Rescue 911: Silent Intruder

Since April Fools Day is coming up, here's a great idea for a prank: set up a creepy mannequin in your hallway for one of your family members to find when they come home from work. If they're anything like this chick, they'll flip out, run to the neighbor's house and said neighbor will call 911 reporting a break in. April Fools!

See, it pays off to spend time watching Rescue 911. This show gives great tips!

Random 90s Movie Review #4: Glory Daze


Glory Daze, from 1995, is about Ben Affleck and his college roomies figuring out what they're gonna do with their lives after graduation day. Despite the fairly poor dialogue and plot progression, this had some redeeming qualities. 

#1. The soundtrack is killer; tons of 90s punk at its best. Reminded me of how I used to actually enjoy the college radio stations around here. 

#2. Bit parts played by Matthew McConaughey, Brendan Fraser, Leah Remini and Sean Whalen (one of my favorite creep character actors).

#3. Mini backpacks, tie-dye, flannel shirts (worn normally or tied around waist), baggy pants, one strap down overalls, plastic barrettes.......

#4. Ben Affleck is a total hottie, despite his Three Musketeers facial hair. If I had seen this when it was first released, I would've had a mad crush on him.



Why you should watch this movie: All the above reasons. And especially that photo directly above....

Why you shouldn't watch this movie: If French Stewart really gets your goat, steer clear of this one.

I Heart the Nineties rating: One snap up for a script that didn't quite get off the ground.

Furbies in the Night

Confession: There is a collection of Furbies at my house. That I play with. And by play with, I mean I shake them around for about five minutes until they get on my nerves and I throw them back in the guest room closet. They're in the guest room closet because I hope one will waken from its slumber while an unexpecting guest is in there trying to sleep.

Anyways, I've started recording them in case they forever die. Here are a few of my favorite Furby moments:





The one in the second video does some other extremely creepy stuff, but I haven't caught it yet to share. It's the sort of thing that can give a grown adult nightmares.
