lifetime movie overload

• And.. I'm back. My weekend was fun as always. Friday evening I worked at Traffic.com then went to dinner at Applebee's in Alameda with Michelle, and browsed at Borders for a bit. Then I took her to Emeryville to show her where I work. Later on I came home and hit the hay. I was tired as you can imagine.
  
• Saturday was my usual job in San Francisco, then off to Lodi for 80stastic fun with Kimmie. First order of business was watching No One Would Tell starring Fred Savage as a very possessive and abusive boyfriend of Candace Cameron's. He ends up killing her in the end, it's horrible. After that traumatic event we went for dinner at Rick's Pizza down the street. Very tasty. Then we stopped at the House of Coffee for dessert. I love iced mochas. We have some INTERESTING vlogs from this adventure, and when my computer is back in my possession and I'm actually awake enough to upload things, I'll edit it all together. After our little field trip, we went back home to watch Promised A Miracle starring Judge Reinhold and Rosanna Arquette. It was good, and sad because it's a true story. That Fred Savage movie was a true story too. It's crazy what people have the capacity to do. Then we watched the beginning of Darkness Before Dawn starring Merdith Baxter-Birney, the queen of Lifetime movies and Movies Of The Week. Haha. We ended up conking out halfway through it, but oh well.
  
• Sunday we woke up after about 9 hours of blissful sleep, made some coffee and finished the cinematic masterpiece of Darkness Before Dawn. Stephen Lang who played her also drug addicted husband (both of them had meth/heroin problems.. scary) had some jammin hair.. seriously. He looked like Kenny Loggins getting electrocuted. The most volumized hair/beard combo I've ever encountered. That movie ended and we took another field trip to A&W for lunch, where I took inappropriate pictures with the bear mascot. Then off to the 99 Cent store, where I found a 3 episode video of Zoobilee Zoo for 59 cents. Talk about a steal. When we got home I tortured her with Off Beat starring Judge Reinhold, Meg Tilly, and the bald principal from Back The To Future. Judge on rollerskates learning modern dance. Enough said. Then we watched one of my mother's faves, Not Without My Daughter starring Sally Field and Alfred Molina who portrays a major ass. That's putting it lightly. I'm glad Sally escaped. I saw this movie in 10th grade history class, and way too many times at home. Mom was a major Sally Field fan. It's a good story, and scary to see how women are treated in other countries. The movies we watched this weekend were just so full of drama, seriously. Last show of the night lightened things up a bit. I forced Kimmie to watch Judge Reinhold hosting Saturday Night Live with musical guests the 10,000 Maniacs. Boy that was interesting. All I can say really.
  
• I was late for work again. This happened last time I went to Kimmie's. Traffic in Tracy sucks. Instead of just having that one area of construction in the middle of Tracy, there's another construction zone right on the bottom of the Altamont Pass as you're leaving the city. By the time I got back to San Lorenzo to grab food I was almost out of gas so I had to fill up. Then I got to work and clocked in like 45 min late (thanks Caltrans.. ugh) and took Victoria home. That's about it. Oh yeah, we had Taco Bell for dinner. I had my food from the "Fresco" menu so it was supposed to be lower in fat. I guess. Oh well, I'm back to my healthy eating tomorrow anyway. Okay off to go through bulletins and surveys and maybe take a semi-nap. Yay.
  
• Catch phrases of the weekend. "Hi.. I'm Ted.. won't you sing with meeee?" "Welcome to Mandys N More, free adult diapers with every purchase." "Thanks cerebral palsy!!" "Oh my god it's a Jimmy Olson/Cheech Marin hybrid!" "Fitness Works (name of a gym there in town we passed).. not for us!!" "She looks like one of the Fly Girls from In Living Color.. seriously check the spandex."
