Snowed in. In fact it was a state of emergency and no cars were allowed out on Saturday. Just fine by me. I watched RetroTV: Run for You Life, McMillan and Wife, The Bold Ones, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Gallactica, and Wolfman Mac’s Chiller Drive-in: Horror of Party Beach. I made pizza for lunch and pasta with hot Italian sausage for dinner. It was a fun day.
It’s supposed to snow another foot tomorrow. This global warming is just too much!

I made myself into a Man Men character!

Holding a martini in a board room! Yep! That’s me!

I went home today and had a taste of the fantastic beet soup. It was horrific! Well, I guess it would be great if you like beets but I really dislike beets so it wasn’t something I enjoyed eating. I should have realized that sooner.
This evening I experienced Avatar. “Experienced” seems to be a better word than “saw” or “watched.” I had no real interest in seeing it but Pookie told me it was amazing and so I guess my curiosity got piqued. Plus Lisa and Mom asked me to go and I can’t say no to those two crazies. With the 3D glasses pinched to my nose I nestled into the seat ready for… something. As the 3D previews played, a feeling of excitement rushed over me. This should be incredible! The technology is unbelievable and it’s clear these people can do whatever they want! They can let their imaginations run wild! I became excited by the sheer possibilities!
And then I watched what was essentially a remake of the battle of Endor.
Visually, the movie was amazing but story-wise I found it boring. I miss the good old days when the bad guys were Russian. The whole USB tail made me laugh. And I kept waiting for a drum circle.
Regardless of my feelings, I realize that this movie is ushering in a whole new cinematic experience. I just hope there’s enough creativity out there to do something good with it.
