics almost embarrassing to sing.   And when I sit down and think about the soundtrack and the movie all these decades later, I understand why so many of the kids I went to school with had copies of it hidden in lockers at school.  Understand why it only came on late night after 9pm on tv -even with a tv edit-  things that sometimes just go over your head when your a kid. 

916 Boxing Day

I used screen capture for this post

I think I hit a bit of a wall with my movie a day challenge.   I still have to pick a movie for tonight and it's already after supper time.

All I want to do today is watch an old X Division match between Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin from a few years back on one of the Genesis ppv - conveniently located on the Best of the MMG/BMI set-  and I don't think I can get away calling that match a movie, even though there is high drama massive action and ... sorry am I drooling on the keyboard again?   Been awhile since I did the silly posts and praised the MotorCityMachine Guns!  

I realized I hadn't talked about them on here since June.  That's like... hang on have to do the math... 6 and a half months.  Holy Anne Rice Novels Batman!   What's going on here????

P.S. I have to remember not be be trying to watch the dvd when I'm cooking,  I get so damned distracted.

915 Saturday 24th

I am exactly three weeks into my movie a day challenge. And I'm feeling it.  Have I bitten off more then I can chew here?
Damn, I hope not.  I still do not have a header banner for it either to say the lest. 

New Moon tonight.   The moon-moon,  not a movie title.  And we're in the zodiac of Capricorn too for anyone keeping score with the astrology. 

I've got about 6 books on the go with no ability to keep up with any of them right now. 

Hope everyone of my Spudguns are having a safe weekend.

914 Friday the 23rd

Since when did Blogger change the way the profiles are laid out?   I was reading a few other blogs, and when I hit their profiles it was just... blah.  don't care for the new lay out at all.  Just a large page with no character to them.   I thought at first it was just the computer acting up, but I checked my own and same icky thing. 

Anyone else having one of those all I want to do is sleep days?   Having one of those today full force, can't seem to stop yawning today. 

Snowing here. 
For anyone following my movie a day blog,  today is day 21 on there. 
God, I really hate the holidays.
