Brandon and his girlfriend came over last night and bought us pizza. He’s the best nephew I’ve ever had. We watched Léon and generally just hung out. I couldn’t believe he hadn’t seen it before. I mean, come on! It’s Léon! Anyway, it was a good time, I really enjoy his company and he seems to really enjoy hanging out with us and watching movies.
When did Dan Cortese become Dan “Corteezee?”

As it says on his bio on IMDB, “His surname is pronounced Cor-tez.” So why is it now that all the commercials for his new show pronounce it “Cor-TEE-zee?” Did he just wake up one day and decide to change it? Or maybe he was visiting his Grandfather, who came to this country as a boy, and was told “You dumb shit! You’re name is Corteezee! What do you want people to think, that we’re Mexicans?” Which of course would have been preceded by a sharp smack to the head. Whatever happened, he’s apparently changed it, either that or the announcer is a dumbass.
In fact, I’d like to change the pronunciation of my last name at will, too. From now on my last name will be spelled “Close” but it will be pronounced “Throatwarberler-Mangrove!”
Let me show you an AMAAAAAZING thing

I was sitting at my desk working, listening to my Nomad as I usually do. It was a song from Bollywood Funk that I downloaded the other day. When the song ended, I swore it started again, but when I looked it was a completely different song by Tricky.

Well, things are going pretty well right now. The movie night last night went better than expected. We had a fair number of people show up and had a good old time watching the movie. Most everyone was impressed by the movie in one way or another. Laura said “Oh… …Mygod!” more times than I even expected, and 
Jeremy actually raised his hands in triumph in the middle declaring it the “Best Movie Ever.” Even Ben has put it close on par with Leprechaun 4: In Space which is a pretty high regard in his world. We hung out for a few hours after the movie, trying to decide what we were going to watch next time. I’m thinking we’re going to watch Emperor’s New Groove so that some people who were not willing to degrade themselves with Bad Taste, can participate. Now this doesn’t mean I’m going to keep the cinematic quality this high all the time, I’m probably going to keep the movies varried and rather unexpected. I’m even going to toy around with trying to rent stuff too so that we’re not limited to my movies only.
In Case You Hadn’t Noticed

I got a new Icon… Don’t know if I’m going to keep it as my default, but it’s pretty cool, isn’t it?
Thanks to Fancy and Christy for helping me to make it. Sorry I didn’t use the footage from the Luau, there was a burning Bird House in the middle of all the fireballs.
Bad Taste! Movie Night #1 at My House

Just a reminder folks, tomorrow night is Bad Taste at my place. I’m shooting to push play at around 8:00. Be sure to bring a snack and a drink, bring some to share, pot luck junk food!
See you tomorrow, if you dare!
I’m getting too old for this shit

Steve and I are planning to go to a bar tonight for a wet t-shirt contest. Unfortunately we just found out that the contest starts at like 12:30 or 1:00. That’s like, my bedtime now. Even on weekends, I’m pretty much in bed or at least undressed and on my way by 1:00. To think that we would need to leave the house around 11:30 so as to not end up sitting in the bar for hours and hours on end just seems to go against all my habbits lately. He said he’d call me later to see if he was still up for it. It’s really late for both of us, and I have to be up and at work by 7:45 again tomorrow. If he calls, I’m going to go, but I’m not sure if I’m going to expect his call or not.
Either way, I’m still looking forward to it. Even if we don’t go, I’ll still think it was cool to even plan it.
Sorry for all the Quizzes, it’s been a slow day
