Introducing Bob


Bob joined the family last night. I love these tiny projects that can be done in a few hours. Bob is the definition of instant gratification. Sadly, one of Bob's legs is longer than the others. I originally thought that he is the Nemo of Bobs, but really Nemo's special fin was smaller than the other. So I guess he is the opposite of Nemo of Bobs with his special leg.


Bob had a very exciting morning. As you can see he went kittyback riding. Kittyback riding is so much fun until you slide off the cat and land on the floor, as Bob discovered.



I have a confession. A non-Bob related confession: I like movies about dancing. I have no idea why, because I am in no way a dancer, although there is a dance club kind of place here that is fun to go to just to watch people. Hours of entertainment are to be had sitting at a table in that place. One time there was a group of girls who were dressed up, and I would not even say they were just wearing fancy dresses, but they were more like prom dresses. One of the girls was so drunk she fell up the stair going from one room to another, in the poofy, glittery prom dress. It was fantastic. Anyway, off the tangent and back to dancing movies. I inexplicably like movies I can admit are pretty bad, but I also don't like some movies that are, I suppose, classics. For example, I do not like Flashdance (If you owned that strip club, why would you continue to let her try out her routines on stage? She doesn't even get naked and if you do not get naked while working at a strip club then what is the point?) But I did not mind You Got Served (don't judge me). Maybe it is not technically dancing, but Bring It On has been a favorite of mine for many years. I love, love, love Center Stage. The acting might not be perfect and the plot is not really original, but the dancing is amazing and I can't even tell you how many times I have seen it. I even bought it because I got tired of paying to rent it so often.

So, to further my love of dancing movies, I Netflix-ed Step Up. It was horrible! Not only was the acting bad, but the dancing wasn't all that great either. I assume the only reason to watch this movie, unless you are like me, is because of the lead actor. And really I don't even understand that, but he is probably very attractive to those people who like non-smiling, muscular, military-esque types. So whatever you do, avoid this movie at all costs!

She was a classy stripper. She didn't need to take her clothes off.

That must be it, although I was not aware there were classy strippers, just ones you went to high school with.

That work at "juice bars."

They have to get completely naked at juice bars, no class at all.
