Scary.

I was having a hard time deciding what to write about. I was sitting here about to write about all the things I'm tired of- trust me, the list is long. But then, a movie trailer came on...and now I don't think I can sleep. 

Subject changed. 

Has anyone seen this "The Conjuring" movie trailer? Have you?!? You'll have to search for it yourself on YouTube. I'm not watching it again. 

It's based on a true story, y'all. 

I got tears in my eyes & goosebumps during THE COMMERCIAL.

I'm not a fan of scary movies. Now, stupid scary movies I can see, but don't like. But creepy possibly maybe might've happened---no thanks. Sure I've seen my share of scary movies, but mostly in high school when there was peer pressure. 

Now, I'm old enough to know better. 

What's the scariest movie you've seen?!?

It's Official - TV Has Run Out of Ideas.

I'm tired of talking about the heat.  I spend most every minute of every day trying to figure out a way to stay home with the air conditioning.  Since I've already cleaned out several closets, I'm now watching more TV than ever.  I've watched all of the good shows, re-watched all of the good movies on HBO, moved on to the mediocre shows that I could stand and now that leaves me with total crap on the tube.
When you watch the crap I've been watching, you get to see ads for some FABulous new shows.

Based on the advertising I'm seeing, I think they have run out of ideas for new television shows.

First, I was stunned to see this:

Hillbilly Handfishin' on Animal Planet

Noodling is a Yeti sport, you know.  Apparently.
Do you see the hair all over that dude?
With the cash he earns from his new stardom, I hope he considers laser hair removal.  They might require it before his stint on Dancing With The Stars.

If you just can't get enough, you can watch the promo here.

The best part about this show is that it spotlights the great state of OKLAHOMA and our finest.  And by finest, I mean two expert noodlers who act as guides to city slickers who think they should noodle to find the meaning of life - or at least a little excitement in their life.
The fact that a "city slicker" would need to scare themselves silly by reaching under rocks in the muddy water to grab giant catfish is just dumb and gross.  If they would just spend an afternoon with noodlers it will give them all the excitement they need.

You're not a noodler, by any chance - are you?

It's not like we don't have noodling shows spotlighting fabulous Okies already.
Or do we...?
Like maybe here or here...

Thank goodness for the second show I'm spotlighting today.
It is not an Oklahoma exclusive.

Whisker Wars

I don't have a problem with facial hair.
What I don't understand is creating art with your facial hair and competing with it.

When the ladies start competing, I'm gonna watch this show.
In fact, I think the RHOK will have their own beard war.  How much would you pay to watch this?

Priss, Hart & Albright
"RHOK Whisker Wars"

This is soooooo gonna happen.

Maybe the problem is that I just hate reality TV.  The Doc and I just happen to be the only two people on this planet who don't want to watch real people on TV with their scripted real-life stories.  We like the fake, unbelievable stories better.  Our two favorite new shows are Franklin & Bash and Alphas.  Have you seen them?

Just for fun, I'm going to share the movie trailer I saw tonight. It's going to give me nightmares, how about you?


Nothing left to watch at home and the kiddos are b-o-r-e-d.
This is how I ended up having to see The Smurfs yesterday at the movies.

Please tell me there are better things coming.

Boo.

My youngest son seems to have a scare factor a little more sensitive than most.
He won't even watch Beauty & the Beast or Tangled because there is a scene with a dagger in it.

None of that ever bothered me when I was younger, especially in a cartoon.
I do, however, clearly remember the day I decided that I was through with scary movies.

It was my big idea to go see The Ring at the movie theater with the Doc.

Yeah, I actually picked that movie.  At the time, I thought it was fun to be scared.  I don't know why I thought it was fun since images of previous movies still burned in my brain.  And dare I mention... I've always been scared of the dark.

Regardless, I just had to go see The Ring.

That movie scared the shiznit out of me.
Doc didn't like it either.
And when we got home, I realized that one of us had to drive the babysitter home.

EEK!

After much debate, we agreed that the Doc would drive her home.  And you know what he did on the way home that about made me pee my pants?  He CALLED!  He called my house when it was dead silent!!  The whole stinkin' movie has to do with the scary phone call, if you didn't know.

My heart stopped when that phone rang.
For real.

In his defense, the Doc was trying to help.  I was pacing the floor waiting for him to get home and nothing was calming me down. He thought he should call and let me know he was on his way back home.

We went to bed that night with me snuggled up a little closer to the Doc than usual.  In the middle of the night, Jacob cried and one of us was going to have to get up and head to his room.  This shouldn't be a big deal since - at that time - Jacob's room actually connected to ours.

When I heard Jacob cry, I told the Doc, "I'm sorry.  I just can't go."
Doc got out of bed and started walking.
I think about three paces out he found me glued to his back.

Yeah.  I'm cool like that.

He says, "What are you doing?"
And I confess, "I got scared."

And that was the last time I watched a scary movie.

Are you a fan of scary movies?
Which one is your favorite?
