So, you’re probably wondering where I’ve been, right?
The short answer is that I’ve been in Zanzibar enjoying an overly-long weekend on Prison Island due to a serious misunderstanding with the Local Authorities about my identity. Geeeeeeeze. I don’t understand why this kind of stuff keeps happening to me, but all I’ll say for the moment is that it’s nice to bee home.
I just got back, just a little while ago. I’d still bee in Zanzibar, but fortunately I was lucky enough to run into an old friend, Red Eye (who owns and operates W.T.F. Airways) and was able to grab the last Pre-First-Class Luxury Cabin Seat on the last flight out of the country.
It’s probably worth mentioning that the in-flight movie was “Sharknado 3”. I gotta tell ya’: it’s even better than the first one, so I highly recommend that to anyone who enjoyed the first one (or the second one, which I still haven’t seen but want to). Fortunately, WTF Airways is famous for Never-On-Time Arrivals (Red Eye decided to make a detour to Thailand on the way back home, so that meant I got to watch Sharknado 3 about 15 times, which was a bonus.) But at least we finally made it back home, though they still haven't found my luggage - or my carry-on bag for that matter.
You’re probably also wondering why I was in Zanzibar in the first place, right? Fine. Well, I’ll tell you.
As you already know, I take my job as a Human Movie & TV Critic very seriously. I always make a point of actually watching whatever movie I’m reviewing (most of it, anyway), I am careful to wear an UN-bent beret while I’m writing my reviews (and make sure I have the appropriate Festive Beverage with a bendy straw and the necessary umbrella), and I make every effort to bee sure my reviews are second-to-none.
But sometime last week, as I was trying to decide which movie to review next, I thought, “A truly dedicated movie reviewer would take the time to research the background of that movie by actually GOING to wherever it is that movie was filmed.” I knew that could only help me understand the movie better, but would just add to my enjoyment of the movie and beeing able to say stuff like, “Hey! I was there!” or, “There! I had lunch on the limb of that tree right there!” as I watched it. And that’s always cool to bee able to do that.
Knowing that the next movie I was going to review takes place in Africa, what else could I do but go to Africa.
So I did that.
It’s what happened after I got there that things kinda’ didn’t work out exactly the way I’d planned … and I’d love to tell you about that, but you’re gonna hafta’ wait until tomorrow. Someone’s at the door.
I hope everybody has a magnificently splendid day!
I’ll see ya’ tomorrow!
