Scooter News :(

Scooter has been losing a little bit of weight — mostly eating a bit less. But otherwise, she has been behaving normally. Just this morning she jumped up on the table and had a try at my breakfast — something she normally does. She still jumps all over, and is generally active and cantankerous. Her […]

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince (SPOILERS)

This post (and subsequent comments) has many spoilers.  If you haven’t read the book, STOP READING NOW! Yeah, so I got it Saturday*and started reading all 652 pages of it that evening. I got the last little bit today, right after work. I found one irritating as hell typo “site” instead of “sight” on page […]

Predictions for Potter in the Deathly Hallows

In a previous post, I gave my theory of Dumbledore, but numb-nuts couldn’t find it, so I’ll put the link here. He was put out that I hadn’t given my theory of what’s happening in the final book. We will hear from Dumbledore in some form (see previous post) Hagrid will die. He’s the big […]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I saw Harry Potter’s fifth instalment, the Order of the Phoenix today. I actually went over to the west coast to see it with Jace and Grant. This has become our tradition of sorts. Enjoyable time with Jace and Grant. We started with some fine dining at Perkins — well, it’s not fine dining but […]

Transformers, The Michael Bay Vision

I must offer up a disclaimer of sorts: first, I was not a lover of the original cartoon, nor did I hate it. I was indifferent and thought it was sort of silly, though the toys were cool. Way cool. I am also not a fan of Michael Bay, he who cannot hold a camera […]

Ratatouille Really Rocks

Ratatouille really rocks. This rodent tale, written and directed by Brad Bird of Incredibles fame, is one powerful film. When I first saw the previews, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t interested. I thought it was going to be the worst of the Pixar lot (Cars currently holds that honour in my opinion). Instead, I have […]

Bush is a Liar and hypocrite. Proof.

When you say one thing and then say another statement which contradicts your first one, that makes you a liar. Bush is a liar. He’s a rat bastard too, but that’s my personal opinion. ACTION ONE:If there’s a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. If the person has violated […]

The Last of Photos For Now

Today I have posted the last 12 photos on my Flickr account. In a previous post, I explained the project. Again, I encourage you to add any comments/notes to the photos if you remember something that I didn’t, especially when it comes to identifying people. If it became a group project, that would be fine, […]

Appleism (Apple Becomes a Religion)

I use StumpleUpon regularly, and it dropped me into a blog which has a fascinating post. I’m sorry it took me so long to blog it, but here it is. David Kuo writes a rather interesting piece entitled “Welcome to Appleism, the religion that is Apple.” I don’t want to spoil it all here without […]

Yippee Kai Yay, Mother Fucker

Yes, John McClane is back as played by Bruce Willis. The new film Live Free or Die Hard is now out — though the name is somewhat misleading as to the content of the film. I went in figuring the film would be okay, but that I wouldn’t really enjoy it because the franchise is […]
