A bill figured, if that was their doing. A door-stop fixed. A bit of painting and some repair plastering and light hanging, if done bassackward. I did have a lot of mucus coming through my nose, though. I though, at first, that I might be coming down with something. As it turns out I do believe the flying rats, due to the extreme cold spell, were crawling around, kicking up dust... If both nostrils were running, that was good, or better. Otherwise when one nose would be runny, the other would be bleeding, then they would switch. Bah! I fired my nose! Didn't help.
Never to worry. I plan on Mass, swimming, and then a visit with my friend. If he wants or needs to go shopping first, all good. But I have a movie I haven't seen I'd like to watch with him, Cowboys & Aliens, or some such. I have it with the Dremel bit I will be giving him and some other things I want to take into town for whatever reason. I've got a small stack of stuff. I'm sure it will make sense once I head out. Oh, right, one of the things is a camera. I have one that I don't like but that he might really enjoy. It'll be up to him.
I will take my medicine, read for about and hour, then I think I will be hitting it pretty hard tonight. I can't say swimming is beating it out of me, but living a little more fully and more regularly is making sleep pretty easy and rather regular. Staying up a bit later would be okay, but I like getting up at, or usually before, 7:00. It makes me feel like I almost have a claim to the big people's table! Even with going to bed so early. Regularity and getting up early trump the downer of going to be early, any day, in my book. Well, at this stage in my life.
Good night. Sleep well. See ya in the pool! *splash*
I remember enjoying Cowboys and Aliens. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteEven I remember you having liked it. And me being a party pooper about something about it or other.
ReplyDeleteYou caught me! :p
Will have fun though.
Even if I don't like durned criminals being heroes, and all...
ReplyDeleteHa! Both main characters are criminals in their own way. It's alpha vs alpha.
ReplyDeleteThe plot is corny, but then the whole premise of the movie is way corny, on purpose.
Nevertheless, going in with limited expectations, I loved it.
Hmm, I wasn't as inclined to favor. I am glad you all liked it. It seemed really short, there really wasn't much character development, and the aliens really... just were. At least they didn't re-resurrect the woman. The one thing I wouldn't have minded them ruining they kept, somehow, right. Bleh. Still, it was something to watch.
ReplyDeleteYou guys and your shows. :p
The key was, as I noted, going in with limited expectations. I saw that it was panned. I went to see it anyway. It was entertaining enough, regardless.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. And I even understand Opus enjoying it. Simply people see things differently, take different cues. Plus, she is far prettier. :)
ReplyDeleteNope, I have done exactly what you have done. And, sometimes, I come away just like you. The two more common movies, as I mentioned, were End of Times and Transformer, if I really was very on the fence about even trying to like the latter, even knowing ahead and with the special effects.
No judgment here. Just... I could not do this film any favorable blessing, personally.
Well for the distaff side, there was Daniel Craig. Though Daisycat was greatly crushed when she read of the rumors of his bisexuality.
ReplyDeleteDespite, she enjoyed him in both James Bond movies we've seen plus Cowboys and Aliens.
"Simply people see things differently, take different cues.", as to the other D.C. and Opus. Oh, yes, I am sure while women deny, they sometimes don't, even while denying right over what they don't deny... somehow. None of my affair. It's good to be a guy and just say it. :p *Betty Page*
ReplyDeleteOh, an ac/dc guy? I hadn't heard that. I swear they look for those types, try and sneak them in for the splodey head thing. Usually I spot them, but... Then again I've been done with Bond for a long time, since they gave him a chick boss and he started getting beat up by women. Bleh. Definitely relegated to British tripe (not to be confused with beef tripe, which is good if done properly)(though the .380 should have done it in the first place, but I was a kid, after all).
Right. Well the "chick" (old lady) dies in the latest movie, to be replaced by a new male boss.
ReplyDelete9 mm at least, FFS! Better a subcompact .40. Where the hell is Q in all this??
Also, he fails to save the girl in this latest installment. Mixed feelings on that...
ReplyDeleteThen again my car gun is a .380 with CorBon ammo. I'm sure it is quite sufficient in a pinch until I can get to my .45 packed deeper...
ReplyDeleteToo late, for Bond, for me. As for not saving the girl? Sometimes that's got to be. It is SUPPOSED to leave mixed feelings, but to, a sense of reality. Plus, it sets up for the next Bond girl a little easier. Love lost is sometimes the best. It's what we old guys get a little misty about, not the ones who became too bitter to stomach or were released to "be free" like a pardoned turkey on Thanksgiving (because we killed the pig for ham). :p Urhm, that might all sound wrong, just... work with me.
ReplyDeleteAs to the .380 with Cor-Bon, I absolutely think that will serve quite well in the stead OF a .45. The ammunition Bond was using would not. The newer ammunition makes even a .22 quite lethal. In recent studies, almost all calibers, right down to the .22 and right on up to .50s, took about 1.5 to 2.5 shots, statistically speaking, to dispatch the person shot. My guess is the new ammunition is the thing. Thankfully it is civilians and police who use that, not generally something thugs consider, oddly but gladly. Pro-criminals sometimes consider ammunition types, but then... they are pro's and don't kill randoms if at all possible.
