Getting things done

Life without cable is only slightly more productive than life with cable was. Actually, the only thing I did that I said I was gonna do was pick up my cable box (for my Music Choice channels) and watch 3/4 of my Friday the 13th box set. I was so confused about what was on Friday and Saturday, I watched QVC and Home Shopping Network. QVC had this lady that looked straight out of the Sopranos trying to hawk stretch denim bell bottom jeans. These came in a variety of COLORS like grass green, crayon yellow, and lipstick red. They were atrocious, all high-waisted and colored denim is WRONG!!! Plus, how are we already back to bell bottoms? I would swear skinny jeans only started last year. Why are we leaving the 80s and going back to the 70s? Shouldn't they be bringing back 90s fashion? (Did I ever mention here that Sabrina and I saw a Zubas kiosk at the Rosedale Mall about a month ago?) Door-knocker earrings, bike shorts (with no bike), Hammer pants, Cross Colors. Come ON!

Anyway, apparently Paula Abdul has a line of jewelry (which she kept pronouncing jewlery which is such a pet peeve of mine; that and pronounce realtor as relator). It was like weekend at Paula's because she came on HSN at like 11 p.m. on Friday and seemed to be there all day Saturday, or at least every time I flipped past.

I watched the first two F13s on Saturday and 4 others (plus Jason Goes to Hell which I had never seen) on Sunday. It's funny watching those movies now. I can be so much more critical than when I was younger. I noticed so many plot holes and continuity errors that just didn't matter when I was 15 or 16. For instance, Pt. 2, 3, and 4 are supposed to be happening on consecutive days, yet characters have all sorts of information and newspaper clippings about Jason. One character allegedly had a run-in with Jason a couple years before, but apparently, she's the only other person. And if he didn't drown, what WAS he doing while his mother was killing folks to avenge his death?

Doesn't matter. Those movies are still alot of fun and seeing them only cements my distaste for the remakening. I thought I had over-glorified the old movies but no, the new one is still an ass sandwich.

Gotta go.
