on tumblry
i saw that my tumblarity was 3 and i was all wtf? and i saw that i had a follower and i was all is it ryan? but it wasn’t, it was some bloke (or a lady? they don’t specify…) and then i read everything they’d tumbled so far and thought i should link them because, well, luke reads this and he’s a critic and should find it interesting, but also it’s just good...

starring lorenzo lamas
are, ah, are you guys aware of syfy’s* impending masterstroke, ‘mega-shark vs giant octopus’? starring lorenzo lamas? because FUCK YES. giant shark jumping out of the water to eat a 747? you cannnot beat that.
*also, syfy is totally easier to type and inherently specific, whereas scifi wasn’t. syfy is the new wii!

this web 1.5 shit, where half of your listings link to a slightly larger image of the product than the small image on the main listing, but the other half link to a zoomable flash applet? fucking crap.
first off, that flash thing is ridiculous. the bandwidth and proc requirements are going to completely overload any computer with a small enough screen resolution to require that kind of imaging...

i don’t know, i’ll have to see it on the big screen to be sure, but it doesn’t look tremendously interesting to me. the ships and weapons from halo, elves/cat people fighting ewok style, cgi landscapes that are trying too hard to replicate real earth landscapes… it’s not middle earth and it’s not terribly unique in it’s vision, so if they best...
Friday night, being read stories by my 7 y/o niece, instead of going to my ten year reunion. Tomorrow we’re going to make brownies.
avatar vs avatar
now that the teaser trailer for james cameron’s avatar is up, i can see why they waited so long to show any footage. it looks completely generic. bland, boring, unimaginative. maybe the script is terribly clever and they’ll pull through like titan ae, although that was still pretty weak? maybe there’s like a thousand wicked cool cgi shots and this all feels much more...
new stuff
found that griffin ipod nano 3gen case on clearance for $2 at freddies a couple weeks ago. translucent chrome front, rubberized back, covers the screen without obscuring it, completely open over the clickwheel. slick.
then i found it again today, at the dollar tree. (perhaps you’re familiar with their pricing structure?) so at least i didn’t pay like $20 for the first one. i...
Just /barely/ made it in time for mcbreakfast. Bacon egg & cheese mcgriddle ftw.

Ryan - I mean, it did sound like you said sexually tiny, and you know, way to get down with that, but maybe don’t need to talk about it.

Dora the Explorer (repeatedly) - we need to hurry, mi mami’s having a baby! Leilani - yes dora, we know that. Uncle Sean - don’t sass back dora, leilani. Leilani - sorry.
and scene
moved in, stuff more or less where it’s going to be for the next year or two, computer is up and online, and i’m sleeping pretty well. now it’s just hoping for my job to turn back into a job and stop just being a lot of work. but not quite enough work to get full time hours!
at least the recession seems to be turning around. and i’ve got paying rent off my back for a...
If movie theatres get all their money from popcorn and soda, why don’t they have a concessions window on the outside of the building?
I need some smoke capsules so I can always make a dramatic entrance.

Goodwill has 2010 (the year we make contact) on betamax. I may have to go back for it for ironic purposes.

I found a bmg ad from 1997, ‘12 cds for a penny’ and want to use it against the riaa in court in defense of music piracy.
