The original creators of General Hospital, all the way back in 1963, Frank and Doris Hursley may have been stiffed by ABC for years. Now deceased, charges were filed by their estate, (ie. their daughters) to see if they were getting taken on the deal that apparently was to pay them 10% of all profits gained from the show.
The daughters alleged that ABC has cooked their books for years and that they owe the family money. The amount they think is owed was not given, but the show which was cancelled recently will have run for 49 years when the final show is done. That’s probably a lot of dehumidifiers when they get the books opened. They want the judge to force ABC to show their record keeping.
There are only a few things we needed to get straight before the doors to the store open in a few weeks. My son and I are finally embarking on our dream and opening a high end men’s shoe store!
We still have to get the rest of the stockroom shelving in. For now all the shoeboxes are just stacked precariously on the floor! We also need to decide on a good inventory management system, but that may be a story for another day.
There’re so many things that go into opening a small business, it’s a wonder to me that anyone does this! I wanted to make sure that outside of our website, we looked very professional, so I set us up with email hosting so my son and I could each have our own business email address. This should help when we’re communicating with vendors and also when we’re setting up appointments with clients. I’m excited to get going and really start selling, but there’s a lot to do before we’re ready for that!
If it weren’t for the brilliant marketing campaign of Natalie Portman showing up in their trailers wearing only a thong (see video below), I probably would never even look at this movie. In fact, I have seen this trailer so many times it is absurd. If you watch South Park on the South Park Studios website(this is the official site so fully legal. Has almost every episode of the series in full streaming) the trailer plays during EVERY commercial break. So if you watch 3-4 episodes you will likely see this trailer no less than 12 times.
Natalie Portman has become the Queen of Hollywood it appears over the last year, and rightfully so with roles such as Nina in Black Swan. Every time we turn around we are seeing her in a new movie this year. She is awesome so this is a good thing. I’ve been a huge fan ever since seeing this (very strong language so be warned) awesome Natalie Portman Raps video from Saturday Night Live. Man that is hot .
Anyways, it appears that “Your Highness” is a stoner flick that some like and many don’t. According to MTV.com:
Some have tagged it a worthy successor to the stoner comedy legacy, one that reaches back to swords-and-sandals epics but is still very much in keeping with contemporary comedic traditions. Far more critics, though, argue that the jokes fall flat, the story is kind of a mess, and the performances — especially considering the presence of two recent Oscar nominees in Natalie Portman and James Franco — are nothing short of puzzling.
Odds are that many critics are over-blowing it as it is intended to be a stoner flick as far as I can tell. Of course, once big names get involved in movies such as this they tend to be a bit cheesy since it feels like they are out of touch. I guess I will see it regardless since it has Natalie in it, and she is wearing a thong that would pop my thule bike racks off, but I get the feeling that it will be one of those movies that doesn’t really get the feel for the jokes they are trying to use. A feeling of they “try too hard” is something I am expecting going in.
Mom always gets a present. No matter what holiday, or occassion it is. Not only Mother’s Day gifts are the ones we think of her. Be it flowers on Easter, of even Valentine’s Day, getting mother presents is always a high priority.
Mom is pretty easy to shop for thankfully, but you do try to get her something a bit unique now and then right? The easy gift for mother is to just send her some flowers, but places like RedEnvelope.com give you a bit of a better choice. It shows you actually put a little thought and time into the gift by getting mom something personalized.
