Yesterday we went to the Mills and watched Thunderbirds. Forget what the critics say. As usual they are a bunch of neanderthal dunderheads. They wouldn’t know good or fun if it slapped them in the head and did the chicken dance on top of them. Let’s face it.

Thunderbirds was AWESOME. The kids LOVED it. Us big kids who remember the original Thunderbirds loved it. Heck we were so amped up we came home and watched Thunderbirds Are Go!!! I think they did a wonderful job trying to get the characters and the sets and the Thunderbird 1- Thunderbird 5 looking like the originals. The only thing was that Tin-Tin was most definately NOT a teeny bopper in the old series but she was in this. I did like Brains Jr… that rocked. And for some reason Brains and his son both had stutters but it worked well. The casting was superb as well. I give it two snaps up in Z formation!

We didn’t do much else of interest. Watched movies, read… that sort of thing. Just mostly hung out. The hurricane was dumping rain galore on us. Yipeee.

Today we kidnapped my grandfather from Wilburn and took him to Red Lobster. My gosh was he excited!! Since Sir Megabyte and I have been traveling, we haven’t had much chance to do something with the entire family. So he was excited to see the whole clan. We brought him over to the house for a bit as well. He enjoys this as it gets him up and about and out of Wilburn which he enjoys carrying on about to no end.

In other news I finally broke down and bought Sir Megabyte some “running shoes”. Now my theory is that sneakers are sneakers are sneakers. And that this whole “tennis shoe” and “basketball shoe” and “Football shoe” and “running shoe” and everything else is a bunch of malarky. They are all sneakers. The only differance might be if they need spikes or if they are cheap vs better quality. But that you can buy one pair and use it for whatever. He knows and understood my relunctance in going out and dropping money on shoes. However his sneakers are getting a little ragged plus they were cheap I’m sure anyway. But he seems to be dedicated so we’ll give it a go.

80 bucks for a pair of sneakers. So that’s what, midrange for cost? I was pretty impressed with the cost since I have heard of people spending well over 100 bucks on shoes! They are Nike Air so I’m sure some of it was for the cute little check mark. But being Nike hopefully they will give him the support he needs. The store we went to was an actual running store (who knew there was such a thing?) and so they let him go outside and jog up and down the sidewalk in different shoes. He thinks he found a good fit. These are very comfortable and seem to help him feel better. That’s good. I don’t like him being in pain, though my theory was that running was for masochists since running is painful. (My knees don’t work right so walking can be painful for me let alone running.)

So here’s hoping these shoes help him out. I’m so not a shoe person. This guy was rambling on about soles and blah blah blah and I just looked at him blankly. He was like “You don’t understand?” I said “I own like three or four pairs of shoes. All are in storage except these sandals.” I know, I’m a total freak. I don’t like shoes. I wear them until they die. I don’t spend any money on shoes either. I figure I put my feet in them so who cares… ROFL.

Here’s the real kicker… so we leave and he’s all happy with his new shoes (he really does like shoes) and he goes “Ok so if I let you get your pocket pc will you be happy?” I said “Sure! Sounds like a good trade!” Then I stopped and I looked at him and said “Just what kind of sick relationship do we have where the guy wants shoes and the girl wants tech. Isn’t it supposed to be me bribing you with tech for new shoes?” He laughed. We’re so messed up… hahaha Just one of the reasons why we are a corny couple I guess. Well like I actually thought I was normal? Yeah… right… Well, I guess now we know how Sir Megabyte and Lady Ozma have made it last ten years!! We’re a bunch of goofballs!

Sometimes I think I’m so goofy I wonder how anyone puts up with me… At least it explains why I have such a hard time hanging out with some women. They are all purses and shoes and I’m all like tech tech tech. Let’s not even start on shopping… I’m just as happy shopping off the net for most everything… then I never have to leave my house!! Bwahahaha… I’m a dork! 🙂
