Random thoughts…
As I was looking through my DVD collection, 300 or so and a few Blue-Rays, I found one that I haven’t seen in four years. Free Enterprise is a movie I saw when hit the small theaters way back in 1996. Here’s the plot: Two guys who worshiped Captain Kirk from way back meet up with William Shatner and find out he’s a douche bag and the dreaded big 3-0 is happening to one of the guys and the other may have found the love of his life but he has issues of his own. For the Sci-Fi geek, there is every sci-fi reference know to man/woman kind. And it’s funny as all get out. This is the movie where we find out that Shatner can be funny. A pre Will and Grace Will McCormack is one of the leads. There’s a bit sex in it but not too graphic. The audio commentary between the director, writer, and two leads are very funny. Contrast it with Mr. Shatners’ commentary which was dead serious. The credits were just as funny. Dunno if it’s on Netflix but I’m sure it’s on Amazon.
For some reason, there’s been a lot of talk/shows about the of the world/society. Shows about the end of the world, shows about people who prep for doomsday, etc… Me I have a small bag that has a few things that will come in handy if things hit the fan: A small bottle of bleach that has a lot of uses, two changes of clothes, three trash bags, three changes of under wear, some weather proof matches, a small but complete first aid kit and some can foods and snacks. I did this after watching a show called Dual Survival. It’s about two guys who have different ways of survival. It’s fun to watch and I had some spare cash (Most of what I got was from Dollar Tree and used re-sale places) and thought it might be handy to have around. So to Boulderchristina, I’m semi prepared for the zombie hordes, just need a automatic shotgun and shotgun shells…
Dad is going in sometime for di fib on his heart sometime soon. Am hoping it’s after birthday in nine days because he hasn’t gotten word back from the doctor who’s going to it. He and I are “planning” celebrating birthdays together seeing my birthday is March 23 by going bowling. I’ve tride to get some of my cousins to maybe come celebrate at least his birthday. I posted it on Facebook a while back with no one replying. So things are up in the air until then. Lucky for me my birthday falls on a Friday but I’m taking a vacation day the Thursday before so I can have a four day weekend.
Gotta love Mother Nature and Old Man Winter for having it snow on the weekend. I’m waiting for the big snow storm to dump it’s load on us. It’s happened before. So until July 4th happens, I expect snow up to then.
No vacations this year. Just a series of four day weekends. Maybe a trip to West Virgina for my uncles’ birthday but until then, I’ll take my four day weekends. Less stressful and more relaxing that way…
There’s comercial that has a song from the 1990′s that has different versions of it and it was on the soundtrack of Grosse Pointe Blank. Any help would be nice…
Man I hate Mondays and at work I expect Doomsday or the worse at work… Everything bad has happened on Mondays at work. So crossing my fingers that Monday won’t be too bad…
So unless the Walking Dead start up: Be Carefull Out There…

I hope all goes well with your Dad – these kinds of things are pretty routine these days.
This year, I have been wanting to go bowling for my birthday, too. It’s going to be difficult to talk my boyfriend into going, but I’m planning on it!
The preparedness kit you have sounds pretty good. I should make one of those.
Mondays suck. I will aid you with your zombie training. Try Left For Dead, great practice.
I haven’t watched enough of the original Star Trek to have much of an opinion on Shatner in those days, but I do know that he’s a funny guy when he’s trying to be funny. Which is more than can be said for some other actors.
