Wow, though, that guy can sure churn books out fast.  But with several series, he probably has ghost writers I'd imagine.


Yeah, pretty much if says "By James Patterson & _______" then he didn't write shit and just slapped his name on it. More sales for a less know author. Big ass chell for James for doing no work. Only one that loses is the public when they wonder how their favorite author suddenly got so shitty.

I heard that Mallrats 2 is going to be a TV series now instead of a movie.

Which is like... how long can you realistically drag out the whole hanging around a mall premise? How many mall-centric stories are there to tell?

I guess we'll find out. Or not.

That's only because Universal wouldn't green light the movie, but would green light a TV series. I don't expect anymore content...just that content played out to it's extreme.

I'll give Mallrats one thing: it felt relevant for the era it came out in. I can't see how a sequel fits in this day and age. Do kids still hang out at the mall? So many of them are closed now.

I had to drive from Plano to Emory today (1 hour, 20 minutes each way) to help my hoarding mother move stuff from her storage unit to her new smaller storage unit. I smell like the ocean now but the stanky ass part not the fun part.

Highlight was definitely the friend she had come help, who was 79, and his criticisms of the pile of nonsense."Ain't nothing worse then an artist moving. Shit on top of shit on top of shit" "Not sure if this is an heirloom or a Stalin or what." "Here's some more artsy-fartsy crap."
Get a little closer let it fold
Cut open my sternum and pull

:lol:

Get your mom Marie Kondo's book.  Disclosure: I'm a total Kondo devotee and Merla also Kondos.  (Using her method gets referred to as 'to kondo,' kondoing or KMing.)  I've already told my parents, to paraphrase: "All of this wall-to-wall shit you own is YOUR stuff but understand most of it means nothing to me.  If you die before I do and I have to deal with it, I'm taking some of your things for me to treasure and getting rid of the rest."

My mom's already starting getting rid of stuff, too.  It's not the correct method, but it's a start and I'll take it.  The other day I was all "see all of these stacks of magazines?  That shit's going into the recycle bin if you die.  An issue of O Magazine from April 2012 means nothing to me.  See that row of bargain bin DVDs you bought from Walmart and all of these books you keep hoarding but don't read?  I'm taking all that shit to Half-Price Books if you die.  See those Rubbermaid containers that are full of fabric?  If you die before I do, I'm giving those to your sister and calling it a day.  Half of that glass you've collected is getting its ass sent back to Goodwill."

She doesn't like me telling her "if you die" because what I mean is "if you die before I do."  Which sounds like a horrible thing to say to one's mother, I know, but I'm being a realist and I'm looking at things both ways.  I don't want Merla and my mom dealing with stacks of shit in my room if I die.  I think I've gotten rid of close to 40% of my possessions.  And if she dies before I do, I would be even more broken than I am now and there's NO way I could deal with all of her things.  She hasn't read the book yet (it's on her to-do list) but she's beginning to embrace the spirit of it.

Sorry for the blog post there.  :poo:

I'm a semi-horder. After awhile I have a fit and throw stuff away, put it in a box and throw it in the outlying storage shed, or consolidate it to the point of making it manageable. And then it starts anew.

My brother on the other hand has boxes of old newspapers...like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, except he hasn't read and cataloged them yet beyond publishing date. He's way worse than me. At least most of the crap I have lying around has some amount of resale value.

I've been watching Preacher, never read the comic, and they really hooked me with the first couple episodes, but now I find myself losing interest.

And I think it might have everything to do with the over-the-top, goofy cartoon violence. As I understand it the comic was known for being excessively gory, but during the transition to TV, that somehow turned into Itchy and Scratchy.

It's a little disappointing, because all the entertainment blogs were hyping this show as the next big thing leading up to the premier, and now basically no one is saying anything about it.

I'll probably finish watching the first season, at least.

I haven't watched anything on network television that isn't news in a while. And that only sparingly...could we just have Troll and Hildabeast settle their campaigns by mortal combat? Not the game, just literally beat each other to death?

