Post-sick Blog

I'm feeling much better today. Thanks to people who wished me well and also to those who wrote blogs that entertained me yesterday.

For those of you who missed it, my IM away message question was to name where the following quote was from: "Sick as a dog... gonna vomit." The answer was Austin Powers 2, said by Dr. Evil after his mechanical chair spun out of control on his moon base. Congratulations to Oiy and Olivia for scoring the correct answer, and also props to all others who participated. It was a tough one, even if you like the Austin Powers series a lot, that wasn't a well known quote.

By the way, if I ever have any future contests of this type, there's a good chance it will be from one of the following movies:
Austin Powers 1, Austin Powers 2, Home Alone, Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Office Space, Happy Gilmore, The Fox And The Hound

Haha maybe not the The Fox And The Hound, most people probably have no clue what that is to begin with. In case anyone is wondering, it's one of those animated videos (not sure if it's Disney or not). I think me and my sister stayed with a family with younger kids for a few days, and we watched that video so many times that we knew all the lines. It's pretty amazing that 10-15 years later, I can still quote some lines from that movie. "I'm Copper, I'm a houuund dog!"

Well, yesterday was a pretty good day, other than the splitting headaches, body soreness, and extreme nausea. I caught up on some sleep missed in the past few months. I played craft with Dennis at like 1 in the afternoon.

I also discovered that there was a He-man movie made, with a younger Courtney Cox, and watched about 10 minutes of it on USA (or was it TNT), before realizing that it was a completely awful movie and changing the channel. That's too bad, cause I used to love He-man. One of my few action figures as a kid was a He-man where you stick those red round caps in the back, and when you twist his waist, he snaps back and delivers a powerful punch, emphasized with a loud popping sound (hence the cap). It was cool, except I wish his waist wasn't always crooked. He looked more like scoliosis man actually.

Oh, one last bit of exciting news - CHRAS has started a new blog. Read it here. I'm so proud of him. Way back when I first started this blog, not a lot of other people were doing it. Since then, so many new bloggers/"xangans" have joined us and it brings a tear to my eye. Nina, you are next.
