R.I.P Peter Boyle

Dang, this is a shame. He was only in his early seventies. I watch reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond on weeknights and Frank was pretty much my favorite character (not to mention the only character on that show that didn't bug the crap out of me). I also loved his turn in The X-Files' "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" as a down on his luck pre-cog who could foresee people's deaths. That was one of my favorite X-Files episodes ever and one of the best guest roles the series has ever had. I'm really sad that he died. I hope he rests in peace.

Lesse, today I went out with my dad. I picked up Christmas presents for Melissa, Bill and my Mom. I also went to the comic book shop and picked up some recent Angel and Spike comics, the second issue of Gargoyles, the final Donald Duck Adventures, the one shot "Mickey Mouse and Blotman in Blotman Returns" and the latest issue of Justice League Unlimited. My comic book guy accidentally gave me the latest issue of The Batman Strikes instead of Teen Titans Go. Hopefully I'll like it.

The DVD of Mickey's Christmas Carol came in the mail and I picked up three plushies at the Disney store: a small Todd and a small Copper from The Fox and the Hound and a Snow White rag doll.

My mom has a hard time using the computer and figuring out technical things since her brain aneurysm thirty years ago. I helped her use the WordPad program so she can type letters on the computer without losing them. I'm glad she is starting to figure it out.

I'm tired. I'll think I'll watch my bubble volcano.

That was a great X-Files. Every now and then, I get Chantilly Lace in my head, and think of Peter Boyle in that episode.

He was also good in Taxi Driver, and The Candidate. It was weird seeing him so much younger. And with a beard.

But his greatest performance was in Young Frankenstein. Classic.

I saw half of that movie when I was younger. I really need to see the whole thing. It was funny.
