Wonder Woman may not suck


Warner Bros. Television began production on "Wonder Woman" for NBC. They were filming on Hollywood Boulevard. They made yet another change to the costume so that the legs don't seem to look like a cheap Halloween costume. Adrianne Palicki is Wonder Woman, Elizabeth Hurley will be the evil nemesis in the first episode. 


I don't like be forced to tell the truth, but for Adrianne, I'm so down for the lasso... just sayin'

Since Wrestlemania is here in Atlanta in a few days



Always silliness but The Rock will be the host. 
Let's look back at the classic mic skills of The Great One.

I like the part where they say "Da da da da da!"



Jacob: WHERE IS MY SOCK?

Esau: I don't know. Did you look around?

Jacob: Of course I looked around. Look at this. MY FOOT IS 
NEKKID!

Esau: Did you really look around?

Jacob: YES I LOOKED AROUND

Esau: Where did you look?

Jacob: Everywhere!

Esau: Everywhere? Which everywhere?

Jacob: That everywhere. And everywhere else.

Esau: Really?......Really??

And my family has always called me Eeyore...

While others called me Christopher Robin. I think my childhood intertwined with these stories a little too much. Good to see my 7 Lettered Diagnosis made the show.

This boy is smarter than you. Fact.

Taught himself calculus, algebra, geometry and trigonometry in a week. My friend Elizabeth is in awe. 








Don't just learn history, role play!

Seven Years

Kiss me, I'm Irish. 
(I'm also Australian so do it down under).






St. Paddy's 2004...We were sitting on the patio at Hooters Augusta drinking green beer and feeling kinda so-so about things. Docs said that they weren't sure, but MAYBE they still saw a trace of leukemia. What was a so-so moment back then has proven to be a point to be remembered as now I can say, in the very least, it has been 7 full years since anyone could tell me that I have cancer.

The Dark Knight Rule Change

This year The Oscars upset me by expanding to ten movies.  Still, I realize that the end result may be that popular movies will become better. Sure "The Blind Side" is not "Field of Dreams", "District 9" is not "The Shawshank Redemption", and "Avatar" is simply some kind of Dances with Smurfs, but all are solid movies with great stories. Perhaps the Academy gave Hollywood the incentive to make mainstream movies that are more worthwhile for the masses. 



When you pay ten bucks, it is nice to get a decent movie that may be worth of thinking about later instead of a fun movie that simply evaporates as you watch it. Too bad that they made the rule change to bring back interest from mainstream moviegoers too late for our beloved Caped Crusader to prove itself as formidable as the Na'vi.

"just studying for a test officer"

So if you ever have the occasion to be on stake-out just as the sun rises and it becomes clear that your beat up old Honda Prelude does not really belong in a gated community, you had better have an excuse when the police car pulls up beside you.


Luckily for me, I am pretty quick on my feet…even when sitting in my car watching for a suspected fraudulent “Workman’s Comp” subject to leave his house.  I had been there for two hours.  I had little sleep, an empty belly save a pack of Pecan Swirls and an emptied cup of coffee that was beginning to tickle my bladder.  My best friend, and the owner of this private investigation firm, was not due to relieve me for another hour.  Unfortunately, I had made the mistake of being rather antsy in re-positioning my car one time too many.  Have I ever told you about my 7 Lettered Diagnosis?


I did not even see the officer’s car until it was pulling right up beside me.  We exchanged pleasantries and when he asked what I was doing parked here I had already managed to slyly reach for my Spanish text book.  On cue, I was able to lift it up as I explained I was just waiting on my friend to get off of work and meet me to look at this neighborhood as he was looking to buy a new condo.  I followed up with a wave of my textbook and saying that I was studying my Spanish Preterites.  I was very proud in that moment considering how especially poor I was doing in Spanish at the time.  I am rather lucky he did not want to know what a Preterite was because I would have been dead to rights.  All around pride for me!

This was very quick thinking because indeed there was still much construction going on in this community and that is why the gate was left open for me to drive in.  Perfectly plausible.  My partner really was getting off work to take over the case so I wasn’t really lying to the officer.  Apparently that is something that is frowned upon.  At any rate, one of the first rules as an investigator is to NOT let anyone know that you are on a case if you can help it or else your cover is blown.  No matter if it is the police or not.  I am fortunate that he simply asked me to wait at the corner gas station and did not press for more information.  Otherwise, I would have had to come clean and then I would have missed my return trip for this case where I got to wear a hidden camera on my jacket. Fun!
