CHI CHI CHI - HA HA HA

Posted by Timo |



I've wanted it for a while and I finally broke down and bought the friday the 13th boxset. I only contains the first 8 movies ( there were 3 others ) and it was fun watching a few of them again. it's funny ( or Sad ) how edited the versions on the set are. a lot of effects and gore I remember seeing on cable have been trimmed. I saw parts 5 and 8 in the theater as a teen. These weren't oscar winners by any strech but these are still a blast to watch. I still jumped a few times, too.

my mini reviews.
part 1: low budget and actually quite scary. twist ending. excellent kevin bacon death scene.

part 2: Lower budget sequel. lots of throat slashing.

part 3: in 3d!
the 3d doesn't help this stinker. the hockey mask arrives too late to save this worst entry.

part 4. the final chapter. corey feldman ask a freaky kid. pretty tame over all. cripsin glover dies. clearly no final chapter.


part 5. A new beginning.
this one's ok. suprise twist ending. or not.

part 6: Jason lives. this one is a fan favorite but I don't see why. same old. jason as super zombie. get's chained to the bottom of a lake.

part 7. the new blood. Telekinetic girl vs jason. A greta zombie jason but the telekinetic girl is dumb ( even though my friend mike loves this one ). it's a nice twist.

part 8. jason takes manhattan .jason on a crusie type ship. fun for it's different setting but the NYC ending ( actually ancouver Bc )( is pretty lame. Toxic waste? seriously.

( Other movies not included )

part 9. Jason goes to hell. jason is blown to bits and his soul jumps from body to body. Pretty awful in general.

part 10. Jason X.
jason in the future on a space ship. as dumb as it sounds but really fun and watchable. some great deaths and rather funny.

Jason VS Freddy.
A long time coming and worth the wait. great effects and a cool ending and great to see a destiny's child girl get killed.

spice up your life

Mel C is blocking the reunion of the Spice Girls, group's former manager, Simon Fuller, has claimed.

Fuller says they are planning to return "with a big bang," which will include a world tour but no new material.

However, Melanie "Sporty Spice" Chisholm is apparently uncertain about getting involved while she continues to pursue a solo career.

Fuller commented: "All of the girls are up for it and the reunion will definitely happen in the next 18 months. The only person showing any reluctance is Mel C. She thinks her solo career is bigger than the band, which is just not the case. She needs to wise up and realize a reunion would be amazing for everybody concerned.

"Emma [Bunton] and Geri [Halliwell] are meeting her soon to discuss everything and convince her to finally sign a deal."

Fuller suggested the return of the Spice Girls would not mirror that of fellow '90s U.K. pop stars Take That, which saw them claim a Brit Award ast week.

"They all lead very separate lives now," Fuller explained. Victoria [Beckham] is moving to L.A., Geri and Mel B go over and back to the States a lot, and Emma is pregnant, so a Take That-style comeback wouldn't be practical.

"The girls never wrote their own songs like [Take That's] Gary Barlow, so it wouldn't make sense for them to record a new album or anything. The Spice Girls will come back with a big bang; they'll do a whirlwind tour for six months and they'll be gone again, he told The London Standard.

your weekend update

Posted by Timo |

friday night I cleaned my apartment. it's so clean now that i would even let my mother come over.

saturday Malled and then went out to some bars with steve. manray, madison pub, cuff and such. we were experimenting with cabs and it was a success. getting to cap hill might have been harder but we nabbed a ride with bree, cali and jeni - who we then went to the broadway grill and had breakfast food and cocktails.

Sunday Hungover. lounged and then went to steve's for Oscar watching. I haven't seen any of the movies ( believe it or not ) but I'm glad the queen and pan's labyrinth won awards. Ellen was fun but stiffled.

Blah.

I had Molcajete for dinner at Azteca with hariette tonight. It's this sort of spicy broth soup with steak and veggies in it. out waiter was lame and failed to bring enough water to counteract the spice.

It's been a busy week and now our receptionist is on vacation and we were not allowed to get a temp so now we are all covering the front desk. I hate playing receptionist.
seriously. we all do, though.

last week i got my annual bonus so I did a little shopping.
a new digital camera, actually 2 as the first one sucked.
some dvd's and a few cds. Used, hello?
a really nice white dress shirt with faggy french cuffs.
a couple new south park figures for my display at work.
some work clothes, including a gorgeous silver tie that I failed to notice was by donald trump. SHAME ON ME! I cut the tags off as soon as i realized my error.
also some cats toys and a new brush for said cat.

