I saw the new Planet of the Apes movie on Saturday night...

....and I think I reacted all wrong.

I think I'm not supposed to confuse the war-paint streaked, gun-carrying, horse-riding apes in the movie to the sweet chimps and monkeys I see at the zoo and in nature documentaries.

I think I'm not supposed to look into the movie apes' eyes and see real emotions and feel empathy.

I think that I'm not supposed to get moody and upset when they get gunned down by evil humans.

I think I'm not supposed to cover my face with my hands and whimper when there are large explosions.

This is what happened when I explained the aforementioned reaction to a friend:

Some $5-bargains-at-the-grocery-store you just can't resist...

"Can dogs rap? Of course they can. We've all seen them throwing it down, tossing it up, hounding, pointing, beagling, and boxing in our back streets and front parks. Here's the story, told in his own words, of one rising dog star."  (inside-front flap)

Maybe my Christmas present to you will be to rap this book to you. Hahaha!

Facebook Friday: Llama.

I don't care what anyone says. If Facebook is the means to spread joy like this around, then so be it. It is God's social network.

So Kristy (at work) and I decided we need to make this ourselves since suits such as these are ridiculously expensive.

I'm thinking two sets of tan sweats and a furry blanket. And a spare llama head. Anyone got one lying around?

What other supplies would I need here? 

Other than moon boots?

Also, this endeavor needs some great two-person choreography and theme music. Suggestions?

Spring Break: Part II -- "If I Were Jim Craig"

My Pill and Me:

I am not as fat as this makes me look. 

I'm wearing a baggy sweater under that baggy shirt. 

Just sayin'.

Isn't that sweet? She is proud of me for riding a "hor" for the first time!

HAHAHA!

And one especially for you, Groupies.

Just especially for you.

Stay tuned for

Spring Break: Part III
