Unsupervised (2012– )







User Reviews

check it out for yourself, i really love this show
17 February 2012 | by Deathtoll Zero (United States) – See all my reviews
Unsupervised is a great show, its not like Beavis and Butthead, all the characters are more complex and have their own distinct personalities and issues to deal with. Some episodes (like any show) are better than others but overall i find myself laughing at this show a great deal. The voices and animation are solid, not mind blowing but look what southpark did with their animation. All in all i really hope this show gets a second season, just cause its positive and about kids growing up doesn't mean it should be attacked by people that mostly just hate Always Sunny; you do need to have some kind of connection to your childhood to fully appreciate the show.
This is me...not the character, it is now my voice, not some know-it-all from IMDb.  The Know-it-all has it right, the re is a great positive message in this series.  If yo don't watch it, you should. This guy with the cast is really fucked up.  He is always sniffing it...GROSS!

Head's lactose intolerant side effects brought us all out of bed this morning.  I made coffee and let the dogs out then came up here to put one last blog together before we go to the in-laws.  I shouldn't have  given her that ice cream last night.  I will be posting pics of all the great food we are going to have, most of which I am going to cook.  Fish taco dinner tonight.  Migas for breakfast...migas is a dish I discovered at Los Nortenos in College Station.  I will also  be making another of my favorites at Los Nortenoes, ranchero hot sauce,  you have to remember they were the only ones to serve warm salsa.  I also liked the fact it was byob.  We had some fun.....  We have no Mexican favorite here.  One reason is I cook so damn good, none of them measure up.  Second, we ate out every meal for a year and we have to have a good reason to eat out.  Third, when we do choose to eat out, we prefer to bring it home, the menus are resivoirs for microbes, the tables are dirty, and the customers are jerks.  At least at home, we're related to the jerks we're eating with.  I ain't saying we're not jerks too.





(quote from some web site I found the picture on) While in Bryan went to Los Nortenos Cafe in Downtown Bryan. It boast of making the biggest breakfast tacos in the Brazos Valley but it was around lunch and my brother and I had the lunch special which was under $5.00 each. It was very good and also plenty good size. Los Nortenos also bills itself as the oldest Cafe in Downtown Bryan. The owner Julian ran it when it opened and still does today. Several celebreties have eaten there over the years. Julian told me Lyle Lovette and Julia Roberts among others used to eat there. All the walls are covered with pictures of people some celebrities and some not. When I visit in Bryan I usually eat there at least one day myself.

Our trip to Los Nortenos

It was a beautiful warm and sunny day here, so my husband and I decided to take a little drive. We love a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Bryan, Texas called Los Nortenos. It's about a 45 minute drive from our house, but well worth the trip! The restaurant has been there for years and I first learned about it from my sister, who went to Texas A&M. They serve authentic Mexican food. I have two favorites when I eat there. The first is their migas, which is the best I've ever had. They are served with refried beans, guacamole and warm, fresh tortillas. My other favorite is their tamale plate, which is served with rice and beans. Their salsa is delicious too and it has huge chucks of stewed onions in it. Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts used to eat there years ago when they were dating or married. If you are ever in the Bryan/College Station area you MUST stop there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You won't regret it!




I can't get Head's toxic gas out of my mind.  You might think it was the frozen burritos I made them for dinner.  After shopping, I had to put together something easy.  My family loves frozen burritos  sometimes I bake them in the oven with green (or red) enchilada sauce and cover them with cheese right before serving.  I think I have a picture....imagine that!


MMMMMMMM.....it is like premade enchiladas.  Total prep time, thirty seconds.
Buy one or two, or a whole bag in your grocer's freezer...yes, they make veggie frozen burritos.  Pour over the enchilada sauce and enjoy.  Before leaving for the weekend, the refrigerator has to be purged of all the food that will go bad while your alone.  Think of Pee Wee's 'frige full of zombies.   Whooooo...scary.



These tamales were 'at risk'.  Head wouldn't eat them.  They boys did.  I had some gravy left over from fried chicken and yellow curry....all on the wrong path.






