Iowa State Football

I must admit, I slept through most of the game because I felt like crap.  However, I did catch the last several minutes and all the highlights – it was quite the game.  I’m glad Iowa State won for the first time in 30 years – they did a good job and played decent.  I [...]

Alien

Ok, I just saw on AMC that tomorrow is the 30 year anniversary of the release of Alien.  How is that possible?? It came out the hear my son was born – I find that hard to believe.  Guess it explains why I didn’t actually see it until I was in my early twenties though…I [...]

The Serengeti

Just finished watching the documentary “Africa, The Serengeti” which was, obviously, about the animals of the Serengeti.  I certainly hope I get a opprotunity to visit Africa before I die – it looks like a most beautiful but brutal place.  In the film it had some crocodiles that were humungus…I’ve seen them this big at [...]

Ugly

Turned on a Columbo episode that came in the mail on Saturday and I must say, the male killer in this one is absolutely ugly.  His mouth is way too big – his whole face is poster material for a face lift that went terribly wrong.  When he smiles it looks like his skin is [...]

Julie and Julia

When we started out we were unsure what movie we both wanted to see.  I would have gone to GI Joe but my son had already seen it so I didn’t want to waste my money on going to it.  We discussed several options – there are a couple of scary movies out that looked [...]

Dammit

I was waiting until 3:30 am to switch the channel over to TNT to watch Law and Order.  I kept it on USA until exactly 3:30 according to my clock that, supposedly, automatically corrects it’s time every night at midnight.  I was diligent in not turning it a second early even.
However, after all that watching [...]

Beer, Tuna Salad, and As Good As it Gets

It is after 10pm and I just started thinking about what to have for supper.  So after much thought on the subject, it hit me – I wanted a tuna salad sandwich.
Now I’m not a big fan of tuna or sandwiches made with them but for some reason I just couldn’t talk myself out of [...]

Vacation

Well, got off at 3am this morning and came home. Managed to get some sleep though not much. Took the dogs for a short walk and ran to see the doctor. Nothing too exciting there.
Hung out at home, did a spot of cleaning but nothing too major really. Need to [...]

Four more days!!

Four more work days until vacation!  I know, why be so excited about a vacation that is going to be spent mostly at home?? Well, I don’t know exactly.  Maybe I can finish my latest attempt at a story.  I will spend more time with the dogs, get a tan, maybe go canoeing, plan on [...]

Proposal and Hangover

Went to both “The Proposal” and “The Hangover” this weekend with my younger sister. She came into town for our niece’s wedding so we wanted to hit a couple of movies together.
I must say, both movies were pretty funny – the first one more than the second but we laughed quite a bit [...]
