Ok! Now earlier this week I saw a bizarre title for a movie that will be coming soon. Cowboys and Aliens! What...the...hell! I have to say that the title surely attracted me to watch the movie trailer. There are just some movie titles like "Werewolf Women of the SS" or "Amazon Women on the Moon" or "Billy the Kid Versus Dracula" or "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" or my personal favorite "Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Crawling, Zombified, Living Dead" (part 2and part 3...seriously? There is more than one with this ridiculous title?) or whatever cheesy titles come your way. So like I said, some movies just have a strange title that make you say out loud...WHAT!?!?!?
I present to you the trailer Cowboys and Aliens
This could be cool! I mean it has Daniel Craig(the newest James Bond guy), Olivia Wilde(uber hottie from House m.d.), and Harrison Ford(no description necessary). It looks interesting. So knowing me, I will probably go to see this flick!
And for those of you who think I am full of B.S. in those weird-ass titles listed above or are just like me saying "there are really movie titles like this?" With an exception to one, these are all real movies. Here you go:
Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Crawling, Zombified, Living Dead Part 2
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Amazon Women on the Moon
Billy the Kid vs Dracula
Werewolf Women of the SS(not a real movie by the way...it was on the Grindhouse movie with fake trailers.)

Three-day weekend
Lorin and I have a 3-day weekend together. That has not happened in quite a while. I don't have work and my classes are in the beginning of the week. Lorin has a furlough day today. So its just us all weekend. We started it off right. We haven't made breakfast(or in our case brunch) together in a while. So, I had a wild hair up my ass to do just that.
We are planning to go see the new Harry Potter flick today or tommorrow or Sunday. So that will be fun. My mom went to the midnight showing last night and said it was great. Ok! Well I thought it might be.
We did have plans to go to the shooting range today, but it is just so windy outside that that plan is a bust. I don't think we will be able to go any other time this weekend, because the forecast says there is a storm coming. There is supposed to be 14 inches of snowfall for this weekend. Thus the start of the winter here in Northern Nevada. So we might still go shooting if it doesn't snow, but the outlook is not so good!
As for other things planned for the weekend. Turkey day(Thanksgiving) shopping is on the list. A whole lot of relaxing and lounging around the house is on our agenda this weekend. We need some R&R time. I have already winterized my truck so thank goodness I don't have to worry bout that. I think I would go nuts if my 4 wheel drive and my winter windshield wipers didn't work!
Well that's about all from Gary and Lorin land!

Snowing!
It is snowing here in Northern Nevada. Lorin and I got up this morning and looked outside and just said "holy shit"! Well its not unusual for here to snow in the fall. Last year it snowed in October. It gives me a good feeling that I am gonna have me white Christmas again this year. I love it when it snows at Christmas time so I hope the snow is here to stay. However, the weather here is rather odd a lot of times. Because sometimes, like earlier this year, it will snow in May! May...really? Isn't usually shorts wearing, pull out your summer clothes, turn off the heater, in late spring? Not here! So I shouldn't be surprised by the snow. But I am!

Internet..down again!
So for the past two days our internet has been down. It will be fixed tommorrow, but it is just a pain in the neck to have to wait.
We have only had this internet service provider for a few weeks, so I do expect there to be some bugs to be worked out. I will say, when it is working it is soo much better than who we had before. The speed is good and I don't have to keep unplugging and plugging back in the modem. Such a relief! The company did a diagnostic from their office but it appears to be a problem that needs to be fixed at our house. OK...pain in the ass but still better than what we had!
The only reason I am able to blog is because in my "man cave" also known as...our garage, I am able to get a signal from one of our neighbors wireless connection. So I am temporarily stealing internet service. I discovered this connection from the many times our previous internet providers services would go down for days and sometimes weeks at a time, for no reason at all. It is sort of my back-up internet service. Its not a very strong signal and I do have to occasionally repair the connection, but eh...it'll do!

