I'll have a dreamscape full of zombified blue cat people: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 4:44AM 
And it's Tuesday. Again. How does that happen? One minute, you're cruising along thinking you just posted a random type Tuesday post, it's probably only Saturday by now, Sunday tops, and BAM! It's Tuesday again!
The fact that I have to go to work probably should have tipped me off.
Anyway. Write your random, glue it together with spit and the purple button, and link up. Shall we begin?
Best cardio workout ever: carrying your 40-lb toddler while slogging through 2 feet of snow, into a park to use a slide that's been abandoned since October. Seriously, Jillian Michaels has nothing on this. I was seeing black spots. One of them even spoke to me.
(Alternate title: How to NOT freeze to death despite the fact that it's freezing.)
I feel like I've been losing my blogging mojo lately, other than Random Tuesdays. I need something like Stiletto Mom's Shoebox Chronicles. I need topics, people.
Oh, and could you write the posts for me while you're at it? Thanks.
I saw Avatar yesterday. I really liked it, though it wasn't without its faults. The plot was nothing original - it was pretty much Dances With Blue Kitties. And the dialogue wasn't spectacular, though at least it was consistent and didn't try to be witty or anything. But the visuals, holy crap. It's going to be a classic just for that. The way we used to look at closets and wardrobes, hoping that just this once it would open a door to Narnia? That's how this generation is going to be looking at tanning beds.
There was also a trailer for a movie called "Percy Jackson and the Something Something"...which kind of zoomed by but I'm pretty sure was subtitled "Oh Hai I'm Whimsical and Magical and Appealing To The Kid In You That Wanted To Be Special, Can I Be The Next Harry Potter Plz?"
My friend Fashionista gave me the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks as a belated Christmas gift. I just started reading it today.
I'll call her at 3am to thank her, when I'm wide awake and wondering whether boarding up the windows will wake the toddler.
And that's about it for me. I know, right? But I have a feeling I should go read that book before...well, just before.
So write 'em and make 'em random, and be sure to visit your cohorts in craziness to say hi!

Not sure that I want to see Avatar? Maybe I will just go do it. I usually skip over the little avatar people on the porn sites, so maybe that is why I have no interest! haha
I have plenty to write about, but am still losing some blogging Mojo!
I'm debating on if I want to see Avatar or not. I keep hearing the same things: graphics rock, story is unoriginal. I'll probably just wait until it's on HBO or something.
I'm actually considering participating in RTT this week instead of just reading along! It honestly depends on how engaging my classes are...
There are some stories going around now about Avatar making people depressed. Consider yourself warned now.
I kind of want to see Avatar, just because. But not if it's going to make me depressed. Who needs that??
Tuesday does come around awfully fast. I heard the same about zombies. Lock your windows!
Holy crap, you leave the house in that cold? You guys don't have optional hibernation periods.
Some weeks Tuesdays are the only day I post. Some weeks random are the only thoughts I have.
I have no mojo either. Maybe we can form a club.
Either way Happy RTT!
I had heard as much about Avatar, but I still want to see it.
My RTT is not at all with the R this week, but you know, I gots to play along.
Are you going to Blog Her this year??
Did you see Avatar in 3D? I'm hoping to drag hubby to see it before another 3D movie takes over that theater. I hear it's wicked cool in 3D and you don't care about the storyline then. ;)
That IS a major workout wallowing through 2-feet of snow with a 40-lb toddler. I'm with Mrs. Bear - you guys don't have a regular hibernation period up there? ;)
3 am phone calls. What are friends for?
My toddler keeps asking me if we're going to walk to preschool in two feet of snow, and I tell her NO! But we've got serious cabin fever over here, too!
Oldest Son said the same things about Avatar that you did, only he referred to it as Dances with Space Wolves. I like Blue Kitties better.
If the survival guide doesn't work, ThinkGeek.com has a helpful book for once you're undead, called Zen of Zombie.
I've heard mixed reviews on Avatar. Won't spend the money to see it at the theater.
Now why were you going to the park in January? We like to go to the play area at the mall. I avoid work-outs like that at all costs.
Cliff is practically begging me to go see Avatar. I just hate the theater SO MUCH. And I still hope that closet doors will lead me into Narnia. So lame. I know.
Methinks you need another moose head in your garbage.

The fact that my husband is not home is what's keeping me up at nights. Add a book that will scare the spit out of me? That's a confirmed diagnosis of crazy right there.
I want that book!
Lost your mojo? Are you nuts, you had me cracking up!
I thought Avatar was fun. And I might add, Sam Worthington is very worthy.
I live for RTT! Helps with bloggers block.
Keep the faith ~ Elise
PS
Avatar should only be seen in 3D.
I so relate to wondering where the time goes ... it's been MONTHS since I've shared Random Thoughts on Tuesday, but I'm turning over a new leaf starting today ... and hope to get myself in gear to share weekly again. At my age, methings walking Molly is cardio workout enough for me.
Hugs and blessings,

I think I still sometimes hope that when I step into my closet, I will find Narnia. Although you're right, I might start tanning to find Pandora...
My friend thinks that it should have been titled "Dances with Aliens" but I think I like yours better. But you are totally right about the visuals. Simply amazing.
I want to see Avatar but I have to be honest. I don't get out to see adult movies very often. My daughter loves Percy Jackson. It is a series of books about Greek gods. Good luck with the zombies. Think of it this way, do you really want to be the last person left?
I bet Avatar is awesome on the big screen. I can't tell you the last time I actually went to a movie theater. It's way too expensive these days.
Not quite sure what this Avatar movie thing is about but everyone seems to be talking about it.
I'm skipping Avatar.
I'll skip the Percy Jackson.... movie as well.
Sherlock Holmes was pretty good though.
I'm laughing at the vision of you boarding up the windows at 3 am.
Happy Tuesday!
