Did you ever just wake up and think “Boy, I really need a vacation”? Well that’s me right now. First, just to escape winter. It’s been darned cold around here (although it might hit 50 tomorrow!).
Second, my last “real” vacation was in September. The holidays don’t count because they are so busy. Sure, you’re away from work for days and days, but in my case, every day was accounted for. Which is stinky, actually.
Oh well, it’s not going to happen any time soon unless I sign up to listen to someone pitch a time share.
Tivo-related thoughts:
Why is it currently suggesting every Robert Downey Jr. movie ever made?
I haven’t recorded anything of his on this machine. And thank GodI don’t set it to auto record things. I would have ended up with this masterpiece:
“Bank Shot (1974) George C. Scott, Joanna Cassidy and SORRELL BOOKE plan
to rob bank (sic), literally.” [My emphasis]
What kind of description is that? How do you figuratively rob a bank?
And George C. Scott and Sorrell “Boss Hogg” Booke? Cripes, I’m getting
the hives just thinking about it.
I do feel bad that Dave Thomas of Wendy’s died. (I’d also feel bad if Dave Thomas of SCTV died. But he didn’t. Not today.)
I think we’ve all heard the stories about what a hard-ass he was, and all the other things people say about successful business people. But the TV commercial Dave was really cool I liked him. I liked the fact that on bloopers shows they showed how he couldn’t remember his name, never mind any of his lines. It must have been hell to get him to complete a commercial.
But I loved them. He looked very huggable, and that’s a good thing. So goodbye Dave. Maybe I’ll swing by and get one of those Frosty thingies tonight. I know you would have wanted it that way.
