Robin is the Man

Bennie and I went to see Robin Williams in Concert and it was awesome. He was as funny as ever, but he was a little bit calmer than I have seen him in other concerts. He was hilarious, but completely controlled. He had topical humor, but certain points he wanted to make. Definitely worth it. If you get a chance, you definitely have to see him.

Reminder of Little Felicia

According to my mother, as soon as I learned to talk, I never stopped. I also like to be the center of attention, which is still true to this day. I am pretty sure I came by that honestly though. This clip from Family Guy which was on tonight totally reminded me of myself then and even now. I cannot stand it when someone ignores me. Also, when someone ignores their kid, it's like they are scraping a chalk board, even though the kid doesn't have a lot to say, just like Stewie or myself most of the time.

Anyway, enjoy.

Joachin Phoenix is becoming River

Joachin Phoenix is one of my favorite actors. He has gone completely over the deep end. I know he had a pretty serious drinking problem and went to rehab for it. But it's pretty clear he does more than that now. It's unfortunate since he is so talented and you would think he would no better since he watched his brother die of a drug overdose in LA.

What a Shame.

Some Things you just don't want to see

Last week, I unfortunately discovered that I did not have some cute squirrel living in my attic as the Shoops guys had told me. After they changed the trap, they caught, (puking a little now) a pretty large rat in my attic. Now for more bad news, if you have one rat, you have more than one. Since my dog doesn't go in the attic we put the trap back out and poison that is single acting. That means it only kills what eats it and doesn't hurt what eats the rat.

Well that came in useful today. A few days ago, I got up in the middle of the night to get something to drink and starting screaming because there was one in my kitchen scrambling to hide under my dishwasher. It had been eating my dog's food. I thought this had been happening so I was feeding her only a little at a time, but she didn't finish off her food.

Now to the big moment. Today. I open the door with full hands and the door opens all the way. Mindy's food is right behind the door and she usually greets me at the door unless she was sound asleep in bed. Today she was slow to meet me. I look down and see a tail under the door where her food is. I don't go in the house but kind try to peek my head in and here comes Mindy. Well the rat starts to run off to its hiding place but it happens that Mindy is right there and she bites the hell out of it and that thing squeels. Now Mindy wants it bad. Sorry but I'm not going in that house. Unfortunately we also had a bad storm rolling in also, but I decided I would rather ride it out in my car than go in the house. Luckily Bennie was on his way.

When Bennie got home, he saw where Mindy was alerting (behind the fridge) and he moved it so she could get back there. Sure enough, she caught it's and it went further back. To make a long story short, I had to turn off the electrity because this thing had made its hiding space in the fridge by the motor, but Mindy sniffed it out and "gulp" killed it. As I said at the top, not something I wanted to see my sweet dog doing, but it is bred into her (Dachshund).

Evidently President Obama is quite the Beyonce fan. I saw him demonstrating the hand movement in this video, but he commented he wouldn't dare put on a leotard like Justin Timberlake. Nice to know he keeps up with current television.

My Fave Must See

Ok, I don't dream of hitting small animals, but I must admit I laughed the hardest when the little Koala was punched. Unfortunately, some days I go to work and do all of these things, and some days I just do a couple of these things. Therefore, this commercial got my vote for best Super Bowl commercial.

I like wine, but....

I can never imagine having enough money to be able to say that I can bring myself to pay in the $100,000 range for a bottle of wine. Granted, I don't have a lot of money, but I felt guilty once for paying $100 for a bottle.

This book gives a peek into a world that I can never imagine. A world where people think nothing of dropping thousands for a bottle that they believe to belong to Thomas Jefferson. Key word, believe. I read the book in a weekend without wanting to read anything else about it. After reading, I read that movie rights have been bought and have seen the pictures of the players involved. They were almost as imagined. I can almost see Tom Hanks playing an investigator in the movie version, finding out the truth.

This book also educated me about wine as well.
