Sometimes I think I’m funny. You can tell when one of those times comes up, because I say something I think is funny, snort a lot, then say, “Haha. I’m funny.” This is almost always directed at my husband, who says something thing like, “Yes you are”, or “Uh huh”, or “What?” (See, that was funny.)
Anyway, I’m home by myself right now, because Ben had a late meeting at work. I’ve distracted the dogs long enough with a couple of raw hides to give me some relief. I started using this time wisely by working on some knitting. Then, I got distracted and started searching the Dish Network guide for things to DVR. I started watching some sort of history of zombies on the history channel. This is hysterical within itself because this is such crap. I mean, right now they’re talking about the dead wanting revenge against the living and they mean what they’re saying. Who says they don’t just want to say, “Hey, you. Yeah. You buried me kinda wrong. It’s making you and I both look like asses. Did you know that I wanted to wear my blue suit?… NO?! I thought I put that in the will. So sorry. No more scary zombie visits. Enjoy the rest of your life!”
Side note: My zombie obsession started years ago, for no good reason. I think I’ve always been enthralled. Then I heard of the Zombie Squad. If you haven’t heard of it, or you have and don’t know what it’s all about, you should just visit the website. I bet you didn’t know there’s going to be a zombie-con next year, did you? I’m a wealth of knowledge here.
Back to my guide searching. I normally clog the DVR with all of the episodes ever aired of The First 48. I stopped doing that because even I was getting sick of seeing the same episodes over and over. So, I love scary movies way too much, and I can never decide which ones to rent or always convince Ben to watch one, so I have been searching high and low to find ones I can watch for free. What have I recorded? Pretty much every horror/thriller/scary movie on SciFi or AMC for the next week. Seriously.
I also seek to record awful movies. If you know me well enough, you know I LOVE awful movies. I’m talking Black Sheep (not the Farley movie) and that movie with Debbie Gibson (of Electric Youth) where she battles a octopus and a shark (or something related) and falls in love with an Asian actor. I’m not selling it very well, but if I told you the real, entire plot, you would never rent it.
This is the part where I tell you why I think I’m funny.
I decided to record a movie called Dinocroc vs Supergator. I won’t even go into the plot. Immediately scheduled to record after that Oscar winner is a movie called Sharktopus. Again, I will spear you the details. After these two movies on SciFi is a movie entitled Dinocroc. I read the synopsis to myself and said aloud to the dogs (AKA to myself), “Well THAT sounds stupid…”
Cue the snorts and laughing, and no one to hear me utter, “Haha. I’m funny.”
Yes, you are funny. Very.
