Random Thoughts from the Weekend (Clone of the Mummy edition)

Filed under: Weekend Discoveries — kryptobrent @ 12:55 pm
  • EPCOT is a great place to go  the night before school starts. There was only a 65 minute wait to get into Soarin’!  (We still didn’t go on it.)
  • Darcy and I went to see the new Mummy movie.  In a nutshell, it was a moldy, lifeless, sequel that shambled all over the place, just like a Mummy, and I hate stupid reviews like this.
  • I was able to successfully instruct someone in the differences between zombies (undead, brainless, eat brains), vampires (undead, brainy, thirsty), and ringwraiths (not quite dead, brainwashed, eat peanut M&Ms).  I feel my work here is done.
  • My friend Rob and I saw the Star Wars: Clone Wars movie (sigh). It was actually more fun to debrief afterwards.  My thoughts in a later post on why Star Wars is starting to (fingersssss…sta..rting…to…ssssseeize…up)  suck.
  • I’m starting to get that old familiar feeling.  You know the one I mean, since I’m sure you feel it too.  Christmas is coming!!
  • I had a side-by-side comparison of Cocoa Puffs and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  Winner: CTC. (And it doesn’t make you feel like you’ve been chewing glass the next morning.)
  • When Floridians get bored, they manufacture a hurricane to spice things  up.

  1. How do you think CTC would do if it came up against Count Chocula? Or Boo Berry?

  2. I believe the little cooks on the CTC box have the intelligence (I’m making an assumption here, based on how they were able to engineer such a great-tasting cereal) to take on Boo Berry, since as a ghost Boo probably doesn’t have the wherewithall to stand against them; plus, his greatest asset as a ghost–the fear factor–is counteracted by his cute appearance. However, Count Chocula would overcome them by way of his vampiric powers (turns into a bat or mist, speed, some flight, has mastery of all things chocolate).

  3. I never thought of it like that. I think my soul healed just a little bit with your wisdom.

    Thank you!
