UFO?

No, the International Space Station. Pretty Teacher and I watched it orbit across the sky tonight. It was very cool!

Apparently I have no life!

So, yesterday Pretty Teacher and I bought the live webcast of the DCI Atlanta show. That's eight hours of our lives that we will never get back. We decided to cut the boredom and give our input of each corps because who wouldn't want our opinion? Now we will make you relive it. If you don't care about drum corps, stop reading now and get on with your life.

Alliance – Exhibition. Pretty Teacher (PT) said meh, I thought they were boring, I left to do laundry.
Atlanta Corps Vets – Another exhibition. They were really old and had bad music. PT kinda like em for still getting out there but I felt they were wasting my time.
Cascades – Decent drill, pretty good music, fun to watch, some timing issues, got a little boring
Jersey Surf – I like that they got loud, PT thought they got blatty, meh music, lots of drill but not always clean.
Pioneer – PT thought they were boring but had a pretty ballad.
Pacific Crest – Pretty good start, cool drill, made a star, clean too, we like them.
Mandarins – PT thought it was well done but boring , I got bored and looked up rankings.
Madison Scouts – We don't like the all male thing but they are good, fast,clean, cool drill, good music and sound, good guard.
Spirit – First impression – dumb, well executed but bad music, guard on and off, Scouts are better.
Crossmen – Good, cool drill, like the music, Scouts are better.
Colts – Decent
The Academy – I said flags were dirty in first half, PT said guard looks good in white, great ending, like the changes, stronger sound, first corps that made me say awesome.
Troopers – Too cutsey and boring
Glassmen – Did well bu,t eh
Blue Knights – Did well but eh too.
Blue Stars – Stupid boxes (props), did well but, eh.
Phantom Regiment – Too cheesy but they play music well.
Boston Crusaders – The show felt long but we liked music.
Bluecoats – Good drill.
Carolina Crown – PT thought some of the drill and music was good, but some too cheesy. I loved them! Good ballad.
Santa Clara Vanguard – PT didn't like music, she thought the Blast music is over used.
Holy Name Cadets – Freaking awesome drill, guard is great.
The Cavaliers – Very good but all male and you know how we feel about that!
Blue Devils – I thought on a ascale from one to ten they are visually a 30, PT though they were great, Cadets had best drill but Blue Devils had best show.

So there you have it, time you'll never get back!

Random Ramblings

I think I am just too hot to care about posting but these things did come to mind:

To Congress: Don't you think there are better things to be concerned about than focusing on whether or not someone should be able to take a concealed weapon across state lines? (Hint: Education!!)

To the citizens of California: How can you put up with a governor that allows the state to go bankrupt and to hand out vouchers for tax refunds that the bank won't honor?

The Obama Doubters: Let's not forget that President Obama was handed this country's problems. It took Bush 8 years to drag us down this far. Don't you think the President deserves more that 6 months to dig us out?

The the American people who are afraid of Obama's health care program: Remember, this is for you! The President and Congress already have excellent health care.

Ok, I'm done, I feel better. Thanks for listening.

True?

I heard that in California it's illegal to drive wearing flip flops.

Albuquerque

Went to Albuquerque last week for work. Weather was great, in the 80s.

















The downtown area is very old and cool looking...












































We walked along Historic Route 66...






















The main street in the downtown area is Central Avenue. Here is the bar we thought about going to but when we got close and gandered the people on the patio we thought better of it. Not only is it a "Library" but it's also a meat market.

















We did find libations though...












































This one horse town shuts down at 8 p.m.! Where's a girl to get a drink? We went back to Maloney's. I had the "big" beer the second night!

The next morning we woke up to a restaurant on fire...

















I had nothing to do with it!

Truth is Stranger Than Fiction!

Ok, so, "they" want to pass a law that says you can carry a concealed weapon into an establishment that sells alcohol BUT you can't drink. Ok, so, how will they know if the person has a concealed weapon or not? I tell these things to my friends in California but they think I'm making it up.

Space, the final frontier

I went with Pretty Girl to see the Star Trek movie. It was really good. I hated the series. I was just a kid and thought the TV series was really boring.

This movie had great special effects and I had fun trying to remember who the original person was and the character were introduced.

Next up, I need to see the first Transformer movie so I can go see the new one. And I want to see Terminator. I don't care that Arnold isn't the Terminator, he's too old to pull that off anyway. What's not to like about Christian Bale?
