Movie Review: "Transformers 3" and Invite to "Horrible Bosses"

Kind of thought I would kill two birds with one stone here and write a review of Last weeks movie Transformers 3, and extend and invite to This weeks movie Horrible Bosses

Movie review Transformers 3:
My review is as follows: Do NOT see this movie, it is terrible. I hate myself more today than I did the day before because I saw it. You have been warned. If you have already been to this movie, I am thinking of starting a support group for recovery.

Movie Invite Horrible Bosses:
Movie Starts at 7:10 PM I am planning on going to Joe's Pub in Johnston before (after work getting there a little before 5) for beers and pizza.
Who: You
What: Horrible Bosses
When: Thursday July 21 - 7:10 PM
Where: Carmike Cobblestone 9
8501 Hickman Road, Des Moines IA 50322
Why: Because. Mike will be there, that is cool. And this movie will be way better than Transformers.



This is me fancying it up, with maps and labels! Got to love technology!



Video of the day, my back up chick Ke$ha and Blow: Just like Yesterday's vid, stick with it, it gets pretty good!

Things I like

I like signs that can only use pictures to get their point across, I like them even better when they don't make any sense to me. This one is from the Hy-Vee gas station on Fleur on the "SOUTH SIDE" (heck it could be at all of them)!

Now I could buy that a person in a gas powered wheelchair may, and I repeat MAY need help filling up their chair. I would think that if they have the ability to create a gas powered wheelchair, they would have the ability to fill it up on their own. I guess that is neither here nor there with my real issue with the assistance button.

My real problem with the gas station is their assertion that a baby could have a gas powered stroller! That is just dumb. First, the baby wouldn't even be able to get credit to have a gas card to pay with, let alone have a concept of money and being able to get into the wallet for the right bills. Second, who would drive? The baby? That is just stupid. Lastly, I am sure the baby would need some kind of license to drive a gas powered stroller, and that isn't happening until at least 16, 14 if the baby's parent wanted to ride along I guess.

Speaking of stupid, Rebecca Black. Now I know she never asked for any of the fame she got, but today's video is simply fantastic, stick it out through the credits, you will laugh:

OK 11 months off may be enough....

OK it is July in Iowa and it is HOT. Real Hot, they say it feels like a hundred and something out there, thank goodness we have some pools at out disposal here in Central Iowa. One we get to float in the other we are doing construction at ;-) Spent Saturday at Uncle Joe's working on the pool house, at his place there won't be any excuse as to why you are peeing in his pool with a bathroom that is going to be so close now. Zac and Joe got the Roof up and papered, while Ted and DeDe and I started getting the reclaimed barn boards up on the front side. It should look quite nice once it is all done.At T&D's on Sunday it was an afternoon float that made the 106 degree temperature much more manageable. In fact, in the water it was quite a nice day! While this pic is from Saturday it gets the point across, we have 2 pools to pick from bitches!

Song of the day: System of a Down "Lonely Day"

You are all invited

Wednesday August 11, 2010 at 7:45 we are going to Winnebago Man
VARSITY THEATRE
25th & University
Des Moines
Across from Drake University

Winnebago Man is a 2010 American documentary feature film directed by Ben Steinbauer that follows the Internet phenomenon created by a series of twenty-year-old outtakes from a Winnebago sales video featuring profane outbursts from the salesperson, Jack Rebney. Originally intended as an inside joke, the video spread across the globe first on VHS tape then via YouTube and other online video sites, earning the salesman the title of "The Angriest Man in the World". The documentary explores the story of the clip’s origin and how, two decades later, it affects the man who never even knew it existed.

This movie is Not Rated, however contains FOUL language! THIS INCLUDES THE TRAILER BELOW! Ye HATH BEEN WARNED so turn it down if at work!

This is a story that has been told before and will be told again: Things start anew tomorrow….

Lots of things have happened since my last posting…..

• More lay off at work
• Our 11th anniversary
• Got the Ford Falcon Up and running
• The Falcon got a little smashed in the rear
• Tore my calf (strained)
• Went to Mexico for a few weeks
• Got a pretty good tan
• Won a Badminton tournament
• Lost a 3-man best ball golfing tournament
• Saw a few Movies
• Found a great new place to eat
• Met some new friends
  

So I’ll let you all pick, which one do you want to hear more about first?

Now I know this is the Clean Version, but it make embedding simpler for me. At least there are a few Artists still making cool things out there

Things I like

Actually this one is things I really don't like. I don't like when things are redundant or say the same thing twice. The point really doesn't need to be made twice it could have just been made once. So my question is, do you need a PIN Number to make this work? Also, how bad of a person are you if your first thought when seeing this sign isn't about getting money from a machine? I am just saying

Also included in my list of hate along with PIN Number and ATM Machine is getting a french dip with Au Jus. What are those other classics I am missing?

The Great Tomato Incident (2010)

Sorry for the break, I have been....busy. I know that isn't an excuse, but I just haven't been into it. In the Middle of April we had a meeting at work, about how things aren't easy but they were going OK (maybe that isn't what was said at all but that is the way I remember it). A few days later at the end of April they shut down our Red Oak operation and laid off/forced retired 200 here at Des Moines. I really didn't feel like doing much of anything blog wise after that. I have been keeping up at run fat cam run if you are interested in following along there feel free. Now that I am done feeling sorry for myself onto the tomatoes....

So Jamie Lou and I have Kerry, Tom, James and Peter to blame for the 2009 Great Tomato Incident. They gave Jamie Lou upside-down tomato hangers for her birthday. and long story short the 2 tomatoes we got after everything was all said and down ran us about $50.00 each. A lot of cash for 2 bad tomatoes. This year we decided to grow the operation you see. While again putting up 2 upside-down tomatoes (which we will tend to much more closely this year) Jamie Lou wanted and herb garden. So never one to ease into anything this weekend we made a 12 foot x 12 foot herb garden for her.

The tomato crucifix from last year still stands and seems strong still (I must still say, Thad stay away from it. No fires.). Since grass doesn't really seem to grow under teh tomatoes it seems the logical place for the herb garden.

First we framed it in with green treat 2x6's. This allowed us to level the ground there at least a little. Once we got the wood in the ground and secured we took all the sod off that did exist and tried to put it else where in the yard. I am sure it won't make it, but at least we tried. Once the sod was off we tilled the soil about 4 inches down. Once tilled we tried to level it out a little better than it was.

Next step was to amend in some good top soil. 500 pounds of good black dirt was dumped in and again moved around. But not to be out done, we then brought in another 500 pounds of fertilized planting soil to be worked into the mix too. If you look below you can really see the difference in the two (and compared to above, the 3) soil types.

Below is the final results of plants being in the ground. There are peppers, sage, basil, lavender, thyme, marigolds and more I think. I think left will be a few more "hot" peppers, maybe 1 Thai pepper and 1 habanero. The stones were added to give a little bit of a place to walk and the soaker hose hopefully will aid in keeping it all wet enough.

Out next debate is on how to top dress it. Jamie Lou wants newspaper and mulch. I would maybe say just mulch, but am really just fine with the way it is. We shall see... Getting done around 6PM last night we were at the stopping point (physically more than anything) and called it good. So here is to hoping 2010 tomatoes are MUCH better than the 2009.
