Two things I have learned today:

Apocalypse Now is based (loosely at times, plagiarized at others) on Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness".

Instant iced tea kept in the fridge for a few months grows some wicked mold. biggrin (henceforth referred to as Fuzzy Tea)

It's not plagiarizing.....it's called "an homage"

I am back from the jewel of Monroe County. Once again, this favorite grandson made his grandmother ecstatic.

It was a nice, quiet holiday, just myself, my grandmother, and her new stove. It's a nice stove but it's electronic. I hate electronic stoves. tongue It's just plain un-American to push buttons when twisting a knob worked just fine before.

Wait, what am I talking about. Pushing...

You know, I was just about to tell you that.

Heart of Darkness is on my "to read" list for the month between semesters.

The used DVD store in town had a couple copies of the '32 version for sale, I bought one of those. I've owned the DePalma version for awhile now.

The museum is doing Apocalypse Now next weekend, I think I am skipping it. I can appreciate that it is a good movie, but I just don't think of it as an entertaining movie.

Speaking of the museum....Duck Soup is this weekend.

Shh...secret pr0n site update on my not-as-devout-as-she-used-to-be-Catholic grandmother's phone line. wink

The biggest topic of discussion this Thanksgiving trip? "Will you still have a job?" (referring to the respective quagmires that are FoMoCo, GM, and Delphi)

Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Yes, but I'm curious how those may affect my benefits and/or wages.

Okay, that's enough of a secret pr0n site update. The time has come...

In a bit more than nine hours, I will be ensconced in an aluminum tube winging my way to the Crown Jewel of Monroe County, Rochester, New York, to spend Thanksgiving with my grandmother.

I'm flying Mesaba Airlines--the bankrupt puddle-jumper air service whose parent is bankrupt Northwest.

Tempting Fate, that's me. biggrin

Tonight was the first time in a long, LONG time I ever wanted to throw my computer into a brick wall. Repeatedly.

AtomFilms has a Bullwinkle short I wanted to watch. For some stupid reason, their site absolutely refuses to recognize I have Flash installed on not one but two browsers (Safari & Firefox), so I had to resort to that most evil of programs,...

My favorite Seussiness of all time.

Oh, I KNOW. That was the only thing I hated about the U.P. (besides the wind off Lake Superior). I like big, fluffy flakes, not that driving, wet, "oh my god kill me now" snow.

Still. It's so pretty. smile I love watching it. I bounced into work today (yes, bounced) and said, "It's snowing!!!" Several co-workers growled at me. biggrin

See this? It was released two days ago.

It is a well-known fact I am an Allan Sherman devotee. I have all the LPs (Well, almost all the LPs; I'm still looking for a couple of the "Best of' LPs), a few 45s, and his most famous book. Soon I shall have his autobiography & the Camp Grenada board game.

BUT!!! This new, limited-edition, Rhino...

So it appears Hizzoner has been reelected.

Lovely.

Where's the MFIC when you need him? He may have been a crony & a crook, but at least he was good at it.

A brief (yes, I can be brief tongue ) overview of the weekend:

Saturday afternoon, Oninotaki and I set out for GR for EvanXtreme and MistressMissy's Housewarming Party, with a side trip to K'zoo to pick up TiffanyJewel. On our way through Jackson County, we had a amazing thought. "Hey, we haven't seen WilliamtheMad recently. Let's see if he's working this weekend." TiffanyJewel agreed...
