I bought the Moulin Rouge (2001) soundtrack. The first time

I ever saw this movie was at a friend's house back when this

movie came out and it was the first time I ever saw a dvd movie.

My friend had a big screen (for that time) TV and had the player

going through a pretty large stereo system. To me it was close

to being in a movie theater.

Anyway, Ewan McGregor as Christian. I fell in love. He is.......

........ dreamy. And so gosh darn.... dreamy. When he sings

"Come What May", my heart goes pitter patt. Don't know what

else to say other then I am real happy to have "Come What May"

on my iPod now.

You don't see these guys around much anymore.

I remember seeing them made up as lumberjacks,

cowboys, plumbers and even Santa Claus back

in the day. This guy sells mufflers I guess.

On Broadway.

This is the face of my 14 inch Disney Store talking Captain

Jack Sparrow figure from the Dead Man's Chest installment
of Pirates of the Caribbean. I  have had this guy since 2007.
He is my best Capt. Jack Figure.

Just another random picture for today.

Random around the place picture.

Don Post fake arm.

I went over to Fry's Electronics.

I bought a movie on DVD called "Head Case".

It cost $2 and it probably reeks. If it ends up being good

I will update this post. If it is terrible, I won't. And it is so sad:

They had about twenty copies of "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final

Friday" (1993) DVDs on the shelf and they were marked....

.25 cents each. Ouch. I'm a huge fan and I will admit the movie

is less than stellar... but .25 cents? Jeez.

Edit, two days later. Okay, I watched the movie. For $2 totally
worth it. It was not that great, but it was just macabre enough
to keep me watching. Sometimes you can't get enough of
watching a psychopath, am I right? They are too weird.
If you find it for what I paid or less, worth a watch, but
you will only watch it one time.

I've been for six months trying to figure out which

emergency charger I should get for my cellphone/iPod.

I have been researching like crazy and asking questions

and everybody has different opinions and it is very

frustrating so I finally just dove in. Time will tell if I

made the right choice or anything close to it.

It's a little too quiet.

...and speaking of gun cleaning kits, I'm doing a little

maintenance on a Vaquero .45 Long Colt pistol today.

Mostly just putting a little oil on it and running a little

(very little) oil through the chambers and bore to help

prevent rusting.

 

 Ahhhhhh. Nice and lubricated. Not always fun to do,

but necessary and a responsibility.

Ahoy me buckos!

I've added another Zippo to my collection.

I had this one on my Amazon Wishlist for months.

It would hover around the same price, a little up,

a little (very little) down, but never low low low.

I finally just said, "The heck with it" and ordered

the lighter. I did get free shipping and a much lower

price than is marked. It's Zippo. It's pirate. It's good.

My name is Highway, but my friends call me Neglected.

Laaaa la la, la laaaa!

(A bunny I bought at the Dollar Store.)

Here in back of a bunch of other stuff is a figure I picked up

a few years ago. McFarlane's Simpsons Series 2 "Good and

Evil Homer". Doesn't everybody love Homer Simpson. Well,

I 'spect not I guess. But I do. This is a great figure.

Oh, and  Ned Flanders says, "Heidely-ho, neighbor!"

I had a five dollar coupon for Sports Authority that I

received when I joined their "club". It was set to expire

so I went over there to use it. I knew exactly what I

wanted: This Nalgene 32 oz Narrow Mouth Water Bottle.

I have others with the wide mouth and wanted this one

for different reasons. Awesome color. Makes me thirsty.

 Big Lots was close by so I went over there for the first time

in ages to check out the movie section. I ended up buying

more movies than I have in a month of Sundays.

I bought two Blu-rays: "In the Line of Fire" with Clint (I don't

even have to type his last name) and John Malkovich. John

is absolutely magnetic in this one. When it came out this

movie was getting everybody's attention because Clint was

seen to.......... cry a bit in one scene. Nobody could believe 

it, but he does (cry a little), but it is appropriate and it plays well.

The second one is called "Helldriver" and I have no idea but it

looks fun.

 I also bought a few DVDs: "The Omen" remake which is supposed

to suck, and "Martha Marcy May Marlene" I have heard for a few

years that MMMM is a pretty good thriller. Im'a gonna see.

And one more DVD for today: "The Perfect Host" starring David Hyde

Pierce who I think plays some bad guy of sorts. That I gotta see.

I saw the preview a couple of years ago and it looks good.

Edit: I watched it. Oh man, that was a goodun. So much fun.
I don't want to give it away so I will just say three things:
David Hyde Pierce. Conga line. Psychotic.
For $3 this is a kick butt movie.

After all of that I had a bacon burger at Tom's.

Unka Donald is coming in for a three point landing!

 I had been putting off buying these .22 brass and

tornado bore brushes for my gun cleaning kit for

a long time because I didn't need them that badly.

They are seven or so dollars at Walmart. But last

week it fit into the budget so I purchased them.

This is the very first gun cleaning kit I every bought. It

is a Hoppe's brand kit and I bought it on June 4th, 1985.

It doesn't snap closed anymore so I hold it together

with two big rubber bands. It ran about $7.99.

I love this kit and it has a lot of memories for me. I have

added and taken away from it over the years but the core

of the kit is still in there. I have spent a lot of time with

that there cleaning rod.

You can see stuff I have added. I prefer the plastic jags

over brass. The brass jags just feel..... harsh. And I

do not run the patches through with a slotted jag like so

many seem to do. I push them through with a regular jag.

(You needed to know.)

Several years ago I sent away for this Hoppe's Commemorative

gun cleaning kit. It is tin and embossed. Really cool. I bought

it as a gift for my son when he buys his first firearm.

So far though, he is not doing the gun thing, so the kit remains

hidden away and will be a surprise for him one day... or not.

Hoppe's (pronounced hop-eez) rules.

When you are out in practically the middle of nowhere and you

just want to get home and a tree falls bout a quarter mile up the

road blocking the heck out of it.

Another fast food safari. This time a taco from Del Taco.

Inexpensive and pretty good, as fast food goes.

I put this picture on Twitter with the caption "Without a doubt this is

the greatest selfie I have ever taken." It's not even me. Heh heh.

I love these oak trees where I live.
