While I have not watched every minute of the Olympics this year I have wound up watching some of the winter games. I think that curling may be the most interesting sport on the TV at the winter games. I like the fact that almost everyone can do this sport and have fun, it reminds me of shuffleboard and pool with the angles used. I think it would be a lot of fun to try curling. I am not sure if a curling lane could be found in Tennessee but I plan on looking.
Watched the new Clint Eastwood movie last night and I loved it. I have been a huge Clint Eastwood fan ever since I was a little girl, in the 8th grade most of my class went to see High Plains Drifter and I was hooked on him. The last movie Gran Torino was very good but I was shocked at the ending, it did not end the way I though it would and the twist at the end was very good, I will spoil it here but watch it and you will see what I am talking about.
As I was watching my grandson David this weekend we decided to sit down and watch some TV, kind of take a break from the non stop world of a six year old. I was absolutely shocked at what they are calling kids cartoons now. I had no idea there was so much suggestive stuff plus all the very graphic violence. The cartoons that we watched when I was his age, even when my own kids were that age are nothing like the total crap they are watching now days. I am not a prude but I was very offended by it, and it needs to be stopped before more kids are ruined by TV.
The one part about the summer that I do not like is the summer reruns on the TV shows I watch. I may of missed a few during the season but most of them I watched the first time around. I watch a few more movies and get a little more work done in the summer time. I have planted a small garden that has about been rained out. Lets hope this summer gets over fast and we get to the start of the new TV season soon.
After watching the debate last night I am nos so sure that John McCain has changed anyones mind enough to make up the ground he is trailing in all of the polls. I think he made some good points but at some point I can not get past the fact that he looks like an old banty rooster and I do not think I can pull myself to voting for a banty rooster in any election. Let us hope that we choose the best man for President and not make a horrible mistake, that could plunge the country into a deeper depression.
