Word of the Day

Fungafied - Something that is covered with fungus.

My Devil Dog Daughter and I went to the movie theater. The Corpse Bride was still showing at the Harkins Theatres, so we drove on over there since neither of us had seen it. At the same time we thought we'd also go see Chicken Little...in 3D. OK. They were both...so-so. The Corpse Bride didn't stack up to Nightmare Before Christmas. I loved that movie but this one was OK. Damning with faint praise. And then we ran over to an overpacked movie theatre 20 to see Chicken Little in 3D. the 3D part was pretty neat once we figured out the glasses. The movie was OK. I did wonder if the alien thing might be a bit frightening to all those kids who just wouldn't stop talking and screaming. However there were some redeeming funny lines that the kids just didn't understand which was just fine. It kept the adults entertained. There were lots and lots and lots of kids. Lots of them. Maybe we should have waited for a few more weeks but DDD probably would have felt strange going to a kids' movie on a Marine base and HTP would have refused to take me to see either of the movies. Oh well. If DDD can make it through bootcamp, she can make it through a kids movie chuck-full of squirming and squealing kids.

Clarke's First Law

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
