Reasons to Read this Blog in 2008

I think that there are signs that our entertainment options are going to be slim pickin's really soon. Let's look at my take on the status of the usual avenues of entertainment (this excludes those of you who are into surfin' for porn).

SPORTS: Football season will be over and crappy basketball will be on, and that's only good when Eva Longoria Parker storms the floor, or the Lakers game has some good celebs making out courtside. Nascar will be the only bright spot with the Daytona 500. Baseball is going to continue to be steroid stifled and *yawn* I don't give a shit who stuck a needle in their ass so they could play better. It's like this, I know I shouldn't eat a Snicker bar at midnight, but I do it anyway, knowing at 65 I'll be on blood pressure medicine. Whatever. I'll probably be shot at a Starbucks in a random drive by first.

MUSIC: Well, I do see a turnaround in music. Seem to hear a vibe of good stuff, but I have to wait and see what the summer concert blockbusters are going to be. I was underwhelmed with Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. I fear a freakin' Barney Reunion Tour is next.

MOVIES: Since everyone knows nothing good comes out at the first of the year, it's snooze city for a while. Why? Because they don't want their movie forgotten at the end of the year when Oscar ballots are issues. OH, and there are no writers to write the movies, so look forward to a suck ass back half of 08 and you will hear crickets in the theatres by this time next year. i bet all we see is books come to life, so get ready for alot of Harry Potter, etc on the screen. I think we can all stand a break from the overzealous promotions we endured this summer. Will anyone ever forget the summer of The Bee Movie. I love bees and Seinfeld and animated films, and I absolutely did NOT go see that movie because they over promoted me to hatred.

TV: Same fate falls on tv scripts that is killing our movie scripts. No writers, no scripts, no words for actors to bring to life. I'm woozy with depression at this sad turn of events.

MUSEUMS: As anyone that knows me can attest, I judge museums by their gift shops. DeeDee's favorite story to tell about me is how I ran into the Louvre in Paris with only 30 minutes until closing. DeeDee felt I should have sprinted to the Mona Lisa. Instead I ran to the poster rack in the gift shop and saw all the art in one fell swoop. Pretty clever on my part, I felt, but she disagreed. Whatev. I bought a postcard and scooted on outside to take pictures, as if I was cultured and wise...which I'm sure you have figured out by now is not exactly a truthful assumption.

COMMUNITY THEATRE: Now we are really reaching aren't we? Do I really want to see the local postman, who has always dreamed of being an actor, stuff his boney ass into some green tights and star in PETER PAN? If you want to see that, tickets are on sale in downtown Sonoma, CA right now. Have fun.

And finally, this blog will be an excellent escape from ELECTION '08. OMG, I CAN'T STAND IT ALREADY. GAG I'm predicting a Barack Obama, John Edwards ticket vs. some Republican dumbass and a bigger dumbass VP candidate. You know, I was listening to some election ballot casting bullshit on the tv, and I told mom...we managed to elect Abraham Lincoln, but we bicker to death around here about how messed up our voting tabulation machines are. Has technology realliy helped us in some cases? Don't get me started.

So, I hope this recap has you bookmarking the blog and I hope you have fun with me, only 2 days to American IDOL!!!
