.@YevetteN is Sick of the Bumout News

So is everyone but I see her and she noticed I was watching "Sleepless in Seattle" but that elicited about as much enthusiasm as if I had been watching a video of insect mating behavior.

As in the previous article, the movie is thick like a treacle and maybe that conjured the vision of Lyle's Golden Syrup.  If you think honey is good, you need to find some Lyle's Golden Syrup.  Put some of that on toast and your teeth will never forgive you but your tastebuds will smile happily.

Ed:  even better than Greek honey?

It might be true.


The biggest reason for watching "Sleepless in Seattle" is for the last few scenes when Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan do them perfectly and are completely convincing.

There's another bit of backstage trivia since the woman who did her weepy telling of "An Affair to Remember" is / was Tom Hanks' RL wife, Rita Wilson.  That bit also made the movie along with the male turnaround in talking in their own weepy way about the emotion of "The Dirty Dozen."

Rosie O'Donnell played the perfect straight woman to Meg Ryan's melodrama.  That was so perfectly underplayed.

Ed:  don't you think we have all seen it?

Of course you have but these are just seeds and maybe you watch it again.


That had to be followed with a sub movie and that meant "The Hunt for Red October" but (sob) I get so emotional when the Executive Officer (choke) gets shot when he only (weep weep) wanted to see Montana.

Ed:  that movie was jingoistic crap made for the sole purpose of the glorification of military hardware and to engender the need for more of it with the contrivance of Hollywood drama.

Yah, it was that but it's still kind of cool to watch and the tactics are novel.


Yevette is fed-up to the gills with one Catastrophe after the other in the news and she has the additional burden of my nagging.  It's not about wanting anything but caution, caution, be careful out there.  I do apologize to her, tho (larfs).

It's about the First Biker Law:  don't let the fuckers hit you.


Right now there's more melancholy on the net than if old Lassie died so there's a whole lot of Internet avoidance happening.

Ed:  Lassie died years ago!

The news takes a while to get around, I guess.


Now there's a countdown people actually like with five days until Christmas.  Hopefully those advent calendars are moving along nicely and you have been keeping the tree moist, I trust.

Note: you do have a fire extinguisher readily available, correct?

Ed:  is this the nagging part?

Sorry.


There's no tree here and they're not such a good idea when there's a little bird-killer on the loose in here anyway.

The vibe is growing since Yevette said "The Secret Garden" is incredibly excellent so I found it and she's watching it now.  That was most pleasing to see since it fills the screen and delivers what she had hoped.  When last seen, she was starting to float away on it and that's got nothing to do with the ganja since she doesn't like to smoke it.

As for me, I'm going back to the subs.
