I'm Home Alone

Literally. Since I'm stuck here I'm watching Macaulay Culkin mess up Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern's characters in the 1990 John Hughes flick, "Home Alone." Yeah, whattya know.

...yeah. When this movie is over, I'm gonna throw on another one. Be back in a bit...

Having a bad day?

Imagine making minimum wage only to be taken hostage by some guy holding a fake gun.

The next time I go to Six Flags Magic Mountain, I'm going to smuggle a water pistol in and see what kind of advantage it gives me while waiting in lines.
