10 Things That Were Better “Way Back When

~ Music Stores You could actually listen to excerpts from an entire album before buying it and there's nothing like doing it in the store with friends.
~ Watching movies in a theater when you paid one price and saw two films.
~ Riding a bicycle without having to wear a helmet.
~ Vinyl records that literally had grooves embedded from too much play. After one side finished, I had to get up and flip over the record or change it out.
~ Affordable concerts at small venues where bands would play for three or four consecutive nights and I could afford to buy souvenirs.
~ Childrens birthday parties where the party was about the kid and not the parents trying to outdo the others with fancier, more elaborate and expensive parties.
~ Amusement parks were a lot less expensive and a family of four could pay the admission, eat two meals and buy souvenirs for less than the $150 it costs just to enter the parks today.
~ Low gas prices which encouraged long drives just for the hell of it!
~ Stadium concerts with three top bands on the same bill at a reasonable price.
~ Independent bookstores where I knew the owner and they knew my taste and would recommend what to read. The musty odor of the volumes of books that lined the walls and you could meet a fellow book lover and just talk. Nowadays everyone has ear buds jammed in their ears!

10 Movies That Disappointed You

~ Rob Zombie's remake of Black Christmas. The gore and plot were so over the top and such a departure from the original that it was a pathetic joke.
~ All About Schmidt It received good reviews and in the end was simply Nicholson being Jack Nicholson - what's the big deal?
~ Rush Hour 3 Chris Tucker should never - ever - be given an opportunity to sing in a film. His high falsetto voice is just too weird and bad.
~ Spiderman Take you pick of any of them, they're all super cheesy when it comes to the CGI and let's face it, the film ain't happening without CGI.
~ Collateral Tom Cruise is no hit man and he was definitely miscast. The studios must've been really desperate.
~ The Hoax A very boring drawn out film about an author who almost walked away with millions for writing the unauthorized biography of Howard Hughes.
~ Hook Robin Williams as Peter Pan?
~ Moulin Rouge! Why was this made?
~ Gigli
~ Waterworld

- Van Morrison Blue Money Another favorite of my mom's.
- Peter Frampton Do You Feel Like We Do? Live stadium concert at Anaheim Stadium that totally rocked.

10 Best of TV This Season

~ Showtime Dexter
~ HBO The Wire
~ ABC Desperate Housewives
~ Showtime Weeds
~ CBS Boston Legal
~ FX Nip/Tuck
~ CBS Shark
~ The CW House
~ The CW Bones
~ ABC Grey's Anatomy
~ The CW Supernatural
~ Sci-Fi Dr. Who

My order represents the night the show airs beginning with Sunday. Hmmm, this list looks like I watch way too much TV. Of course, everything's DVR'd so it's not unmanageable. This represents only what's currently airing, many of my Sci-Fi shows are on hiatus, but this will do for now!
