What The ........??????

During these 3 weeks of being an invalid and despite the fact we have SO many DVD's and cable at home I have taken the opportunity to go the movies. I saw Failure to Launch (very funny) and the other day I saw The World's Fastest Indian. On recommendation this was to be the movie to "laugh my pants off". Quite a statement I thought and I decided to see if that would be the case and given my current mental state where anything and everything makes me laugh I had to go and see if this would knock me off the chair. Well it didn't. However it was still a good movie and I would recommend it. Mission Impossible 3 I saw as well. Now it does have Tom Cruise so it could be a big thumbs down but hey, it was a pretty good movie for what it was.

Then the day the world had waited for .............. the long awaited Da Vinci Code was due for release. I had pre-bought tickets in anticipation along with the general public. We couldn't get in until next weekend (ok so this is gold class i am talking about which holds 40 people so i guess it isn't that hard to see why we had to wait til next weekend). I watched the morning news as I was sure there would be reviews and there was - and they weren't very good! WHAT THE......... So apparently this book (which had caused such a commotion around the world given the subject) turned movie (which was predicted to do the same thing the book did) didn't quite bring the sandwiches to the picnic. What a disappointment. I think in a whole list of reviews there was 1 that was good and the review read "you will Louvre this movie". Now come on, you know this dude just wanted to use this line so badly he didn't care the rest of the reviewers thought it was crap - no, he wanted to be the first to use this cheesy line. Ok, somebody find this guy and ban him from the review section for life!

I suppose at the end of the day you will be the judge so I will reserve my thoughts til after I see it.

Or maybe in a day and age where you can basically say "nah, i won't read the book, i will wait for the movie" I will actually have to read the book!

Is this really all there is?

So after reading Angela's blogs for the past couple of months and after being inspired i have decided to enter this world of blogging for myself. I dont think i will ever be up to her standards - and given the time it has taken me to even get an address I doubt Angela will be in any trouble of me even getting anywhere NEAR her - but hey, at least i can give it a go.

And for this purpose only a few people will have this address until i can get the hang of it and then i will unleash myself on an unprepared world!

Mmmm let's see, my blog name - at this stage of life i guess it is always about me! no responsibilities and just work and play. not much to it. or is there?

and my daily title. i have had these past few weeks off due to under going some testing that i have to do every 18 months. wears me down a little and slows me down alot - so i am not really able to operate heavy machinery or do the basics so here i sit at home watching the hours pass away - gee they go fast and i haven't really done anything!

So i have decided to start blogging and give my life some meaning. Unfortunately for those of you out there who might be even remotely interested in reading i dont have kids so my entries might not be very exciting. I will however try to make them funny as I do have alot of stories up my sleeve that shouldn't be hidden.

The other day i was in bed and lucky me has cable in her room so while i was in a "very slow mode" i tuned in to a very old episode of Friends. I cannot begin to tell you how the littlest things crack me up. The episode is one where Joey had made this piece of furniture - the entertainment unit and it was pretty big - given the size of their apartment i suppose anything could be pretty big. Chandler decided after ripping his suit on the furniture coming out of his bedroom one morning that it had to be sold. A guy came in to view it and Joey told him all the "features" of this piece. One of the highlights was Joey could actually sit inside of it and no one could find him. So he demonstrates. Meanwhile the "interested buyer" cleans out their apartment. I cannot tell you how much i laughed and found that to be the funniest thing i had seen all day. Yup, doesn't take much for me to laugh.

Then yesterday I had a doctors visit and he said to me "well i will write an intelligent letter to the specialist" to which i responded "will you need much time or can i go ahead an make the appointment" - i dont think he got it. I am however still laughing.

So in answer to my question - is this all there is? The answer is NO. Somedays i have crazy ideas that i might just have to bounce off you all. I am sure you can hardly wait.

Til then, here's hoping for some comments!
