Last night was Scooty’s Jamaican party that a lot of people forgot to
show up to. Or, at least, they were busy and could not make it. Either
way, there was not many people there, which sucked, but we still
managed to have a good time. Scooty was making daiquiris for everybody,
which really kicked ass, I haven’t had one in years. They were not very
strong, though, as it barely gave me a buzz. They also had all sorts of
good Jamaican food, such as jerk chicken and…………other chicken.
The weather was pure Jamaican weather, a balmy 59 degrees and dropping
with wind and near constant sprinkles. Lovely. We hung out until about
12:30ish when I came home.Today, I took Keith and Heather’s 6 year old daughter Nicole to see a
movie. She really wanted to see some other movie, but I talked her into
seeing The Omen. At first, I didn’t think it would be an appropriate
movie for kids to watch, but the theatre was packed with kids. I guess
it is a kids movie, I mean, after all, it is about a child. I’ll tell
you, though, its a lot different from the original Omen. For example,
there were a lot of cars in the movie, and they must have all been
possessed by Satan because they were all talking. But, it must have
been a good sort of possession, because most of the cars were not mean,
but instead happy. In fact, the movie really wasn’t too scary at all, I
think they really tamed it down. It must be because of the crazy
Republicans and their crusade for decency, but there wasn’t even any
scary music at all and nobody was jumping or screaming. Sure, there was
a little bit of crying and kids making a little bit of noise, but
nothing like when I took the kids my mom babysat to see the Blair Witch
Project.

Never would consider taking a child that young to see The Omen, but then again most of the kids I know get scared easily. Nope, Never been to Chicago and I am getting frustrated trying to plan on how to get to the Taste of Randolph Street on Sunday. Toad the Wet Sprocket are playing and I want my nephews to experience an unMinnesotan street fest with one of my favorite bands playing.
You are so fucking hilarious. At first I was all like ‘What kind of sick fuck would take a 6 year old to see The Omen?’
Then I figured it out. Seriously though, was Cars good? It’s been getting some great reviews, and I kinda wanna see it.
Taking children to see a movie….so cute. I swear, if you ever go straight…
