Bubba Ho-What?

Yesterday my brother messaged me to ask if I heard about the new Bruce Campbell movie called Bubba Ho-Tep. Feeling left out of the Bruce Campbell loop, I went in search for the movie’s website. Last night I watched the trailer and I have to say, this has to be one of the most hysterical movies out there. Unfortunately it’s not doing a national release, selected theatres only; so I would have to travel to the NYC theatre. What is even more disheartening is that I just checked the schedule to see if it would coincide with our visit to see Neil but it’s the next Friday. Poo!

In other entertainment news, I spent this past weekend watching the same three episodes of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Mer and John were raving about the show when we were at the Shebeen so I did what any other curious mind would do, went to TVguide.com and checked the listings. They were playing them a bunch every night of the weekend so I even managed to DVR two of the three episodes. In the current world of reality television I found that my TV remains off for the lack in quality (certainly not quantity of these shows). Last night I found myself eagerly awaiting the show and I was not disappointed. The fab five transforms the common Joe into a stylish hunk and that’s certainly no small feat. I just feel bad for them when they enter the straight guy’s place. They’ve been bombarded with rooms that look like an F5 tornado just whipped through with mounds of dirty dishes from months past, dirty clothes, disorganization, and unbelievable furnishings. Who knows, it might actually get K motivated to become more fashionable hip.

Chex Snack Mix: best snackfood ever! K and I bought a huge bag at Target over the past weekend. I’ve been giving him sandwich bags full to bring to work in hopes that he’ll just eat something that isn’t soda. Sitting here contemplating the goodness that was the cheese flavoured, I wondered to myself, what are these little triangles and how did they worm their way into the bag to replace the peanuts? The peanuts were so good and they gave some protein to the salty carbohydrate mix completing the yin and yang of snacking. Now I’m left with funky triangles of cheese crackers in the now turned even healthier snack. Not that I’m complaining since I really can’t digest peanuts but it was something to break up the monotony though now I’m prompted to play even more with my snack by making hexagons and flowers out of my chex. My favorite chex: the corn chex because the wheat one makes me choke.

First, I keep missing out on these shebeens - i need to check one out at some point.

Second, that Bruce Campbell flick looks excellent. 'Tis a pity we won't be able to see it around here. Let's campaign for the Spectrum to get it?

I think that's a very excellent idea! If there's only one place that'll carry it around the region, it would be the Spectrum.

You know any day that you can use the phrase the cat's pyjamas and have to spell it out is always a good day. I love the word pyjamas, it's so different and interesting to stare at. What other kind of words have "P" "Y" "J" right next to each other?

trying to come up with a drinking game for QEFTSG. Like every time Carson hits on the straight guy, one shot. Every time a joke about skidmarks is made, one shot...


re: Chex. Have you tried the honey one? yowza!

lets not forget a drink for every time carson shoves his hand down the straight guy's pants. I must say one of the things I really like about the show is that they are all willing participants and there is no attempt to shock the straight guy, well maybe just a little with carson but it's all good natured.
