I just finished watching the new movie by Bobcat Goldthwaite called Worlds Greatest Dad starring Robin Williams.  Premise is a high school poetry teacher's goal, Williams, is to be a published writer.  Nothing he's written has been published, his teen-aged son, hates him & everything but European hardcore porn.  Robin's girlfriend, a fellow teacher, seems to be what I call a "buckle bunny".  This is like a rock groupie.  While trying to live his life, he deals with his son, his girlfriend & the rejection of life.  His son ends up accidentally killing himself thru auto-erotic asphyxiation.  Robin finds him & writes a suicide notes.  His life spirals out of control from this point.  Overall, I enjoyed the movie but a tad depressing.  Another dark movie with Robin. 
Made me start thinking again.  Something Bobcat wrote basically about how nobody really knows us.  How we all want to be accepted.  How people make us feel alone.  We all feel this way at times, even while surrounded by others.  If you've ever read any of my blogs before, you know my mindset over the last year or so.  I still have moments where I think of writing the "great manifesto" about my insights & how everyone's an asshole & if they only knew the "real" me then I wouldn't be dead.
I'm going to bed now, hopefully dream about something else.

Here it is, almost midnight on Saturday & I'm home again watching bad movies.
Work week was pretty much status quo:  Gather info & put it together for shoots, Input data.
Went to Misty's karoke (sp?) on Tuesday.  I dont sing in public but it was pretty fun critiquing people's horrible singing & hanging out.  I had a Boddington's beer.  Pricey.  $4.50 + tip.  I was able to save the evening's activities by figuring out someone had plugged the music into the wrong channel.
Played taxi for 3 different people. 
Played with the dogs.
Watching bad movies.  Oasis of the Zombies.  Regina Price Affair.  Terminal Island.  Watched several others but dont remember them off the top of my head.  I'm downloading some Chinese flick now-Trilogy of Lust.
Think I'll get some ice cream now.

I get up this morning & my dog Stripes, had shit in the kitchen overnight.  He's been doing this at least twice a week for the last couple.  It's really getting to the point where I dont want to leave him at home.  He's done it during the day too even after walking him for 20 mins or so in the morning.  Then, I have to go to work.  I get it.  It's called work, not fun.  I have to walk almost 2 blocks to get to my truck.  Wha wha wha, what's the big deal?  I have a bad hip & walking hurts.  I'm having to take all of my data-bases & combine them in a new program, which none are compatable with.  So, I'm having to input all this stuff together.  Yesterday, I bought a dozen donuts & took them to work.  Also bought 2-1/2 gallons of chocolate milk.  I come in this morning, the donuts are gone & so are one of the milk's.  Turns out, this guy who sometimes works in my office, came in last night to do some work.  Said he was hungry & was only there for a couple of hours.  He ate 10 donuts, my milk & a family sized bag of chips.  He "didn't know that the food wasn't communal" & didn't have time to have dinner.  "Worked" from 6-8 pm.  There's a fuckin' McDonalds right across the street.  Instead of saying that he'll reimburse me or replace my stuff, he said "don't leave it out if it's not for everyone".  It's my fault my stuff was eaten by him, not his fat ass.  I know it sounds petty.  All he had to do was apologize or anything other than it's my fault. 
Right before leaving to come home, I get a call from the apartment complex telling me I dont have the required insurance, which I've been paying $40/month for.  I contact the insurance company & they told me it was canceled in March for non-payment.  I had been paying them in cash @ their office or by money order.  I dont always keep receipts so now I either have to find these or pay for some half-assed insurance thru the complex which doesn't cover my property, just their's. 
At my work, we have an Ethiopian market a few doors down.  Most of their patrons drive cabs.  These guys tear thru the parking lot & park right up next to my truck so there are days I cant get in my truck without going down there & bitching.  I'm tired of this crap.  I've had close calls in the lot as recent as Monday. 
Now, I'm watching "Terminator, the Sarah Connor Chronicals, s1"  It was a good series.  Just a question tho, in the 4 movies prior to this, we learned that bullets do not stop these machines.  Why do they keep using small calibre weapons to try & stop them? Rifled deer slugs, .50 cal, i.e.d.'s something.  Now, I'm just ranting to rant.

Ok, seriously, how many times are they going to bring this character back?  I bought this because somebody expressed interest in it & I thought, "hey, why not"?  Douchbag characters, d-level actors, a few big-titted women who have to get topless & lot's of blood.
This one makes Jason a hunter, a real person who lives off the land.  I've always thought horror flicks were retarded, but this one really is.  Waste of time & money.

