The original was always better than the remake, however. The second Zoom they had doing stuff that didn't make sense. For example, he was shown creating shock waves by snapping his fingers - which would make sense IF he were moving them at an extreme velocity. But they began explaining his power as being temporal-based. So all he's actually doing is speeding up his own relative time, so that it appears he's moving faster than anyone else.
Otherwise, I feel.....somewhat aged.
Heh. Try when your little girl can legally drink
Shakes fist
GIT OFFA MAH LAWN!

Yesterday was a looong day. Left Houston around 1:00 pm. The weather started off kind of sucky, but cleared up along the way. Traffic wasn't too bad most of the way. We took our time, and made good time.
Until we got to Baton Rouge.
I like Bobby Jindal, and think he's been an ok Governor of my state of origin. However, he can never be a great governor unless he helps solve the unholy shitstorm that is Baton Rough traffic.
After about an hour to go just a few miles, we got off at Lobdell, had Arby's for dinner at Love's, the got back on the road after another hour. Traffic still sucked, but was moving a little faster.
So we then ended up getting to my in-laws' house around 2100.

My dad's funeral was yesterday. Tons of people showed up. It was a good send off. I saw a lot of relatives and friends I hadn't seen in years.
It was especially nice to see my paternal grandmother and my dad's sister. It had been way too long since I'd had a chance to sit and talk with either of them.
I did not bring the kids to the funeral. I did, however, bring them to the after funeral gathering at my aunts' house. Some folks got to see them for the first time. Everyone complimented me on how adorable they were.
Of course, they get that from me.
Just as a reminder....I love most of you.
I love most of you too! Except your left eyebrow. It's mean

Not sure if I mentioned this either:
My mom-in-law used to manage a Hallmark store. She left that to start her own business selling religious themed stuff. Apparently, they used to get all kinds people coming into Hallmark asking for that kind of stuff, but they never carried it there. And there was no other store like that in the area.
So she opened her own place. It's doing well so far. Business is slowly picking up.
Anyway, that's where my father-in-law was working when he cut his hand.
Pouring rain here. Boy the landscapers are surly today. Still willing to pay $10.25 for their smokes though.
And it's looking to be a beautiful day today.
Here too. Mostly sunny with some occasional puffy clouds, 70, slightly breezy. Very nice all-around, standard autumn weather. Much better than the miserable 30s-40s days we've had the past few weeks.

Ye gods, though. My in-laws can be such jacknuts on occasion. There I was, trying to rock my baby girl to sleep, and these idiots insist on turning on the TV so they can watch the news about that crap in Ferguson. My father-in-law was even saying they should crank up the volume.
Finally, I had to get up, take baby girl into the bedroom and just lay with her until she fell asleep.
My mother-in-law is still glued to the TV. They made the announcement about that shit like 10 minutes ago, but she is apparently fascinated by the details. I for one could care less.

Picked up a new (to me) beer yesterday at the store and drank it last night. It's Abita's Imperator Black IPA. From the bottle.....
...In ancient times, The Imperator was the supreme commander who led his troops to victory, just as today's Mardi Gras lieutenants kick off the carnival parades. Abita Imperator™ is a robust, black IPA brewed with pale, caramel, chocolate and black malts. It commands your attention with an intense hop flavor and aroma provided by Apollo, Cascade, Centennial, Citra and Amarillo hops. With a mighty malt flavor and intense black color, Abita Imperator™ reigns supreme.
The Black IPA’s bold flavor profile pairs well with smoked duck and pork. It is a great after dinner or dessert drink, and chocolate desserts complement the flavors from the roasted malts used in the brew.
Ugh. Im at the dentist. No fun
Have I mentioned how surreal my life has gotten lately? Like I'm surfing a tide of chaos. It's exhilarating and terrifying at the same time.
