When I say, “Obscure” I MEAN Obscure

Last evening I was YouTube surfing. I came across some old 70’s game shows. I was a VORACIOUS game show fan in the 70’s.

“Match Game”, “Gambit”, “High Rollers”, “Now You See It”, “Jackpot”, “Password”, “$foo Pyramid”, “Gong Show”, “Joker’s Wild”… And the real “Wheel of Fortune” with Chuck Woolery, Susan Stafford, and buying ceramic dalmatians and putting the rest on a Gift Certificate.

I ate this stuff up.

One in particular was “Treasure Hunt.” A really trashy show from the mind of Chuck Barris. (Which should make that statement redundant).
Here's the quick summary from wikipedia

You know… I don’t really want to call it jetlag…

I typically get about 6 hrs of sleep per night. And that seems to be okay.

Since getting home its been a bit more. Last night it was about 8 1/2 hrs

On the one side its good. I sleep deeper. I dream more. I have more rest cycle.
One the one side… it’s not so good. I awake very groggy. Not all my dreams were great fun.

Currently I’m on the bus wanting a pillow.

There will be a full weekend report coming. With everything that happened in L.A. as well as everything going on at home… there was a lot to take in.

But big props and thanks to ardras156 maeghanne (and everyone at Hazard house whos LJ’s I don’t have) and especially sesa777 for amazing OTO-style hospitality. Thank you for making my weekend so special and welcomed.

BAD DAY! Blues Song: Uranus Retrograde: F’ing Seahawks Fans

So, lets skip over the fact that Verizon turned off my INternet at home with no warning.
Let’s skip over the fact that I spent the better part of 8 hours on the phone playing tag and getting rudely chewed out by a tech support ass.

No.. Then, as H is on the way to pick up A at daycare… Some moron runs a red light and rearends her into the next car.

My second car in Washington has been totaled and yet another Steelers bumper sticker is toast.

This is a bad day!

H is shaken but ‘for the most part’ undamaged. (Bumps, bruises… We’ll know more after we get to a doctor)

More once everything plays out.

Very not pleased today

What do the following two films have in common:

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Raiders of the Lost Ark

Answer in comments. They are screened.

I have a very specific answer in mind. But will not rule out other correct answers.

Go! 😉

With Aiden recovering on the couch today we decided tonight would make for a good movie night.

We discovered some film cravings missing from “The Library” which will soon be rectified.

While looking, however, something odd happened. Aiden (being held by H) started pointing at the collection.
“Would you like to pick the movie, tonight?” I asked.

Figuring he’d just connect with whatever DVD H walked to, it was an exercise in amusement.

However… Aiden’s finger zeroed in on a specific DVD. It was obvious he’d picked one. Moreso when as we got closer he reached for the one he was pointing to and pulled it from the shelf. He’d pointed at the same one all the time.

Granted… it was the big pink one that stood out from the black and blue of the other jewel boxes.

So Aiden’s selection tonight: “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert“
