Steve Guttenberg?!

Wish this happened in my local park - meow!

Purity balls?

Saw this show on Purity Balls on television - scary stuff.

I love the idea of promoting relationships between fathers and daughters but this is not the way. According to families in this purity movement a woman's worth is in her beauty and chastity. There is nothing more to look forward to than saving yourself (and your first kiss) for your wedding day. Um, yeah...

How about encouraging daughters to value their intelligence? To educate and challenge themselves? To develop into compassionate, responsible adults? Instead they are brainwashed into judgmental chattel who pass from being their father's property to their husband's property. Instead of embracing their sexuality it is taken away - first by their father and then by their husband.

Happy birthday, Vanilla Ice

He inspires me to cook MCs like a pound of bacon. Thank you, Vanilla Ice.

Excuse me - I have to shave stripes in my eyebrows now.

I'm in the mood for a hot steamer, are you?

I spotted this gem at the grocery this afternoon.  

Steamers.  That's right.  Steamers.  Who gave the thumbs up on this product name?!  And please note they come "with sauce"...

I imagine these are big sellers in Cleveland?  ;)

"What is oozing out of our ground?"

The best part isn't the poor spelling, errant apostrophes, her delusional ramblings or even the tricky camera work at the end. No - the best part is the siren in the background. Or that the credits say she lives in Northern California. Mommy - is that you?

Celine Dion is amazing!

She's my hero.

Real life is 3D enough, thanks...

After a stimulating and intensely competitive afternoon of bowling and pizza, Paul, Matt and I went to see The NIghtmare Before Christmas yesterday.  (Note for those keeping track - it was the second visit to Concord in one day - probably an IAH record [hopefully never to be repeated]).

Reactions to seeing the movie (before we go):

Matt: OMG - yay!  I love this movie!!  Hurry up - let's go.

Paul: I've only seen it once (and was stoned at the time) but we should go.

IAH: I've never seen it.  Sure - I'll go.

Upon arriving at the theater we are given 3D glasses.  Who-what?!  Can't even remember the last time I rocked a pair of 3D glasses (Jaws 3D, maybe?).  

So, the previews were in 3D - pretty cool.  However, the 3D effects of The Nightmare Before Christmas were pretty lame.  That's right, lame.

Mid-movie reactions:

Matt: The 3D is dumb and distracting - can we go?

Paul: These glasses hurt my ears but I like the movie - don't remember seeing it before.

IAH: I hope the girl (Jessica?) puts out at the end.

We ignored Matt and stayed through the whole movie.  I'm glad we did.  The moral of the story:  don't believe the hype - real life is 3D enough.
