Boy tolerates Grampa

Zona Boy reviews Little Miss Sunshine

I don't see what the excitement was all about. It was okay, but nominated for best picture? I don't get it.

I liked the advice the Alan Arkin character passed along to his grandson. That's the kind of grampa I intend to be.

Bottom line is that it was a cute little story.

Three fistfulls of popcorn.

Shake it off. Suck it up. Play though the pain. Take it like a man. Shoot your way out of the slump.

I'm not the only one struggling to post it seems. Maybe it's the time of year. Maybe it's global warming. I'm on the last day or two of a wicked head cold sent straight from hell by satan. Ya know I'm not even from Canada and I know that everybody's laughing at the fool who just came by with a hat that had "Newfoundland and Labrador" printed on it. And then there was that lady who just asked if potato chips were food. The one exception to "yes, you dumbass you" would be chips that are shaped like silhouettes of presidents and kings and queens or such. Those are all museum pieces. I'm pretty sure that museum is located in Newfoundland of Labrador somewhere.

I saw a picture of a girl in Flickr sitting on a pile of coca leaves at a cocaine kitchen in the jungle of Colombia. I shook my head. She must of happened on a cocaine kitchen run by gay men because I can imagine what I would do if a white woman stumbled on to MY cocaine kitchen and I was a Colombian cocaine chef.

Maybe she was from Newfoundland and Labrador.

Zona Boy reviews The Departed

It was a movie with lots of big names. It was a movie with a common conflict good vs evil plot line that tossed some current Homeland Securityish crime. It was transparent with a lazy writer ending.

In short, it sucked.

Empty hand. (meaning zero fistfulls of popcorn)

Whoopdee freeking do!!

Was I one of the very few who thought The Police were way off on the Grammys? Sting seemed to be trying to take charge and it surprised the other two. Maybe rusty, maybe arrogance. The tour will tell.

Bitch slap

Australia's PM tried to slap Presidential candidate Obama by saying that Al Qaeda would celebrate a victory by Obama in the elections.

Obama responded by telling the Aussie Bush kiss-ass PM that if he believed in Bush's Iraq program so much he should send 20,000 Australians to Iraq.

He SHOULD have told him to send 20,000, AND his mama!

I'm tired,
mired,
uninspired,

but like a fool I feel bad for not posting to at least say hello.

I should end it there but I won't.

My Matthew Good photo experience is done. It was one of the highlights of my photography non-career. Now I'm craving another project at least as big but it will be a while before I get the chance. More than likely Bolivia in July.

I won an online poker tourney yesterday. I came in 3rd and 5th in two others. It's all play money.

My mother-in-law is not doing so well. Say a little prayer for her for me.

If you're into prayer.

If your a pagan like me think a good thought for her.

Gracias.

Oh let me see here,

NEWS

Sabrina is starting to laugh now. She makes more expressive noises and makes moves towards people.

Conroy is learning his letters and numbers.

I'm getting better at online poker and only play tournaments now. I finished second yesterday out of 90. (play money)

I'm on Lipitor again to battle my cholestorol with chemicals rather than diet and exercise.

WEATHER

Cold, some fog, not much wind or rain.

SPORTS

I play golf. See weather.

Dreams on acid

I was a bus driver and the only people getting on the bus were Simpsons characters. Burns had a big wad of cash but Barney handed me a bigger wad of cash to pay for him and Bart. Both got change back. We stopped at a place in a mall for breakfast. There were Christmas trees everywhere and I was told that people were dropping them off for a bit and then picking them up later. So I put mine with the others and attached a big label with my name on it right at the tip where the angel should be. But when I came back a few hours later I was bummed to see that somebody had taken it. So I walked around the mall a bit and I saw Tom Hanks walk out of a store dressed like the Lucky Charms leprechaun except for the jacket and the hat. I told him that his outfit looked ridiculous and he said, "I think this out fit looks great", and I replied, "It DOES......on MARS" so he went back into the store and came out with an outfit that was more subdued but still almost as wild but in tones of brown. Then he went downstairs and shot an AT&T commercial in one of those mall baby portrait places. "Did you see my eyes in that shot? Weren't they cool? Kinda CIA/Peter Lorie eyes". I did see his eyes. His pupils were very wide open. Like he had been smoking lots of weed.

There ya go Sabrina. Now please don't do drugs.

Love,

Grampa

Dear Grampa,

I'm sure your people are tired of seeing nothing but Matt Good pictures on your blog and even though they probably don't comment as much as you would like, you should write some more interesting posts so I have something to read when I grow up.

Love,

Sabrina

The recording for one song is now complete and it involves the instruments/devices pictured here along with some others of course. It still needs final mixing and finishing but it is an amazing song. There was a lot of "okay, let's try this, and how does THIS sound, and that was much better but what about THIS?"

Oh yeah. I think I just might have to purchase this CD when it's released.
