Wow do I have a lot of random stuff bouncing around my head....
We saw the Grudge Saturday night and if this crap passes as a great horror movie, movies are as sad and pathetic and the current music scene. It's like they took three or four popular horror movies and threw it in a blender to make the Gridge. Such crap. I'm hoping Saw is better. That just looks super creepy, but so did The Gridge in the trailers.
I would like to take a moment to thank Drew Brees. Chad Pennington has been my strarting QB for most of the season. on a whim about 3 weeks ago I picked up Drew. I decided to start him yesterday in my work fantasy league since Pennington will play tonight against a tough Miami defense. After the 1:00 games yesterday I was losing to one of my co-workers by over 50 points. But then Drew Brees threw 5 TD passes agsint the stellar Raiders defense accounting for 43 fantasy points! Plus with a little help from Warrick Dunn I ended up winning 119-105. Woohoo!!!
Rachel and I had never seen the full original Exorcist. We had seen bits and pieces and heard a lot about it, but had never sat and watched the whole thing. Three things really stood out 1) The acting in the 1970's was awful and so over the top and 2) I was sort of offended by all the cursing and foul language of the movie. I had no idea people in the 70's used the "C word". 3) The young priest (Damien) looks like a vietnam era John Kerry.
80 degrees on Halloween. Wow. I'm outside in shorts and t-shirt power washing my sidewalk on the last day of Halloween. Gotta love it. We didn't have a single trick or treater. Perhaps me wearing safety goggles and shooting a high powered stream of water scared some of the kids away. Oh damn, I guess I'll have to eat all the Baby Ruths and Reeses Sticks now.
We've had our DVD player for about 4 years now, so it doesn't have some of the more up to date features like progressive scan and component input. So I headed out to Best Buy the other night looking to spend some of my gift cards that I had received for my birthday. I found this $40 DVD player by a company called Cyberhome that just rocks. It can play just about anything. DVD, SVCD, VCD, MP3, DVD+R, DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW, picture disks etc. It's amazing. Plus it has progressive scan and component input. $40 with a $5 rebate. Sweeeet!!!
There's a relatively new show on ESPN called "I'd Do Anything". It's basically a sports themed Fear Factor. They did something completely out of line on one of the recent episodes. They had these 4 girls on. Each of them were a sports cheerleader of some kind. Most of them were NBA dancers. They had them run a 5k race, which isn't so bad. But after each lap around the track, they had to eat 1/2 pound of food. 1st lap they had to eat a 1/2 pound of nachos, 2nd lap was ribs, then it continued where they had to eat chili, a burger, cole slaw, a milk shake, and potato salad. It was horrible. The girls were basically running around with puke buckets most of the time just hurling their brains out while running in 102 degree weather. It was hideous. And they didn't cut away when they got sick like Fear Factor does. You could hear the puke splattering in the buckets. What made it worse was that if 2 people finished a lap around the same time, t6hey had to sit at the same table while they ate. So one would throw up, and it would make the other sick. Hideous!!!

I had Drew Brees as my Qb this week also, and thank god for that porous Raiders defense! With me and my opponent both doen for the week I am back to .500!
N-zone!
Me and my wife watched the Exorcest recently too and we were disapointed. I guess it was scarier back then. Very interesting blog.

Yeah we did not get any trick or treaters either. Dissapointing. They went to the stores. I am shocked the burbs didn't get any either.
The Exorcist scared the crap out of me.
Yeah I think a lot of the kids go to the big mall near our house. We saw a few kids walking around our neighborhood, but none of them rang our bell.
The exorcist had some moments, like when they are doing the spinal tap on Regan and the blood is spurting from her neck. That freaked me a bit.
