A quiz I actually like!
Bad on SO many levels
I just watched Team America: World Police. It’s not the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but it’s close. Normally, Matt and Trey entertain me, but this isn’t their standard fare.
Politically, I liked it. Plotwise, I liked it. It just wasn’t very entertaining. The puppets are terrific. There’s explicit puppet sex and A LOT of m/m content. There’s only one song in this one that’s worth anything, which was a letdown. The (overused) profanity doesn’t add anything to the movie. It’s no longer shocking or a social commentary, it’s just overkill. I wanted to enjoy this movie, but in the end, I was just glad it was over.
Technology, ain’t it great?
I purchased the best DVD player EVER. It plays almost any format you throw at it. VCD? SVCD? Soooo last year. This baby plays DivX and XviD with no problem. The best part? Only $69.99 at K-mart. Yes, K-Mart.
Since I have all of the latest (and greatest) shows and movies, I wanted to be able to watch them without having to convert them to .mpg (which looks like crap). I read that this Philips DVDP-642 could do all of that, so I began my small town quest to find one. Wal-Mart and RadioShack had none (nor did the salesmen know what DivX meant…sheesh!). In a last ditch effort, I decided to go out of my way to the always disappointing Big K. The rest is history. I now watch burned CDs of shows that look better on CD than they did with DirecTV the first time around.

Whoo Dad!
Dad and I have been attending Weight Watchers together (he since January, I since May). He reached his goal today. There was confetti, a camera, applause, and a good time for all. He has lost 77lbs. and looks terrific. It’s great knowing there are no worries about his health.
I’ve lost 22lbs. and the funny thing is that making the necessary changes in my eating habits was effortless. Seriously. Aside from not eating multiple Twinkies at a time, I’ve not missed anything. I still overeat Mexican every Sunday. I still have an occasional cheeseburger (although, I eat a LOT of BocaBurgers). I eat a little of anything I want. I do miss regular pop. Pepsi bottling company may be in financial trouble since my consumption of Mountain Dew has ended. Then again, I just switched it for Diet Dew, so I guess they’re ok. I do not and will not exercise and the only water I drink is the little bit I swallow when brushing my teeth. Overall, I love WW.
