Goonies Question
Last night I found out that my brother's girlfriend has never seen The Goonies. She said she hasn't seen anything from before she was born in 1985. That is a bit fishy because The Goonies came out in June 1985. She may have been born after June. Not that it matters...
Then I found out that a woman I work with has never seen it either! Incon(th)eivable! (to quote a different movie)
Anyway, here's my question. Do you think it's possible for a grown adult person to watch The Goonies for the first time and enjoy it? I love the movie, but I grew up with it. I'm thinking that an adult might find it extremely cheesey and stupid.
These people must watch it though, just so they get the pop culture references and the various quotes that people say. Rock-ee road? Chunk? Hey you guuuuuuuys!

Arizona – Trip 2
I'm in Arizona again. I came out here Friday night and I am going home today (Monday). I called in sick today, cough cough. I fly out of here around 2 or 3. Something like that.
I am writing this from my old job's Chandler office. I got to see everyone in their "new" work environment. It's very quiet in here. It's almost as if there isn't anyone else here. I hear various mouse clicking so I know there are others here. It's all so business like. Henry has jury duty so I did not get to see him. I can picture him sitting in the jury box rubbing his head and hopping up and down in his seat. I did get to see Mon who I haven't seen in years, and met some people whose names I recognized. Martin claims that I am legendary here. I don't know why though.
During this trip, we went for an hour and half drive throught he mountains, stopped at Dairy Queen, and then turned around and came back. I went to dinner at the Roaring Fork with Webby, Pere, and Lisa. Henry, Martin, and Eileen were supposed to come but forgot. It was really good. They are famous for their green chili mac and cheese so I got it. It was really good and had a mild kick. I had a really good time at dinner, and had a huckleberry mararita. It was very tart but good. I liked the atmopshere there too. It made me feel like I was at the Wilderness Lodge in DisneyWorld.
Webby and Pere recommended that we see the Pima Air and Space Museum, so we did that Sunday. It was pretty cool. We took the tram tour around the grounds. About a quarter of the way through the tour the tram got a flat tire, and the tour guide had to walk back to the hangar to get a different tram. There were so many weirdos on our tour, which gave me something else to look at. Definitely interesting. We took a scenic route home from Pima, which took us up throught the mountains and on a dirt road. We were going to go to the drive-in, because I haven't been to one in a long time, but by the time we ate dinner it was too late. I was going to go swimming but I was too tired. My body was telling me that it's three hours later then what it was!
Henry just showed up. They didn't pick him to be a juror.
I'm headed off to lunch and then to the airport. I finagled my tickets so that I can fly First Class home. Nice! On the way out here I got an exit row seat (the one without a seat in front of me), and the people next to me got up and moved when they closed the door. I had the whole row to myself! It was really nice. I laid down and made myself as comfortable as I possibly could.
I watched the last two Lost epiosdes, and last week's BSG on the flight out here. After that my Ipod was almost dead! WTF! I thought they lasted DAYS on one charge! (I guess that's if you are playing music). I have a ton of stuff to watch on the way home, and my Ipod better not die or I will be pissed! I might have to READ or, God forbid, sit quietly with my thoughts!
Anyway, it's about time for me to go. Thank you to Jeff for "letting" me use his pc while he was out of the office. I swear I didn't screw it up too much. Tell him to call 5555 for help!
When I get home I have to write about The Broad Street Run last Sunday. I keep forgetting to. It's pretty funny.
