Mst3k really lost a lot of oomph when Dr Forrester was totally replaced by Pearl…Just not the same vibe.

Hmm.. there’s an iPod for windows, now. Still a little expensive for a super-walkman, though… three to five bills, depending on storage. That tells me that a variant will appear in about a year for half that or less.

Now… Hubzilla, on the other hand is cute and affordable. 🙂 However, I think I could get a regular hub and gut a ‘zilla toy here for about 1/3 the price, if I wanted to go for cheap.

This made my morning. A Tribute to Ray Harryhausen. Mixed Media makes me smile. Is it wrong for me to be proud that I have a few of the introductory characters in my collection?

Nifty progress in Cancer research.

I’m looking forward to a restful, comfy weekend. This week has been a bit of a grind. I’ve put in for having a long Halloween break, too. The 31st, and 11/1 off.

Hey! Someone made a Newton Screensaver. That’s not my Buddy, though it is an orange tabby.

psychic flower... it can read your mind.. But it won't. It respects your privacy. He's not really an amputee... I just didn't draw his arms and legs. bus driverRed Dog, the pir8 guy! Let me see if I have Riker's Kazaa letter...Riker at work got an email today, regarding his Internet account, Kazaa, and Goldmember… nope, not cc:ed to me yet. I’ll post it tomorrow.

The long and the short of it is that they saw him with Goldmember shared on his computer, and they’re going to press charges for illegal distro of copy written goods. Sent such a scare, that kazaa is verboten at our workplace. Ah well… I’ll still do it from home. I just grab mst3k and cartoons these days, anyhow. Yikes! I still have to burn some CDs, typing of which.

Dream last night of a neighbor coming over, complaining about my reading lamp being to bright, and burning his eyes. I was nice, and apologized, even though I couldn’t see where the light would get out.

Bought a fresh batch of Newt food this evening…and got myself some junk. chocolate-cookie crunch tofutti. yumitty-yum! Strange to see an ingredient “cookies”.

I think I’m ready for a little snack. Nigh nigh, dear journal!

5 venoms I got myself a treat today from Kmart… Five Deadly Venoms, one of the few that I saw in the theatre when I was living in Richmond.

A kung fu DVD (for $3!!) I love the Kmart discount bin… I’m going to treat myself to maybe a dozen more of these. I’d have bought this one for $20.

the DVD is *nothing* special, techwise… a direct video (fair quality) to DVD copy, but for three bucks, you can’t go wrong. but back when I was 8 years old, this theater would have kung-fu Saturdays that I would go to with my brother, father, and Bill Brunot, a good friend of the family. (I think that’s where my tradition of sneaking food into the theatre started too… PB&J, with a thermos of kool-aid, Dad and Bill snuck beer in.) There’d be a double shot of chop-socky… and then we’d all go goof off at Bill’s house, usually playing ping pong or bumper pool. Back in the day… good times. I miss them a lot sometimes. Nostalgia is like that.

I saw Flying guillotine there, too, but I budgeted tightly, and honestly didn’t have $3 extra to pick it up. (I prefer to do dealings in cash.) There were like 10 copies, so I think I’m safe. Next weekend, I’ll grab a nice pile of them. heck, I think there were only 7 or so different ones. there. one of each will do fine for about $20. 🙂

I love having a dvd player in my laptop! watch bad movies, chat, and program in VB all at the same time!

Doc!

quoted from Oct 16th at ign.filmforce.com

The Terminator himself, “Ahnuld,” recently dished the latest 411 in a Los Angeles Times interview. Schwarzenegger says that he’s currently shooting an action-thriller in Mexico called Collateral Damage, in which he plays a federal officer seeking revenge upon terrorists who murdered his family. Arnie went on to confirm that he will begin work in March on Terminator 3, in which he will battle a female android to the death. After that, he’s hoping to bring the comic-book hero “Doc Savage” to the big screen. He compares the script by Frank Darabont (one of several writers on the project) to Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Groovy! Make that #6!

I went to see Dr. T and the Women (which *really* sounds like a ’70s porno movie to me) Wow. What a tragic, horrible, evil bunch of people. I could only sympathize with one character… the rest were so colossally screwed up in the head that it made me dizzy. But that was the total attraction of the movie! A total social train-wreck, it raised my sense of uncomfortableness (uh, is that a word? well, it is now. ) to great heights. Scary representation of people, women of the south in particular. Amazing shots in the ob/gyn office, especially… pretty true to life, judging on the few times I’ve been there. (Not for myself, sillies.)

This Entry brought to you in Hypno-vision!

Went to see the ladies’ man… and I found it entertaining. Some unusual cameos, and Billie Dee Williams is still smooth as silk. I want him to be my narrative bartender. The crossdressing part in the preview was nowhere to be seen… and I’m glad that Hillary form fresh prince aged so well.

Now I’m in, and enjoying a good surf. 555-1212.com is pretty neato, the reverse lookups are very functional and quite useful, when combined with the whois server. I can find the home or business address of just about anyone with a website. 🙂 I bet a lot of folks can get stalked that way… so be nice.

Why Bears?

Leave a comment

From Ghost dog….

Bears

A solitary animal, adaptable to all climates, terrain, and food. In groups will share food in abundance, and is a formidable adversary despite a lack of predatory instincts. If he or his group is injured or threatened, he will fight and kill with great ferocity, but is generally a peaceful, docile creature. In ancient cultures, bears were considered equals to men.

I imagine I’ve finally arrived! I got my first rude anonymous post! (two, actually!) I’m amazed it’d taken as long as it had…

On another note, welcome sanssouci and everyone else who has recently linked to me. 🙂

Saw PSycho Beach Party with my little brother today, had a fun time with him, all told. I recommend PSB to anyone.

The scary thing is that we have a girl at work that is a spitting image of Lauren Ambrose. And she loves Dharma and Greg. 🙂 (Lauren and the Greg guy are both in the film.)

this just in. (this is a true-fact… not a scotto-sillie) From Salon.

Oct. 8, 2000 | LOS ANGELES — The actress who played “Fonzie’s” girlfriend on television’s “Happy Days” has admitted she violated probation when she hit her ex-boyfriend with a cane.

Roz Kelly, 58, who played Pinky Tuscadero opposite actor Henry Winkler in the long-running comedy, faces up to two years in prison for the violation, prosecutors said Friday.

Kelly was sentenced to three years probation last year after she pleaded no contest to charges she fired a shotgun at two cars and into a home. She was ordered to undergo psychiatric counseling for what her attorneys said was a bipolar disorder.

She was arrested Aug. 20 after her former boyfriend told police she hit him on the head.

I’m still here. Here, being work, and I, being me.

got the data, and it took longer to fold, spindle and mutilate to my liking, so I’m really just getting started now.

I estimate another two or three hours until completion.

tomorrow and this weekend I will beachwalk and forget my troubles and cares for a while.

Also, will see the new ben stiller movie, and get carter.

well, at least one of ’em.

very much enjoying the perpetual thread thing with ldy. can’t find the pointer, but look in her journal, and pick the thing that doubtless has over 100 posts in it. 🙂

Kat’s like #15 in all of honking Yahoo (approx 100000 players) for playing gin, and she’s still going up the ladder! hoodyhoo!
