Den of Wolves

Any way the wind blows...

Another Sunday come and gone. Was pretty quiet with not much going on. Did a little re-arranging to get the box with the tree in it in a better place than in front of the front door. Going to have to do some serious re-arranging during this week by the time Thanksgiving comes thanks to my wife's family tradition of putting up the christmas tree on the same weekend (if not on the day of Thanksgiving) of Thanksgiving. Don't ask me why, but evidently their family has been doing this for some time, so why not obligate. Though I would like to know what happened to all my family's traditions when it comes to holidays? We don't do any of them, yet we do all hers. I have tried to incorporate mine, but we always end up getting into some argument about it. And to be honest, the holidays are stressful enough as it is, why add more fuel to the fire. Ahhhh, the holidays can bite me.

Last nights movie night was a bomb. Oy, I knew the movies that we rented were going to be bad, but boy I didn't expect them to be so bloody bad. We watched Marquis De Sade: Intimate Tales of the Dark Prince and The Queen of the Damned. Needless to say, I wasted a good chunk of my evening with those two stinkers. Gads, if you ever need to avoid any two movies (and I know there are thousands more out there, but) avoid these two like the plague! I used all my resolve to prevent myself from turning off the DVD with them. I paid for the service, and by gum I was going to sit through it all and watch these abominations of the celluloid. You have been warned. If you still dare to watch them, you have no one else to blame but yourselves.

Jumping back on the blog title lyric line bandwagon, I bring to you a timeless song. A song you can't help but stop what you're doing, crank up the volume and sing along! Enjoy!
