So, ivyriver and I went to see Good Luck Chuck today... instead, we saw Resident Evil: Extinction had been released and was playing. Since, if you didn't know before, I find the original Resident Evil games to be the epitome of all that is good and right with survival horror themed zombie games and, further, I enjoy movies that start with naked Milla ( Read more... )

Interestingly, tonight SciFi is showing Highlander: The Source while another station (TBS, or a local) is showing the original 1982 Mortal Kombat.

In flipping between the two, I can say... Christopher Lambert > Adrian Paul . Mortal Kombat > Highlander: The Source.

I tell you, someone needs to go back in time and kill every person in the cast of ( Read more... )

I'm in somewhat of a strange place right now. I've actually seen WWE Monday Night Raw two weeks in a row. Completely by accident; I just couldn't find anything more worthwhile to watch.

Hola. While I know there are millions of loyal blog-scribers that read my ramblings (HAH) I figured I should update at least because a few things are going on with me. On the plus side, I saw an Ear, Throat, Nose doctor who came up with a possible cause for the vertigo that's been bothering me from time to time for the last 16 years or so. I don't ( Read more... )

I was just reading an article at the BBC about the swirling pottermania. In reading that, I thought to myself... most of us can't be that different. Or at least, there is one thing that a great many people in many many different places have in common. I haven't read any of the Potter books, so I can't comment on the literary quality of the story.

Well, the title is a bit leading... When I got home from work today, I was going through my normal routine. ivyriver asked if I knew what was making noise in our back yard. It sounded a lot like a bird (a jay or even some of the other birds) so I didn't pay a lot of attention to it. About 5 minutes later, the puppy is outside and barking/whining like the ( Read more... )

So, I got to feeling a little nostalgic about an era of my life that is only vaguely memorable to me. I was listening to an audio cassette tape (remember those? wow, magnetic tapes!) of music someone sent me over 15 years ago. Actually, it may have been about 17 years ago, or so. Back when I was still in high school, and was new to online ( Read more... )

So, reading this which is about a Senator wanting an import "czar"... I had the following thought.

If we keep this up, the Bolsheviks will make a come back.
