Description a Day: Bedroom

First in some exercises wherein I describe the room I'm currently in, in excrutiating detail.  Also, exercise is a word that I CANNOT spell, ever.  That and Wed. the middle of the week day.  I can't spell it, can't pronounce it.  Also, the second month of the year, Feb.  I cannot, for the life of me, spell that correctly or, more importanly, pronounce it right.  Seriously, not exaggerating for effect, can't spell it, can't pronounce it, can't do it.

The first noticeable thing about the bedroom is the 8 foot high, five story industrial bookshelf.  Approximately 5 feet wide and 3 feet deep, this shelf holds 25 long boxes, each holding 250 -300 comic books in them.  This sits adjacent to the doorway, with a Superman III poster hanging from the side, facing the doorway.  Behind the open door is a sliding closet door, with the light switch directly next to that.  A black and white pencil sketch is above that, hung on the olive colored wall.  In the center of the room, a Queen sized deep brown wooden bed sits, four pillows and a striped comforter resting atop it.  An end table sits along side the right side of the bed, host for a telephone and some assorted books strewn about.  On the left of the bed is another end table, of a different style than the right, taller in height and with a sliding drawer.  On top of this table is a small lamp and alarm clock.  Directly above the bed hangs a black framed poster for "Superman: The Movie", flanked by two framed original pages from the X-Factor comic book, illustrated by Walter Simonson.  Along the north wall, 3 windows face the city park across the street and are bracketed by floor length brown curtains.  Across from the bed is a dresser and drawer set.  The drawers sit below a high mounted "Born To Run" poster, with a television resting on top and a Sega Genesis attached to that.  These drawers sit directly next to the mirrored dresser.  On the dresser top is a vanity and some unsorted clothes.  To the left of the dresser is a framed original cover to Showcase #22, which is Green Lantern's first modern appearance.  This is also where the main light switch and remote control for the ceiling fan resides.  The Ceiling fan is a standard five wooden blades with adjustable light and speed controls. 

MotD 10/19/09 - The Crazies

I've got a lot of respect for George Romero.  He broke so many lines and stayed so true to his roots, what little I do know about him strikes me as a genuine guy who really cares about issues... and Zombies.  I really love that most if not all of his movies are in PA.  "The Crazies" seems to me as if he crossed his own "Night of the Living Dead" with "Dr. Strangeglove".  Govt. testing goes awry, as it always does, and drives people INSANE!!!  Not like zombies, but CRAZIES!  Lots of social statements for the 1970's, really quite enjoyable.

MotD: 10/20/09 - Bolt

You get a double dose today, to play catch up.  I watched "Bolt" this morning, an animated tale about a hollywood acting dog who thinks he's REALLY a superhero dog, gets fish out of watered when he's sent to New York and teams up with a sassy cat and a hamster.  Totally forgettable animated fare.  I saw John Lassetter from Pixar was an Executive producer on this, I can only imagine he's responsible for the few cool scenes.  Otherwise, the basic story is blah and been done before in, let's count off only the animated ones... Toy Story, Madagascar, Cars and that's only the ones that jump to mind.  It's not horrible, certainly kids would like it, but it just doesn't have that magic ingredient that true Pixar movies have.
