Jerzei Collie's journal

Yesterday's eye exam went well. My long-distance vision is a little better than last time, so my current glasses are actually too strong. I ordered a new pair with my updated prescription and should have them in a week or two.

I've been imagining owning a classic hits station and calling it "The Wolf." I pictured making funny TV commercials with CGI-animated wolves.

I needed to pick up a few art supplies late last night. I had about 90 minutes between that task and seeing "The Bad Guys," so I had dinner at a bar next door to the theater. I got some pumpkin risotto and two lemon drop martinis, then a Mexican chocolate martini for dessert.

The previews had two animated movies which look interesting. "The D.C. League of Superpets" is about the pets belonging to the D.C. superheroes. Another movie called "Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank" is basically a samurai dog movie with the voices of Michael Cera, George Takei and Samuel L. Jackson. Both movies come out in July.

I was the only person in the theater for "The Bad Guys" (It was a 10 PM showing.) I liked the spoofing of heist movies, as well as the storylines involving bad guys being good and vice versa. Not to spoil too much, but it's also bookended by a pair of fart jokes. I definitely recommend this movie.

I had exactly 2 cups of flour left last night, so I could make the full recipe of lemon tea cookies. They turned out great!

The Doggy Radio discussion two weeks ago about animals becoming more human-like reminded me of a classic cartoon. When it was suggested that animals might use porn, I remembered one of the Charlie Brown specials showed Snoopy reading "Playdog" magazine. I found it was 1975's "You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown."

A mouse riding a fox! (I uploaded a better version of it since my crappy cell phone photo was dark and blurry.)



Someone at KRCC dubbed the mouse "Paul Revere"!

This ad has had the car bumping a few different songs, but I like this one the best:
