A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010

You know you are getting old when they start remaking the Freddy movies.  For those who may not remember, the original Nightmare came out in 1984.  You can look forward to a remake this year starring Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy. Who the heck is Jackie Earle Haley, you ask? Go to IMDB to find out.  You might remember him as Kovacs from Watchmen.  Might is the key word there.

When is someone going to remake Attack of the Killer Tomatoes?

Or how bout Ghoulies?  There’s a winner.

C’mon Hollywood…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

My childhood nightmares will never be the same.

A Mild Case of Winter

It snowed again here yesterday, a nice brief bit of snow flurries, just enough to cover the ground.  I like it when it’s just a nice gentle snow, not any ice or other bad weather.

Very pretty for New Years Day so I decided to write  a poem about it…

A view of the snow from the back yard.

Frosty white flies flicker down
covering the ground
like puzzle pieces
each is
different
but from the same

Place above in the sky
flying down from so high
covering the night
in a blanket of white
We pull our blankets
around us tighter

To keep warm
while the winter storm
falls peacefully outside
Clocks start over again
wishing a new day in
and a new year
with a white winter here
