random musings.......

we watched a really screwed up movie last night. "monkey shines" came out in the late 80's, and i know i've seen the box at the video store a million times. well, we rented it and it was nuts! you can read the wiki article i linked, or listen to my take on it....

to me, this was a classic boy meets girl (sexy, but vain brunette), gets run over by a truck, ends up in a wheelchair, grows a beard (because he's angry), loses girl, gets a monkey, finds a new blonde girl, shaves beard (and becomes "proud cripple"), becomes too attached to monkey, monkey is injected by goofy scientist with human brain cells and.... you get the idea!

it was a little dated and sometimes the acting cheesy, but it's a good one! especially when the monkey hugs the wheelchair guy, and later on when he has surgery and...yeah, you need to rent this one!

in other news: glittermom informs me that jerry lewis is guest starring on law & order as a homeless guy accused of raping a mother and daughter. he already creeps the hell out of me, so this should be the final nail in that coffin. i wonder if he'll ever release his infamous film starring himself as a clown at auschwitz???


also, i will do more research into my new favorite cable channel (the one i have dubbed "the asian crying channel".) i'll see if i can find some good youtube footage!

and finally, i am looking for opinions on the differences between guys and girls when they are sick. not that this has anything to do with me and groundcat being sick all weekend with massive head colds. no, not at all! but my mom wasn't the first person to point out to me that men are babies when it comes to being sick. opinions???

drive out to melonhead country....

around the house.......