Recently, I gave a couple of friends "massage toys".  One has been bugging me for awhile since the last one I gave her she burned up.  I'm just curious, how many other people use them.  Some swear by them.  Others swear it takes away from their one on one time.  A few others have told me their mates feel emasculated.  One buddy bought a 10" that was the size of a mag-lite for his wife (4 c batteries).  He got jealous & destroyed it.  Alright, go have fun & see ya.

I had been looking for this dvd for the past 2 weeks & to no avail until today.  I really enjoyed it.  I didn't see the it the first time.  Kristen Bell in the Leia slave outfit IS wonderful.  The cameos were great (missing Gil Gerard-Buck Rogers).  Wars fans v. Trekkers.  Getting to kiss Carrie Fisher (Leia to those who didn't know).
I get the whole concept of the movie.  Wanting to see Skywalker ranch, meet George Lucas, be an extra in one of the movies (not going to happen), have an action figure with my likeness.  I've been a Star Wars fan since I first saw it in 1977 at the movie theater in Circleville, OH.  I've seen Episode 4 probably 100 times since then.  Laserdisc, VHS, DVD, theater.  I've read all the books.  I've been to the midnight showings.  As a child, I waited in line for hours waiting to get in.  The only thing I refuse to do is wear a costume.  Going to Skywalker ranch has been a dream.  (I have a life-sized Darth Vader cut-out).
This movie will be one to watch over again.  Besides being a buddy movie, it's something that every geek can relate to.  I've had many of the conversations from this movie with my friends. 
Go go go go go go go get this movie & enjoy.  5 cigars.

The tv show on Sci-Fi, not "Oh My God!".  This is one of tv's greatest shows.  Mostly.  HATED the product placement last season.  You can place bill boards everywhere, soda machines on every corner, etc.  I'm NOT going to buy your deodorant because you have cases of it everywhere.  I wear what I want, eat what I want & rarely am I swayed by what I see on tv.  I may try a new restaurant but that's about the extent of it.  I"m not buying a car based on an ad.  I'm not going to try a new flavor of a soda or chip or sandwich if it's not something that I already like. 
Enough ramblings there. 
I still love the show overall.  The chemistry between the characters feels like they've grown up together.  The comedy, science & cg are a joy to watch.  It comes back for a 4th season in July. 
Yeah, I'm watching S2 on dvd right now.

Sunday, I went to Roosters for dinner.  When I go out by myself to eat, I bring a book.  I brought "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman.  Yes, I've seen the movie several dozen times since 1989 & I can pretty much quote the whole movie.  I have a few copies of it on dvd & 3 t-shirts from it.  My server started busting on me about reading a "chick" book.  I tried explaining to her how it wasn't.  Fencing, fighting, pirates, fire swamp, the shrieking eels & yes, true love.  Then she went on to tell me she'd never seen the movie.  I was shocked.  I polled a few other people there & they hadn't seen it either.  How is that possible?  Granted, they were probably not born when it came out but jeez, it's available on dvd for $8 at Wal-Mart (the basic version).  I can understand not knowing about some things, I know I dont know a lot.  Only in the grand scheme of things.  Ego popping up.  Some things need to be shared with the world.  This movie & book need to be. 
Share your thoughts on what you think needs shared.  Doesn't have to be movies.

Forgot.  Got a text message from my brother in law last week (I didn't know I had one at the time) telling me he just married my little sister in Hawaii & was going to a party.  She texted me saying she's happy.  Guess that's all that matters.

So I'm sitting here watching "Californication S1".  David "Hank Moody" Duchovny is a writer with the constant problem of too many women & no substantial relationship material.  His job is writing a blog for his ex's fiance's magazine. 
Made me think, why do people blog all the time?  I do this to see if anyone cares.  I'm pretty sure there's a couple of people who are gonna read & post back.  Probably Heather & Lauri & possibly Kitten. 
So today at work, I was having a decent day, nothing great, but ok.  I got a call from yet another telemarketer from some online yellow pages place.  I've been nice in the past & after getting 10 or so calls from them a week, I've asked them to remove us from their call lists.  This shit-head from India after I asked him to remove us-yet again, asked why?  I gave him reasons.  He kept asking why.  So I hung up on him after telling him again to remove us.  He called back.  Now, my boss is a sweet 64 yr old lady who started christian tv in ohio over 30 yrs ago.  She was there.  I ended up calling him a fucking dick & shit for brains & a douche bag.  Then hung up on him again.  Pissed me off for quite a while.  She just told me to relax & let it go.  I have a problem with people not taking me at my word.  Oh well.  I guess I'll go now & do something constructive.  Play with the dogs or something.
