The Ron Clark Story was a good movie. Matthew Perry did an wonderful job in it. I normally don't watch the TNT Johnson & Johnson movies, but I checked this one out. I was glad I did. My only complaint was that it was pretty much the same "good teacher gets students inspired to learn" story, but then again it wouldn't be a good story if it had a "they all failed" ending, would it? Anyway in a few weeks "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" will be on I'll be watching it. Hopefully this and the Ron Clark movie will have the US seeing Mr Perry as something other than Chandler Bing.

As you may or may not know this blog is also linked to my Matthew Perry website, the CitizenNancy Matthew Perry Scrapbook. It took roughly forty entries but now I have one about Mr Perry. On TNT this weekend a movie he stars in, the Ron Clark Story, will be on at 8 PM eastern (check your own listings for time and channel in your area) This is an incredible looking movie and I thought I would be a bit lacking if i didn't use this space to promote it. Its based on the true story of Ron Clark, a teacher. I promise a blog, if not that night then at least the night after on what I think. My MP site is at this address: https://members.tripod.com/~citizennancy/

This weekend I went to a monster truck/racing event. I do not go to a lot of these races. In fact the last time I went to a race the movie City Slickers was in theaters. I only know that cause the race got rained out and we went to see that movie. But since then I haven't gone to a race even though there a handful of race tracks near me. I do not go because... a) It's noisy. One thing you forget when you see it on tv is that you don't hear the cars. It's a blessing. b) Its hard to pay attention to when everyone and their brother is walking in front of you to get to the concession stand. If you are looking at some guy with a shirt off (who really needs to wear a shirt) sometimes you miss the action or the crash. c) There are insects, and lots of them. I saw a dragonfly that looked like a small black helicopter. d) At my old job I used to be at work during the same time the races were being held. Yeah, I could ask for a night off, but you see how motivated I was: not very. So yeah, I kinda let my "Redneck" side show when I went to the races. There were more races than monster truck orientated stuff at the event. I guess I'm more of a fan of "smashy smashy" than racing anyway. The following picture proved to be too big for my blog, but its one of the monster trucks named "Thrasher". This is the link to the picture. Let me know if you can't see it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/citizennancy/000_0156(.)jpg At this race there were three monster trucks. All three of them failed to completely total a red minivan, so if you want an indusctructible car, get a mini van. The position of the mini-van, in the middle of one pile, might have worked against the monster trucks.

I havent had a blog since July 16. And for that I apologize to the two people reading this. For these people: A semi new blog! In August I promise to blog more, and actually blog about what I say I will. The "Remakes vs originals" topic will come around someday. In the meantime August promises the following: A blog on who I think will win Emmys, and surely a blog about me whining about who did win. A glorious book review! Hint: A fiction book from a tv anchor. I will provide a review of "Snakes on a plane", and some movies that came out this year that you should avoid. Stay tuned, it should be good!

More people I want to go away: Rachel Ray from the Food Network. Who she is: She is a cook on the Food Network, has three shows including one that is about how you can spend 40$ a day and get three or four good meals. Obviously shes never taken advantage of dollar menus. Why: Shes everywhere. She has three shows on the food network and one more upcoming. I think it is some sort of talk show. Geez. Talk about spreading yourself thin! I'd rather see more shows with Alton Brown, the Good Eats food guru.
Star Jones, formerly of the View. Why: Shes on a farewell tour after pretty much quitting/getting booted off the View. I will like Star more if she vanishes and shows up with a revamped look (she looked better when she wasnt scary skinny! I am protecting your eyes by not posting a picture.) and a new show. Maybe she can tag team with Rachel Ray. Tuesday, 11 July 2006
