Musings from the Other Side Part I

Florida is warm. What a Northern State person like me finds funny is how everybody bundles up when the temperature drop to 60 degrees. Yeah, 60. I look at them like they are overreacting and they look at my short sleevc shirt like I'm crazy. Why do I have to be the crazy one? I mean, really.

Sweeny Tood = Blood

I have witnessed Tim Burton's newest movie Sweeny Todd. I thought I was prepared since I saw the play 17 years ago. But I estimate that Tim Burton spent a quarter of the budget on blood. Anymore blood and the theater itself would be drowning in it. It is a fantastic movie but beware that this is not for the squimish. No really, do not eat anything before you watch it. Okay, last warning. I wash my hands of it.

I am Legend or I am still Fracking Waiting

I actually was going to see I am Legend but since my party had a few people that saw it already we went to Sweeny Todd. That was my third attempt to see the movie. I am beginning to get the feeling that someone doesn't want me to watch the movie. Maybe I am being paranoid (okay, more than usual) but it just seems strange that everybody wants me to wait and then they go see it. What's up with that? But now I plan to see I am Legend this Tuesday. Yes, Christmas Day. I will use the power of commerce and Jesus to watch this movie, no matter what. And if this movie does not live up to expectations I am going to start Relevations. Okay, I can't get that mad and I don't know the first thing about starting the Apocalypse (yet) but I really hope I am not setting myself up for disappointment. Go Will Smith.

The Truth..................
.................................... is that 60 degrees in Florida is not cold. Stop breaking out the overcoats. It makes me feel underdressed.
