The Trailers for Kung Fu Panda 2

As this is Memorial Day weekend and the movie industry is trying to get more bang for it's buck there are two releases this weekend, this is my first movie of the weekend(and since Lank has a habit of flaking I will probably do the review for KFP2 tonight and walk to The Hangover 2 tomorrow) I missed most of the first trailer but meh, it wasn't really a movie I want to see anyway. Looks like because this was an animated movie they decided to do all the "kiddie/family" trailers on it oh well, you go see an animated movie you take that risk, well away we go to the trailers from Kung Fu Panda 2:the search for more Kung Fu AWESOMENESS

Judy Moody and the not Bummer Summer

A movie along the lines of Superfudge(and something else that slips my eclectic memory, I swear when this wave crescendos in I'm gonna be pissed) young precocious kid, annoying sibling, wacky hijinx either during the school year or during the summer. It seems Judy's parents are going on some trip out of town and Judy has this "summer of thrills" things planned with the other girls in her school. Problem is she's been stuck with Stink(her little brother, I don't know what it is with giving younger siblings messed up nick names, stops talking before I incriminate myself) and has very few "Thrill coins" stocked up so she is waaay behind. Enter Aunt Opal, untamed curls, somewhat distant ding batty look to her eyes and the fun begins. Yes when I was younger movies like this would have appealed to me my sense of wanting to escape from the apartment and go out and explore the world, but now I'm good this is too kiddie even for a walk down memory lane.

By Jove I think he's got it

Sooo its seems the last update allowed for my "Official Blogger App" saves to be stored both locally AND on the phone, the glitch it seems is once again accessing them from the phone. Its an automatic force close, which is annoying especially since I can't then use the web on my phone to update any blogs, this phone sees the text box as one solid entity so I either type from the beginning or else I publish whatever is already there.

Not cool, now if they ever get it fixed it will be awesome to start on my pc, save the draft, come back to my phone, make further entries or adjustments and then go back to my computer for linkage(though there is a new link button on the app now) and or pictures.  I haven't tried a reinstall yet, but seeing now that older entries were saved to the web I am less tentative so why no give it a try now. For those wondering I have the Motorola Backflip with version 2.1 firmware. I do lament some of the issues of this phone at times, but some of these apps are growing on me.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend, my cousins wife's birthday is today but as I'm still way out here I don't know if I'll make it. I will give it the old college try though, I've been a shut in for most of this span in Memphis after being the type to hop up and go play cards with family and friends. I have a valid excuse this time as I'm definitely working, but previous times it was just a matter of not feeling social. Lank has been informed of me bouncing to the movies most likely without him tomorrow(he has already leaked his "man I was coming but" excuse list), so save the two entries on  Kung Fu Panda 2 I'm all ready to go see The Hangover 2.

Yes I hate not having the Trailer blog out there but this time it couldn't be helped, I think, there was some decent content creation last night. I just know I like getting the trailer post out the night of, so I'm a little disappointed in myself. Things I wouldn't mind the blogger app supplying the "read more" button, or else Html editing so I can do it myself, I believe the wordpress app has it(and if not I will come back and edit the line accordingly) so it can be done.  Okay almost at Middleton, Tn everybody have a safe Memorial Day Weekend, I'll post again soon

What in the hell?

After working pretty well for who knows how many weeks now the "official Blogger app" is now acting like a buggy mess. I don't know if its the "update" I just did but where before it was working fine now everytime I go to access a list of previously written blogs(that I may have as a draft) it Force closes. Which is annoying to me because I have a blog I'm trying to finish oy vey, oh well let's see if this save works and if not I'll try a re install(which of course will flush the blog I was trying to access anyway but hey what can I do wait for a new update?)

Mack's Birthday

Loud music, smokey rooms, and plastic cups filled with some concoction by the mad scientist(in this case me, but I've known plenty of other Mixologists in my day) this is what parties always were when I was in my late teens and early 20's. I can still feel those carpeted speakers, wobbly crates, and suffocating dance floors. Elbow room always at a premium, ladies either pretty by nature or by the sixth drink, fellas throwing money at the bar like confetti, and my dog Breeze  on the 1's and 2's controlling the flow.

Last night was cuzzo's 27th birthday party, whether child or adult hosting ones birthday bash during the week tends to be a logistical nightmare. I will say that social networking did its part though, while all but his brother and sister in law were fashionably late(bows head in shame, yes including the bartender) we were there and it was a nice party. The DJ in this case was a dvd player with a few of the speakers placed strategically to send sounds throughout the house. Now the party goers bristled slighty at the music he chose to begin the party: Johnny Taylor, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Parliament and quite a few other old school classics played as the first bottles were opened the sound of rolled over bubble wrap in the air.

Item 1 of the weekend agenda is completed

This will be a busy weekend, Kung Fu Panda 2 and The Hangover 2 just hit theaters, my cousins birthday party is tonight, and its Memorial Day weekend which means I may char and smoke some flesh. Its a daunting line up to say the least, I just got done watching Panda and I'm writing this entry walking so thing one is in a box and thing two is in the reticle.

My cousins birthday party, now to some this may seem silly, but as I usually Bartend his parties its a little more involved than just that of a normal party goer. Now the usual toast of the party is a Tequila sunrise, made with pineapple not orange juice. A few Amaretto Sours may touch some lips and maybe a Buttery Nipple or two. I may shake up a martini or two who knows I'll write a blog from the party and let y'all know how it went.

Decisions, decisions

I guess it was bound to happen, two movies that I want to see coming out the exact same week. Now we know I hit the movies I do a review and keep it moving, thing is to watch 2 movies in a premier week I would have to amend my 2 days after schedule, I might have to actually do them the night of. Which is an interesting precedent, 2 reviews including trailer recaps, on two nights. Hmm could I pull it off, actually the way this is setting up I could possibly do my 2 days between.

Today is thursday both Kung Fu Panda 2 and The Hangover 2 came out today, IF scheduling permits and I get home before say 6:30 pm I could walk to the theater, catch one and have til Saturday night to complete my review. Then on Sunday I could go check the other one out and have til Tuesday of next week to complete that review. I won't lie this is a good dilemma to have, I know next  week its all about X-men first class and I'm mostly prepared for that but this week is a happy shock. I won't lie I was too busy to hit theaters when part one of these movies came out and Ero Kitsune had to damn near tie me down to get me to watch the first Hangover.

Another storm has passed

 Now that it's over I can laugh, it was kind of comical riding in the car listening to the local weather persons having to constantly revise their statements and since for at least myself in my neighborhood there appears to be no major damage, lights are on, internet and cable too, it may have been wet but it was mostly just loud not too big an inconvenience. Not what this does for the river draining they have been trying to do is anybodies guess. I have some during the day pics too so you could see how it looked as the weather was first pulling in to town, lots of high winds plenty of on and off rain showers, the ground has been wet for most of the day, luckily not enough to really add to the misery or at least not the misery we had out here. nothing special about this one just popping in to say yes I'm still here, and I can charge my phones and eat whatever I want come morning(unless a freak overnight storm comes through to cause another ruckus)
