- Caught about 30 minutes of No Country For Old Men last night on cable. I had seen it in the theater and walked away with a "good but not great" review. I might have been too harsh.
- Great Baylor game last night. It's fun just to be competitive again (although it's kind of sad that I'm happy with that.)
- ESPN's College Game Day is more fun in theory than in practice.
- I need to mow the yard.
- I'm not sure I know one song on Billboard's Top Ten - I haven't listened to music on the radio in the last six months. I need to fix that.
- I can't sleep late any more.
- Edit: If you didn't see it, the I Hate This Hummer guy from Southlake turned himself in. He's 72. He probably wants a do over.

So in Wise County where do they sell that compressed air shooter he uses in the movie?
Me needs to get some of that gourmet coffee they talk about in "Bucket List", have you seen it?
That movie was 100% HORRIBLE. Worst movie I've ever seen
Can't wait for Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" to come out on film in November...talk about a heavy thoughts book.
I had watched almost the whole thing on DirecTv, then I heard some cows yammering, and had to get up and go see what was happening.
That damned white cow with the horns had jumped the fence again, and brought along two of her pals. They had commenced to eating my fall garden, so I had no choice but to quit watching this wonderful movie, and herd their stupid asses back to the field.
So, when I got back, it was at the point where the bad guy was in the car wreck, and bought the shirt from that kid for a hundred dollar bill........I saw him walk down the sidewalk, then it cut to Tommy Lee talking with his wife, and then the movie ended.......
I was like WTF, and then, as I watched the credits and realized it was a Coen Bro's film, I could sorta deal with it.
That white cow with the horns....we'll we bought her from our neighbor, because she just kept coming over here to eat our feed and our greener grass. That evil cow biatch and her two compadres will soon be sent to market. We don't have much patience for the evil cowness. If I'd had one of them cow killin' things like that evil guy in the movie had, believe me, I would have used it on that bovine with the horns.
And that reminds me of the registered Santa Gertrudis bull who kept jumping the fence from our other neighbor.....well he kept coming over, we'd catch him and haul him back to his real home, time after time, (I'm thinking about 10 times at least) but damn, we got some nice calves out of him.......we didn't have to pay his owner...we happily fed him our special feed mix and all the green grass and hay he wanted. Finally, we just took him to market after two or three years of that stuff, and had the check made out to the owner.......then, we got us two Charolais bulls, one for now, one for the future......mmmmmm.....Charolais bulls make for some really nice beef..........especially if their is some Santa G in the mix!
I think we must be doing something good for all them neighbor cows to keep coming on to our place......
I must admit when I started watching "No Country for Old Men" that I thought it was the one with Daniel Day Lewis in it, you know, "There Will Be Blood"......I can't figure out why I got so confused. I'm thinking it's the evil cowness that creates such problems for me.
Wow 12:20...I think you need sleep
"Owning a vehicle that represents the raping of the environment and makes it's owners feel like they can run over anyone they want should make the owner liable for any "vigilante" that takes up for what he believes in."
A comment from the DMN story on the 'Hummer Vandal"
Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
Damnda 12:20 reading that was like watching the movie all over.Have to admit its better on Pixie-sticks and Capn Crunch sandwichs with a good ol' Jolt cola to wash it down with. LandShark
The book was better. Both the book and the movie had an odd technique though -- a main character was killed off-camera. I'm not sure what was up with that. McCarthy and the Coens are all geniuses, so I must be missing the subtlety or something.
About a quarter of the way through the book I thought to myself, These are my people. Not the dead drug deal guys, the other ones.
12:20......................
That story makes me a little bit horny. Go figure.
No Country for Old Men is an outstanding film, one of the best of the decade for sure, should be in Top 100 of all time.
The Road is a tremendous book, not sure how a movie will work but I'm excited about that.
heads or tails either way its a win/win.......
