Oh this movie was awful. Terrible, terrible, terrible. It was so out there and so idiotic I basically got the only laughs from the movie laughing AT the movie and Adam Sandler. This movie is trash.... so boring and idiotic... The week before I thought I had a new worst movie ever. This is replacing that. Adam, what the hell were you thinking getting into this mess? Some magazine gave this movie a C+ but it's a definite F-! The jokes were not funny (OK a few were), the plot was insanely stupid, the characters annoying and the fact that Zohan basically fools around with nothing but older ladies was a little sick if you ask me. And there's a cameo by the actress who plays Mrs. Garrett on Facts of Life, Charlotte Rae. Charlotte, why??? I thought you had better sense than to act in films like this. But don't worry I still am a fan. It wasn't even funny when John McEnroe was dancing shirtless at the Hacky Sack Championship (BLEEP???). John I am a fan still but even you had to feel stupid doing that.
Trust me this movie is a failure of epic proportions.

I don't know why I had never heard or read about this before, but I just read on CNN.com -- today -- about a soldier being removed from active duty due to his picking up an innocent puppy and then throwing the poor thing off a cliff while it yelped. Even more disturbing the man, it reported, was laughing as he did this! What sickens me is this was an American doing this! I could picture a terrorist or someone truly evil (like a criminal) doing something like this but to have a member of the military (our military) harming a defenseless animal is beyond disgusting. I should almost stop reading about these cases because I am such an animal lover, and cases of animal abuse/neglect and stories like this make me sick to my stomach. They say what goes around, comes around. And for the man who did this, I hope its true.

So the national average for a gallon of gas is now $4.00 a gallon!! My word. It almost seems like a bad nightmare but it's reality. I don't even own a car (haven't for a few years) or drive, but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect me. At the grocery store, everything is going up in price. A gallon of milk is now about $4.50 a gallon! Eggs are more expensive, so is yogurt, as well as even soda (like Coke) (which I drink too much of, admittedly).... It is just so infuriating that there is absolutely nothing that can be done to stop the insanity!! It does help, though, that there is an option like food support (food stamps). I used to think like five years ago, 'I'll never need food stamps..... etc.' and fast forward five years and I am now using food stamps which, I admit, does help a lot. But I will admit it does bruise my ego a bit and I don't know why.....
I think the most aggravating thing about this whole mess is that there's simply NO SOLUTION in sight! What's next, $10.00 for a gallon of milk? $5.00 eggs? And now they say that drivers could be paying $5 per gallon by July 4! That really is painful, even to non-drivers like me! I'm sure now Metro Transit, which I depend on to get around, is going to charge more for their normal fare which is somewhat understandable yet totally annoying.
I guess the only thing we can all do is just hang on tight and 'hope' things get better soon! Pretty crappy advice but then again it's the truth.

I am glad that summer is about to start (officially) in a couple of weeks. But I really am eager for some hot temperatures, like the East Coast this weekend. This spring we have only seen like 2 or 3 temps at 80 or so (my estimate) so I'm concerned that this will be another summer like 2004 when it never seemed to really warm up all of that stretch. I say bring on the heat and humidity! And please bring it soon....

I really have to laugh at this latest American Idol "controversy". Apparently this show has a quota of 2-3 controversies per season. And this latest (non)-scandal involving that David Hernandez guy (hope I got his name right) is absolutely ridiculous. I seem to recall that while definitely not the most prestigious job in America, strip dancing is completely legal, so why a scandal? Firing him for not having done anything wrong is ludicrous as are suggestions supporting any punishment. Unless he has done some truly immoral, illegal, and terrible things that would bring bad publicity to the show, then keep him on. This whole 'american idol controversy' hysteria is so inane.
Now, after having said that, 'Idol' is one of my very favorite shows. And I always think that the auditions move way too fast (though they do devote like three or four weeks to them). Sometimes I have a stupid wish that they would just focus on that, but I will have to buy an 'Idol' compilation on DVD of worst performances, since they always give me a good laugh.

I am not going to write much except say that I am heartbroken over the terrible bus crash and the four children who died. It's just a terrible tragedy, and I want to send my condolences to all the victims and families... When I think back over the past six months or so, a lot of stuff has happened... the awful I-35 bridge collapsing, the terrible floods in southeastern Minnesota, and now this.

American Idol... I just can't get enough of the auditions which ended last night! My word, I literally was just laughing so hard at those imbeciles who thought that they were just "great" singers... I really wish there were more auditions left.... You know, I really wonder how some of the people are able to go on national television and embarrass themselves! If I were to do something like that, on national television, I would have to go into hiding but these goofs just do their own thing and it is hilarious.... There were a couple of touching moments in the auditions; I forget what town this was on but there was this woman whose mother was having health problems and she wanted to audition so badly. She really couldn't sing and obviously didn't advance, but I just felt so badly for her when she started to cry; it was nice to see the judges giving her a hug.
I have been able to watch a lot of the bad auditions on YouTube and there is this one guy who is 39 years old and bald and on top of that is a horrendous singer and it is just hilarious.

