In which they try to guess who I voted for

Welcome to Stupid Quiz Sunday, in which I'll take an online quiz that may or may not be stupid and post the results.

Thought it might be interesting to see what this one said since I’m more or less in the middle politically.

We Predict You Voted For McCain
We're 65% sure you voted for McCain.
You seem to fit the profile of a typical McCain voter.

We're not saying you should have (or shouldn't have) voted for him.
But if we had to place a bet, we'd guess you voted McCain this year.

Hey, it was right!

It’s the day after Thanksgiving…

Welcome to Friday Photo, a new feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.

We all know what the day after Thanksgiving means, right?

Christmas shopping.

Here’s a shot from three years ago (after Rita) that’s sure to put you in the spirit:

We were building a fence in this neighborhood and drove by that every day. I finally remembered to bring my camera and snap a picture of it while driving by.

I wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all my readers out there in cyberspace.

Chicken Parmesan

A couple weeks ago I started looking online for a chicken parmesan recipe that wouldn’t be too difficult.

I found one and tried it last night.

Delicious!

Teens are (often) stupid, here’s the proof

Fighting it out, bumper car styie:

"Friends don't let friends drive mad" might need to become a teenage adage.

Two Orange teenagers drew police attention Wednesday evening when their boyfriend-girlfriend spat turned into a bumper-car game with real vehicles.

[…]

A 17-year-old girl driving a 1991 Ford S10 pickup truck said her boyfriend had hit the back of her truck with his 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis.

[…]

Later, the 17-year-old boyfriend in the Grand Marquis drove back to the scene. He told the officer they had been arguing at a house on Curtis and 13th Street. When he started to drive away, she blocked his way with her truck.

That’s it, my kids aren’t getting drivers licenses’ until they’re 18!

Standing watch

Miss Taffy’s on top of the hill watching the other dogs:

dogs 020No I’m not! I’m waiting for those neighbor dogs to come to the fence so I can bark at them some more!

Oh, sorry.

What a shock!

For the second year in a row, my Texans prediction turned out to be an EPIC FAIL!

With the Texans’ 33-27 loss to the Colts they drop to 3-7, making my prediction unreachable.

I really need to stop predicting these things, maybe they’d do better if I didn’t.

At least I never said I’d post a nude pic this year.

My thoughts on Quantum of Solace

Yea, I know I said I’d write this Saturday. Oh well.

It starts off right where Casino Royale left off with a very good car chase sequence. Later in the movie there’s a boat chase and then a plane chase. All three were well-done, but what would you expect?

I’ll not say too much of the plot, but it did leave some loose ends. I’m assuming that at least some of those loose ends will be addressed in the next movie.

Daniel Craig’s filling in well into the James Bond role I think. He brings something different to them, which is probably a good thing since the series is undergoing a reboot

Anyway, here’s the bottom line:

It’s a decent movie. It’s not as good as Casino Royale, but it’s not bad. It was worth the $5 I shelled out to catch a matinee on Friday afternoon.

Just a recommendation: Watch (or re-watch) Casino Royale before you watch Quantum of Solace, just to refresh on things.

I’m off to see the wizard! I’m off to see the wizard!

Not really…

But this afternoon I am off to see Quantum of Solace, the new Bond flick that comes out today.

I’ll write something up on it tomorrow for y’all.

Lurking

Bruiser tries to hide…

dogs 040Can you see me? You can? Darn.

Sorry kiddo. The grass may have been high, but it wasn’t that high.

I’ve seen it and I still don’t believe it!

Eddie_06  
A gas station sign in Beaumont on August 5th, 2008, after Tropical Storm Edouard moved through the area.  

After the craziness of gas prices this summer, which got to $3.99 here, it’s amazing to think that yesterday I saw many stations around town that had it for $1.99

Sadly, I don’t have a picture of that. I might go by a nearby Exxon later today and get a shot of their sign, who knows.

I realize that it won’t stay down this low for forever, but it’s sure nice while it lasts.

Artwork of the day

Houston (who lives in Dallas for some reason) from Tater Tots For The Masses drew a cartoon on a whiteboard yesterday.

Check it out.

Bruiser’s in the backyard doing WHAT?

dogs 018I’m not peeing, that’s for sure.

I promise y’all, he really isn’t. He’s the only male dog I’ve ever seen that doesn’t (usually) hike a leg when he does his business.

LOLcat of the day

funny pictures of cats with captions
more animals

The sad thing? That cat has more skills than I do.

… but deliver us from politics

I am happy to report that, at least here, the 2008 elections season is over.

Sure, it didn’t turn out the way I’d have liked it to. But that’s alright, I didn’t really expect it to.

I’m just glad that we can finally put an end to all the bickering that comes with elections.

Good riddance, I say!

LOLpundit of the day: “We have a choice” edition

Today we all have a choice.

We get to choose who our next president will be.

We can choose between this one

Obama Pictures and McCain Pictures
see Sarah Palin pictures

or “that one”

see Sarah Palin pictures

Whomever you should pick isn’t something I’m going to chime in on.

Do your research. Come to an educated conclusion. Then vote.

Or quityerbitchin.

Couldn’t help it

Today I hopped on Pundit Kitchen and saw a picture waiting for a caption that I had to roll with.

It goes along with something I whipped up a few months ago…

So I made one and submitted it. Here’s the link if you want to take a look and/or vote.
