Great Show

Seriously you all, if you have not watched "Friday Night Lights" the TV show, you are missing a great show (I thought the movie was only ok). It's now in its' third and probably final season but you can catch all three of the seasons for FREE on Hulu.

Do yourself a favor and watch!

on the other hand

Xander and I are sharing earbuds to my computer and we are listening to Huey Lewis circa 1984 and "If this is it" off the Sports album. He likes to listen with me. And he is super cute.

Of course he asks to hear "Life is a Highway." Oh Pixar...why must you do that to me?

UPDATE - I adhered to his wishes. We are listening to "Life is a Highway" but the ORIGINAL Tom Cochran version...not the Rascal Flatts version from Cars... I have standards. They are low, but they are there...

"Sultan" by What Made Milwaukee Famous

Kind of feeling like this. Enjoy:


I've had less than my fair share of lucky breaks
And enough of this fooling around
I've got one last chance to get rid of my past
And bury it deep in the ground
And no matter what you try man
You're never gonna tear me down

When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone

My best bits of advice I'll repeat only twice
After that you can fend for yourself
If you think that your shoes couldn't find better use
About just about anyone else

You need to face up and fold
Or deal with the hand you're dealt

Make up your mind
Are you in are you out
I've no patience for your impetuous doubt

When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
No


I've had less than my fair share of lucky breaks
And enough of this fooling around
I've got one last chance to get rid of my past
And bury it deep in the ground

Make up your mind
Are you in are you out
You'd be better served as a face in the crowd

You never want the truth to be told
And all your major concerns are out of your control
If you don't pick your feet up to come back around
You get stuck in my way you [???]

When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
Leave you alone

Movie Night

Last night I went to the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz to see a showing of the 90's film "Empire Records." Now this is by no means a classic film you must rush out to see but is instead one of those teenybopper movies with a good soundtrack. Meaning I of course like it a lot!

This showing was sold out as part of the monthly series "Girlie Night," meaning the Drafthouse will show a movie that one would show during a slumber party. These special showings tend to be busy so I made sure we (my GF - who puts this movie in her top 10 list - and I) were there an hour before the show started. This guarantees us a good seat (at the Ritz you enter from the back of the theatre, therefore I like the back aisle seats). We actually tested three different spots and settled on a center aisle near the back of the theatre. It was perfect for an early escape, trip to the bathroom and right in the center of the screen. We ordered our food and all was well.

Right before the movie started one of the managers started asking people to scoot down and came and asked if we would move down one seat because there was a party of three who wanted to sit together and they would put folding chairs at the end of the aisle. I said no. I said that I got here an HOUR early to get the seat I wanted. They didn't say anything and asked the people at the other end of the row to scoot - to which they obliged. I felt mean but REALLY if they all wanted to sit together, then they could have gotten their butts to the theatre an hour early and would be guaranteed the spot they wanted to! The theatre still put two folding chairs next to mine for patrons to sit in - meaning they oversold the show. I pushed those chairs closer together and further away from me so I still had my aisle seat.

Now - your opinion...Does all of this make me sound like an incredible crab or do you feel like I am justified in saying no because I planned ahead??
