The TICKET morning guys ranked their top five scary movies. I can’t say that I really watched any scary movies. I don’t consider Seven or Silence of the Lambs as scary or horror, but more suspense. I think the only movie that really scared and stuck with me for a while was George C. Scott’s The Changeling and I only watched that because it’s tradition for the restored Paramount Theater in Abilene to show it around Halloween and chicks are there. I’m said to say it’s probably no longer a tradition as I don’t see it listed on the theater’s calendar.
One movie that disturbed me watching it and continues to even if I think about it is Of Mice and Men.
The Exorcist was more fascinating than scary to me, and the Hitchcock films are too artsy for me to be scared.
When I was a kid or teen there was a commercial for a scary movie that had children singing, I’m now terrified of all singing children.
There was also another commercial of a woman laying on her side on bed trying to sleep and the audience hears her thoughts, she ten rolls over and screams as she sees a man watching her from the other side. That night I rearranged my room so my bed was against the wall and only slept with my back against the wall so I could have a full view of my room.
A device locks cyclists’ helmets and keeps their seat dry.
I remember the spelling difference of “yea” and “yeah” by saying “yea ends in a A”.
I’ve never taken an aspirin, but certainly have had my fair share of Advil an Tylenol. My doc called with another blood test result looked good except that my CRP levels were a little high and recommended taking a daily aspirin.
We bout our 4Runner seven years ago with 20,000 miles on it and it still hasn’t reached over 1oo,000.
WifeGeeding got her glass-eye polished yesterday, something that is suppose to happen at least once a year. DaughterGeeding knows about the prosthetic, but hasn’t seen it removed.
A good college friend who I haven’t seen since we actually in college will be flying in to attend his grandfather’s funeral with his wife and kids. He’s making time to hang out with me this Saturday and I’m thankful.
No one is more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than Malala Yousafzai.
The Longhorns have lost the last two games to Oklahoma by a combined score of 118-38. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the actual score on Saturday.
I remember when people went bonkers of Notre Dame teaming up with NBC, and they haven’t really lived up to the hype with maybe the exception of last year. It seems like history is repeating itself with UT and ESPN/Longhorn Network.
We are at the halfway point of the college football season and Baylor hasn’t played one away game, but they will play their first this week at a very weak Kansas State team in their first conference game. Looking at their schedule, I’m going to have to wait until November until they make me a believer.
Mack Brown’s last game, it appears, will be against Baylor.
I love how TCU is willing to schedule non-conference teams like LSU to try to prove themselves. Heck, I remember before they were part of the Big XII and scheduled to play Oklahoma and beat them at their place.
Victory Park is about to get a $100 million makeover? I remember when that development was finished and the WSJ was touting the business genius of Ross Perot Jr, and now it’s considered a failure. I will say the economy is partly to blame, but it’s not the brunt of the blame. The ACC doesn’t even seem that old, but it was completed back in July 2001.
USA Today – Enraged by low wages, fuel prices, regulations, the government shutdown, the debt ceiling, President Obama and “the corruption that is destroying America,” the “Truckers Ride for the Constitution” aims to tie up three lanes of Interstate 495 circling the nation’s capital, with big rigs traveling 55 mph.