The red couch is now downstairs in the eldest's room, along with the square coffee table.  Head's meth-head brother made that table.  My parent's gifted Head this sofa for ...well, being Head.  You know what I mean.  She gives and she gives, ...and she won't shut the fux up!.  Hardy har har.  I love that gurl!



Interesting book.  Essays from Luddites and Quakers and Amish. My only question is, who decided when to stop technology.  They use horses and hand plows and hammers...you get my point.  I think the key is to use tools and not become one.









Well, here's looking at you kid...get ready for a full debriefing of the family outing.  I guarantee it will entertain.

Until then, don't sweat the small stuff and don't touch the sweaty stuff!

The Dunwich Horror (2009)





In Louisiana, the thirty-five year old single mother Lavina delivers a baby boy and a monster in the evil Whateley House. Ten years later, Dr. Henry Armitage and his assistant Professor Fay Morgan discover that the page 751 of every copy of the Necronomicon is missing and The Black Brotherhood has summoned the gate keeper Yog Sothoth to leave the portal opened to the demons and ancient gods. They invite the arrogant and skeptical Professor Walter Rice that can translate the Necronomicon to help them to seek the book. Meanwhile Lavina's son Wilbur Whateley ages very fast and seeks the missing page to open the portal.

Review:
This movie reminds me of something you would see at a local film festival (and I am not talking about Sundance or Canne).

It is one of the worst Lovecraft attempts to date. Dean Stockwell is wasted. Combs is passable... but also wasted (not that Combs ever really raises the bar of what he is a part of). The acting is all bottom of the barrel. The editing, direction and effects are horrible.

If I had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for something positive to mention, it would have to be the sets and locations. Those were well chosen.

I rarely say that a film is so devoid of merit as to deem it a complete waste of time and money, but this is one of those rare films. Save your time and money. You will just be sad you squandered them watching this trash.

However, if you like B-level schlock for the sake of a good laugh... you might be able to suspend disbelief long enough to laugh at this. But... even that would be a stretch. It is as unwatchable as movies come.

I found just a couple of more LP covers to finish out the series...


I have found a new series to replace the album covers...


Say 'Cheese'!

It is selven in the morning, looking forward to a long Holiday weekend.  Today, Head is going to her brother's to see her parents and the new baby.  Remember the Sienfield episode, 'You have to see the baby!'.

I am taking a vacation day Monday so we can all go out the her brother's and stay for New Years.  It has become something of a tradition.  They say if an Aggie does something twice, its a tradition.  Her brother's job keeps him in town over the holiday, and my eldest works for the same company.  The majority of the liquor is sold this time of year.  Most of the 7-Up is sold around this time too, FYI.




I am watching a video I picked up at RedBox, sketching a little, writing a little.  I have a couple of works of fiction going. I cheat and make them semi-autobiographical.  Not really true but a grain of real-life in there somewhere.

I made the decision years ago to live in my mind.  Rather, to go back to living in my  mind.  Growing up, an only child, I made up my own adventures.  Now that I'm older, I'm back to pretending as much as I did then.  I like living in my head, there is lots of room in there.  


I am what you would call a 'home body'.  I love being at home, piddeling with my stuff.  I would die happy if I never bought another thing but made use of all the things I've accumulated to date.  I have lots of pens, pencils, and paints to draw with.  Plenty of journals and drawing tablets to draw and write in.  And then there is always the computer, infinite space to put my crazy ideas in.  Pictures.  You can tell I like pictures and if I were to get into video,  I would be truly unstoppable.  I could pour out all my silliness.  The best part, the absolute best part is I don't give two shits if anybody ever reads what I write or looks at what I draw.  You see, I do it for myself.  Bottom line, I live for myself. Totally self serving.

Savages (2012)

Entrepreneurs Ben, a peaceful and charitable marijuana producer, and friend Chon, a former Navy SEAL, run a lucrative, homegrown industry - raising some of the best weed ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with Ophelia. Life is idyllic in their Southern California town... until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head of the BC, Elena and her enforcer, Lado, underestimate the unbreakable bond of the three friends, Ben and Chon - with the reluctant assistance of a dirty DEA agent - wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills. 



