probably because just 2 days I saw it I was before I was thinking about a mashup of the Smurfs with Kill Bill, with Smurfette as The Bride.

Dated (mainly because of nmaes used that people in the current time may not be aware of) humor, but still really, really funny in parts.

So I look at my tags and I can't find anything in the Dewey Decimal sytem I could classify thi under, except, probably 355war and 649childrearing. Not very good child rearing, IMHO.

• 08:53 "Brother Theodore" is a really strange performance artist. Seems like Andy Kaufman took over from him. Walk on all fours. Quadrupelus. #

• 22:28 Eating a pizza and reading comic books while listening to an old interview with Stan Freberg. And twittering while I surf my Netvibes. #

We liked this movie. Kind of a chick flick with gross-out humor for the guys. What I liked was that they acted like real people, not just characters.

• 12:59 This: tinyurl.com/3xro8h is great science fiction. And funny. #
• 13:52 Thought yesterday. Conservatives are terrified of life while Liberals are terrified of death. And never the twain shall meet-Liberal me. #
• 18:54 Wondering about China, the Olympics, Human rights, Tibet, and how much the dollar is falling with us owing China. Interesting times. #

My devilgirl and I went to see this yesterday. She really liked it, I thought it was just okay. It was such a chick flick. Performances were good, the story was, well, a chick lit chick flick story so not so great for sf/scifi/superhero/horror-loving me, but great for the audience it was shooting for. I thought it odd that they had an arrangement of "Brother, Can you Spare A Dime", a quintessentially American song about the Great Depression being used for an English pre-WWII setting. I also found it odd that Frances McDormand, a fantastic American actress was the English lead. But--she is fantastic. Amy Adams reminds me so much of a young Judy Garland in a good way. It's just weird seeing that type of performace again in the modern era (though it was period piece). I like it, however. However, the jazzy soundtrack was awesome and I will soon purchase a copy of said soundtrack if I can determine which DRM-free format I want it in.

I was bicycling down a street called "Richardson", and immediately thought of Dr. Doom from the Fantastic Four Lee/Kirby comics yelling "Richards!" and then kidnapping Franklin, Reed and Sue's son.


Why, yes, I do indeed believe it does.

So driving my bicycle home in the cold rain last night was better than I thought it would be as the hard headwinds had finally died down.

I get home and Devon's home already (gone home sick from work) and she says, "What happened to your knees?"

I look down and my knees are covered with soap suds.

The only thing we could figure was that the jeans didn't rinse off enough in the last load of laundry. I said we could save money on laundry washing and drying if I just planned on covering my clothes in laundry detergent and drive my bicycle in the rain.

Amazingly, she thought that was a bad idea.

A quote I've always liked:

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
-Robert A. Heinlein"

I don't generally care for the 60s Batman (Batman: TAS and Batman Begins are my favorite other media [besides comics] takes on the character), but I thought this "L'il Batman" youtube video was just bad and cute enough to share.
