Hollywoodland

Ye gods. I swear some of the people around here (geographically speaking) are so freakin’ stupid. A city south of us released a bunch of stray dogs into a national forest (which is stupid enough), but when asked what if a child is bitten by one of these strays, the mayor said “that would be the responsibility of the stray’s owner”. WTH? Hello? If it’s a stray, it doesn’t have an owner, you moron!!! I swear some of these people are just plain too stupid to live. And how did this idiot get elected to be mayor???

A couple of things I forgot yesterday, why is it that smoke alarm batteries always act up in the middle of the night? Every time it’s happened to me it’s been the middle of the night!

And still beating the bulldog/pug dead horse *g* having now seen pictures of miniature bulldogs, I’d have to say it really is one, but that mask of Bandit’s always made me think pug and having never heard of miniature bulldogs until this week, may I pleased be excused? *g*

Last night’s Doctor Who (which featured Agatha Christie) was, in my opinion, bloody brilliant! Donna and the Doctor traveled back to 1926 England and joined a house party at which Mrs. Christie was a guest. Spoilers ahead! Giggle-worthy moments included: [»]

I have nothing in particular to say today, so you’re going to get a whole bunch of this and that.

First up, from National Geographic, we have a story about the remains of a “lost” Egyptian pyramid that’s been found.

I read this morning that once again Hollywood is incapable of making an original movie. Now they’re going to remake I Dream of Jeannie.

Some of you have been wondering about The Closer’s season premiere. It’s July 14th.

On the music scene, have any of you heard (or seen the video) of Kid Rock’s new song All Summer Long? It’s a quirky little song that samples both Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon and Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd. [»]

Happy June 1st!!!

One of the things I watched last night was the History Channel special Indiana Jones and the Ultimate Quest. That may have been a mistake because it makes me want to work on my archaeologist story. *g*

We cracked up during the evening news last night. They were doing a story about the space shuttle’s latest mission to the International Space Station. Why was that funny? They’re flying up there to fix the toilet! Okay, they probably plan to do more than that, but that’s what the story focussed on. No doubt, that’ll be the universe’s biggest plumbing bill ever!!!

We got my bed moved around yesterday. I’m not sure I like where it is now, but maybe it’ll just take some time for me to get used to it. We shall see. Wish I’d remembered to take pictures before we moved it, but I took some this morning. So I have something for tomorrow’s blog.

I thought there was going to be nothing on tonight, but there’s a special on National Geographic Channel about the recent discoveries at Stonehenge and the new USA show In Plain Sight premieres. Though both are repeated later in the evening/night, so I may record them and watch some more of the recorded shows I already have.

Reading: I’m re-reading Bowled Over by Kasey Michaels. This is the, um, sixth (I think) book in her Maggie Kelly series. I love this series.
