John Candy was absolutley wonderful.
John, If you were still alive, you would get to punch Steve Martin in the face for ripping you off in 'Cheaper By The Dozen 2."
See you around.

Myspace........Across The Pond
Ok, so last night out of desperation for not having as many friends as my friends on Myspace, I realized that just like most people have bands as their friends, I should look for celebritites.
Well, of course first instincts were across the pond to look for my favorite actors from my favorite movie and TV show.
Now, as part of my friends list, I [hopefully] have Peter Serafinowitz ('Duane' from Spaced and 'Pete' from Shaun/Dead) and Simon Pegg ('Tim' and 'Shaun', respectively again). BUT.......is it the real them?
I surely hope so, I haven't sent a comment or message to them yet........and I did find many many pages for other celebs that appeared to be fraud (do a search for Jon Heder and see just how many 'Don't call me Napoleon Dynamite' sites you find.). I don't want to be a complete ass and comment something, followed by "Is this the REAL Simon, or are you just getting your jollies?"
Well.......in any case, a simple viewing of MY myspace would lead them here........and therefore they might see this, and I would be very embarrassed at all of the previous Spaced worshipping I've done (just don't look at my history, felllas).
OH, and to be safe, my Photoshopped Nick Frost picture has been removed temorarily.........for fear of freak outage.

ANOTHER Wasted Joke On My Mom....
Yep.....tonight she came in my room and said she had ironed my shirt and it looked better ironed. She then said she doesn't know who'll iron for me when I move out.
I promptly stated that "this shirt is dry clean only......which means, IT'S DIRTY!!!!"
She asked if I was just gonna carry it to the dry cleaners.

TAP TAP* Can Anyone Hear Me?
Well, it seems that I'm coming to you straight from...........that insufferable old coot of a computer I for some retarded reason named "Marvin." (I guess b/c it's so silvery and shiny and looks cool. And it's always depressed.)
Welp.......just letting you know that my computer is back up and running like the day I got her (literally, b/c of the VAIO Recovery Wizard), which means I have the joy of when you bring a new computer home that has factory installed software: I get to go through and clean out as much crap as possible.
So, yeay for me. And yeay for Apple. I still want a MAC.

Fletch Lives
So, for everyone who has seen "Hoodwinked,".......help me spot the movie references.
My favorite was the whole thing about the Wolf being Chevy Chase's "Fletch," which I thought was so beautiful...even down to the music and the disguises (plus, did you catch the 'Candygram' joke?).
Otherwise, I spotted "XXX," and "Mission: Impossible 2," but I don't know of any others.
Needless to say I thought "Hoodwinked" was absolutely brilliant and downright hilarious. It almost felt like an episode of Family Guy....like it was someone who used to write for the show. Anyway, great great film.
---------
The next generation of iPods should be voice-activated. Would save alot of lives for people on the road who can't just put one album on and let it go. For those whose music is affected by moods.

Late As In The Late Dent Arthur Dent
So......a movie I think worth all the hype is indeed "Brokeback Mountain."
Now I don't need to tell you what the movie is about b/c you've probably heard either 1.) some form of unstoppable blab hyping the movie to be the best of the years 2005 and 2006, or 2.) that it's the most subversive movie ever and should be banned from everywhere b/c it's about the gay.
Well either way you've been led to believe I'll tell you two things: 1.) Everyone should see this movie at least once, and 2.) when you DO see it........just take it for what it's worth. Feel about it how you feel about it.
---------
That being said, I regret something deeply that I didn't do last Sunday. Whilst watching the movie, there was an old (50–60 years old) couple behind us that would not shut up. The woman was constantly giggling (as if she were seeing a comedy) and the man could not NOT talk. He would just make asinine comments that were wastes of breath....begginning with "Heh heh, choked off the truck didn't he?" at the beginning to "Got Roger Miller on the radio, huh?" in the middle and "I knew he would ---- -------" at the very very end. (which he got the last part wrong, anyway.)
So what would I have done? Well I was so close (for 2 hours and 14 minutes) to turning around and just flat out saying "Hey, shut the fuck up." But......I was trying to get into the movie and didn't want to disturb it, even though they kept bringing me back out of it.
What got me was before the movie began all of the other people I could see coming into the theater looked to be 20–30 year olds, who had enough sense to sit and watch a movie and just take it in like grown adults. But noooooo......the old people were worse than a little kid. You would think old people would have manners in a theater. They were around when it was invented....surely they know the deal.
---------
So I suppose all I'll tell you about 'Brokeback Mountain' is that I saw it and what I went through to see it.....the rest is up to you.
But I will say that director Ang Lee redeemed himself for "HULK."

Something I'm Unsure Of....
So, if I do finally get around to having Lasik....I wonder........what should I do about my eyebrows?
Now, they are [only very slightly] masked by my glasses. If I stop wearing glasses...I'll be forced to take action. I'll have like a Peter Gallagher thing going on.
First of all I'm a dude. And, issues like this don't come natural to a dude. And, most dudes that are either married or in a relationship don't really have to worry about it b/c they are supposed to be loved anyway...regardless of the amount of body hair they have. Plus, it's a little more respectful for a man to just have a wife 'do something' about his unsightly bits of hair.
So do I trust someone I don't know to touch the general region of my face and forehead? Or do I continue to look like a freak who's only recently been unmasked?
Oh.....the perils of being cursed with hair.
(NOTE: If I became a swimmer......I could shave EVERYTHING)

It's 2006......Thank Goodness I Don't Write Very Many Checks These Days.
I Wonder........what's the point of having a filter for your tap water unless you use the filter to make your ice cubes as well?
----------------
Saturday I cried at the end of Star Wars. I only watched it b/c the week before I laughed so hard at the end of the Season 4 Family Guy episode where Peter won the award and they copied the final ceremony scene from "A New Hope"......complete with Chewbacca and the droids.
But it's just so great of an ending I couldn't help but cry.
---------
I think that if I wouldn't have stopped him, Andrew really would have kissed me last Saturday, too.........but I don't really know. (If only I were drunker.)
---------
I would love to live on my own now. And NOOOOOO........it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that my mom and brother feel they must talk at the top of their lungs at 7.30 a.m. on weekdays right outside my door. (And sometimes weekends, too.)
Well, you know, actually it DOES have to do with JUST THAT.
