Dead Zone series...Seen it?

I have watched the Dead Zone series starring the favorite boy of the brat pack not related to Martin Sheen, Anthony Michael Hall. If you haven't been keeping up on his work as of late, he was in several movies, including Edward Scissorhands. As the mean boyfriend of Shoplifitng extraordinaire, Wynona Ryder, he was damn convincing. He also had the distinct honor of appearing in Vincents Price's last film. Nice. The series has only broadcast 2 episodes, but that is plenty for you to get the scoop.

The series if, of course, much like the book. Guy has great life ahead of him, terrible accident, everyone finally gives up hope, guy wakes up with psychic powers, FUBAR.

Anthony Michael Hall is (obviously) not Chris Walken (I call him chris because we're so close...I choreographed Weapon of Choice ;>)). Nor is he trying to be, he lends a fresh perspective to a classic character. By extracting Walkens creepiness from the equation, you get a story that hits much closer to home. The supporting cast, even the bad religious guy, play it so down to earth, that you almost forget that some fantaastical shit is going on.

And the deaths. Yes everyone, there is plenty of disturbing grisly murdering going on. A handful of people you will hate, circumstances that will make you feel stuff--kind of like ER only not written for junior high kids who love gossip, and a fair amount of suspence.
And lucky for us, AMH has indeed grown into a fine looking man.

So I will continue to check out Dead Zone, and I suggest you do to. It's on many times a week, so check your local listings. And do it now, Now, NOW!!!

Oh yeah, and Me

Just a few short words about what's going on with me. Monday during business hours I'm going to call that lady that stood me up for our phone interview on Friday. I have never been stood up for an interview before and I am choking on my own rage, here.

I will also try for a few more retail gigs in my omnipresent search for a job I would want to go to day after day.

The problem is, I am dilligent about sending resumes, doing callbacks, doing all the right things. and I find that many employers do not even bother to say "thanks for applying, wel'll let you know" or "We've filled the position, no need to call back", or even "fuck you, we don't want you, go home and go back to bed." I've had people say "oh, I really want to talk to you, I'll call you back in 15 minutes", then I never hear from them again. I just think some common courtesy would be nice.

Plus I'm going to try and convince H to take me to see Minority Report. Wish me luck!

And lets not forget the full moon with the lunar eclipse tomorrow. That will be some big, chanting, dancing fun. and I am stoked for that because i had to sleep thru most of the solstice. Have a swell day everyone!

Guess what happened...!

I'll bet you can't guess, because if you knew my life that well, I'd have you picked up for stalking. Unless you are Uterdic, in which case let me tell you more...

The chick I was supposed to interview with Friday called back this morning around 9:30. As I was high and baking this coconut chocolate almond cake I was thinking about baking all weekend, I was up for her call.

She will reschedule with me later this week. So employment may yet be mine.
Bwaaah ha ha ha ha HAAAAAA!

As for the cake, I used a Martha Stewart recipe then substituted half the butter for Apple Sauce (because geez, who needs that much rich creamery butter). I slopped all the batter into a bundt (circle with R in it) pan. After 10 minutes in a 350 oven, the batter promptly leapt out of the pan and distributed itself all over the inside of my oven.

After an hour of waiting for the oven to cool, pouring the batter into different pans tht had to be re-buttered and re-floured, I had to reheat the oven and let cake cook for 45 minutes, only after I scraped off all the burnt stuff with a spatula. Results: damn yummy! And now I have a whole bunch of cake and no one to share it with. you know what that means...CAKE FIGHT!!!

Bye.
