Yesterday in the DC Metro area, we were supposed to get a blizzard of 12-18 inches of snow. We ended up with 4-5 inches…this morning maybe 2 inches are left.
My work closed. Rather than blasting the weather men for being wrong again, I thanked them because, “Hey…no work and no shoveling. Woo-hoo!”
After completing my work-from-home, I watched Total Recall. Which ended up being more work. Only I didn’t get paid for it.
Maybe it’s because I’m not usually a fan of sci-fi. Maybe it’s because I was hoping for something similar to the Arnold Schwarzenegger version.
Maybe it’s because I saw Harold at the beginning and spent the rest of the movie looking for Kumar. (He never showed.)
Here’s what I learned:
- Be careful of hugs from your wife. She may be trying to strangle you.
- Sometimes the palm of your hand has a phone in it.
- If you dream about being a secret agent, you were a secret agent before your memories were erased.
You’re under arrest for wasting my snow day.
Most importantly, I learned that not even Colin Farrell can hold my interest in a sci-fi movie.

ha ha ha The last post comment is cracking me up.
I couldn’t BELIEVE we didn’t get a single flake of snow in Jersey after all that hype. I’m glad it worked in your favor, though!

Yeah!

We didn’t get anything except a few drops of rain here in PA. I sat on the computer all day anyway.

Next time you watch a movie, I need an invite. You watch all the corny ones and I need a life so…HOLLER!

When the trailer for this one came out, my husband made me watch the old one because he said it was “good”. It was not.

You basically described blogging: work, no pay.
And yet…

I really prefer serial killers or porn to sci fi. But that’s just me.

How disappointing. But at least you got a day off. I had to go to work. All it did was rain in Bmore. Boo!

We didn’t get the snow blizzard here either, but it was wicked windy outside. I slept all day under a pile of blankets.

Good god! If only Maine would shut down with a mere few inches of snow. I’d get to try and find Kumar all the live long day too.

Another lesson: If your wife is that much hotter than you and your manual labor job, she’s probably up to no good. (Although I would totally go along with the whole “My Wife is a Super-Spy thing, if I got to be with Kate Beckinsale.)

I CanNOT deal with his eyebrows. I find them so distracting.

I wore a chef’s hat everywhere I went before my memories were erased.

True story…I have a neighbor that helped me all summer redo a stone patio. Around May he claimed about getting Total Recall. He was getting memories of being a secret agent for the US, how people were trying to kill him, how everyone was spying on him, even me. Its true! What do you say to someone that just loses it like that? He didn’t have either super secret agent wife or previous girl friend. His mom was trying to kill him and trying to get his brother to be our President…..stranger than fiction! Maybe a sequel?

I agree that the Arnie version was better. Not only was this version unable to hold my interest (where’s quato?) But I expected to see the 3 boob chick for more than 20 seconds. I mean seriously, what’s the point of gratuetous mutant nudity if it’s just a tease.

Get Smart taught me that sometimes your shoe is a phone. I wish the telecommunications companies would make up their minds.

I LIKED the original. No need to sully the memory with a do-over.
