The 5 Favs

Everyone likes lists.  We list things even when we might not realize it.
I'm doing a bunch of random Top Ten Movies   Fav 5's over on the movie challenge blog.   Why am I only doing 5's?

Well Spudguns,  I sat down to do a top ten few weeks ago when I did the first round, and found ten too many but five was good.  That and any wrestling fan will tell you about the Fav 5's...

So far, I've done a top 5 vampires and a top 5 horror
The next will most likely be timed for the week of Valentines.  And I already have the next few floating around in my zombie eaten brain. Try for one a month.

I find it ironic and neat at the sametime, that my best post so far over there has been a post about a recipe that one movie inspired me to try to make.
Alright, today is day 60 in my movie challenge and I've even managed to get my mother to watch a movies without complaining.  That's amazing in itself. 

Well that just upset me

Gremlins.  I swear I have gremlins.

Things get put down in one spot, only to be popping up in another few hours later.  Lights that I know I turned off in a room suddenly being back on when I go back to the room.  Shoes that are scattered in the hallway when they are always lined up in pairs.

It's turning into one of those weeks.  

Officially started reading Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter for book club.   Cross your parts that the next book club meeting goes well.  Not till the end of February but still...

Mars is in retrograde from now until the middle of April.   Wonderful, like we didn't have enough dren.  I can't even begin to keep up with the astrology stuff right now.  Just seems I find out about one shift in the planets and the next day I've gotten emails about five more shifts and what they mean.  Not my area of expertise. Not at all.

Okay my Spudguns, since I need to have a bit of a positive thinking boost... going to listen to some music and have a large amount of chocolate.

Very Merry Unbirthday to Me

I got it in my zombie eaten brain that it would be a brilliant idea to pick up a few things on my way to the cinema today.
So here's me, trekking through the snowy city and not bothering to check the weather report before I left the house. I don't even want to know what the windchill was today cause I might cry.  Actually, it wasn't as bad as that, it was harsh winds that took my breath away few times but not really cold.
Movie started at 1:30pm, I grabbed an 11:25am bus thinking I had plenty of time to cart my arse over to the craft store then over to the mall before heading over to the cinema. 
Damned if I didn't stand in line at the craft store for close to 25minutes.  Then had to walk through the traffic to get to the mall.  The record store... I still call it that cause I'm old damn it!  the record store was surprisingly empty so I got out of there right quick.  Spent too much but hey happy un-birthday to me.  I bought Alice in Wonderland in case you didn't clue in, got Beauty and the Beast too cause I felt it was a Disney sort of afternoon.  Oh my god highway robbery on those damned cartoons!  Have you priced a frealing Disney DVD lately????   Then headed over to the tea place cause I'm addicted.  By this time it was 12:50pm and I'm thinking "oh I have plenty of time still before the movie"  
Good god man!  standing inline until 1:15pm.  Holy dren!  Then fight the damned traffic to get to the cinema which was only across the street.  Remember, I don't drive must walk everywhere.  So by this point I felt like my body was going to give out on me.  I get there with less then 8minutes to spare and the girl at the ticket counter screwed up on my ticket.  FREAL! Had to wait, and have I mentioned by this point my lungs hurt from the winds and my boot was nearly bursting the zipper from my foot and ankle swelling. Manage to just get in and find a seat as the opening credits started.
Must remind myself next time I want to do that much walking to do it in the summer when I do not need to be wearing heavy winter boots.
Oh, I went to see One for the Money  in case you were wondering. 

Dear TNA Jan 27th 2012

I am not happy with your editors.  I see that Impact has been posted on the Spike site in a very timely fashion, and as I was about to settle in to watch the X-Division match, I found a big big big issue.
Now, I admit I fast forward through anything that does not appeal to me but even in fast forward I know a bad editing job when I see one.
Once again, the first few minutes of the show was fine but then after the first break, it returns with 45 minutes worth of last week's episode.
This has been happening for months. Those of us who can only view the show online find we get maybe two weeks where everything is edited proper then two sometimes three weeks where large chunks of the episode are copies from the week before.
Get a frealing handle on this!  Dude, I ended up having to hunt the episode down on youtube and I only did so because of the X-Division match with Alex Shelley.  And since I was able to find the proper show that aired last night on youtube, that tells me it was the screw up of just the online editor.
So I'm just saying, whomever you've got working in the studio for the upload, they need to check their dren.

With a little song and dam-ce

So I was watching today's pick for the movie challenge, and laughing and singing along to the theme song.  Then could not get the damned song out of my zombie eaten brain. So I thought, I've yet to tie everything in on the movie challenge blog with any sort of video.

Wouldn't it be fun to do a song and dance number?   Was thinking it might be interesting to totally ham and egg it up ... er you know what I mean.
But before I could hunt for my badly distraught and overly ruined cheapie hallowe'en wig from a million years ago, which like everything else around here is buried somewhere in my apartment; I decided to hunt online for the theme song from the movie.

Hang on, this is where my brain sort of started to work, and I gave up any ideas of entertaining anyone or anything because of the whole copyright issue with being able to use a song like that so... no getting into costume or doing something retarded like I had planned.  Because it just would not have worked without that song. Cause it was suppose to tie the whole thing together... I am making sense really, honest.

Aren't you all lucky about that Eh?   I see you nodding and smirking Mr. Sabin, knowing you're blog reading is still safe from my stupidity... for the moment.  

Day Unknown

This is post number 938 or something on this here bloggy-blog, but since I have had days where I posted more then once, I can not tell you by my list of posts what number day it would be.

Have I confused you now?

Well my Spudguns... I'm up because of the neighbours. And we are in for a warm up today here, I already feel like my face is about to fall apart because of the sinus headache that won't let go.  Feels like a vice grip.

The movie challenge is coming along nicely.   Day 54 on there, just posted.  Have a few odds and ends for that floating around in the mush that is my zombie eaten brain.

Been working on the latest manuscript.  Fresh story, and all I have to say is that I pray it keeps on keeping on for a while.  But of course as always, seeing the X-Division getting a shot in the arm did in fact give me a blast of inspiration.  So all my love to TNA's  Alex Shelley and Austin Aries.  I might actually have to get that ppv in a few weeks...
And for those few wondering... just keep wondering.

That's the view from my sofa this morning.

Monday 3:40pm

Happy Chinese New Year!!
It's a Dragon year.   And I have not yet done my homework on what this year is suppose to mean.  I'm very behind this weekend on many of my responsibilities. 

I have however, caught up with my soap operas and am reading another Debbie Macomber novel.  I'm addicted to say the lest.

The movie a day stuff is coming along nicely... I am on Day 52 which makes us firmly in week 7 of the challenge.  Trudging along but sticking to it much to my mother's horror.
And if you're reading the movie blog then you know I actually made it out on the weekend to see Underworld 4 Awakening.    But in my laziness have not posted about it on the vampire blog.  I might wait for that until it's release in a few months on DVD. 

What else what else what else... Well my Spudguns, I think that is about it for the moment. 
Well that and the fact I have to hunt down the landlord and get him to do something about the mailboxes being broken.  There is something jamming the lock on it and the keys to the mailbox isnt working.  Thought it was just the other day when it was frozen, but seems there is something more serious disrupting it. 

deep breath.  Maybe I need to take up Yoga again????
