Mondays suck
ABC has a tradition around this time of year. Either the Sunday before Easter or Easter Sunday (I don't remember exactly which day), ABC would show The Ten Commandments starring Charlton Heston. Somehow, I would always get drawn into the movie even though I had seen it before and the commercials dragged the movie out for several hours.
Well, tonight I was flipping through the channels since looking for something to veg out to the rest of the night. As is the case on Monday nights, there was nothing good on TV. When you think about settling for a stupid game show like Deal or No Deal, you know it's a slow night.
I noticed that The Ten Commandments was going to be on at 9PM. I thought this was strange given when ABC usually shows this movie. I was angered to see that ABC had remade the movie as a two part made-for-TV movie starring a bunch of no-name, no-talent ass-clowns. How can you choose to air this crap over a classic movie starring a great actor? I don't care that the movie is several decades old and outdated when it comes to special effects. It's still ten times better than the POS movie that ABC has decided to replace it with tonight. Boo urns. Boo. Urns.

hahahahaha! I WAS JUST WATCHING THAT SHITTY MOVIE. and thinking to myself, "man... if this movie had Charlton Heston playing Moses, I'd so stay out here and watch it."
instead, I washed my dishes and am reading about Participant Perception Indices. So much for procrastinating this evening, eh?
booo indeed.
it's ok, roop. the best part is when the angel of death comes and kills people. otherwise you just envision C.H. saying "from my cold dead hands" in a Moses outfit the whole time.
[sigh] I love crazy conservative people. [/sigh]
dear gary,
I am working on finals.
updates must be more frequent, so as to distract me and help me get less work done.
thank you for your prompt cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Mousie
(sidenote - this is what several of the guys over at my blog have started calling me in IM conversations. I guess they think it's "cute". I don't get it.)
roopdogg, me neither. but two of these men will be buying me drinks come September, when Michigan pummels Minnesota. So i'm not going to complain.