Hello and sorry
Hello to all those who read my little blog. I am sorry I haven't posted much. I have been pretty busy. Mostly with school stuff. Plus I am just kinda boring.
I think that my mom is going to be moving here to Nevada soonish. She currently lives in Louisiana where I am from. I think she has got that moving bug up her ass again. You see, my mom has always been a bit of a gypsy. When I was younger we were always moving somewhere new. I have lived all over the US. Not because of a job or anthing interesting other than the fact my mom is kinda crazy. She doesn't really like staying in one place for too long. You can see that from constant moving...
I HATE MOVING!
My idea is to move to one place...stay there...and just travel, always having a homebase to go back to. Not my mom! I was born and lived all over North Carolina. In my youth I have lived in different areas all over these states: Florida, Maryland, Texas, Virginia, Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Washington D.C.(I know its not really as state)! I have been to almost all of the 50 states! I claim Louisiana as where I am from, because thats where we lived the longest. Back in the day, right before I started High School, I made a demand that I would go to the same school for all four years. Well, I did get what I asked for. However, I should have said that we won't move in those four years. We did three times. All in the same area but three times, none the less! Well, my mom has been back in Louisiana for around 5 years I think(I can never keep up) and she has been telling me that she was looking at places in North Carolina (where my little brother currently resides) to move to again.
After a few of our chats recently my mom has changed her mind...she is making plans to move here to Nevada. I think its great. My mom is a little batty though! I love her to death but she always has been! Now here is the amusing part. I...am...not...my mom's...favorite! She loves me very much and we have great chats and get along wonderfully. My mom just dotes on my little brother. I have always wanted my mom's attention but never completely had it. My brother on the other hand, has always had it. I have had to live in the shadow of my little brother for as long as I can remember. I didn't mind all that much, because I myself adore my brother too! I just wanted the same attention he got. It was a mild jealousy, not at all destructive jealousy in any way, but I just wanted what he had!
Now I know this sounds like I am bitching that I never got enough attention when I was a kid. Trust me, it's not! I came to accept it long ago, that my brother was the favorite of both my parents. He absolutely hates being the favorite and would trade places with me in a heartbeat! My brother and I are total opposites as well. We get along but we are just different people. He is uptight, serious, introverted, little to no sense of humor, SUPER GENIUS, SUPER TALENTED, tall, stoic, very set in his ways kind of guy. I, on the other hand, am fun, funny, funniest, cheerful, chatty, average intellect, friendly, extroverted, short, open-minded kind of guy. I am also the better looking one! Not being conceited...just truthful. My mom well never admit that my bro is her favorite. She says "I don't play favorites...I love you both equally!" I know that! But a lot of parents do play favorites whether they realize it or not!
So back to my mom moving here. I think it would be great. I have not seen my mom now in over 8 years. I know that is a looooong time to go without seeing your mother. But I have my reasons.
One: The last time I saw my mom or brother was when my ex-wife and I got married over eight years ago. I haven't seen my dad in over 10 years(we don't get along very well anyways). Well I don't talk about my ex-wife very often but I will just say that when we were married I was kept on a tight leash. I wasn't allowed to have friends or money and I had to give it all to her. Not because I had proven to be bad with either but more that she was very insecure and possessive! I was not allowed to go visit my mom or brother or dad or anybody else. If I wanted to see them they could come to us 2500 + miles away. If they were to come they couldn't stay in our house(because our guest room was reserved for her family only), so they would have to rent a hotel room and would have designated visiting hours(since I was apparently a prisoner). Can you see some of the reasons why I did not stay with this woman?
Two: After my ex-wife and I went our separate ways I just never seemed to have enough money or time to go and visit anyone. And of course everybody else was broke, so they couldn't visit me either.
The idea of my mom living near me is exciting...and frightening at the same time. My mom loves Lorin to death, even though they have never met. They have chatted on the phone or internet and seem to like each other just fine. My mom and I get along...well...because we are very similar! My brother merely tolerates my dad and vice versa because they are very similar! Neither dad nor my bro really tolerate me or my mom because we are total opposites. Mom and I love my dad and little bro very much and get confused when they don't like us! You see...my mom and I are nuts! I am just a lighter version of my mom and my brother is a lighter version of my dad! That is the insanity of my family. I know its not as bad as others and I don't claim it to be. All in all, I would say that we are strangely normal!
So I guess we will see what happens here in the next few months.
The end!

