True Stuff

When you stop to think about it...was John Belushi really funny? Are there more fat people at Old Country Buffet than at a regular restaurant. Should there be a moritorium on the word, "hot"?
I watched the Vikings today but it wasn't as traumatic as it could have been if I really thought they might win. I stopped at a 7-11 and picked up a cheese Slurpee and a bag of Cheeto's and I was good to go. Has anyone watched that TV show, Vive Laughlin. This show is like some kind of nightmare. If you thought West Side Story was irritating when these gang members jete' down the gritty streets of New York, in THIS tv show they burst into song and jump on tables at the drop of a hat! Ten minutes into it I was ready to delete...but it was like a car wreck. Not only did I keep looking but I was actually hoping to see some dead bodies.
I went to see that Mark Wahlberg/Joaquin Phoenix movie and it was just o.k. Nothing great. The best thing was seeing that Joaquin had packed on more pounds then Marie Osmond. Yes, yes...I watch that Dancing With The Stars. I have no idea who these people are...Michael Clayton, btw, is pretty good even though George Clooney bugs the crap out of me. It's politics. Speaking of politics...I think libs are more likely to buy into conspiracy theories than normal people. (ha ha) I still think that George Kennedy had something to do with Marilyn Monroe's death. (You know those Kennedys)
Take care.. Rob

They are trying to find a plot so they can string a few songs together -- and the actors' voices are hard to hear over Elvis, the Stones and Blondie (that's as far as I made it) -- which may or may not be a good thing. I'm just back from Santa Fe, where Peggy (she used to watch you on Austin TV) and I spent a few days away from our respective jobs. I spent last night getting caught up on some TV shows that I missed, Laughlin among them. I should have stuck it out to see if it was cancelled halfway through the program. I'm a sucker for musicals, but at least let me care about one of the characters. Cindi (formerly known as Whoopie Woman)

Whenever I hear someone has been in Santa Fe I think of the line from a song in RENT about opening a restaurant in Santa Fe. I know it is quite the frou frou place now...along with Taos...but I remember it from my youth as the 50's version of the Southwest. They've tried musicals on TV often enough without any success. Except on the Simpsons and Family Guy. Their takes on musicals are priceless! Anyway...nice to hear from you...glad your part of CA isn't on fire. San Francisco is...but not your valley!
