How to Train Your Dragon
Go see this movie immediately.
Heck, though spending $53 on the tickets (damn 3D IMAX), I really enjoyed the movie.
Just remember, if you're a viking village in an area infested with dragons, build out of stone. -

After that, I turned on the TV to one of the ( Read more... ) -

Happy Zombie Jesus Day!
Hi all!
Let’s see… the biggest change right now is the fact that my head is lighter. I got a haircut… a rather extreme haircut.
