This stunning song and video by the McCain Girls (sung to the tune of the Eurythmics “Here Comes The Rain Again”) has convinced me who I need to vote for. John McCain for President!!!

Post “Bat Boy”
“Bat Boy: The Musical” is now dead, done, finished. And that really about all I have to say right now. Brain power is currently low.
Another Statement
You all have a good weekend ’cause I am now officially in a “mood.”
Guilty, Guilty, Guilty
The new Diamanda Galás album “Guilty, Guilty, Guilty” is now out in stores. You should check it ’cause it’s quite fantastic. I really want to see her live sometime. Maybe in August in New York City … maybe.
Friday Statement
I am trying very hard not to be paranoid about the printed word (or non-printed is more like it).
Going Blu!
Here it is … High Definition (1080!) Gay Porn courtesy of Titan Media! Now we’ll be able to experience the joy of really being able to see all that stubble on those manscaped bodies!!! Thrill to watching every single drop of spray during those massive cum shots!!! We’ll be able to count every single vein on our favorites model’s engorged manhood!!! See every single bead of sweat they work up while engaged in that hot man on man action!!! We can even count their nose hairs if the camera angle is just right!!! Hot Dang!!!
Last Night
I mowed my yard. Yeah … it’s that time of year again. The weekly task that I hate, hate, hate so much will now be a constant until October. I will admit thought that it was nice to be out and about in the yard doing stuff. I have become way too lazy over the last year.
The poor young Red Maple tree in the back yard does seem to be on it’s last legs. That severe freeze we had late last spring seems to have killed it. All the limbs are brittle and dead so I snapped a bunch of them off. There are a couple of places where you can see some new growth coming out of the trunk but they are woefully few. I am so stupid about plants and trees (having always had a black thumb in that department).
I check the oil level for the furnace and was surprise to discover just how much I have left. Happiness is an insulated house.
Wasn’t this just the most exciting post ever?
This Month!
It’s now April and that means that the next volume of “The Complete Peanuts” will be dropping into stores! “The Complete Peanuts: 1967-1968” is Volume Nine of the 25 Volume set.
Scary thing to think about is that it will be 2016 when Volume 25 of “The Complete Peanuts” is published and I will be 45 years old.
The Mist
Stephen King stories very rarely adapt well into major motion pictures. The man with the most success has been Frank Darabont (“The Shawshank Redemption and “The Green Mile”). And now he has tackled “The Mist,” a favorite novella amongst King fans.
Well, he has pulled it off in spades … in my humble opinion.
Darabont’s screenplay sticks very close to the source material up until the final moments. We are given a movie that has equal parts nasty monsters and nasty human monsters. I am not even gonna touch the plot here. I don’t want to spoil anything for those not familiar with the original novella. Let’s just say there are some great, great set pieces … the loading dock, outside exploration, the first night, the pharmacy and the escape. There are so many tense and scary moments in this movie. The tension is helped by Darabont’s decision to shoot the film in a hand-held documentary style. It just keeps building and building until you hit a resolution (added to the story by Darabont with King’s blessing) that is so incredibly bleak you really have to see it to believe it. I suspect that the resolution is gonna be the make or break for most people watching “The Mist.”
Marcia Gay Harden rocks the movie with her portrayal of religious nut Mrs. Carmody. Thomas Jane does a pretty nice job as the story’s protagonist David Drayton. The rest of the cast is rounded out by some really solid performances by Laurie Holden, Nathan Gamble, Frances Sternhagen (yes!), Andre Braugher, Toby Jones and William Sadler.
I really do regret that I didn’t see this one on the big screen last year. I can only imagine that it was even scarier in a darkened theater … as opposed to my living room couch with my 42″ flat panel. Oh well.
I highly recommend that you get wrapped up in “The Mist.”
In Dreams: Water Edition
I have been having quite a few dreams about rivers and waterfalls lately. All of them have been extremely vivid and have contained some element of danger.
My dream last night was about this river that I had hiked a trail that runs along beside it … I had hiked this trail once long ago and was doing it again. At one point I had to cross the rushing water and it was deep. I was very concerned about getting my pack wet because I had my laptop in it. While crossing the river I almost get swept away in the current. I continue the hike and come to a popular tourist spot where there are two huge water waterfall (one a traditional waterfall with lots of rocky ledges and the other just a straight, sheer drop off). The river feeds these waterfalls and also bypasses them by continuing on through this chute of water. Now I am in the water and riding down through the chute and watching all the tourists behaving dangerously along the top of the waterfall with the sheer drop. Eventually I come to a place where there are lots of trees overhanging the river and it forks in a few directions creating several islands amongst the trees. Nestled here is some sort of exclusive camp with wooden huts. A Woman is in charge of this camp. People are staying there and I meet with this fella who is also a fellow traveler. I am there for a while but somehow realize that the Woman who runs the place is bad and intent on doing harm to all the folks staying there. The Fellow Traveler, myself and a couple of others decide to make an escape. We make a break for it and then realize that the Woman is coming after us with two Henchmen. Then we are in a car traveling on a road that runs beside the river. The Woman and her Henchmen are in a car behind us. The Fellow Traveler states that he’s had a vision of how we can knock the Woman’s car into the river and kill her and her Henchmen. We can dump them into the river and the car will overturn and thus stop them chasing us.
That’s when I woke up.
It’s Official: I Am Crazy
You remember that little incident a couple of weeks ago where I thought the Evil One was stalking me? Well, I was down at the theater last night and it turns out that a fella that’s in the next show that is going up has a vehicle that looks almost exactly like Evil’s. Mystery solved then I guess.
Manic Monday
Busy here at work and also not feeling the greatest either. “Bat Boy” seemed to go pretty well. The opening night audiences was enthusiastic. The most common statement about the production seemed to be “This has to be the weirdest show I have ever seen.” It will be interesting to see how this coming weekend sell.
“Bat Boy” Opens Tonight!!!
Final Dress went pretty well last night and now all I can is that Dr. Parker is soooooo happy that we finally open this bad boy …. tonight. He’s so that happy that he got photographed trying to disco dance during one of the scenes. Personally, I can’t wait to have that celebratory beer after the show tonight!
