Livin it One Day at A Time

Disclaimer: I will deny having every watched this mini-series (See below)

If I did watch it, well, it was my Evil Twin. Sirhc Hardy (he has a goatee, and everyone knows, I can’t grow goatees).

He gave me the down low on this evvvilllll Mini Series.

That’s the ticket.

Anyways, to the questions Leigh (disclaimer: she’s married to apparently my former best friend, they have two kids, one which appears to like collecting loose change. I’m hiding my change next time you are up here Leigh ) presented.

1) Mr. Skeevy Collins: WHAT? He has only the best wave in the history of mankind. The way he proposes. I can only hope to one day to get that down. I mean, Lady Catherine de Bourgh is his patroness. How can he be bad at all?

Did I mention he has only the most awesome hand wave in history?

2) I just don’t get it, he doesn’t have wit, charm, intelligence and sincerity like Moi?

(Disclaimer: I have ah.. Never watched Pride and Prejudice. Never)

Well.

Now that I’ve settled that, onto more important people. Mr. Darcy.

Did I mention I learned all I know about P&P from Futurama? (that I like to poke fun at it)

Oh.

Back to Mr. Darcy.

You know, the more I think about it, he could almost be my hero from the Mini Series (That I have Never, Never, Never seen). I am talking the from the first 16 1/2 hours of the Mini series, not the wussy one from the last 28 3/5 hours of the show. I’m talking, he had the CHOPS (both literaly and figuritively.). He knew where he stood in life.

And what was up with all the DANCING?? I mean really? Those poor guys! No wonder they looked grumpy all the time!

I mean common now, Elizabeth, should have been overjoyed that he was proposing to her, but noooooooooooo, she had to cop some tude, and make him feel bad. Then he became all Wussified!

I mean look. Does he look HAPPY at ALL? and she just looks smug!

That Poor poor Mr. Darcy.

I was going to make some Cafe Press shirts that had photos of Mr. Collins on them, but that’s a no no. So I’ll have to figure out to do it another way. It’s hard figuring these things out when you are 232 years old.

I mean any movie/book with the following quotes is plainly evil:

“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?”

“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.”

And the WORST:

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Disclaimer: I’m just relaying all this info from my evil twin. I’ve never been forced to watch this, nor any other Jane Austin movie. Nor for that matter, have I had to watch Anne of Green Gables (which I may, or not make fun of in the future)

Let me start off by saying that I am President of TWWBBGLOTMT (Those Who Were Burnt By George Lucas One Too Many Times). I’m currently looking for a VP, any takers?

I just saw this awesome link for Standing In Line For Star Wars. It made me laugh. It made me laugh hard.

I watched it a few times.

Make that many, many times.

What made it funny, is some of the back story that I have been watching. I recently read a entry from Wil Wheaton where he talks about how the geeks have a gotten in line at a theater that isn’t even showing “Revenge of the Sith”. This has generated a lot of Hate for him.

I think Wil has had his share of hate directed towards him. I also think he just finds the fact that they are lining up at a theater that isn’t showing the movie hilarious.

I want to get one of these tshirts he created.

They are beautiful, no?

Ah, where would the world be without us ubergeeks?

This one goes out to all the girl readers of my blog. I’ve noticed a disturbing trend lately.

That many of the girls I know are fans of a very disturbing mini series.

A Mini Series that wasn’t even made in the good ole USA.

What could be this disturbing mini-series you ask?

Pride and Predjudice.

Not that I’ve seen it. I’ve never been pressured into watching it. Oh no. Never.

So with that in mind. I present only the bestest character in the entire show.

Mr. Collins

He has to be my HERO!

Long live Mr. Collins (whom I’ve never watched on the telly)

The Serenity (Firefly) Trailer has hit the Net!

Oh, in other news, I wrote a small write up of the pinball showdown In Golden on pinblog.com

And I see the following Sign

Dairy Center For the Arts?

I’ve heard of the “National Endowment for the Arts”

I’ve heard of the “New York Foundation for the Arts”

But Dairy Center for the Arts?

What the heck are those people in Boulder doing!?!?

And what exactly can you do “artsy” with dairy products? Cow Dancing? Cheese Sculpting?

Can someone Please help me out here!

At this point, I blame that strange sign (which I had to stop, find somewhere to park, and take a photo of) for the darkened Beniggans. I was surprised to find this restaurant closed. People just couldn’t get their blues busted, I suppose..

I’m confuseled.

Before you get too excited. No. This geek hasn’t gotten a girl yet.

I have started listening to another band though. American Hi-Fi.

Have I mentioned what happens when I like a song? I listen to it.

In fact, I start to listen to it a lot.

Actually, I listen to it about a billion times.

Plus 1.

So this weekend, I obsessed over a song by American Hi-Fi called “The Geeks Get The Girls” As usual, with any music I like. It rocked.

Well, I think it rocked.

They may be a bit of a hair band, but who isn’t??

Anyways, without much further ado:

Another Friday night, to get the feeling right
At the bar when he sees her coming over
What you gonna do, if she walks up to you
Tongue tied better get yourself together
Pound another drink, to give him time to think
What’s your sign hey I think you know a friend of mine
All the stupid lines, that he had ever heard
Wouldn’t come to mind he couldn’t say a word

Tonight tonight, he’s gonna get it right
Even losers can get lucky sometimes
All the freaks go on a winning streak
In a perfect world, all the geeks get the girls

Got her holding steady, forget her name already
Sweatin’ hard not a smooth operator
She’s got it going on, dancing to her favorite song
He’s got the line is it your place or mine
She turns and walks away, where did he go wrong?
But waiting by the car, she says what took you so long

Can you see why I love this Song? Why it is so close to my heart (well, at least until tomorrow.)

And for those of you who are interested, you can watch there lackluster music video here

I have a lot to blog about.

Of course, I’ll forget about it. I am swamped here at work as well, so it will be a while before I get to write it all up.

In fact, I’ll be making this a short post.

To keep ya’ll entertained, here’s an example of what I use to keep track of the blog entries I want to enter.

Saturday was a busy day..

and once I ran out of space on the palm, I resort to the outside of the hand.

The two things I dread when I take “notes” is that 1) They will come off when I’m driving, and 2) Some cute girl is going to come up and talk to me, thus making me nervous, thus making the ink smear.

Wait.. I’m talking about myself. What cute girls talk to 193 year old men! >:)
