Totally Random Thursday! Special Holiday Edition! (but not really)

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Spa Owner has shut down the spa until January 5th.  I am officially on a long vacation I haven't had since 2008.  Let the vegetation begin!

Okay, it won't be all vegetation.  I'm hoping to get some work on projects done, game, clean house, game, cook a lot of cool stuff, game, enjoy the holidays with friends and family, game...It could prove to be a rather fruitful vacation.

Solstihanukwanzamas is upon us at last.  Our plans are pretty simple: spend a nice evening together, shower the parents with gifts, have dinner and laughing with in-laws, curse at the stupid drivers.  Good times.

Okay, on with the Totally Random Show!

- Just watched the trailer for the new "Robin Hood" movie. It told me nothing about the movie beyond it was directed by Ridley Scott (which these days could be good or bad) and stars Russell Crowe (which is definitely up in the air for good or bad) and Cate Blanchett (who is awesome but her movies aren't always.)  So, as far as I'm concerned, according to the trailer, it's a bunch of fight scenes with a metal soundtrack.  Woo

- A bunch of us helped a good friend move out of the house and into her new apartment in about four hours.  Have we got it down to a science or what.

- I love my Louisiana peeps, but I still don't want to go down there next weekend.  Some know why it's painful for me to go there, but many others do not and I probably won't drop that on them.  Still, despite loving to visit my peeps down there, I really don't want to go.

-My mother just informed me that it's snowing at her house again.  I hate her.  I love her, but I hate her snow-getting abilities.  Telling her we've gotten a flash flood warning really doesn't relate to her getting snow.  Dammit.  Hate her.  (But, love her!)

-"Daybreakers" looks interesting.  What if the majority of humans become vampires and normal humans become cattle?  What if there was a shortage of that supply and while someone was in search for an artificial replacement he found a cure for vampirism?  Yeah, I'm liking the depth of that.  There are two things that appeal even more: one) the vampires reflect the worst of humans according to the trailers which makes them scary as all hell as they should be, and two) they don't fucking sparklel.  This film could terribly awesome.

- Although, on that note of "Daybreakers," if they are immortal, truly, why do they care if they run out of blood? I'm assuming that that's the problem, they are immortal as long as there is fresh blood.  If that's the way of the movie, I am still leaning to a terribly awesome anticipation.  If they are going to go all cheesy about "weeee'll staaaaaaarve!" *insert whining* even though they are bloody immortal and don't have that worry, I will laugh and ignore it.  BUT, there is a suggestion that without human blood what little humanity remains in the vampires disappears.  That is more like Super Husband's theory and tres cool.  Time will tell.

- I go into the sun room.  I do not hear the sounds of rain, but I hear this dull roar.  I look outside and immediately unlock the back door to get a better look outside.  We have a creek behind our house which is attached to a larger tributary-type system which has been adapted as a drainage system for the city during rain.  I've not see our creek turn to rapids this bad, even during the deluge of May.  It is awesome, beautiful, and scary all at once.  Wow.

- Am I the only one who saw on apple.com/trailers the listing for "Furry Vengeance" and didn't even watch it because it sounded too much like an uprising of bad costumes with a hoard of stuffed animals in tow?  Yeah.

- Yes, I've watched a lot of trailers lately.  Some of the theater appeal has reappeared since they started letting ushers enforce the "Shut up or get the fuck out" rule.

- I miss my family.  My mom almost was able to make it down for Christmas, but we figure we'll be happy with her making it down for her birthday. 

- My little brother is quitting the Air Force which is cool, but he's about to get himself into a debt with our mutual sperm donor that he will regret much later.  I would try to convince him otherwise, but he's a grown man.  I will be here to pick up the pieces.

- I am trying to not fall asleep at this computer.

May everyone have a very happy Solstihanukwanzamas and an even happier New Year!
