Priming for a ghoulish weekend

City of Ember

Following the disaster of trying to see City of Ember on Friday, Moonlet and I tried again Sunday.  This is what we got:   That really is about as exciting as 99% of the movie got.  The action scene at the end lasts about ten seconds.  This folks, is NOT what you want to take a fidgety five year old boy… (more…)

High School Musical 3

Friday night kinda got screwed up for me.  I had decided I wanted to see City of Ember with the boy.  I was kind of leary of this decision, but there was nothing else on for a kid here other than High School Musical 3, which I absolutely did not want to see at all.  Going back as far as… (more…)

Those wild and crazy pageant gals, Lindsey Evans edition

Now, check this out:   That is Miss TEEN Louisiana, Lindsey Evans.  Apparently barely old enough to vote, she’s already gotten out of control as the rush of a pageant title has gone to her head.  Now, not quite on the scale of Miss Nevada Katie Rees, or our local favorite, Tara Conner, Lindsey is already racking up impressive numbers… (more…)

The Lone Ranger

Got this via email from MIndo, thought you all would enjoy it: The Lone Ranger is captured by Indians…  The Indian Chief proclaims, ‘So, you are the great Lone Ranger. In honor of the Harvest Festival, you will be Executed in three Days But, before I kill you, I will grant you three Requests.  What is your first request?’  The Lone Ranger responds, ‘I’d… (more…)

Bad Daddy: The Pumpkin Pie episde

School teaches children many wonderful things.  Sometimes, however, they teach small impressionable children things that parents really don’t need them to know.  In this case, that pumpkin pie comes from real live pumpkins.  This caused me issues. Moonlet came home from school with a tiny pumpkin they got to pick out of a local pumpkin patch.  He informed me it… (more…)

Brian Eno in Somerset, KY?

Got this news on Myspace today: Cool beans huh!  Brian Eno is coming to Somerset, Kentucky! OK, for the record, he’s not coming to rural Kentucky.  He’s coming to Knoxville, Tennessee.  That’s not too far from here.  But, it made for a good chuckle for me.  I’d can imagine Brian Eno passing time in rural Kentucky.  Somehow I just don’t… (more…)

Sometimes I wonder…..

Can anyone explain this? You’ll never party this hard. (from CollegeHumor)

Tara Reid being Tara Reid

Tara Reid won’t go back to acting until the strike is over.  No one is quite sure what strike that is.  The writers’ strike ended about six months ago.  She thinks she’s been watching re-runs and previously recorded shows since then.  think twice about entertainers gving advice on who to vote for  The upside of her stand is I get… (more…)

Kentucky’s breakthrough new uniform

  I’m ok with the uniforms for the most part.  The checkerboard is pretty neat.  I don’t really like the “K” in the name tho, doesn’t really stick out like the other letters.  However, I probably enjoyed the description of the breakthrough fabric it’s made of: Nike, the company that gave the athletic world its ever-present swoosh logo, supplied the… (more…)
