Things That Made Me Smile part 8 (maybe, can't remember so let's just go with 8, ok?)
This news story. It's being reported all over but most of the reports are leaving out the best quote from Evel - "That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever seen in my life, and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public," the 68-year-old daredevil said Tuesday.
I had just taken a sip of my drink when this came on the TV and I almost sprayed it all over the coffee table.

Saucer of milk over here, part 1 in a series I'm going to call : Straight to DVD.
This.
For about 2 years Vin Diesel was everywhere, on all the talk shows, in all the magazines. What went wrong? Apart from the not very good acting, I mean. It's not like Hollywood really cares if you can act, after all Martin Lawrence, Sylvester Stallone and Rob Schnieder keep getting work.
Anyway, Vin, (of course he reads this, wha'daya mean?) I know times are hard but did you even read the plot for this one?
Babylon A.D.
Plot Outline: Veteran-turned-mercenary Thoorop (Diesel) takes the high-risk job of escorting a woman from Russia to China. Little does he know that she is host to an organism that a cult wants to harvest in order to produce a genetically modified Messiah.

TTMMS today.

life is a rollercoaster

The past couple of days have been very up and down with a few Things That Made Me Smile, from here on - THMMS, and Things That Pissed Me Off,- THPMO.
I'll explain.
TTPMO 1: A guy from a wilderness charity at the door who talked for a full 5 minutes about butterflies and trout and I had to interrupt to tell him that as I am unemployed I couldn't afford a subscription/whatever he was selling. He then told me that a simple donation would do.
TTPMO 2: Monster.ca. Registered with this job website months ago with all my details (medical research, lab technician yadda yadda) and all they send me is details of sales jobs.
TTPMO 3: The title for this post, for some reason as soon as I thought of ups and downs that Ronan Keating song got stuck in my head on an endless loop.
and so to
TTMMS 1: Walking away from the sanctimonious wilderness-charity-guy.
TTMMS 2: At least a couple of times a week someone mistakes Iain's accent for Australian. So this time he said, yes he was from Brisbane. They had a bit of a chat about Australia and this guy wanted to know why he would leave there to come here. Iain told him the skiing was better here. He has never been skiing. Ever.
TTMMS 3: Listening to the two guys fixing my porch roof sing along to Billy Idol's White Wedding and then Lou Reed's Take a Walk on the Wild Side.
TTMMS 4: Seeing a racoon for the first time, a whole one, alive and not in the form of a hat. It was in the tree outside our house and Iain has called it Ronnie.
More smile things, thats good.
and if the charity guy comes back I'll set the racoon on him.
