Yes, once again...
Mika graces the pages of my blog with Big Girl (You are Beautiful)...
Don't worry dear readers, soon I will run out of Mika videos.
Speaking of Mika, I guess he is being sued by a Belgian reggae singer also named Mika. I guess she doesn't like him using the same name. I guess she thinks people will be confused or something. What I can't figure out is this...is she also going to sue this Mika, or this Mika, or this Mika, or this Mika, or this little Mika devil...? What? Because they aren't as well known or profitable? Hmm, can everyone say "KACHINNNGA".
Ever since watching "3:10 to Yuma", I have been hungry for westerns. The next book on my reading list is a Louis L'Amour called "The Lonesome Gods". I have never read anything by Louis L'Amour so I am not sure how I will like it. The only westerns I have read are "Lonesome Dove" and "The Dark Tower" series which could be considered a sci-fi western. I remember growing up when my uncle always was reading one of Zane Gray's novels. I will have to try one of his as well.
The new season of "Heroes" begins tomorrow. And a new "House" on Tuesday. It's about time I started posing about important things like the new television season. I watched "Survivor" last Thursday for the first time in almost a year. One of the survivors is from Montana; I guess she used to be some sort of Miss Montana or something. While watching the show, all I keep repeating to myself was "Please don't let her be stupid and get voted off first." BUT surprisingly, she comes across as being intelligent...well, except for the cowboy boots with shorts. I will have to forgive her for that.
In other mindless news, we went to see the movie "Eastern Promises" on Saturday. It is a movie about the Russian Mafia in London. It wasn't bad, quite a few bloody scenes but pretty tame for a David Cronenberg film. And an added bonus....you can see far more of Viggo Mortensen then you ever dreamed possible. WhooHoo!
ok. So speaking of late 1800's movies, did you guys ever see Cold Mountain in the theatres? It is possibly the finest civil war movie I have ever seen. It was GREAT! I know it came out a few years ago but us enginerds don't get out much. lol.

Yeah, I think we saw that one. Wasn't Jude Law in it? I didn't really care for it because there was too much romance and I don't really like movies like that. Romance makes movies seem unreal to me. I only like certain movies that are like that, for example "What Dreams May Come" and "The Wedding Singer".
I remember Rene Zellweger's part in Cold Mountain...it was pretty good. I think she is a good actress.

Yeah I know there was an underlying romance story but I think overall it had enough action to keep even the manliest man pretty happy. Plus, the guy died in the end. How awesome is that?

I forgot about that...he did die in the end didn't he? Those are the romance stories I tend to like...when someone dies at the end! :-) I think constantly reading Stephen King has warped my psyche!
