Use it or lose it.

A coworker made the comment that his Prius has more computing power then the Apollo Space Capsule. I mentioned that he probably did not need to use his slide ruler that much in his car but then I started to think about using a slide ruler while driving . . . .are there any laws against this? Maybe someone should get a bill in congress forbidding the use of a slide ruler while driving.

They say you never learn if you never make a mistake. I say this is rubbish because if you never make a mistake . . what's the problem. Just don't make a mistake.  That saying only comes from people that make mistakes to make them feel better.  I mention this because obviously the producers of the OSCARS have never made a mistake. I know this because people who have practiced and have a life long commitment to making mistakes . . such as I,  have a lot of practice at either covering up, said mistake, of making excuses that are plausible.

So when during the death part of the awards where they show all the movie people that passed away they forgot a few pretty big time people. Farrah Fawcett (19 movies) who was in 19 movies, Bee Arther who was in a few movies that were nominated for Oscars and Henery Gibson who was the leading man in "Nashville".

So their excuse was "we ran out of time". WHAT!! YOU RAN OUT OF TIME?   Do you mean that James Tayor's song was two minutes and thirty seconds so some one could not make the cut?  Was that it? OR maybe you were afraid the show would go to long by that extra 15 seconds? Yea -I understand THAT one.

Why not a 'WOW WE FORGOT" and apologize. Micheal Jackson was recognized for his seven movie (notice the tepid applause). I'm pretty sure if it was a time thing you could have dropped Jackson an no one would have noticed.

Fawcett AGAIN got screwed by Jackson.  Not only does Jackson die on the same exact day Farrah dies, taking away Farrahs death thunder, but then HE get's mentioned and she gets NOTHING!   

sigh!

Speaking of movies! Alice in Wonderland!! HOLY CRAP!! Johnny Depp!! YOU ARE A GOD for Disney. Largest IMAX opening weekend of all time CRUSHING AVATAR. The largest March opening EVER for regular movies. It made 30 million MORE then most forecasts! Alice was the 6th biggest opening weekend of all time and Johnny now owns the three biggest movies in Disney history.

The movie itself was attended by 55% female with 54% under 25 and received an A- from those people. Over all only 9% hated the movie while 55% gave it an "A" and 25% a "B".

One big thing was this gave the industry faith in 3D technology.

I took my mom to the new DOC yesterday and we came away with her feeling pretty good. All of her ailments were from the fact that she is getting old. NOT some scary problems like her old Doctor had her believing. The old Doc would keep saying things like "let's go in and look around" type stuff. The new Doc says things like, "you are getting up there in age and while there are problems they are not life threatening". She came away feeling MUCH better.

The main thing was to keep moving and keep getting exercise. When older people break a hip the the real problems come from the fact that they are laid up in bed and THAT speeds up everything.  KEEP MOVING!  Use it or lose it.

So I tool all the chairs out of my moms home.

Madison/Columbus now is in the top 10 for most amount of consecutive days with snow on the ground. We are now 7th at 97 days. We can probably get to 6th beating 1971 if we make it to tomorrow but then it gets tough. To get the 5th we have to get to Monday and that ain't going to happen.

Look at this massive storm heading our way!

 Do ya like all the fog?  You do realize that when you enter fog you are shifting realities a little. Fog is caused my a shift  in reality streams.  Things in your life are just a little different then when you entered the fog.  You enter fog and your life is heading in one direction and you exit and it is just a little different.  You might not even notice any chance but . . .it's there.

Yea - most people think it is humid warm air over cold ground but come one.  It's a Space/Time warp for sure.

Have a great Tuesday
