21 to Life

There’s talk of a new RoboCop movie. Normally, I wouldn’t care one bit about this news, but something in the report punched me in the gut…hard. The first RoboCop movie was released 21 years ago. TWENTY-ONE FRELLIN’ YEARS AGO. How f’n old are we?!? I was no youngster when RoboCop came out TWENTY-ONE FRELLIN’ YEARS AGO.

I know time is marching on and all that jazz, but I’m still in my Peter Pan mode, refusing to grow up. However, when I read things like the above, I start to think that maybe, just maybe, I’m getting old anyway. This is a dark, dark day. :evileye:

To Frak Or Not To Frak

Now that the end is near, I ask myself, “Am I ready to put aside my hatred and watch this show?” I hated Farscape until well after it ended, then gave it a shot and ended up loving it (a little). However, Farscape had two things going for it that BSG does not: humor and Muppets.

I can’t help but wonder if I’d be better off just reading all about BSG on WikiPedia (another peevish thing of mine),

Why So?

Alright, I’m watching it. So far, the only reason I can think that Heath Ledger is getting so much praise is that he’s the only character of any substance in the movie. Perhaps things will pick up, but it’s not looking too good.

[Edit: Two very enthusiastic thumbs down! Total waste of time.]

[Edit Edit: Oh, lord. I just just checked the time and there’s a whole hour left. Maybe there is hope.]

[Final Edit: Nope. Also, Bale’s Batman voice is incredibly annoying.See Edit #1]

Busy Day

I really shouldn’t say that I had a busy day because out of everyone, I had the easiest time. Scott and Jamie are finishing the upgrades to their new house and without air conditioning (which installs today), it was too hot for the kids to be there. Aunt Jenn to the rescue! Cage and Scotti stayed with me all day yesterday and we had a blast. Well, Cage and I did; Scotti slept most of the day.

Big Wednesday night TV viewing. Hopefully, we’ll see the last of Mango. So many people are anti-Suede that they’re missing out on the true buffoon. Look past the blue and see the MANGO, people!
