"Jaws 2"

I'm watching it on AMC right now. It's been awhile. Jaws is one of my favorite films, and the sequel is nothing more than a cheap knockoff with less talented people and a very obviously tired and resigned Roy Scheider, but it has a certain lunatic charm. It is simultaneously ridiculous and awesome. The shark is an unstoppable, superpowered cyborg killing machine.

Next time you're watching a movie, and you're thinking that maybe it's a badass flick, ask yourself this question:

Does it feature a shark eating a helicopter?

If the answer is "no", then it is my solemn duty to report that the film is less awesome than Jaws 2.

I haven't had one in a long time. but I must confess to being totally smitten by the Progressive Insurance cashier.

Jill thinks I'm crazy.

Here is her imdb page. Look how damn cute she is.

Fireworks

We went to a field by King's Island to see if we could see fireworks. We were able to watch the show, but a lot of smoke was between us and the pyrotechnics.

iPhone / Touch Vox Sign In Screen

Mobile VOX log in

Much to my joy loging into VOX the other day I was greated with a iPhone / Touch sign in screen.

Unfortunately, still no compose page. I hope for the iPhone App Store launch on July 11th and a VOX app from Six Apart.

Have a good 4th of July!

Sorry, I have no videos of aliens taking over the world, or exploding White Houses or anything. What I do have is the best video EVER. EVER.

Happy 4th of July! Try not to burn anything down with your crazy fireworks, ok?

me: Yay, I have you addicted to Bellen now!

How's things?

5:46 PM Sara: you do
?

I checked it...and I didn't like it so much

me: Oh, I thought you said thank you on my blog.

5:47 PM Which suggested to me that you liked it.

Must have been a different Sara.

Yep, it was the other Sara.

Looks like she has better taste than you. :-P

5:48 PM Sara: ha!

i am disappointed that you are friends with more than one Sara

me: Haha.

She's just in my 'hood.

Sara: haha

5:49 PM yeah, i wanted to like it...i started from the beginning and went through probably 50 strips...

me: I'm watching something on the Chiller network called "Rats".

Sure to be a classic.

Sara: i just couldn't get into it

what is that?

me: Umm, it's about rats, I assume.

5:50 PM The description is "A colony of vermin infests New York".

Sara: ewww

me: Which sounds less like a horror movie than it does a description of the population of New York City.

But what do I know?

Sara: haha

right

5:51 PM so i am wondering about you and bellen!...

me: "A colony of vermin infests New York? Okay...but what is the movie about?"

Sara: it seems to schmaltzy for you...

too cutesy

me: Read the newer ones...it's a combination of cutesy and also despair and alienation.

5:52 PM It gets less cutesy over time.

Sara: hmmmm

5:53 PM me: It's very honest about relationships.

5:55 PM So, I'm thinking about doing comics again.

5:56 PM Perhaps an action comic this time.

Titled "America--The Explosion".

One brace man fighting against time to protect America from its enemies.

"brave"

5:57 PM Sara: ooo i like

me: Kind of like "24" combined with "Walker, Texas Ranger".

Which would be the most awesomest thing ever.

5:58 PM Sara: time travel??

me: Umm, no.

Sara: ohhhh

i read "fighting against time" wrong

haha

me: Haha.

You are so dim sometimes. :-P

5:59 PM Sara: no, i just saw some steampunk "artifacts" on someone's flickr, and was in that mindset

me: Ahh, gotcha.

This movie has Madchen Amick in it.

She's still a cutie.

6:00 PM But not like when she was on "Twin Peaks", oh, man.

Sara: haha

me: These rate are just regular-sized rats.

I don't get the big deal.

Now she's being attacked by one in her car.

It's just a rat.

6:01 PM That was ridiculous.

She just ran it over.

Sara: hahahahaha

you can always change the channel!

me: I repeat: it was a normal-sized rat.

No, no, I'm committed to this, now.

Whoa: a preview for Twin Peaks is on now.

6:02 PM SYNCHRONICITY!

Sara: whoa

6:04 PM me: I think I might post this chat.

What the hell?

6:05 PM Sara: i love that you are crying out in the chat like you would in a real life convo...and i have no idea what you are referring to!

are the rats, at least, infected with rage?

are they zombie rats?

gremlin rats

me: I don't know...they're maybe more aggressive?

Maybe they're super-intelligent?

6:06 PM They just seem like regular old rats to me.

Sara: but do they bob and weave?

do they hunger for flesh?

oh wait, regular rats would hunger for flesh

are their eyes all fucked up?

6:07 PM me: This seems like a job for Discovery Channel's Verminators.

Some scientist just said something about testosterone levels "off the charts".

So, they're stronger and more aggressive that regular rats.

Probably with bigger balls.

They didn't mention that, though.

6:08 PM "Jesus, this rat has big balls!"

Sara: they are manly rats

me: "MY GOD...do you know what this means?"

Madchen Amick's gonna get RAT BUKKAKED.

Sara: "Get them to a whorehouse, STAT!"

How are you celebrating the 4th of July?
I washed a very large dog and a load of laundry, cooked five meals (so far) and have to go pick up a prescription.
Livin' the rock star life, I am!

Sounds Like: Kaiser Chiefs cover...ummm...Marvin Gaye?

I guess? If I read correctly...Marvin was the first to actual release the track? If'n I'm wrong....I'm sure one of you smarty pants will fix it/make it all better...

This is one of those albums I've had forever and this popped during a Party....shuffle session...