Television 2...
Well as I stated in my previous post. My television picks are continued. Most of the shows on this post are great shows but the rewatch value is not so good. There are many that you just watch the one season and move on to the next. Don't get me wrong I like the shows very much but there is just something about some of them that rewatching would just get boring. Yes we do own all of these shows and all the seasons. Some of them would've been better just to rent but thats ok since we purchased the DVD's we just loan 'em out so others can enjoy them as Lorin and I have.
7) NCIS
Now I do especially love the characters of this show. My favorite is Gibbs. Old Marine guy...hmmm....I wonder why I like him??? The rest of the cast absolutely clicks so well together. Season 3 is still my favorite of all of the seasons. This is one of those that is so great but rewatch value not so much!
8) Weeds
Now this is a show that really surprised me. I wasn't sure I was going to like it. Its not my usual cup of tea. I really do enjoy it and it makes me laugh. Sadly the rewatch not so good.
9) Outerlimits(New and Old)
This is a show that I have always loved. The old series used to give me goosebumps and was just so interesting. The new series really surpassed old series. What I liked about it was that it was an anthem. So it didn't matter if you missed previous episodes because every episode was like a miniature scifi movie. Another BIG reason that I loved the new series was that at the beginning and the end of each episode there was a moral lesson to be thought about. I can watch this over and over again. It really doesn't lose its rewatch value. Sadly its very difficult to buy all of the seasons for (new series) this show.
10) House m.d.
House cracks me up. He is such a jerk to people but yet a strange genius. This is one that Lorin and I recently started to buy. We enjoy it but it is another of those that the rewatch would be a little dull.
11) Buffy The Vampire Slayer
I have no idea why I like this show. I absolutely hated Buffy herself. I think it was the witty humor and the supporting cast. I loved Xander, Willow, and Giles. I just wanted Buffy to just die off already. Unfortunately you can't really have a show about a character if the main character that the show is named after is DEAD!The funny thing is I have watched this show over and over. It was also the first show you could buy on DVD. So of course I bought all the seasons a long time ago. Joss Whedon...still a genius!
P.S. I also HATED that little brat...Dawn!
12) Angel
Yet again another show I have no idea WHY I liked it. Angel...is douche! The cast was great! Another of Joss Whedon. I like the picture I found of this show shown above. It really says a lot about the main character!
Ok I'm done being a pain in the neck, writing about shows I like and bitching about our crap television. I hope ya'll have a happy halloween. I won't! Little monsters running around begging for candy! What the hell!!!

