Tomorrow it is supposed to reach 80 degrees in central Iowa, which should be strange, because it has been cold and dreary and rainy all the past week and today. I promised my Ma I would not rant and rave about the immigrants, because I might say the wrong thing to someone, so I am going to keep my mouth shut about what I really thing, which is probably not the purpose of having a blog, but it may be necessary. How bout all them clauses and commas all in one sentence.
Finally watched The Ice Harvest yesterday. Pretty much of a thowaway movie, but I got hooked on watching it all the through to see how it ended. J Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton play two businessmen in Witchita who steal 2 million bucks on Christmas Eve. Snow and ice play a big part in the movie and most of the story takes place at night. Lots of suspense, but there are enough holes in the plot to drive a truck through. The lady lead in the movie is got up like Veronica Lake or Bacall. Cusack tries frantically to play the 40 year old guy he really is, but he still looks like Lloyd Dobler older and fatter. Cusack was better in Money for Nothing, which is also about a guy who steals a million bucks. Excessive violence and cussin' in this flick keep it unpleasant to want to see more than once.
The big thing in Des Moines today, beside the Latino strike, was the arrival in town of about 18,000 people to attend an all-day motivational seminar with Steve Forbes, George Foreman, Susie Orman, and Rudy Giulliani, and Zig Zieglar. Traffic was a horror all morning and afternoon rush hour times as everyone tried to get in and out of town on the local freeway, which is all torn up for rebuilding anyway.
You know, friends and fans, I am going to roll up this blog entry, because I am getting drowsy, and I am going to go to bed early, as soon as the Charlie Sheen show is over. You take care for now, and sometime I will create the Ultimate blog entry, which will be the Beethoven's Ninth of blogs. It will be achieved someday some time, so just wait. Di di Mau!
