I caught you a delicious bass.

• That doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of this mishmash. It's just a fun movie and it came to mind when I was casting about for what to say up there. That's how it goes sometimes.
• The heat finally broke for about four days, during which it rained about 80% of the time (and there was much rejoicing), but then the rain broke for more heat, and that's a serious pain because four days was just long enough for me to not be used to the daily 100-degree temperatures anymore, so now I'm all whiny and stuff about it again.
• Speaking of weather, we're going camping next weekend, so Mother Nature better have things all sorted by then or there's gonna be hell to pay. Yeah, you heard me, Mother Nature. Get your shit straight, you insane sadistic freaky crazy woman. *menacing glower*
• heh.
• Apostrophes are used: 1) before an "s" to indicate possession in singular nouns, such as "the dog's toy" or "his father's golf clubs." Pronouns such as ours, theirs, hers, etc. do not require apostrophes, and the word "it" is a pronoun, and so the *possessive* form of "it" is "its", as in "put it in its place." This is totally important, people. 2) before an "s" to indicate possession in plural nouns that do not end in "s," like "the men's room" and "the children's tears." 3) after the "s" to indicate possession in plural nouns ending in "s," as in "the companies' ad campaigns" or "the Cubs' slim chances." 4) to indicate a missing letter in contractions or colloquialisms, such as "can't" for "can not" or "it's" for "it has/it is" or "y'all better be learnin' these rules real good." APOSTROPHES ARE NOT USED TO PLURALIZE WORDS! That's goddamn right.
• Washington and Philly split a double-header, and San Diego, the Mets, the Braves, the Astros, and the Boobirds all lost. Excellent. However, we must pause to curse those stupid Brewers and Fish. But there's forty or so games left, a full quarter of the season, so anything can still happen, right? Keep hope alive.
• Outlaw Golf 2: Kinda goofy, kinda sexy in a cartoony way that probably impresses 13-year olds somewhat more than it does me, not a bad golf game (actually a surprisingly respectable one), rather amusing, and less than 10 dollars used so not a bad buy as far as a time-killer goes. But they gotta do something about some of these load times. Wow. If I had wanted to take a nap, I wouldn't have turned on the PS2.
• Twice at the bank this week. Tonight was one of those Regency parties with all the old folks and the kid playing piano, so I don't have a lunch menu yet, oh Tank Girl (and I apologize again for not taking your call this afternoon, frizzum frazzum "unknown" caller ID). I'll snatch one during lunch tomorrow and then blog ya the lowdown on what flavor of hash we're slinging these days. ^_^

Now with Bonus Movie Review!

It's a rubber monster on a stick! Wait, it's a marionette! Wait, it's both! Eating a paper cutout of a farmer! In Copenhagen! With Danish Chamber of Commerce stock footage that has nothing to do with anything! Pricelessly awesomely spectacularific. Serious rating - half of a popcorn box out of five. Rating if you're watching it with a good friend (or friends) and you appreciate crazy-bad movies and it's late and you left sober somewhere behind you at some point in the evening - approximately seven hundred popcorn boxes out of five. Truly one of the rarest of gems.
