Instead of thinking about my cold/stress, I am going to concentrate on Jake and his über-cuteness today …
Hump Day Update
Oh, if only it really were a “Hump Day” for everyone … then maybe there wouldn’t be so much stress and sickness going on right now. Folks would be in their homes (hell, out in the streets would work too) humping away with someone and having the time of their life.
Yeah. That is a really silly statement.
Yeah. I am still sick with that cold and stressed out about “stuff.”
Things are slowly getting better.
The cold is slowly working it’s way out of my system. It’s taking so long, I think, because I haven’t been able to get any rest. That “rest” issue ties in with the “stress” issue.
Just a couple of days and the stress will be gone. (Thank you, Jebus!)
Tuesday Blah, Blah, Blahs
1. Still sick with sinus stuff. Damn cold won’t end.
2. Still in a pissy-foul-bitchy mood. What’s new?!?
3. Still sick with sinus stuff. Damn cold won’t end.
4. Still in a pissy-foul-bitchy mood. What’s new?!?
5. Repeat.
Weekend Update
It was a fucking shitty weekend. That is all.
Friday Blah, Blah, Blahs
Yup. It’s a Friday with a very busy weekend in store for yours truly.
Been battling a cold since last Sunday. Monday and Tuesday were really rough. I started feeling lots better Wednesday. But today it feels like ole Mr. Cold is gonna double back and slap me again. I am sure it doesn’t help that we went from 30 degree temps and snow on Sunday to 60 degrees and sunny yesterday. The temps are supposed to bottom out again tonight with a high in the 30’s tomorrow and snow. Yeesh.
An Indicator
And this is how I feel today … like Marilyn Burns being chased by a chainsaw wielding maniac.
Taking It Off
Yup. I have received the tacky stripper thong that I ordered to see if it would work for “The Full Monty” later this year. Oh, baby! Something tells me that this like piece of fabric is gonna keep some men from auditioning.
V-Day
Instead of fussing about being single on yet another Valentine’s Day … I would like to direct your attention to vday.org.
About V-Day:
V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sexual slavery.
Also, be sure to think about volunteering or making a donation to one of your local organizations working to stop domestic violence and sexual assault against women and girls.
London Calling!
Oh, Chris. I know that your new movie, “London,” has been getting raked over the coals by the critics. But, I don’t care! I’ll see it because it looks like you get some great acting oppotunities with the various sex scenes and that one of you in nothing but a towel. Yum!
Final Destination 3: A Mini-Review
Yes, it’s mindless. Yes, the story is very from the cookie cutter with some plot holes and major silliness. But what I can respect about a film like “Final Destination 3” is that it does what it promises. It kills off C-List teen actors in elaborate and satisfyingly gory ways.
The Story:
You should know it. Girl foresees a roller coaster accident and gets her friends off the ride. Of course, the coaster crashes meaning that the “survivors” have cheated Death. Well, he gets super pissed about being cheated and comes back to kill with a vengeance.
Yeah. If you saw the first and second film you know the drill. “FD3” strictly follows the formula set down by it predecessors. The roller coaster sequence is a highlight. Don’t know why, but I have always had a thing for amusement park ride induced mayhem. Each subsequent death scene get more elaborate (think Rube Goldberg) and messy. There seemed to be a lot of head trauma in this movie … from car motors to weight machines to nail guns. Yup. The final sequence is another huge set piece involving a subway car which I found to be a nice capper for the film.
I do find it interesting though that shit like “Hostel” (which promised more than it could deliver) gets praised and yet a film like “Final Destination 3” (which promises nothing) gets lambasted. Oh, well. I guess Glen Morgan and James Wong aren’t peddling their ass all over Hollywood like a certain Eli Roth seems to be doing.
Bottom Line:
Definitely not a “great” horror movie but it’s solid, mindless fare … especially if you in the mood to watch teens die (and die messy).
Aimee Mann: A Mini-Review
Yup. Braved the snow and messiness last night and saw Aimee Mann at The Peel. She was all “acoustic” this time around … performing with just acoustic guitar, bass and piano/keyboards. The show was a nice mix of songs from all her albums. The funniest part of the show was when she introduced “Save Me” (her song from “Magnolia” that was Oscar nominated) saying that she “can’t help but think of this song as the one that lost the Oscar to Phil Collins’ cartoon monkey love song.”
Again, she put on an excellent show.
Stripping Lesson
Guess what I now have on order to see if it will actually work for the finale of “The Full Monty.”
Mein Gott!!!
Yowza! My favorite Rock God and his band (Andrew Eldritch/The Sisters of Mercy) will be playing The Roxy in Atlanta on March 4th. Check and see if they are coming to a city near you.
