Going out with some of the work gang tonight. Hopefully it won’t be all commiserating about the gig, but a chance to gab about other things in life.
brokensoul made a mr bun icon!
I apparently have no content for the journal today, so have a break dancing Dr. Zaius.
Warning. The Following bunny Pictures may well kill with cuteness.
I want to dress him up as a little dictator with a podium and nationalist flag in the background. View at own risk
Ouch… lost ‘net for a little bit yesterday! Pesky, I wanted to check out Herm, make sure she was doing ok.. apparently she’s a little worse for wear, but her ankle’s getting better.
I’m glad she’s mending nicely.
Moment of lyric – mp3
Supercar, Supercar,
With beauty and grace, fast as can be, watch it flying through the air.
It travels in space, or under the sea, and it can journey anywhere.
Supercar, Supercar,
It travels on land, or roams the skies, through the heavens’ mighty rage
It’s Mercury-manned, and everyone cries, “it’s the marvel of the age!”
Supercar, Supercar, Supercar!
Plus it starred a Monkey, man’s hairy little cousin.
I also dig the Pi Song. –via

Hm, you can buy episodes of lost for $1.99 on Itunes.
I wonder if this’ll make it easier or harder to torrent from other sources?

Cheered myself up with this moment of lyric – MP3
Walking down the street
with some evil in my eye
and some thoughts in my head
that were making me feel high
on my head was a hoodie
in my ears was some bass
was walking by my dog
when I saw that sexy face
come towards me
with a little cheeky smile
if she was a phone
I’d pick her up and dial
the fire brigade
or zero zero zero
she stopped me in my tracks
and I said ‘mmm hchello hchello…’
Yet another reason I keep the space in my last name.
Icelandic wordplay: vonbrigði means “disappointment”, but von brigði means “hope alteration”.
Maybe not as good as Manslaughter / Mans Laughter or Therapist / The Rapist, but that is my family’s taken name over there.
Still feeling a little mopey, and more than a little like a cave-bear. I’m really just not in the mood for interaction with loud, noisy little peeps today. Both Friday and Monday have been cranky workdays. Today would do well to change the pattern.
Usually, Autumn will lower gravity, not raise it.
Poor Herm got her ankle hurt on vacation… I hope she’s feeling better soon. Sweeties shouldn’t get owies.
A group of children, all wearing ape masks, rides their bicycles to the park for a picnic. Along the way, all but one are eliminated for violating basic bike safety rules.

Edward Everett Horton narrates. Mr. Horton provided the wonderful narration for Jay Ward’s Fractured Fairy Tales on the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, too.
Best Bike safety film, ever. I love how they keep getting killed, but the rest continue on to picnic. Nelly was cute when angry, but Filbert is my favorite demise.

makes it a lot easier to tune into science friday, certainly.
Sometimes, I feel very reclusive. I like the idea of retiring to a cave. A place with a fire, a wall to draw on, and a personal store of food by an underground spring full of fresh water. Maybe an opening at the far end where the sun can get in, but not so close that rain gets everything.
Perhaps an oceanside opening, too, and a comfortable area to curl up with the Newt-cub.
Only the sound of dripping water from distant stalactites, and maybe torches flickering, leaving a little smudge on the wall where it burns a bit too close.
If there is at least one person in your life whom you consider a close friend, and whom you would not have met without the internet, post this sentence in your journal.
Actually, I have some friends that I networked to via a net-pal, and the net-pals themselves is gone.
Age of Empires III is out and about… may be my Christmas prezzie to myself. It looks gorgeous… and I imagine the gameplay will be up to the usual high standards.
More thoughts about Wallace & Gromit… They didn’t have a bunch of science fiction fans called “the Inventive Cheese-eaters” or whatnot (though it does have it’s own fans, certainly), and I’m sure the movie will do just fine on it’s opening weekend. Fans Serenity could learn a bit from that sort of cinematic Social Darwinism… Good movies will do just fine, with or without some cult-like fan base. I really rather think the name “Browncoats” is just a smidgen too close to “Brown shirts”, too. I suspect that the Browncoats didn’t do much to get people to go see the movie.. other science fiction fans were going to check it out, because they’d already heard of it, one way or another… I figure they were preaching to the choir.
Wallace and Gromit did well, I’m sure, and it’ll surprise me if it doesn’t have better opening numbers than Serenity did.
That said, RT has W&G at – 95%… that’s a pretty fantastic rating. I know it’ll be something people will want to watch on video every Halloween with Great Pumpkin and Night of the Living Dead. I can’t say that about Nightmare before Christmas. (the closest similar popular movie I can think of)
vs. Serenity at – 81%, which is still pretty respectable, considering that most fans of the show really weren’t crazy about it… (and most non-fans that I know also didn’t dig it). I guess the Joss formula of the 80 lb super-girl is still pretty marketable. Will people want to watch it in 5 years? I imagine it’ll end up on UPN as part of the recycled Sunday sci-fi movie run, along with Ghostbusters II, because the better and more popular movies will be too expensive to syndicate. (Like Ghostbusters the first)
On a tangent – some favorite Halloween movies – Usually, I like a light opener (comedy or classic) and then actual horror after.
Just of the top of my skull.
“If you’re not with us, you’re against us” makes as just exactly as much sense as someone saying “If you’re not an apple, you’re a banana.”
hm… I won 25 prints through snapfish, but don’t use the service… anyone reading this want ’em? First come, first serve.
Nuts! I forgot all about the Hukilau! Maybe I can do a little catchup today.
HP is back in town.. I’m glad her vacation was nice, and that she made it back to her critters!
Wallace & Gromit didn’t disappoint… it was excellent, and wasn’t watered down at all. Lots forany age to enjoy, plus a number of fine nods to classic horror films to boot. Plenty of laugh out loud moments, and the opening feature with the Madagascar penguins was also excellent. The kids at the show had a great time, and there were no screaming babies or annoying cell phones.
Aside from that, walkies were composed of roaming the Aventura mall and people-watching. There is a huge population of cuties, elders, kids and tourists to eyeball, not to mention punks, thugs, goths and other pseudo-fashion trendies.
It was nice to sleep in and then go out and about mostly undisturbed.
Thought about dying a colored streak in my hair for halloween… gray, and when asked about it at work, just claiming “what I saw… I can never tell… anyone. ever.” and then shuddering, saying no more.
