Dancing Seeing Stars: The Fall

Our family has been constant followers of both Face Off and Dancing with the Stars, for several seasons, never missing an episode of either. 

For almost my entire life, I have been a huge fan of the details and inside secrets of movie magic, and have made multiple Halloween forays into makeup effects. 

Guess which class we ended up taking?

My Peruvian wife’s genetic disposition to dancing and my curiosity from watching Dancing with the Stars led to the only possible answer. 

EXPECTATIONS WERE NOT HIGH

Upon hearing I’d enrolled in a ballroom dance class, friends of my mother asked:
“Doesn’t Jeff dance like your husband did?  Standing still while Rosa dances around him…
He must really love her.”

The Next Generation Watches the Original Crew - Part 2


We finally finished the Star Trek films.  There was a large gap between the first post and this one, mostly due to detours through Middle Earth, and the entire series of Reba.

See, my wife does have an influence on viewing selections in our home.

Disney World 2010: Preludes and Plans

The Disnish Invasion
Or
It was actually worth it


Scheduling, planning , and moving eight people consisting of two families with three small children through Disney World is more complex than most military operations, therefore this travelogue will be a . . .

Classic Doctor Who – Modern Song

Does the world REALLY need another “Call Me Maybe" parody?

There are millions of them out there, many of which have fully produced videos.
In fact there are already several Doctor Who themed ones.

However, since I am not a twenty something girl with a crush on David Tennant or Matt Smith, I thought I could bring something new to the table as there was a perfect fit for this song in the most famous run of the Classic Incarnation of Doctor Who.

More importantly, the down side of having a daughter at the age where she’s discovering pop music and bringing it home, means I can’t get the dang thing out of my head.  Of course the up side was she was a valuable assistant in proofreading to make sure it matched the meter and music. Thanx kiddo!

Moo Mighty Moo Cow

Years back, my cousin sent me bizarre E‑mails about moo cows for a while, culminating in a little poem. 

It became the first verse of this…thing.
Then I wrote two more verses and a chorus. 

I'm not sure if it's funny, strange, or just stupid (possible all three). 

The fact that she went on to be a veterinarian, and I went on to attempt comedy on the internet twice a week may or may not be relevant, but I feel a bizarre urge to share it.

Maybe the moo cows have gotten to me too...or maybe it’s just the deadlines.
