SHUT THE GOD DAMNED COTTON PICKING DOOR

Lately I have found myself looking at Pippi Longstocking movies for sale on Ebay. I don't mean the new one or the cartoon one, I mean the 1970's era English dubbed films starring Inger Nilssen that were shown by Tom Hatton on successive weekend on the Family Film Festival. I am not sure why I have become so obsessed with the idea of owning these films... I want to see a horse in the house, or see a car fly or something... I just remember loving the movies so much and really looking forward to the time of year when they would undoubtedly be shown on TV. I miss having that to look forward to.

THAT IS ONE CAR WASH THOSE FOLKS WILL NEVER FORGET!

I keep thinking about different skits done by the comedy troupe, The State, who used to have a show on MTV. It is one of my most favourite TV shows ever and supposedly it will be released on DVD soon. I want that so bad! So many of the things I say on a daily basis come from that show and it stretches far beyond your usual "I wanna dip my balls in it" Louie quote. I hope the DVD is released soon. I really, really do.

So, January is over halfway over already. I can't believe how fast time is going by.

A couple of days ago I had the beginning part of a root canal on one of my back molars that had collapsed. I say beginning part because at the dentists here in London, they do things much more methodically than the "wham-bam thank you ma'am" style in the US. I appreciate that. What I don't appreciate is the Armenian leg this is costing me. 105 pounds for a temporary filling until next week?? All in all, it will end up being around 1000 pounds, which is around $1900 American dollars. Can you believe it? No wonder these people never go to the dentist! I'll be going back to see Dr. Geoffrey Macaw on Tuesday (Let Macaw ya back!).