Picked this beauty up at the RedBox.  I get the recent hits at the RedBox.  The only chance the torrents will bet attention of the courts is to steal a current hit.  Only movies in the theaters have lawyers.

Let's see a funny album cover.




Out of album covers.  Need to find a new series for my blog.  

I posted this mornings festivities on my other blog.  Go there and see.  


It's a gawd damn shame, dressing a dog....








It started raining then sleet, then snow. It is a white Christmas.  





Don't eat the yellow snow...



Don't you dear throw that...


Five pounds of great mashed potatoes.


Head's folks shipped us the steaks.



Head thinks it's so funny it makes her piss stink.  She just laughs.


Shrimp two ways, in garlic butter and with avocado cocktail sauce.




Don't you like wedge salad? Bacon, cheese, iceberg.  I added avocado and tomatoes.



We watched NBA basketball and visited, the boy's came and went to play their video games.  

Head said what made the day for her was not having to entertain or travel to be entertained.  She has spent the day on her computer and phone, social networking. It is how she ...how she exists.  The boys, they exist with their video games and texts.  Me, I have my movies, books, and journals.  We all are comfort junkies, looking or a warm place to shit and shoes that fit. Unfortunately,...or fortunately, depends on how you look at it, that's all their there is.  I

Hatfields.and.McCoys.2012

A clash of clans that evoked great passion, vengeance, courage, sacrifice, crimes and accusations, which changed the families and the history of the region forever. The Hatfield-McCoy saga begins with 'Devil' Anse Hatfield and Randall McCoy. Close friends and comrades until near the end of the Civil War, they return to their neighboring homes - Hatfield in West Virginia, McCoy just across the Tug River border in Kentucky - to increasing tensions, misunderstandings and resentments that soon explode into all-out warfare between the families. As hostilities grow, friends, neighbors and outside forces join the fight, bringing the two states to the brink of another Civil War. 





My eldest got his first real LP for Christmas.  Now he has to buy a turntabel, a receiver..that is an expensive gift.

 

When I was little, and she was so big....I still remember....

I have family pics.  My side came for an early Christmas.






My mother bought these stickers to identify our drinks.  We demonstrated our creativity. Mine rocks.






My mother worked hard to make lemon curd tarts.  I didn't get one. Not that I don't like lemon...



My mother bought the box of chocolates just to taste the salty caramel   It's up t me to eat the rest.  The purple cupcakes are store bought for the oldest nieces second birthday.  Kid food. Mos to of the


The grapes were left over form Head's work party.  The olives were a gift from her friend at work.  The popcorn is a mix of caramel and cheese.  My mom said it is made special.  I say they just swept the floor at the end of the day and bagged it.


The youngest made the queso dip.  Head just had to get 'festive chips' for my mother.  What's wrong with plain? The green ones give testicular cancer, the green ones give breast cancer.  We are all doomed.





We started the buffet table when my brother was pre-school.  They told him Christmas as a celebration of the birthday of Jesus.  So, we had a birthday party that year and every year since.


My parent's brought Elgin sausage.  Elgin is a small town, known for making sausage, and it is great.  I actually worked for a family who owned a BBQ joint in College Station that sold Elgin sausage.  I'd go in on Wednesdays to let them go home early and eat...eat enough for the rest of the week.


















I made four different kinds of hot sauce, most of it too hot to eat.








Dippin sauces for the sausage.  I like to use my shot glasses to serve it.



I put little smoked sausages in yeast dough and baked them off.   man, they were a hit.  Maximum enjoyment, minimum effort.  On the right are three kinds of tamales.  Pork, spicy chicken, and cream cheese.  Cream cheese with a roasted pepper.







Time to pass out the presents.










Rod and Rhonda.

Holly, she has a name to match the holidays.






















































 Seen my camel...yii yii yii....


My whole family likes silly hats.
















...and silly shoes...





My new KitchenAid. My mother spoiled me.




This is a grease saver that I plan on using for my backpacking mess kit.


I needed a basic DVD for the lab, I have lots of recorded DVDs and nothing to play them with.
Now I have something.


The book on the left is from my brother.  Its about what soldiers carred during the Vietnam war. The book on the right is from the Luddites.


My dad knows what I like.
