So here I am, getting ready to fix breakfast, and I grab the carafe for my coffee maker out of the dish rack. And as I proceed to put the lid on, I notice a big crack down the front of the carafe.

Well, it looks like I will have to stop at 7-11 for coffee.

As I go to crack open the eggs into the frying pan, the yolk of the first egg breaks. I like my eggs either sunny side up or over light, not over hard. The only time I can eat an over hard egg is on a breakfast sandwich. And I am not making breakfast sandwiches.

I am having problems financially, I have a crazy woman calling me at all hours wondering why I have not called, and now I am having a problem cooking breakfast.

And I can't even call Mr. Wizard to get me out of here.



I hope this is not the start of a day that is downhill from here.

Try to have a good Friday, everyone, and I'll write soon.

Let's see how my Care-O-Meter is working today.

Nope. Still don't give a fuck!

Q: What is black and blue and can be found lying on the floor of the women's bathroom?

A: A brunette who has told one too many "dumb blond" jokes.

Have a great day, and I hope the candidates of your choice won yesterday.

As you well know by now, tomorrow is Election Day across the United States. And if you are like me, you are probably tired of all the campaign advertisements. I had the television turned off tonight, only to watch a few minutes of the local news and The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer. For the last few nights, all the ads on the local news have been political ads.

What gets me is how the television station plays a commercial for someone running for office, then the next commercial is for the opponent badmouthing the person from the previous commercial.

It has gotten to the point where I am starting to miss some of the automobile dealerships plugging their auto sales. I especially miss the blonde from Rolling Hills Ford. Her and her two friends.

Anyway, I decided to look over my sample ballot and take a look as to who I want to vote for. I can give you a hint. It's not Republican. I like to be informed about any amendments, both pro and con, as well as what the candidate stands for.

As I am going through the sample ballot, I am looking at names of judges I am not familiar with. There are people running for positions in government I know nothing about, and just what does the Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor do? Do they show up at your front door wanting to do soil and water samples in your yard?

I have my mind made up of who I am voting for, but I may have to do a little research on the soil and water positions, as well as the other races for public office. State law says that you can leave part of a ballot blank if you do not have a candidate of choice, but I feel that I should complete the entire ballot.

There should be a space on the ballot for write-in candidates. I wish I knew the blonde's name from Rolling Hills Ford. I would write her name in and vote for her and her two friends.

I wonder if she has nicknames for her two friends?

Happy Halloween, Folks!

I received a question regarding my favorites list, and the person was wondering what criteria I used for picking out favorites. Basically, these are films that I can watch again and again and not get tired of them. A few of the films on my list I have in my DVD collection.

A few that didn't make the list that I also enjoyed are as follows:

Halloween: This John Carpenter classic almost makes my list.

The Others: It has Nicole Kidman. Enough said. Seriously, this is a really great story. And no gore.

Shaun of the Dead: A parody of George Romero's "Living Dead" series. Has a few scenes of gore, but you'll be laughing your ass off.

Evil Dead 2: This sequel to Evil Dead is just as gory, but has more humor in it than the first one.

The Thing: Both the original with James Arnez and the John Carpenter remake with Kurt Russell. Be warned, Carpenter's remake is very graphic.

The Omen: I liked the original with Gregory Peck, but I passed on the remake that was released earlier this year. Both are on DVD.

An American Werewolf In London and The Howling. Two movies about werewolves that are quite scary, but also provides a few laughs.

A Nightmare On Elm Street. I always thought that this was one of the more original horror films made, where the villian attacks his victims while they are dreaming.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Robert DeNiro plays the monster in this one. This is my favorite Frankenstein next to the original version starring Boris Karloff.

Bram Stoker's Dracula: This Francis Ford Coppola version has Gary Oldman as Dracula and Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing. Worth checking out.

Carrie: Piper Laurie gave me the creeps in this Brian DePalma movie.

Dressed To Kill: Another Brian DePalma movie starring Michael Caine. This one is about a cross dressing serial killer.

Young Frankenstein: Has to be one of the funniest Frankenstein movies ever made. Leave it to Mel Brooks to have Dr. Frankenstein dancing on stage with top hat and cane along with his creation. Mel Brooks was able to use the actual set of the 1931 classic Frankenstein for filming this movie.

Well, I have to go. Take care, and have a great Halloween.
