Biggest Loser Final

Krista beat me to the punch on the post on her blog.....but i still wanted to vent. I DID watch the entire season. I grew massively tired of the "Boys DO Cry" club....I couldn't bear another week of Mark and he scrunching beard face. I admire him for losing the weight altho he looks like his muscle mass aint were it should be......He has the look that i did ten years ago when i did Atkins and put it back on wayyyyy to quick. Yes i was happy that Roger made the top three....Did you buy Paul was "too sick" to attend? How bout' the boy didnt lose or maybe even gained weight since he went home.
All in all I thought Curtis and his wife and the two who didnt know each other looked the best...I just had memory moment with their names...

So they build up the show to this "Will we get the first FEMALE biggest loser??"....the final three weigh ins dont START until 9:45....and they milk it...and milk it....Ali didnt step on the scale until 9:58:30......Shes wins...confetti....Alison says goodnight...credits...What the FUCK? Wheres Ali and betty sues hug....where do we see her glasses break...Wheres Jillians vindication moment...Wheres the girl power moment? How bout a shot of Alis family watching the show "live via satelite"? Can't they pace this show differently? maybe a little fucking less RECAP moments??? I dont need see for the 10th time the group in a relay race on day two.....etc....It reminds of when i play RPG video games and i'd play it and play it and you'd defeat the final boss and you'd get no celebration...just the credits and then a REALLY long list
of Japanese game developers.....One more thing....Ali looks great but ya can't fix ugly.....

The decline and FALL of a movie lover

My movie watching and to a lesser extent, movie going, have declined like a bad week in the stock market. At one time i WORKED at a theatre, had to WORK to find a movie that I had not seen. In my "heyday" as a movie renter in the early and mid 90's, I kept Blockbuster in Business. It was part of my friday routine to pick up a movie or two.....It should be noted that i am NOT married to a movie lover but that is only part of the issue. I have access to Blockbuster's version of Netflix and find that i use more for the kids than myself. I can even take my movies TO Blockbuster and exchange them for MORE movies....Last Saturday i wandered thru all the new releases, most I had not seen and NOTHING jumped out to me. It wasn't a hard fought battle basically starting with the "A"s and to the end....and back to see if i missed something. I didn't.
This weekend there is four days of FREE STARZ...the movie channel....I scrolled thru program guide hoping to see something to DVR....What did i come up with? "Platoon". A 20 year old movie.....

SAD..........

The "?" key

I lose my keys at least once a day...just thought i would note that....anyway....I was looking at my keys last night and noticed among my "collection".....Car key, house key, parents house key and asst. nick knacks on the ring...I have a small key. Now when i started working at my current job, they gave me a key for a locker....but i lost it early on (that was 8 years ago). It looks like a desk key....The only other desk i can think of, is the desk i had in Springfield but i NEVER locked it...the main middle drawer was always out of line, and if i pulled it out with too much force, I was lucky not to lose a few teeth.

That means I've carrying this key on my person, for 15 years...now if only it had some useful function..perhaps a keys locater.......
