| Rosco, Doc Brown, airplanes, and black carrots. |
| 02.24.06 (4:24 pm) [edit] |
I'm on a good schedule at the moment...... been going to bed before 11PM and waking up around 8AM. Now, I haven't intended to wake up that early, in fact my alarm clock is set for 10:30AM, but... it just keeps happening. Either I have to go pee, or a truck with a rumbling engine goes down the road, or I just jump awake for no apparent reason. It's so early, very unlike me, and even more unlikely is that when I try to go back to sleep, I usually lay there for over an hour sometimes and just can't!The good thing though - I've been catching The Dukes of Hazzard almost every morning at 11AM on CMT. It's on again at noon, then at 7PM and midnight - I'm in Hogg heaven! I forgot how great that show was, I love it! Interest renewed. The first episode today was awesome. It was the General Lee's birthday, and they had a "flashback" and showed us how they aquired the General, where he came from, how they souped him up with a nice engine, and why they painted him orange. It was Uncle Jesse's idea to name him General Lee! I usually hate cars, but I ADORE the General. If I was gonna get a car, it'd be that orange-red Dodge Charger, complete with the Dixie horn and Rebel flag on top. And that beautiful sounding engine!! But I'll stick with a pickup truck for now... I love the Duke boys, but Rosco's my favorite. He just makes the show! What would it be if the Dukes had nobody to run from and jump 50 feet in the air over creeks and highways with the General? Rosco's such a dork but I love him. And he's got them classic good looks - I've seen pictures of him in his 30s and....................yeah. Classic actor good looks. Kinda reminds me of James Garner (but better, methinks). Last weekend, the Collings Foundation bombers were back in town. The B-17, B-24, and B-25 were here - we got to go in all of them too (well, not really go inside the B-15, but they let you look up through the bomb-bay). I looked for our Swedish pilot friend, Caroline, but didn't see her. While we were there, they took off in the B-17 and B-24, giving rides to paying riders. I think Caroline was the pilot in the B-24 (they made her a full pilot now, not just co-pilot), but I have bad distance and couldn't make her out. I took a bunch of pictures which I'll put on my website in the next few days (as well as pictures from the Kiss Country Chili Cookoff - we have to pick up the photos this afternoon). I'm also gonna redo the wallpaper section on D&D... I'll put them into a few different catagories so they'll be more managable and the pages will load faster. I've got a bunch of new ones to add, too, as well as those pictures! I'll post here as soon as I get it all done. Besides Dukes, my latest love is Back to the Future. I've always loved those movies but I watched them all again recently (okay, so we watched all three of them about five times in a row within a month, not to mention all the times they've aired on TV since then) and I'm in love with them again. They're just the kind of movies you can watch oooooover and over and never want them to end (like Pirates of the Caribbean). They never get old!! Awesome stories, actors who are all perfect for the parts, and an amazing soundtrack. They really are well-done, it's so cool how all three movies tie in with each other so flawlessly. Maybe they'll make another one some day. I wouldn't mind seeing "Doc" Brown again... heh heh. I recently found a sound file of one of my favorite quotes from him, "[If my calculations are correct], when this baby hits 88 miles per hour.... you're gonna see some serious sh*t." I joined MySpace not long ago. Not that I needed to, I mean, I've already got my website, blogs, and Yahoo 360° - I just felt like something new to fiddle with. It was fun setting up and designing my little page. Plus, a couple of friends wanted me to join. One of them had sent me an invitation which I kept putting off looking at for over two months. I was starting to feel bad about that, so I finally joined up as swamp_music. I've met some interesting people, including a nice little band called Point South (they found me, and told me I rocked. Heh. I dig them though, check them out), as well as a singer who sounds very very much like Danny Joe Brown (of Molly Hatchet) but without DJB's growl and a smoothness reminiscent of Ronnie. It really is interesting how many dudes contact you when you're listed as "single". I'd had a picture of me in my photo album, but promptly removed it because of this. I just wrote in my profile that I'm there to be connected to friends and meet new friends, but I'm not interested in meeting guys there! There's too many weirdos on that site! But like I said, I have met some nice ones too. Ah, here's something to complain about. Our Walgreen's doesn't have my favorite tea any more, except in the tiny glass bottles in the refrigerated section - I want the JUGS dangitall!! Those little bottles, however cute, are a goshdanged RIPOFF. 99¢ each when the giant jug is about $2.00. Anyway, it's the AriZona No Carb Blueberry Green Tea. I don't give a heck how "healthy" it is, or that it's no carbs, I just love this tea. I could drink a gallon of it in one day (and I have). The peach and white cranapple ones are all right too, but the blueberry is my favorite. It might sound nasty, but it is good, and it doesn't really taste like blueberry to me. It's a lovely color though, a purplish pinkish with a touch of blueness.... very pretty when held up to the light. I don't even think there's blueberry in it, I just saw this... it says "Premium brewed Green tea using filtered water, sorbitol, natural flavors, citric acid, black carrot extract, sucralose, acesulfame potassium." Black carrot? That sounds even stranger!!! After sniffing around on this AriZona site for a bit, I found this here little promotion - a complimentary Buckeye Blake Poster with any order of AriZona Powdered Tea! Check out that poster, I really am digging it! I love the artfulness of it...not to mention it's a cowboy. I just ordered one can of peach powdered tea so I could get the poster. I've never had their powdered tea before - I'm not even sure I've seen it - but I love their regular peach tea, so I'm sure to like it. The little tin it comes in is cute too... (A.E., another trinket! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH-ahem). Oh by the way, Little Black Cat hasn't been here since two nights ago. I sure hope she returns. I'll wrap this up with some rather nice pictures of Johnny and Donnie. Yeah...   |
