Tomasaurus Rex

Tommy is now 2 years and 4 months old. He is very funny, and a dancing genious. Yesterday, we both danced to the theme song of the TV Show Survivor if front of the TV in our living room. He is much shorter than I am, coming only to the top of my leg. You would think this would make it hard to have Tommy as a dancing partner. You would be wrong. Tommy did a great job with inerpretive dance to the Survivor theme music. He was also an exceptional dancing partner, allowing me to make some well placed interpretive moves as well. We both recieved a round of applause from my wife and 9 year old daughter as we took our bows and CBS went to commercial.

Tommy is also an exceptional interpreter for worldly creatures. He knows what noises several different animals make. Although he has never seen one face to face, he can also successfully imitate the roar of a dinosaur. I do not know what type of species of dinosaur (Tommy will not tell me for some reason), but I would guess the T-Rex. I will ask Tommy "What does a dinosaur say?" at some opportune moment during the early evening as we chew on popcorn watching some Pixar movie.

He'll look at me with that evil smile, the trademark of the Ruslfish family line, and say "Rwarhhhgh!" He'll then bare his fore claws, drop his head low and hunch over, pacing in a semi circle around me, looking for a weakness or opening to bite or claw at me. I must defend myself, grabbing Tomasaurus Rex and blowing hard on his belly until he laughs himself to exhaustion.

TV According to Me

I watched a little of the Emmys last night. I saw David Letterman commemorate Johnny Carson into some hall of fame deal. Good. Carson was fun to watch even when he was old. He still made me laugh. I hope his retirement was fun while it lasted.

I didn’t watch much more of it. I just don’t like those shows like I used to. There was a time when I thought all those stars were witty and smart and had important things to say. As I’ve grown, I’ve come to realize they’re mainly narcissists and focused on the wrong things. They are not very well educated and act like poets do. “Can’t we all just plant trees and love each other?”

“No. We kill each other. Now shut up or I will kill you, dickhead.”

My favorite show right now is Battlestar Galactica on the Sci-Fi Channel. It is pretty entertaining. I also like Survivor, which many people like so no big deal there.

I’ve been watching that Rock Star: INXS with my wife. That show just shows you how self centered and moronic singers can be. Then thy have that Dave Navarro hosting. I swear he is Prince with tattoos.

There are two great cartoons I watch. The first is Justice League. Good stories and characters. They have the foundation DC superhero characters, and actually give them personalities. There are points when you can tell Superman just wants to haul off and punch Batman in the face. Nice! The other cartoon is the Venture Brothers. Man, talk about funny! It is a mock Johnny Quest cartoon.

Search for Justice League and Venture Brothers. The League is usually on Saturdays around 6 PM. The Venture Bros. are on Sunday nights at 9:30. At least, they are on the West Coast on Dish Network.