Television...
So Lorin and I don't have cable...at all! We did this by choice...well somewhat! The cable company here is horrible. There really isn't much that we watch on TV, so we cut the cable out of our home about 2 years ago. I think we have been better for it. I mean there are times when one of us is at home alone and a little bored. TV would be a good time passer, but hey thats what we have internet and all kinds of video gaming systems.
The biggest problem we run into is that our television set just sucks ass! The picture is really dark, the volume is either too loud or too quiet so there is no happy medium, its rather smallish in comparison to our large living room so the TV set is dwarfed, and there is not a single universal remote that can be used for this hunk of crap(trust me we've tried). So last year we were going to purchase a bigger better television, but due to our Satan Kitty swallowing about 2 miles of sewing thread last year around Christmas time, that went out the door for our present to ourselves. Well this year we have decided no matter what we are getting a new one. We really can't take another year of this shit.
Well a favorite thing for Lorin and I to do is to watch TV shows. Since we don't have to pay for cable we spend our money purchasing shows we want to watch on DVD. It works out better that way. The money we would be wasting on cable each year we spend on TV shows we can watch together and at our leisure. Our movie bookcases look like a video rental store...I think we have a problem...not really. Our TV set sucks but we still do watch our favorite shows on it. Here are my personal top picks of shows (that we own) These have the best rewatch value to them and we end up watching them over and over. Some are still on the air and some are not but I still enjoy them:
1) Glee
This is a show I like for too many reasons to list. I like the humor and music personally. I think Lorin likes the music and the sad parts, that make you cry, the most. For whatever reason this show is awesome.
2) Supernatural
We are currently watching the 5th season right now. And like all the other shows we are blowing right through it. This show is about two brothers who hunt the paranormal. I think Lorin mostly likes it because she thinks Jensen Ackles(Dean, the older brother) is in her words "he is HOT". I don't look at him that way. It gets to me for several reasons. One is that the two brothers are a lot like me and my little brother. I very much relate to the older brother, Dean. He and I are very much alike he likes classic cars, classic rock, guns, women, and is just a funny guy but also a leader type of guy. Which is me. Funny enough the younger brother, Sam, is a lot like my little brother. He is quiet, reserved, super smart, and very serious. I also love things having to do with the paranormal/supernatural. Its always intrigued me.
3) Spaced
This is a show that Lorin and I took a chance on. We love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. This show hails from the UK. Its very amusing how much we like British televion than we do American. Don't get me wrong, we do love our American shows. There is just something about shows from across the big lake that we just adore. The only problem is its rather difficult to find British shows at like Best Buy or Borders or Walmart or any store around here. We usually have to order them at Amazon. That sucks!
4) Wonderfalls
This show is absolutely great. It was said that it was one of the best shows nobody ever watched. Mostly because it was cancelled after only four episodes(Fox TV network has a bad tendency of doing this). They did however get to finish their only season and it ended very well. Its one of those shows that you wish they would have gotten to show more of. We bought this one when I saw the pilot episode on YouTube. I absolutely rolled on the floor laughing. And at the same time smiled because of its intelligence. It is a must watch...again...and again!
5) Firefly
Why this show never made it I will never know (another Fox cancellation...stupid bastards). It was truly entertaining. Very rarely do I like the entire cast of a show. There were 9 credited cast members which is very rare for a show to have especially in its first (and only) season. This show didn't get to finish its season. So after a few years Joss Whedon (genious that he is) went off and filmed a motion picture to finish it up for all of us fans of the show. What a swell guy to do that for the fans. Definitely a great watch and rewatch show.
6) Battlestar Galactica(new series)
Oh my God! I was a fan of the old series (yes I am old), so I was very reluctant to watch this remake. Several of our friends were completely addicted to this show. So one day I was at Blockbuster and decided to rent a couple of discs from the first season. After I was done with those two discs I marched my ass right back up there to rent the rest of the season. Later that day when I was done with those I went back up to Blockbuster to start on the next season. Unfortunately they didn't have the second season at all in their inventory for unknown reasons. I was absolutely pissed. So I said screw it and went on ebay to purchase the entire box set. Yea I know...nutso but it is completely worth it. I found it and requested a next day air shipping. I just could not put this show down. I then made Lorin watch it while ranting and raving about it. She loved it. I then set off on a mission to make everybody I know watch it. I didn't care if they borrowed my box set or not! Its just that good!
Stay tuned for part two of my television shows!

Its one of those shows that you wish they would have gotten to show more of. We bought this one when I saw the pilot episode on YouTube. I absolutely rolled on the floor laughing. And at the same time smiled because of its intelligence. It is a must watch...again...and again!
5) Firefly
Why this show never made it I will never know (another Fox cancellation...stupid bastards). It was truly entertaining. Very rarely do I like the entire cast of a show. There were 9 credited cast members which is very rare for a show to have especially in its first (and only) season. This show didn't get to finish its season. So after a few years Joss Whedon (genious that he is) went off and filmed a motion picture to finish it up for all of us fans of the show. What a swell guy to do that for the fans. Definitely a great watch and rewatch show.
6) Battlestar Galactica(new series)
Oh my God! I was a fan of the old series (yes I am old), so I was very reluctant to watch this remake. Several of our friends were completely addicted to this show. So one day I was at Blockbuster and decided to rent a couple of discs from the first season. After I was done with those two discs I marched my ass right back up there to rent the rest of the season. Later that day when I was done with those I went back up to Blockbuster to start on the next season. Unfortunately they didn't have the second season at all in their inventory for unknown reasons. I was absolutely pissed. So I said screw it and went on ebay to purchase the entire box set. Yea I know...nutso but it is completely worth it. I found it and requested a next day air shipping. I just could not put this show down. I then made Lorin watch it while ranting and raving about it. She loved it. I then set off on a mission to make everybody I know watch it. I didn't care if they borrowed my box set or not! Its just that good!
Stay tuned for part two of my television shows!
