Leah, get it NOW. Christmas is magical all by itself. THIS will give you November Magic: a rarer wonder. (I’m so silly…)
The commentary track is very informing. Did you know they got the kid who voiced Andy to come back and voice college age Andy? How cool is that?!
Actually Sid has a cameo, too, as the garbage truck guy, and they got that kid to come back and do the grown Sid, too.
Any Kubrick fans? There’s this signature “dark expression” Kubrick got his characters to do where the face gets very still, and the eyes glance up through slightly angry eyebrows… they use that to show Buzz’s transition to the dark demo-version prison guard Buzz. Those guys at Pixar are steeped in film tradition, if anyone didn’t know.
Okay, end of fanboy spaz.

I hate sports.

Oh what a difference a year makes. Bub, no matter what happens next weekend we’ll still be friends…right? Right? Bubalicious?

Leah, of course, goofy. I’m not that kind of sports fan.

Leah, I dumped your email addy when my account got compromised and somebody was sending garbage to my contacts. So I’ll have to post you this here. Thought you and the Rev might like it.

It’s downloads (free) of John Cleese’s readings of The Screwtape Letters. It’s a shame this went out of print, and a bit of a mystery as it got a grammy nomination and was well reviewed and popular. Cleese is the perfect match for Lewis’s wit & whimsy. If the “mp3 hum” gets on your nerves, you can score used cassette versions of it pretty cheap online, though brand new ones go for as much as 2 thousand dollars. (Isn’t that insane?).

So do you have the same email? If not, thanks for the link! And shame on you for dumping me. I feel so …used.
November 7th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
I got your email and replied. Believe me, you’re glad I dumped you. Saved you a slew of Arabic spam from a Canadian supplier of sex drugs. Figure that one out.
Advice for all: if you ever have to sign up for anything with your email addy and a password, don’t use the password for your email account. How I could have been so dumb is… well, no mystery, really.
(And no, I didn’t sign up for anything Arabic, or Canadian, or sexual… “nothing of a sexual nature I assure you” – Fletch)… I have learned that it’s common for shady pharmaceutical companies to invade someone’s email and spam all their contacts. How stupid is that? Anyway, I’m lucky it wasn’t a virus instead, I’m told. So never, ever do that. If you’re one of those peeps that has one password you use for everything, it would be far less risky to have a list of your passwords in your wallet/home than to use the same password over and over. At least that’s the word I’m getting from the dude who helped me get out of this jam.

Pizza News: are you all hip to the fact that Pizza Hut’s $8 mediums and $10 larges are the permanent prices now? That’s up to 3 toppings.
$2 charge if you get a specialty like Meat Lovers.
$2 charge also if you get stuffed crust.
Still, for you family folks, seein’ as how they got this depression on… that’s a nice price on what I’d consider great pizza. (Restaurant Snobs, please move along, nothing to see here…)

*sniffs underarm*
Where everbody wentz?
November 7th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Pizza hut? Branch out buddy.
November 7th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Great. I’ve been food snobbed by a Mississippian.
I’m off to the sushi bar…
November 7th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Only cooked sushi please. Papa Johns is way better than PH. Even Dominoes is better.
November 7th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Surely that doesn’t make me a food snob.
November 7th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
You like Dominoes better? Their tomato sauce has that super-chemical aftertaste to me. Oh well, to each her own. I can see Papa Johns, though. Their veggies are yummiest.
I guess if you DO happen to like Pizza Hut, it MIGHT come in handy to know the pizza they’ve been charging 14-18 dollars for quite a while is now firmly positioned at ten dolla. A’ight? A’IGHT??!
*crosses arms*
November 7th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
Have you had Dominoes since they changed ALL their ingredients? Including the tomato sauce? I like how they made the crust all garlic-ee.
November 7th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Guys – sorry I’ve been so absent. More work hell. Like I’ve never experienced.
Bub – thanks for the PS2 recommendation. And what do you mean DOB’s blog has been deleting your post? Do you really think it’s because of content? As you said, they let anything fly on there.
And, yes, yes, yes to the Toy Story 3 DVD. Fantastic. I am a freaking blubbering mess at the end of the movie. My kids are somewhat disturbed by my reaction.

Steve, I know, right? I watched it with my sister, managed to make it through the hand-holding inferno scene, but that damned pass-the-torch scene with Andy and Bonnie in her yard, I’m like, trying to position myself on the couch where my shaking lip isn’t showing.
Freaking Pixar. By the time Bonnie lifts up Woody’s hand to wave goodbye, I’m… this guy:

Leah, I didn’t know they changed ingredients. I swore them off years ago. I’ll have to give them a try.
Steve, sorry your work is having hell. Hate to hear that, really. Hope it improves sooner than later.
November 7th, 2010 at 11:48 pm
That poor guy. I actually saw that episode of Intervention (I’m addicted to that show…get it?). Definitely give Dominoes another go. OK…I’m going to buy TS3 asap. My kids are thanking you guys in their adorable little hearts. They just don’t know it. Speaking of adorable hearts, I was helping at my 5 year olds school and I over heard him telling his friends that I was the coolest Mom ever. Bliss.

Whatever wOBA is, Chipper Jones was the 9th best offensive 3rd basemen in it last year, even with his struggles. That makes me a little hopeful that with even a slight rebound next season, he might not be an albatross.
November 8th, 2010 at 12:34 am
Oh, and re: DOB deleting me, no, it couldn’t have been the content. The man just hates me personally. Not that I’ve ever been paranoid.
November 8th, 2010 at 3:16 am
Bub – I decidedly CANNOT make it through the inferno scene. Damn, what a great movie.
November 8th, 2010 at 9:53 am
Pansy.
November 8th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
You people don’t like sushi?
November 8th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
The risk alone keeps me from trying sushi.
November 8th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
I’ve only had sushi twice. We had Korean neighbors when I lived in Auburn and they were forever having cook-outs involving sushi. They drove to Atlanta to get their groceries from a special store. It was all good stuff. Spicy, though.
Gosh, I miss living at those apartments. About 1/2 of the units were filled with international students and their families. There were three huge abandoned mattresses (not as ghetto as it sounds) on the lawn that young kids would play on and jump on during weekend mornings, and there would be 5 or more languages/accents represented in all the giggling and singing. I wish I had filmed some of it.
