lots to post but my internet is toast. this is what you get when you get it free, eh?
I'll be back soon. cheers, mate.

I can't even wait to see this movie. I never really cared about the comic back in the day - seemed awfully stuffy - but the trailer peeked my interest and, after checking out the graphic novel a decade later, I'm sad that I missed it.





















Trailer:

Understand that if you remake one of my favorite horror movies ever then I am going to be a skeptic. it actually took me most of the day to decide if I liked this movie or not. the verdict? LOVED! it's so much fun that the glaring pot holes in the story are trifle! I actually jumped several times so there were some good scares. and Gory. oh my god Gory! how do you rip someone in half with a pick axe? you must see this in 3D. the scene where the guys jaw gets ripped off and flies at the screen is worth the price alone. So yeah - there's a pretty big cheat and the ending is not only wrong but plain silly...but So Much Fun!

when Jeff looks good then I look like a retard and vice versa. as these photos prove.

drunken midnight cheerleader pyramid? check!

it's true. Here's proof : Madonna looks 18 years younger. true, she may have just layed off the botox and started to eat real food.

but I'm tired and I'm going to bed. TTFN

spent the 1st 5 days at my sister's house in Inver grove heights.
the weather was bordering on ridiculous and nobody wanted to drive.
I watched a lot of movies. and ate. and slept. ran around one day shopping with mike. Finally got my pal Dave to drive me down to Iowa and we got to catch up.
hung out with my parents for a couple days. spent a couple evenings with Scott and Danny - drinking and listening to satchel and watching Barbarella. went out for bad Chinese with Mark's mom one day and helped her with her digital camera and a door for her new kitty, Sassy? on Christmas eve I watched the Andy Williams Christmas special with my Mom. slept a lot and ate a lot and spent too much time missing my boy.
back in Minneapolis on the 27Th for our family Christmas ( actually the 1st time we could get almost everyone together ). went record shopping with an old friend the next day. failed to meet up with Kyle and several others. Sad, but it's hard to fit veryone in when the family dominates. also, my sister's son had wrapped one of their cars around a telephone pole or something, so they were short a set of wheels for me. had a rough bumpy flight back to Seattle where I received the most amazing and squishy reunion of my life right there in the airport. spent some quality time catching up and then saw Dina Martina Tuesday night with Jeff, Jeni & Michael ( thanks, Jeni! ). my next trip home Will be shorter and more controlled. like I will rent a fucking car, ok? I cannot stand being at any one's mercy or having to rely on anyone, you know?
