Been famine here for a long time

And that's all I got to say about that.

The Waiting Line

The Garden State soundtrack has a tendency to mellow me out to an extreme. Dare I say, even bring me down, but for seemingly no reason. It's like it stirs the dry embers of depression long-ago battled and allegedly beaten by me. And it almost creates a spark among those embers. In the midst of feeling good, a person never wants to feel down.
So, why is it so hard to resist listening to?

And why do I welcome the thought of encountering those feelings again like an 18-year old who suddenly comes upon their old "blankie"? Slightly embarrassed, but deep inside desperately wanting to feel myself wrapped in it again when no one is around. Maybe I'm hoping to have someone accidentally stumble upon me wrapped in it, sympathize, stay with me, and not ask questions because they already understand. Maybe I've just prone to moments of self-indulgent drama since there's very little in my life I can complain about.

REALLY advance purchase

I have no idea what this DVD is going to contain when it's released, but it must be DAMN good to start pre-orders FOUR YEARS early. It won't still be the 50th Anniversary in 4 years, either. So what gives?
Huh?

Amazon apparently wants to cash in on early pre-orders as well.

Awaking from mid-hibernation

But unfortunately not for anything too exciting.

I've taken a break from trying to enlighten the populace. Work's kept me plenty busy and frankly, I just didn't think anyone cared about old Sammy Bronks. But someone somewhere out there does. And thus today the Blog has been re-awakened...if only briefly, from indifferent lacadazical slumber.

So, anyone seen any good movies recently? Crappy movies worth heckling?

Wow, it's been a really long time since I posted anything.
Oh, and who knew that Phoenix has a "monsoon" season in August. 110 degree days AND humidity- what a winning combination.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but in honor of last weekend's DCA "California Screamin" accident, I honor the blog with the "Evil Mickey" post.

Phoenix

So, I'm going to Phoenix for work the first two days of next week. This will be my first time setting foot in Arizona (unless you count the 40 minute layover I had while changing plans 2 years ago). Curious to see just how hot it is expected to be next Monday and Tuesday, I went to trusty Weather.com for a forecast:

One hundred and frickin EIGHT.
Thankfully it cools off a bit the next day, right? How does anyone live in this climate of sucessive 100+ days?

If I never post again, you'll know why.