I hardly spent any of it though. Tax return on the way, too. Having money stresses me out. seriously.

I still need to buy one of those airated water things for TB. maybe then she won't drink out of the toilet. probably not, though.

can someone tell me why she continues to sharpen her claws on my leather chairs even though she has not had claws in over 9 years? she has "phantom claws". maybe.

now she is attacking a box of sominex on the floor. she must be tired, too.

look at this picture of me and Bree, taken a few weekends ago. She knows how to pose. I look like a dork. No, I look like a sharpei. cute on dogs, not on tims.


I have too much skin or something. what the fuck is my neck doing? ( Please note the 18 year old siouxsie catwoman shirt )


I feel like I am wearing someone else's skin


Seriously. and that is a freaky fucking feeling.

INFRA MAN !

Posted by Timo |

when I was a kid in the late 70's a local theater would have cheap matinee's for kids during the summer. One of my favorites was INFRA MAN. it was hilarious super hero action badly dubbed into english.

It was only recently released on dvd 21 years after it's release.

Enjoy the trailer.

ROGUE STORY

Posted by Timo |






Rogue is a comic book heroine and part of the various Xmen comics and films. She is probably my favorite and has been since she appeared as a villain in an Avengers annual in 1981.
She’s mostly a bad ass although she was portrayed as a little wimp in the Xmen movies.

I have various action figures and dolls of her.

I have read Some of Mike’s and Kyle’s but haven’t bought any comic books since 1989.

Besides, there are like 10 different Xmen titles, storylines and universes now. Who the hell can keep up?

BLADE : TRINITY

Posted by Timo |




1. Movie poster
2. parker and Dominic
3. Ryan Reynolds
I finally watched Blade:Trinity. I’ve owned it for quite a while but never got around to watching it. I have to say I LOVED IT.
Ryan Reynolds steals the show as an Uber-Campy ( and frequently shirtless ) Vampire hunter with all the best lines.
"unlike most vampires, her fangs are in her vagina" and "you cock-juggling thundercunt!".

Parker Posey is great as Danika, Queen Vamp. Her posse digs up the original Dracula, Played quite well by the Very Manly man, Dominic Purcell. He’s probably the most strikingly handsome actor to ever play Dracula.

Anyway, it was a good time. “Blade” himself was more of a background character. Jessica Biel also stars as one of the Vampire hunting “Night Stalkers”.

Did I mention the vampire Pomeranian?

It’s definitely worth a rental.

twist

Posted by Timo |

last night I got home from work at 4:30. I have a terrible cold. and I'm taking various cold medicines.
the thyroid drug I am on cannot be mixed with other drugs other than asperin, advil, etc. SO, I am temporarily off the thyroid drug per doc's orders.

anyway, I was having terrible legs pains. freaky shooting pains. Called my doc and he told me that the drug could be mildly addictive ( I new this ) and my Body could be freaking out after 3 days off the drug. that is a little bit scary. I decided to go to the ER and get my levels checked, but by the time I got there and parked and everything, I felt fine. SO I went out with marika, Rachel and Bree and had a couple beers ( because that's what yopu should do when you have a cold. ) I met a girl ( jenny ) that was at the same creatures concert in chicago 1990 that me and pete went to.

and I was in bed by 11.

I feel ok today.
just a little stuffed up.

Even More of My Religious Intolerance

Posted by Timo |

"Prosecutors in Amsterdam said they would not take action against the singer Madonna over charges of alleged blasphemy during a concert tour in which she underwent a mock crucifixion. Young people belonging to the SGP, a small deeply conservative Protestant party, called for her to be prosecuted after she gave two concerts last September in Amsterdam during which she knelt and took off a crown of thorns while a crucifix was projected behind her. 'The pop singer Madonna will not be prosecuted for blasphemy and insulting faith,' the Amsterdam prosecutor's office said. The so-called crucifixion scene 'can lend itself to different interpretations,' the office said. 'The prosecutor's office believes that through her show, the singer on all the evidence tried to express her frustrations about certain situations in the world....it is not a question of contempt for God.' 'Furthermore, Madonna did not discredit Christians as a group.' The office said the plaintiffs could appeal."

