A few things- the movie Bubba Ho-Tep is a nice concept, and it sounds funny on paper, but it's way too slow, most of the jokes are just vulgar and unfunny, and when the plot actually gets going, the movie ends right after. They could have cut the first 40 minutes, but then it would have been a half hour movie. Maybe it should have stayed a short story (the film is adapated from a short story) and not a full length film. I did laugh when Ossie Davis (a nut who thinks he's a black JFK- the CIA dyed him black to hide him in '63) asked Elvis if he wanted a ding dong...and Elvis looks down at him like he's nuts...Overall, a good idea- but terribly drawn out and slow. Then again, there were naked egyptian babes (out of nowhere and for no reason)- so, I guess it's not all bad.
The power was out all night last night (Sunday night), and that nearly drove me insane...It was so dark, nothing to do, couldn't sleep, kept waiting for the power to come on any minute- finally it did at about 5:30 AM I guess? I left the house at one point and drove around a bit, and I passed one of the trucks, pointing this big light on the side of the truck all over the lines on the poles, looking for I have no idea what? It would seem they would have it all connected to some system that would show exactly where a downed line is or whatever. No idea how they do all of that. Work was a bit crazy as well, since I had to send out ten thousand alerts, dealt with the transmitter going down- which means the emergency phone was ringing off the hook with the transmitter computer, all the networks went down at one point, so I was sitting on a still store that said 'network difficulties, please stand by.' Somewhat hectic.
I was off today, but I didn't do much of anything, besides sit around, watch TV, finished organizing some of the tv shows on tapes...pretty boring. I work tomorrow at 7:30 AM. I got Sundays off- well, the next 3 Sundays while I work Mon- Sat, days on Mon-Fri and 2:30 to 10:30 PM on Sat. I'll bring a book so I won't be bored to death. I started Sean Hannity's newest book, Deliver Us from Evil...finished the book A VINEYARD ENIGMA last night at work- going to get more of that book series soon.
I also rented a movie called Dark Harvest, but I fell asleep Saturday night and didn't watch it...and it was due back Sunday before they closed, so I returned it. Some horror movie that I noticed in the new releases section, so I picked it up. Looked decent. I guess I'll never know!
It sort of sucks that I'm working days the next three weeks, since I figured out that the show I was talking about before- An American In Canada, feeds Mondays at 6PM. That means I'll be gone by then (at 4 or 4:30 PM) and I won't be able to tape the episodes. Poor me. :( See? Poor poor Josh.
I need to email or call this lady from Full Sail in Orlando. They called and sent me e mail asking if I was still interested and wanting to know if I needed more information on anything. I say I'll call them, but who knows if I really will anytime soon. I need to do SOMETHING that's for sure.
Well, I guess I will be off to finish taping some stuff onto new tapes, and taking out commercials, and umm I dunno what I'll do after that. Nothing too exciting.
