High School USA and Vacation Time TV

Horrible movie, nearly unwatchable even for a Nancy McKeon fan. BUT it did have an unexpected surprise. Bob Denver (you know, Gilligan) plays the father of an outcast. Denver buys a new sports car, a 1979 Gold TA. Michael J. Fox decides that he is going to race that car against Anthony Edwards' (the prototypical 80s preppie HS snob/bad guy) Porsche.

Unfortunately the race never happens as Edwards' groupies derail the plan and the TA ends up "totalled". *That* was painful to watch, but probably not as painful as the whole movie. Or then again, maybe it was.

During the holiday break Noah was sick, and so we spent a LOT of time inside. Not to mention it finally decided to rain in Georgia, which doubled our stir-craziness. SPEED TV was running the 2007 Barrett-Jackson auction for several days in a row, and I was totally glued. If only they didn't go to commercial break every time a Pontiac came up!

Sigh. I'll be in Arizona for the Super Bowl only 10 days after the 2008 auction in Scottsdale. Damn!