It's a little ridiculous. I was led to believe that the Netherlands are rather progressive. Perhaps this is a case of being overly progressive and protective of minorities? Explain this to me, Christopher.

I probably shouldn't go there or I'll be arrested in the street.

I do wonder how long before this hits the states. Does "freedom of religion" include freedom from religion? Can someone sue me just because I disagree with thier belief system? many religious people ( and especially "christians" ) are the first to disparage other faiths and things they deem "lifestyles". Seems only fair they should be able to take it as well as dish out their bullshit.

making fun of crazy religious people is a God given right! ( pardon the pun...or don't )

Silly Sisters

Posted by Timo |



I recently read a Jake Shears quote where he said the latest scissor sisters album had tanked, bombed, etc.

it certainly doesn't help that their last single ( land of a 1000 words ) and their next single ( she's my man ) are the worst tracks on the album. Obviously, this is just my opinion. So, take it or leave it.

with their first album, they released 5 great singles. Hopefully, it's stupid record company politics that has them releasing such instead of stronger tracks like "kiss you off" and "the other side".Or even "I can't decide".

Silly Sisters.

RIP Anna Nicole Smith

Posted by Timo |


Through thick and thin, trainwreak after trainwreak, lawsuits and ultimate tragedy - I loved Anna Nicole Smith.
I was very sad when I heard that she had died. Although, it's not terribly suprising. It was verys ad when her young son died of drug related causes - so it would suprise me if her end was of the same sort.
Still, she was a good time. So dramatic. So scandalous.
When i was in college (year 2) - i met a girl named Cathy Jo Countryman. She idolized Anna Nicole Smith ( and the carpenters ). I don't know whatever became of Cathy Jo. I've haven't talked to her in 10 years. I've hunted the internet for her to no avail. I've called her mother and siblings, and they were crazy rude!
But that's besides the point.
Rest In peace, Anna Nicole.

Surely You have This Problem, Too?

Posted by Timo |



Randomly and not quite daily, a disney song will pop in my head. I want to blame my neice, Hannah. i spent many hours with her from when she was a wee lass watching the little mermaid, aladin, lion king, pocahontas, etc and the songs have become ingrained in my very wiring. I also blame my friend Mike, who had this bizarre Disney Song Dance mixes cd.

But also, when i was a wee tot, I had all these records that were short audio versions of the disney classics like cinderella, sleeping beauty, the lady and the tramp and 101 dalmations.

it's all some sort of fiendish mind control plot by Disney. it's programming. brain washing. Mid Control! because you bet your Ass I hunted down that disney Dance Mix Cd and Yes, I Do Play it quite often!

Stuck in my head all morning - "look at this trove..treasures Untold! How many wonders can one cavern hold?"

it bothers me

Posted by Timo |


















it bothers me that I have difficulty remembering names.

tonight it took me almost an hour to think of the name of someone I consider the great love of my life.

Often when I am speaking in front of people I cannot think of a cewrtain word. that word might be something like "umbrella". i can see it but I can't get the word.

I'm losing my mind.

I've become very forgetful.

and I'm extra crabby on this new medicine although i actually feel pretty good.

except my balance is all out of whack. so i keep walking into door frames. and I totally cracked my head on the roof of my car.

I've been sleeping better but tonight ( this mornimng ) I'm wide awake. it's 1:52 am.

it bothers me that I worry about money constantly. However, I do realize that even people with excessive amounts of money are probably also worring about it constantly. I'd like to not worry. I'd like to enjoy my greasy burger and onion rings at broiler bay with my work crew and not have to mentally take not of the state of my bank accounts.

it bothers me that i can't eat at night. like most people, I love food. I get ridiculous cravings at night and have to drink glass after glass of water to fill myself up. which keeps me running to the bathroom throughout the night.

it DOESN'T bother me that I have a sense of humour. I'm actually quite proud of myself that i haven't let my crazy thyroid thing DESTROY me like so many people I have met and read about.

the new drug i am on makes me a little dizzy but I feel pretty good. My three drug test counter parts are all having terrible migraines. i have had the migraines throughout this bullshit trip but not recently.

it bothers me that TanQ can fall asleep in mere moments and seems quite proud of it, especially when I am up at 1:59 am.





that is all.
