Say Woot?

Every Friday, I play tennis with three other ladies, and our coach, Mark. I missed because I was at Blissdom. Then, last week everyone canceled with travel plans:(

Then I got a text from Maureen: "I'm in town...still want to play?"

I texted back: "Heck yeah...I'll text Mark and let him know we're in!"

I texted Mark: "Hey, Maureen and I are in town...you in for tennis?"

He texted me: "Yep...see you there!"

So I texted him: "Woot!"

I got to tennis that day, and it turned out everyone's travel plans had been canceled so we had a full group with Coach Mark. When the lesson was over...

Mark looked at me and said: "Hey Cyn, I meant to ask you...What does "Woot" mean, was that a texto?"

I looked at him and said: "Woot...you know woot woot."

He looked at me like I was a martian and said: "?"

I asked the rest of the group and everyone gave me the "?" look.

Help me out folks...I'm not a martian am I? "woot woot" it means "yeah" or "right on" or "yay team"...right? I didn't just make this up...I know I didn't:/

On a completely unrelated note...Everyone turn towards Vancouver, and give a big wave to The Bro....(wave everyone..."Hi Bro.")

The Bro is working The Olympics, and he gave me a big finger wagging because I "wasn't blogging The Olympics". (Give me a break...so far at that time all that had happened was the opening ceremonies.)

Well...let's all give The Bro a big finger wagging for not getting me tickets to the closing ceremonies...(everyone..."finger wag")

Now...let's give him another finger wagging for not getting me tickets for The Emmy's...(everyone..."finger wag")

Now...let's tell The Bro he can make it up to me by working The Oscars and getting me tickets...(I'm not asking for too much here...am I;) )

Thank you Bro...that is all:)

Another Movie!?!

What...you saw another movie!?! Yes, Sissy and I schlepped downtown and saw another movie. What movie, you ask? The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor...yes, The Mummy! I know, not deep, but still fine holiday fun in my book. There is one spoiler in here, as usual, I will type it in white...if you need to know, highlight.
You get what you pay for with this one. Fun CGI, lots of action, not much plot, and no depth whatsoever. That aside, I enjoyed it, for what it was. As long as you can get past totally cheesey lines like "The Yeti will help." or "The yak, yakked!" or "Your butt's on fire!" it isn't so bad. I can't believe that the actors could deliver their lines with a straight face!Granted, there is no plot, but I thought they missed the mark completely with the ending. You have a two thousand year love triangle between the Emperor, the General, and the Witch. The Witch dies taking the magic sword from the Emperor...Seems to me, the General should take the sword from his dying love (who he hasn't seen in oh, two thousand years) and kill the Emperor (who killed him, btw). I don't know seems like a pretty good ending to me! Ah well, they didn't ask me, and they have the wrong ending! If you're bored, go see it, if not, it's a rental.
On a totally unrelated front...The Bro made it to Beijing! For those of you who don't know, my Bro is part of the press core for The Olympics. I set up a blog for him, (they're working him pretty hard, so I don't know how much he can update) but go check it out...tell him Nap Warden sent you:)
