Friday: Until Next Time

Let me put this right out.  This will be my last post for the next month.  I’ve been ridiculously boring over the last few weeks (I had 241 hits in June, and in July I’ve had less than half that).  This is also becoming a drag every night, and even though this started as kind of a commitment exercise, I think it’s time for a break.  So for the month of August this will be the post at the top, dated July 29th, 2011.  I will be back however, on the first day of school, exactly a month from today.  Then I’ll hopefully have something better for you than the slop I’ve been throwing out for the last few weeks.

So, seeing as this is my last time for a while, I can still end it in style.  And it just so happens that I actually do have a few things to write about today.  First, let’s start with Summer Stage.  Rugrats was awesome, and thank you Anthony for persuading me to go.  I’m not sure if it was supposed to be a comedy or not, but it forced out some laughs I didn’t even know were there.  I don’t remember the show that well, but after a while some of it started to come back.  Love the acting.  Love the singing.  And Anthony, that dog costume was hilarious.  If they ever do another version of Underdog (not likely), you should definitely audition.

Then, kind of as a footnote, after the play my mom and sister dragged me around to Kohls to go shopping.  Still, I finally got a new iPod-to-stereo cable at RadioShack, and I can finally hear out of both my speakers.  Also, Borders is having their clearance sale, so I got Inception.  Finally I get to watch this damn movie (it better be as good as you all told me it was)!

Then, to round it out, my sister went to see Deathly Hallows Part II, (mediocre movie), and with her gone I watched History of the World, Part I.  Mel Brooks is awesome, and I’m not sure why I don’t watch more of his stuff.  I’m serious, even if you’re not a history geek like me, watching a fake Leonardo Da Vinci paint a fake Jesus with Brooks holding a pan behind his head like a halo is a lot funnier than it sounds.  And then there’s Rue de Merde in Paris, and if you don’t know what that last word means shame on you.  Here’s a hint: Google Translate.  Yeah.  Funny right.  Go watch the damn movie.

SONG OF THE DAY: BULLET

 

Now enjoy some Bon Jovi, it’s the last song I’ll be giving you for the next month.  Wow, I just realized that I’m actually going to miss this.  But I’ll be back on August 29th, so just wait until then.  I’ll bet some of you are even hoping that the 28th will last forever.

Adios.