I just still am shocked (and happy) that the Giants were able to do what they did last night..... what an awesome performance from NY! It's just unbelievable; I kept waiting for the Pats to rally in the fourth quarter but they never did (thankfully).... I can't believe that this is the same team that lost 41-17 to the Vikings way back when! Why can't every Super Bowl be this exciting???

I am getting tired of the mediocrity when it comes to Minnesota's pro sports teams. I guess we can exclude the Minnesota Wild from this category; but then again, I've never followed hockey in my life so I skip over that sport automatically. That's just me. Moving on.... the Twins this year were mediocre and never really made a real drive to try to get to the postseason again! The Vikings this season have been a real joke - I'm sorry for saying this but I think we really need to consider (or the Vikings organization to be more specific) needs to can Brad Childress as the head coach. It's almost been two seasons with him in charge and I have yet to see any real positive results to come from this. I see only mediocrity and no playoffs. And also - I don't think T-Jack (or whatever his name is, I know the last name is Jackson... lol... sorry!) is the answer either, NOT BY A LONG SHOT.... having him as quarterback is painful to watch!! But then again, there's not a decent quarterback on the team at all.
And now we come to the Timberwolves.... I was shocked to hear about the KG trade, and am almost disgusted... I can almost see the season result now - total mediocrity, losing season, no playoffs.... total BLEEP. Getting rid of Garnett is a major, major mistake!!
Well that's about it for this post - nothing really positive to say of any MN sports team.... outside of hockey that is. Hopefully the Wild will do something great this season!

I have caught a few episodes of that new show following Fox News at 10:00, 'TMZ on TV' and quite honestly, I really don't like it. At all. Basically, all the show does every night is report on where stars go, what they do, what they're wearing, etc. etc. and it basically is a show of little substance.... Oh, and they also feature a lot of celebrity bashing (in particular, Britney Spears... not surprised about that one....). In my opinion, this show is just total sleaze.... I think shows like 'Entertainment Tonight' and 'Extra' are so much "better", if you will, than this TMZ mess.....
I just don't think I'll be watching another episode of this mess. IMO.

Today on the (long) commute home on the bus from work, I had to endure one cell phone conversation after another, including one woman's blabbing on and on and on and on and on and on about her kid's problems in school and why she should stop dating so and so because if they keep getting serious they will have to move in together and then she would just hate it because.... blah.... blah..... blah.... I'm not kidding, it was that bad almost word for word. I mean, how rude and moronic is that? Why would you want the entire bus listening in to a personal conversation?? I know I wouldn't! If you choose to talk on your phone on the bus, you may as well post a transcript on the conversation on the Internet on MySpace!
My solution which will never happen: ban cell phones on the bus altogether! No one wants to hear about what you are supposed to pick up at the store, what medical condition you or someone has, where your dog went to the bathroom, etc. etc..... At the very least, whisper!!
I don't think I'm alone on this. I'm crabby now, I think I'll go watch a video of Robyne and Jeff dancing at the fair to cheer me up. ;)

I just wanted to post that my thoughts and prayers are with all the victims and survivors (and families) who were affected by that horrific bridge collapse yesterday. I was numb with shock when I got home last night to see it on the news. I thought it was just something minor like a traffic chase or something but my jaw dropped when I found out about the bridge. Thanks to the brave rescuers and all the volunteers who have such a tremendously hard job.

So Paris Hilton has to go to jail for 45 days! Finally, a celebrity has to face the consequences of his/her actions! How refreshing... As usual, Paris and her mother Kathy (whose reality show, I Wanna Be a Hilton failed miserably I might add...) ending up whining and moaning about the punishment and acting as if they were above the law!
Honestly, I quite expected Baby Paris to get yet another lame punishment such as paying a fine or whatever... because as we've seen time after time in the past, celebrities for the most part don't have to face the consequences of what they did (does the name O.J. Simpson ring a bell??) But this is quite refreshing....
According to an article on Yahoo's TV section (http://tv.yahoo.com/news/article/urn:newsml:tv.reut
ers.com:20070506:hilton_dc__ER:1;_ylt=AtAC2F6ZJ_lBFSzbo
jidPXaAo9EF), the drama queen is already at it with her whining! Get a load of this -
"I told the truth," Hilton told photographers waiting outside her Los Angeles home on Saturday night."I feel that I was treated unfairly and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted. I don't deserve this."
The only thing I have to say to that is 'Grow up, Paris!' First of all, you were treated fairly. If Martha Stewart can survive prison (with a longer term than yours I might add....), you can survive!
