When I Was Your Age

2007-01-19 - 12:16 p.m.

Things are pretty quiet here at Chez Too Old.

I spent most of yesterday being an armchair potato (we don't have a couch). Watched a lot of City Hunter and some Deal Or No Deal.

TV Land is now running M*A*S*H at midnight and Star Trek at 1am. Ever have a show where, even if you've seen all the episodes and know them by heart, you still MUST watch it if it comes on? M*A*S*H is one of those shows for me.

At some point, I'll just have to say no and go to bed at a reasonable hour.

===

Here's another article about the Michael Vick situation. Nothing new is added to what was already reported.

Again, I'm glad my few vices are legal.

===

Speaking of those, nothing that I'm interested in is out on DVD this week...which is good, because the cash that I DO have is budgeted for other things.

Again, sometimes I have to learn to say no. No more cool things until at least February...or at least very few.

Discipline, boy.

===

Speaking of discipline:

It wasn't until I'd read this article on Full Metal Jacket that I found out that it was Vincent D'Onofrio that played the tortured private Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence. It amazed me that the slim good-looking guy on Law & Order:Criminal Intent played the fat, doomed trainee.

Turns out he put on 70 lbs for the role. Damn, he's good.

===

There's a site called Superdickery.com that is dedicated to comic book covers and scenes that show superheroes in...well, go look.

Some of these are just...WRONG.

===

Charlie just stumbled in. I greeted him, and he said, "Eight o'clock staff meeting. Don't ask."

What else could I do? I blessed him - in Latin - and told him to go to bed.

And now, I - like Elmer Fudd - will be vewwy vewwy quiet.

===

Today's title comes from "Weird Al". Just in case you wondered.

Remember: I either have to know the song or know the artist.

My site, my rules.

===

Be seeing you.

Well, everything IS better with monkeys. Or at least orangutans. The eerie thing is that on my iPod right now is the original "Polkas on 45".
