Yes Indeed It's Fun Time...
So it’s hard to keep yourself sane while you are looking for a job. Somedays I do a good job, others not so much. So what I thought I’d do is give you all a list of all the things that I’m having fun with right now. After all, talking about the fun stuff is much better than just venting about the annoying things, and you want to be one of the kool kids right?
Music
Underwear Goes Inside The Pants – Lazyboy.
This is a truly unique spoken word/electronic/humor song that I just can’t seem to get enough of.
Memorable Line:
Do you know what the number one health risk in America is?
Obesity. They say we're in the middle of an obesity epidemic.
An epidemic like it is polio. Like we'll be telling our grand kids about it one day. The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004.
"How'd you get through it grandpa?"
"Oh, it was horrible Johnny, there was cheesecake and pork chops everywhere."
Movies To See This Spring
The Upside of Anger
This movie doesn’t come out until March but I saw it about a year ago. This is just a great film. Kevin Costner plays a retired baseball player living in suburban Detroit and he ends up getting involved with the Joan Allen after her husband leaves her. Just a sweet movie. By far the best advanced screening that I have seen. Of course it doesn’t really have much competition from “The Girl Next Door”, “Anchorman” or “First Daughter”.
Honorable Mention
In Her Shoes
This was probably the second best screening I’ve been to. Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette are good in this film, but it is Shirley MacLaine that really steals the show.
Movie I’m Watching Now
Hellboy
Whether you are a fan of comic book movies or not, this is just a great flick. It is everything that superhero movies should be, which in turn makes it everything that Catwoman and Elektra were not. You can tell that the director was a genuine fan of the comic and this passion translates into a story that is well crafted and respectful of Hellboy comic lore. Of course I only know this from people that I have talked to about the series. I was never into Hellboy as it came out after I stopped collecting comics. Oddly enough, that was about the same time I started dating regularly, coincidence? Nahhh.
Plus, Ron Perlman is just brilliant as the title character. Some may remember him from the Beauty and the Beast television show back in the 80’s but I don’t have that clear a memory of that. I was WAY to preoccupied worrying about whether GI Joe was going to beat Cobra at that time.
Television
American Dad
Now I am a HUGE fan of cartoons. I just can’t get enough of them. This is the new series from the creator of Family Guy so needless to say, I am SOOOOOO excited.
Internet
awfulplasticsurgery.com
I am not usually a celebrity whore, but this site is just too much. I really don’t understand the whole plastic surgery phenomena. I understand that the stars live and die by their image, but the success rate on this stuff is so low. Most of the people that have work done end up looking even worse than they ever would without it, and then have to have even more to compensate. Be who you are, age gracefully and move on with life.

Blogging, blogging in a blogging pool! That platic surgery site is gross! I am glad to see that you are enjoying Hellboy.
Laytuh
And you've really got to hate Duke. What a life: Scarlet or Mary Jane. I say Cobra-LALALALALALAL!
-B.
I TOTALLY hated Duke... which is why Bry and I always wrapped his parachute too tight to actually open :) Member that B? I was always more of a Flint or a LT Falcon type of guy. They were the unsung heros of GI Joe :)
I had totally forgotten about Cobra LA... and that was probably a good thing. The only cool part was the Nemisis Enforcer, but his coolness was not enough to make up for the collective lameness of the rest of the group.
