Follow-up to my post on December 5: On the way to swim practice last night, my daughter admitted to having a small crush not only on this boy from her swim team, but also one on the son of some good friends of ours from church.
The swim team kid seems like a bit of a doofus, although not a bad kid, but I'd much rather it be the kid from church. He's kind, soft-spoken, and intellectual, and they once spent half of a party sitting in a room together discussing the Percy Jackson books while the other kids were running around like maniacs outside.

Ha, just be happy it isn't someone with huge tattoos picking his teeth with a knife.

I'm sitting at home waiting for company to arrive so we can all wait for Santa together. I'm also waiting for the day 12 entry for the CCC.

I rewatched that one a couple years ago for the first time as an adult and was surprised by the amount of double entendre and the humor that simply went over my head as a kid to the point where it's kind of bizarre. While I was disappointed by the movie as a whole I still love the casting and there are a ton of fun visuals.

My only beef about Batman Returns is the hiring of Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman and I've find her too bizarre and the makeup on her is really creepy and her costume was ill-designed as well. I just can't accept it at all.

Irwin Allen was doing a lot of cool shows back then some of which hold up pretty well today. MeTV airs a bunch of them too. I'm pretty sure that the Robot from Lost in Space was built by the same guy who created Robby the Robot in Forbidden Planet. They look pretty similar.

Robby was a guest star in one episode of Lost in Space.
LiS was a contemporary of Star Trek TOS, but was generally more humorous. In the third year (I think) they toned down the humor. I recall watching the Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" with my family, and my father remarked that Star Trek had turned to comedy just as Lost in Space got serious.

Robby and The Robot from Lost in Space were both designed by Robert Kinoshita, but they were not the same robot. Robby did appear in an episode of Lost in Space though, where he and The Robot fought.

If you watch the first year of LOS, it was serious. Dr. Smith was a spy intent on killing them. I think they saw that the dynamite between Smith and Will was popular so they made it about them and the Robot. But it did turn pretty goofy. I loved it as a kid.

Watching TV and thinking about organizing my 150 logo in order and that's not an easy thing to do.

Getting ready to paint my older daughter's room. When we moved into our current home five years ago, she, as the older child, got the bigger bedroom, which was painted a Pepto-Bismal pink on a couple of the walls with a light green on the other two, as the previous owner had two daughters who shared that room.
Well, my daughter is almost 13 now and she feels those are "little kid" colors, which I don't disagree with. As such, she is getting one wall painted a deep, almost blood red, while the other three will be a light gray to make better use of the natural light; her room is on the back of the house and is the only bedroom that does not get any direct sunlight during the day, so anything that we can do to brighten it up will be an improvement.
This was supposed to be my wife's project solely, but it became a little more than she could handle on her own, so I got brought into it, which is what always happens with painting around here. It's not anything too difficult, just time-consuming, and I had plans for myself today that I need to punt to another day, which will probably not happen until next Saturday if I am lucky.
