Hot Damn! It's October!!!

[wednes]

Even though I still haven't gotten it through my head that summer is over, I'm delighted to notice that it is now October. Costumes and candy and honey crisp apples are soon to abound.

Early this morning I found a program called iSquint that converts avi files to mp4's. As such, I now have a wealth of movies for my iPod, including:

Misery
Psycho (1960)
Night of the Living Dead (1990)
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Halloween (2007)
American Psycho
South Park movie
Bedrooms and Hallways
Shaun of the Dead

So that's pretty cool. I figured the original Night of the Living Dead would be easier to find since it's public domain, but I haven't found it yet. I'm noticing my list is a bit on the remake side, but they are solid remakes, and black and white films are hard to come by on Limewire.

I had lunch with my Aunt Barb today. It was wonderful. We had a great meal at La Shish, and talked about tons of stuff. There was a lot about my family I didn't know since my own mom won't discuss anything unpleasant. My Aunt is really cool and it's been quite nice catching up with her, which I told her today. Of course she did not care about my weight or anything else trivial like that. I need not have worried, but then, I fret about plenty of things that don't really neccesitate all that worry.

I'm getting a new T-shirt with a big printy of JAWS on the front. I love it when I find awesome T's in my size. Hardly ever happens, but when it does, it is fucking sweet.

Haven't seen Katie Couric blast Palin? It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so damn scary:

That's great about your aunt!

It is, she's my mom's sister and she is awesome.
I had such fun having lunch with her. Who knows, I might even have something family oriented to do for Thanksgiving.

[groovesinorbit]

That's excellent! I hope it happens.

When a question is re-phrased to her, she repeats it nearly verbatim - without answering it. Either a) she has no answer and has memorized things people told her to say or b) she's really evasive.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

It's probably both. So when one of her stock answers doesn't work, she just repeats when she's been asked.

Palin seems--scared.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

She oughta be, she's in way over her head.

[madush69.livejournal.com]

I actually 100% agree.

[madush69.livejournal.com]

Wow! I still can't figure out why the McCain/Palin camp even agreed to put her in that situation. Clearly she was not ready for that interview. If I was running that campaign, I would have her making the rounds of Rush, Laura, Bennet, and other conservative talk show hosts before putting her with Katie. Dumb move by the campaign. This is just from a perspective as a news guy.

Yeah, McCain's pick of VP to me means he doesn't know what the hell he's doing and/or is a pandering jackass. But then, I'm pretty biased on that front.

[madush69.livejournal.com]

Some of the talk is that he probably hadn't even heard of her until his handlers provided heras a choice for Veep.

Oh, and where did you find the shirt? If you have a link, I may buy some stuff from them too.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

King Size Direct, you can google them.
They are Lane Bryant for men. it's in their clearance section under T shirts. I was gonna tell you about it, but I forgot. They also have Back to the Future.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Ha! Yeah, I guess it is.

Can iSquint work with one of the formats here?
