Not to be a negative nancy, but its time to entertain ya'll with a mini rant on a few things that really chap my asshole right now. Its building up and needs to come out somehow.
RUDE DRIVE THRU CLERKS- Seems that every drive thru in my area has rude clerks. Their voice inflections say "Man, I hate my life, I hate my job, my mom's a fuckin' whore, my dad is a drunk fucktard and I hate breathing. And I hate you." They take your money without a smile and hand you the change without a thank you. They hand you a bag and close the door. No "Have a nice day" or "thanks." And then you drive off to realize that 1-the food is old and cold or 2-its made or assembled wrong. Your soda has streams of soda on the side of the cup, sticking to your cup holder and making it smell in your car for weeks.
I keep swearing off going to these damn places, but sometimes time and convenience win out. But lately, I cannot stomach it anymore. Why give my money to a place that treats their valued customers like that? I swear I should be a hermit.
BEST BUY- All best buy stores recently got rid of their SCI FI section and mixed it in with action. (So, 2001: A Space Odyssey is now an ACTION movie????) Since when do Sci Fi lose their genre placement? Aw, who am I kidding? Like Best Buy has the best selection anyway. Its like going into hollywood video. All you see are all the remake movies and all the Asylum straight to DVD rip off releases (Snakes on a Train, Python 1-5, Alien vs. Hunter, etc). So again, I'll remain a hermit and shop online at Amazon or ebay. At least they have a decent selection. (Note: Barnes and Noble has a great selection, but since they don't pull the same "screw the customer and our employees" deals like Walmart does, the prices are damn high. Again, online is better)
ESCAPE FROM LA- Sometimes I avoid films cause of how bad I hear they are. But eventually, my curiosity wins me over and I say "screw it, I'll try it." I mean, everyone dogs on Ghostbusters 2, and fuck it, I like it. Well, after loving Escape from New York for so long, I decided to give the sequel a chance. And boy was I wrong for trying. It basically was the first one, only with surfing. Horrible. May rank now on my worst sequels of all time list. Right behind Blair Witch 2.
last rant: TV- Cartoon Network now shows reality based survivial contest shows with teens. The Weather Channel announced its going to start showing films (like I can guess: Twister and The Perfect Storm over and over right?). And today, Game Show Network announced a Carnie Wilson reality show. Having NOTHING to do with Game Shows. I mean, what the frick? Do all channels have MTV syndrome or something? Called one thing, show another? Is that it? Good thing I only watch 2-3 shows on tv. And I can watch them on ON DEMAND or HULU or ITUNES or wait for DVD. Fuck TV. Fuck it. Except, for Iron Chef. Not the shitty Americanized version but the original Japan show with the dubbing. Its awesome.
Okay, now my mental pallette is clear and so I can talk about other things. Currently working on Anna pages and prints. Before Halloween drops, you're gonna see some new Halloween themed prints from me. I'll take em to the cons with me next year. I love Halloween, but I never get to celebrate it in a cool way. We barely decorate the house or anything. We got some small pumpkins and a punkin full of candy. thats it. I want cobwebs, silly hanging bats and things. And run a halloween show on halloween night like propmaster legend Bob Burns. Man that would be awesome. Oh well. One day. For the kids.
My kid is addicted to Dora the Explorer. Mezmorized by it even. And he's doing great at walking now. Still chooses to balance on things and crawl instead, but he is walking now.
Well, thats all I got. Back to your lives me droogies!
