Roger Corman...


should be proud...

DEATH RACE was awesome!!! They changed the premise but it was still fun as hell to watch. Paul W.S. Anderson has made some REALLY BAD movies in his career, but this isn't one of them.

It is EXACTLY what you think it will be...and still more than I was hoping for. Sadly this version, it is a loose remake of the cult classic DEATH RACE 2000, doesn't go around running poor unaware people over. It all takes place in a prison. Silly movie no great dialogue but lots of fun once the movie gets to the prison...which doesn't take long since the movie is only 90 minutes long.

So...

I have been up to a lot recently.

First, Drake did only have one testicle removed and is going under the knife again. Thanks Alliance for Animals...or should I say TORTURE for Animals? How hard is it to count to 2? On top of that, he also has some skin issue right now, that we have to go back to the vet for...there's another $100 most likely.

Second, I had fun in Indy while there last weekend. Got to meet Lee and Laura's baby Layla. She's a cutie and has some really beautiful eyes. We had lunch with Shane and McNear before heading up to Anderson/Pendleton area. We did the rehearsal thing and then watched Michael Phelps win his 7th gold medal (thanks to DVR). Then Saturday came and I was the photographer at my sister-in-law's wedding. I had a lot of fun, and would think it would be a great job...lining people up, telling them how to stand and when to get the hell out of the way.

Third, the fantasy football draft is this weekend...looking forward to picking a good team, hopefully.

Last, Justin and Fallon (with Giles) are coming to visit at the end of this month. We hope to have a lot of fun while they are in town.
