If you needed me......
The past couple of days, I was on the set of the movie "Return of Pink 5".(Watch the first two here and here.) It was filmed in Felton, CA. See the photo slideshow of some of the pictures from the set by clicking "Play Flix" at the bottom of this post. I want to thank Ed Martinez for setting me up with the gig, and everyone I was able to work with on the movie. Nothing get's my blood pumping more than being on a movie set. And not only was it a movie, but a Star Wars movie! Hopefully soon, I will be able to make a living from making movies and tv shows, and only that. I was able to meet a few people who work in Los Angeles in the industry, and I'm hoping something more can come of that soon.
Final totals: Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park various bugs bites: 14, Hours spent in Stormtrooper Armor over 2 days: 20, New bruises and pinched skin marks from those 20 hours: 8, New friends made: 10+, Free meals eaten: about 4, New lbs. put on: about 2, Dollars earned: 0, Experience gained and fun had: Infinite.

I know I'm funny....
I've always been able to make people laugh. And ever since I could remember, I've daydreamed about doing a routine at amatuer night at a comedy club. It's just scary thinking about trying to make people laugh, and not being funny. Like, maybe my humor is only funny because people know me, and the jokes are "in" jokes. But, I think I'm going to do it. I have a lot of little funny things I've written down in the last year or so, and I think I'm going to work it into a routine.
Anyway, to the left on the radio, I've put my impersinations. So needless to say, there is no music right now. But there is; Pat Summerall, Sean Connery, the Atlanta Braves broadcaster, Milton from "Office Space", Watto, Eric Cartman, and Darth Vader. Enjoy.

LOOK TO THE LEFT! LISTEN TO MUSIC!
I have to copy other people in order to be cool. This time, it's Matt Smith. I saw the radio blog on his website, and I decided to put it on mine. Click on a song in the playlist, and listen. It's that simple! Nothing to install.
I TAKE REQUESTS!

Album: Punk Tribute to Green Day
Although isn't Green Day already punk? So why is there a punk tribute album to a punk band? That's from the Department of Redundancy Department. |

I think I'm going to...
Introduce a new section to the site. A movie reviews section. Short n' sweet. I know no one wants to read 9 paragraphs about every movie I see, like I wrote for Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. For my rating system, I'll use peanut m & m's. Why? Because they have 3 of the 4 food groups in one bite size nugget. What are the three, you ask? Dairy(milk chocolate), Protien(peanut), and Chocolate(chocolate). Plus, they are my favorite food. Sometimes, I eat them for dinner.
At the very bottom of my list, out of all the movies I've seen, is "The Ninth Gate". I saw it once like 3 years ago, and needed to be restrained from scooping out my eyeballs with a spoon after it was over. So that movie would get 0 peanut m & m's. To earn 5 peanut m & m's, the movie would have to rank up there with any one of the original 3 Star Wars movies, Fight Club, and Forest Gump. Those are 3 of my all-time favorite movies off the top of my head. So here's my first submission:
Batman Begins
 
Why it got 4.5 stars and not 5: Because I had a hard time believing Katie Holmes could be Christian Bale's same age. She was terrific, but he looks mid-30's, and she looks mid-20's. They were supposedly the same age, so that took me out of it a bit. If it weren't for that, this movie would have gotten 5 peanut m & m's.
The Good: Pretty much everything. I completely talked myself into believing that in order to tell the back story, and how Bruce Wayne became Batman would equal boredom. Nope. This movie fires on all cylinders throughout the entire film. I was extremely bummed when the credits rolled. This is one of the best super hero movies ever, if not THE best. Christopher Nolan directed, and he did an amazing job. Go see Momento if you haven't. It will blow your mind. Another thing that I really enjoyed about this movie while watching was the score. Holy cow. Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard really made something special here. I love the theme. I love the horns. I got the soundtrack as soon as I got home. It's outstanding.
The Bad: 1. Believing Katie Holmes was the same age as Christian Bale. See above. 2. That it ended. I wish this movie was like 9 hours long.
The Ugly: What the Scarecrow see's when he gets a taste of his own medicine. |

Comcast
There's a reason I wrote that in red. Because I'm very angry. The last two months with comcast has been like that movie "Awakenings". Where the brain dead people have sudden bouts of complete recovery, and function normally. Only to, a day later go back to being completely brain dead again.
The last two months Comcasts service has been very poor. Completely down, very slow, high pings, etc. Tonight is really bad. Nothing I can do about it though, because I'm sure not going to get DSL as I don't want to sign a 12 month contract. So here's me bending over to take it......

MY WIFE IS A DOCTOR!
I just want to say congratulations to the hardest, most dedicated, inspirational person I know. I am so proud of you Nicki. Everyday I wake up, I thank God that you are my wife. I love you so much, and am so proud to be your husband. Also, it's pretty cool that I'm married to the best looking Chiropractor that has ever lived. |

according to....
the internet anagram name server, the word "borbafett" can be re-arranged to say: Fatter Bob.
But the funniest ones come when Ricky Borba is re-arranged(a side note, I think all of these rearrangements are great band names): A Ribby Cork, Rabbi Corky, Rabbi Rocky, Bark By Rico, I Rock By Bra, Cobra Kirby, I Rock By Bar, Croak Ribby, Carry Bib OK...and my new line of cologne that comes out this fall...Boar By Rick.

Cam Neely.....
Was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame Yesterday. I'm not a hockey fan at all. In fact, I hate it. But here are some of his stats:
Led the Bruins in scoring 7 out of the 10 years he was on the team.
55 career playoff goals.
Scored 50 goals in his 44th game in 1994, the 3rd fastest in NHL history to do so.
Gave one of the best performances in cinematic history as "Seabass" in "Dumb And Dumber".

Current Favorites:
Song: "Square One" - Coldplay
"Sooner or Later" - Breaking Benjamin
Movie: Revenge of the Sith
DVD I'm watching: Dick Tracy and Wonderboys. Dick Tracy is in the front room on the big screen, and Wonderboys is in the bedroom on the small tv. I saw Wonderboys once about 3 years ago, but I can't remember for the life of me how it ends.
Food: Boiled chicken with pasta seasoning, broccoli and rice. I'm really really trying to change my eating habits. A couple of Nicki's doctor friends said that after 21 days, your body loses the craving for sugar and other foods you're addicted to. So now I have 17 days to go.
Word: "Knucklehead"
Person: My wife. She gradjiates in 3 days. I'm so f-ing proud of her. No one knows how hard it's been for her to get through hell(Life West).
Video Game: ESPN Baseball 2k5
Shirt: The new dark green one I got from Target.
Line from a movie: Steve Zissou -"What are you doing here? I thought all you interns ran out on me."
Intern #1 - "I want to help you find that shark."
Steve Zissou - "God dammit. Thank ya intern, you're getting an A". |

If this happens.....
I swear on everything that is holy that I will never again attend or watch an A's game. It's from the Arlington Heights Daily Herald.
.....Take this latest rumor with as many grains of salt as necessary. But don't deny it has some serious bite. The White Sox trade starting third baseman Joe Crede and top pitching prospect Brandon McCarthy to the Athletics for power-hitting, Gold Glove third baseman Eric Chavez.
