it’s very quiet around here right now. Here being work. A lot of people are down south, at the Mother Ship, for the week. Including Evildeb. It means the parking is better and the lines in the cafe are shorter. Hey… Evildeb leaves town and the sun comes out. Coincidence?
I said I would try to do more, in February, in order to have things to blog about. [I finished all the House dvd’s, sadly.] So Saturday night, I did something. I went to a party at Evildeb’s house. She decided to have a function designed around two things, wine and the fact that Tessa had never seen “Yellow Submarine.” Neither had I, but I didn’t mention that since it was already part of the plan to begin with. The only problem with this plan was that Evildeb did not serve any of the psychedelic drugs required to make this movie the slightest bit tolerable. The music was good, that is true. But the movie itself? Everyone kept telling me it is a classic, and that I was just too young to understand. As the movie went on, I kept getting younger and younger. I’m surprised they let me stay up that late.
In the end, the party was enjoyable and Tessa and I proclaimed the movie to be absolute crap. Although we did enjoy singing along to “All Together Now” at the very end. Which, when you think about it, is a pretty crap song.
I think Yellow Submarine is probably like lots of the old Elvis movies – classic in a really bad kinda way.
The wine didn’t even help?
What are your thoughts on Auqua Teen Hunger Force?
My buddy and I tried to watch it with his teenage son. The son was laughing. We were not — and we were drinking beer.
I don’t know if the show is stupid or if I’m just old. (The upside to the ‘old’ part is that we were drinking good beer.)
Meat Wad? Please.