Anyway, the towering intellect responsible for marketing plastic quick connects for garden hoses should get the Nobel Prize for keeping me from having a heart attack. I'm used to using them in medical equipment but only discovered that they made them for water hoses last month. Best thing ever.

Here's another random thought... I want people on TV to stop using the words "body shaming."  I want them to stop because they don't know what it means.  Some fitness woman's trending on Facebook because she was criticized for dressing like a slut at a wedding.  She dressed like a club tramp.  And "body shaming" is actually being used in conjunction to this.

Nobody's picking on her because they're jealous that she's all fit and lean.  The hate has nothing to do with her actual body and she is not being shamed for her body.  She wore an inappropriate outfit that surely upstaged the bride, a wedding no-no.  She's also vain as fuck, with her ten million selfies and her sad attempt to trend a hashtag that promotes her own name in the name of "kindness."  Even her excuse sucked, whining about how it was 90 degrees outside so she had to wear that tiny, skin-tight outfit.  So why would you wear something tight instead of something airy and loose-fitted?  No way you didn't have a river in your ass-crack.  She clearly works very hard to be that fit but someone else's wedding is not the day to purposely call attention to it.

If she had to dress like that due to heat, why didn't the non-chiseled in the bunch dress likewise? She is an attention whore, plain and simple.

Her vanity becomes all the more obvious in that she actually expected different reactions than the ones she's getting. 

Here's another piece of important news trending on Facebook.  Penny from Big Bang posts picture of her dogs' asses on the American flag for Independence Day.  Penny stans insist it's actually a patriotic towel but she issued an apology and no where did she say it was a towel.  The white border near the stars part makes it look the part of the flag a pole goes into, so it really does look like a flag.  But the real funny part?  She didn't even take that picture.  Her pet sitter took it.  Ha ha.  So it was two brains that failed Flag Etiquette 101.

So... Black woman Iron Man.  She looks cool but why not Iron Woman?  I'm going to assume her identity is secret and people just assume she's a man in the suit?  But Riri?  They named her Rihanna's nickname?  Don't they know if you google image search Iron Man woman's identity you get pictures of Rihanna's tits and ass?

I fail to see any problem there.

But seriously I find Iron Girl to be far better than turning the character into a Nazi (Captain America) or a woman (Thor). Besides, it's not like Tony hasn't done this before.

I had a big rant typed up about how Brian Michael Bendis is the whitest man on the face of the planet and this is nothing more than blatant pandering, but you know what? Iron Man comics have always been kind of shit. Maybe they'll actually get something interesting out of this.

That's actually how I get undressed.


P.S. Sulu is gay.  I'd like to grumble "I'm not watching cause of blah blah blah" but I was already not watching.  After making Spock horny for Uhura and white-washing Khan, I was hopeful for something to make me jump back on this ship.  Now I'm just never getting back on it again.

Woof. That second Trek was pure garbage. I'd rather watch the new Ghostbusters than another one of those.

Actually, I will watch the new Ghostbusters. I'm morbidly curious if it's as bad as it looks. It can't be. I already know it'll be better than BFG.

Bitchy Femme Ghostbustas.  You know, they should've made the nostalgia complete and ripped off another Huey Lewis song.  "Heart of Rock and Roll," perhaps?

There's a fan-edit of the Ghostbusters video game from a few years ago that presents it as an ad hoc Ghostbusters III. Seeing as it was actually written by Akroyd and Ramis and voice-acted by all the orginal actors, it may be the closest we ever get to an actual GBIII...unless they wind up hunting for the ghost of Egon. But I don't know if that'd be totally horrible, totally awesome, or both.

The only problem I read people having with it was the lack of optimal camera angles since everything's from a single perspective. But it may yet prove better than the new one.

I have the game, but I got to a point early on that I couldn't figure out how to pass. So I decided that it took way too much time to play just to get the story out of it when I didn't find it that fun.

I tried to download that thing so I could throw it on my server and watch it when I got ready to, since my internet is slow as molasses in January and streaming is a pain. But it doesn't like me downloading it by itself, either, so screw all of it.
