Lots of happenings over the weekend. If all goes well, we have a CLOSING DATE on April 29th. !ding! More details later as things become more real. (Hopefully “Keeping it real gone bad” will not occur at any point in this process!)

Somehow, SOMEHOW I ended up watching a movie on the SCI-FI NETWORK this weekend. I do manage to half ignore most of Oak’s Sci-fi watching, but sometimes – it just happens. (Yes I know all the Stargate characters names, and at one point figured out a plot twist before Oak.. that was a moment of sorrow!).

So anyway, this movie definitely goes on near the top of my Worst Movies Ever list. Alien Apocalypse, starring Bruce Campbell. About giant termite-like aliens that take over the earth, and reduce humans to cutting down all the trees on the planet. In the process, humans become an uninspired species. Come in Bruce Campbell, who has been orbiting the earth frozen for the past 30 years. Of course he leads a crusade to beat the Evil Alien Bugs and Save the Earth. In this process we discover that you can kill the aliens with an ARROW. HEllow. How did they manage to take over the earth in the first place??? Need we say much more, really?

The top of the list has to be the Oboe Player Movie (title withheld because alas, it was so bad I don’t remember the title). It was high school, and Shira’s mom took us to Home Video (the local VHS rental place – 5 movies 5 days 5 dolla!). Too much debating led Shira’s mom to grab us a random video from the shelf. Then we were subjected to two hours of British people living in a creepy mansion on a moor, who engage in witty (hard to understand) conversation and play musical instruments. I don’t think that we made it much further and instead played Disco Music in the living room. Anything with John Travolta would have been a better choice.
