Happy Holidays

Ok, so my blog has gone into "ignore mode" for a bit... But before I left town for the holidays, I wanted to pass along the trailer for the next season of Lost. This show is one of the very few reasons I still subscribe to cable.

Finally, this weekend, I was able to pop my cherry on an experience I've always wanted to take part in, but just never made the time: a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I happened to be in the cool and trendy part of Houston Saturday night, having dinner with friends. They wanted to hit the bars, but I just didn't want to. Not my scene and I'd already been dragged there for my quarterly quota.

So, on my way to a coffee shop, I saw that the River Oaks had it showing. (the coolest theaters I've been to in a while--it was one of only two theaters in Houston to show Brokeback Mountain on opening weekend)



Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. If you've never been to one of these participatory midnight showings, I highly recommend it. They had a very enthusiastic live cast that acted-out the entire move on-stage at the same time it was playing. Dirty. Raunchy. It even got a little wet at one point. I haven't had that much fun in a while. (when was the last time you were *expected* to make noise, be disruptive and throw things during a movie?)

Here we go again--destroying the country

"I don’t think the issue’s about being against gay marriage. It’s about being for traditional marriage and articulating the reason that’s important. You have to have a basic family structure. There’s never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived."

-- Mike Huckabee

Yeah. Anyone remember South Fagistan? They redefined marriage and where are they now? I guess that country didn't survive.

I never realized that Merriam-Webster had the ability to dissolve an entire civilization.

Yeah! Cold?

Finally, our first frost of the year. Too bad it will be gone in an hour. At least it will be a nice and cool 65 today. Enjoy what you can.
