Catching up
Jul. 29th, 2007 06:40 pmBeen up to several things since my last entry, and here they are, in no particular order:
(1) Saw two movies: "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" and "The Simpsons". Yes, both are lowbrow humor, but I found them both funny and enjoyable. Either the stunts/comments are becoming more outrageous in Hollywood, or my standards for comedy are lowering... either way, they were both amusing in their own right.
The basic plot of "Chuck and Larry" is that a widower firefighter (Larry) has to figure out a pension problem to where he wants to make sure that his two kids are well-cared for. Enter his best buddy (Chuck), an oversexed womanizer, who agrees to play Larry's gay partner (!!) so he can inherit Larry's pension should something happen to him. That's right, you got two straight guys pretending to be gay partners.
For "The Simpsons," the one-line plot summary is this: Homer Simpson must save Springfield from a catastrophe that he himself created. A quick word of warning for those who may want to take the kids to this: the movie is rated PG-13 for a reason. It's animated, yes, but a good chunk of the jokes and humor is significantly adult-oriented.
(2) Cleaned out the TSX to prep it for servicing and turning in tomorrow. Yes, that's right, I'm turning in the TSX to the dealer. After having thought about switching cars for a while (at least a month), I finally decided to upgrade from the TSX to the RL (still Acura), and a couple of recent test drives I took solidified that. I'll admit, the timing could probably be better, but I'm taking a leap of faith (of sorts) by making this move before having another job lined up. We'll see what happens and how things go.... BUT I do have a couple of potential job prospects lined up, and I'll still be drawing at least some cash in doing HIANG (HI Air National Guard) drills once a month.
(3) I'm in my final week of outprocessing before I leave. Actually, I only have two items left: (a) turn in my access badge and (b) do my final outprocessing on Tuesday. After that, it's two months of terminal leave.
It's hard to say if I'll be able to make FC08 because of the way things are going, but I am hoping I can still go. I do have a room reserved but am holding off on making any kind of flight or rental car reservations until I know for sure that I can go.
Stay tuned for updates.
(4) Been recording "SWAT Kats" off Boomerang. It's good to see the episodes again... unfortunately, Boomerang doesn't show them in stereo, which I kinda miss from when the shows used to air on the local FOX affiliate in California and on TBS (though oddly enough, TBS in Hawaii was in stereo but TBS in L.A. wasn't).
That's it for now. More later!
