Some corrections to consider.

it came to my attention the other day that i need to correct some things i wrote about. i am no backing down on what i said at the time, as the writings were a knee jerk reaction, but i need to correct my viewpoint on these matters:

1) on august 4th, i wrote a blog called 'dear hollywood...'lambasting the need to remake films from mostly the 70's and 80's. among the films and pictured was a supposed remake of 'the thing.'
i came to find out that the re-make wasn't a re-make at all, but the story of the scandanavian team that finds the alien BEFORE the team in the '82 re-make do.
the new 'the thing' is a prequal. i will be seeing it. or a t least renting it.

2) on february 25th of this year i wrote a blog called 'emasculation pt.1' that was aimed at my rental car-a yelllow vw beetle. i am not a huge fan of vw's as the are notoriously high maintenance vehicles. BUT, the new beetle is very tantalizing as is the new vw bus. so i am taking back what i said. plus, i saw so many yellow vw beetles on the road after i rented one, i thought i was being stalked.

3) on october 6th, i wrote a blog called 'more occupy wall street sites' and have been blurbing in other posts about not being part of some 99% thing or what have you. i came to this conclusion: everyone has the right to peacefully protest in this country. everyone has the right to mass together and question what they don't like. the best part that is coming out of the 'occupy movement' is that people are communicating more and maybe SOME good could come of this. i just choose not to be a part of it. that's my right.
still, the fake sites i made up were pretty funny.

anyway, these things were on my mind, on this somewhat sunny Thursday.
