Enthusiastically Ambiverted Hopepunk
Michael Hanscom I’ve been promising to do this ever since I made my Belinda rocks! post — and since that was back in late November, it’s probably about time I actually did it, huh?
Anyway, GreenEyes rocks too ! Another instant celebrity, courtesy of lil’ ol’ me!
Never let it be said that I won’t whore myself out for attention.
It’s kind of a slow Saturday today, so Candice and I rented a couple movies to kill the day with. She’s working on homework while I watch the flicks, and the first one I checked out was Evolution.
David Duchovny and Orlando Jones star as a couple scientists/college professors who discover the crash of a metor in Arizona. The metor has punched through the surface into an underground cavern, and it brings a surprise package along with it — alien organisms that are able to evolve at a super-fast rate, letting them adapt to our atmosphere and threaten to overrun the natural life on the planet.
About three out of five on this one — cute, but it could have been so much better.
…the Yahoo profile for dj_woody_on_lsd is not — I repeat — not me. ;)
I stumbled across this little exchange today, that sounds extremely famliar from a long time ago….
Wanna buy a duck?
A what?
A duck!
Does it quack?
Of course it quacks, it’s a duck!
For the life of me, though, I can’t pin down where in the world it comes from. Doing a Google search doesn’t help much either — it pops up around the ‘net, but never attributed to any one thing, always just listed as an ‘in joke’ or as a party game or some such.
Anyone else remember this, or have any idea what it’s from? It’s stuck in my head and driving me mildly batty….
So last night was the first new episode of Enterprise, Silent Enemy.
When Enterprise is attacked by an unidentified enemy ship, the crew must work frantically to get their new phase cannons to operate. Meanwhile, Archer realizes that no one knows Reed well enough to give him a personalized birthday gift.
My take on the episode — extremely uneven. Overall I’d give it probably around 3 out of 5, but the show could have been much better.
Okay — if you’re reading this, you may (or may have not) noticed that for some reason, my website is responding incredibly slowly at the moment. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to figure out just why this is happening yet. Things were working fine earlier tonight, but when I came back to my computers after watching Enterprise, something’s obviously going on — some pages are taking as long as a minute to load, when it should be nearly instantaneous.
I’m banging my head against things right now to try and figure out what’s going on, but so far have yet to come up with any solid ideas or leads. Hopefully it’s just a temporary thing, but I really have no way of knowing whether it will be or not. I’m just kinda lost and flying blind at the moment…(sigh)…grrrr. Bleah. Pfutz.
Now here’s a headline that I don’t think I could have made up if I tried — ‘Jesus Charged With Bail Jumping, Intimidating Witness’!
I’m slowly but surely getting all the old posts that disappeared when I borked things up put back in. It’s kind of slow going, since I’ve got to do it mostly by hand (at least I can cut and paste the HTML — if all I could do was re-type it, there’s no way it would get done), but so far I’ve got the Featured Posts working again, and all posts from today back through December ’01 back in. It’s a start, at least.
Clearly he failed to reckon with an attention span deficit so profound it makes even a roomful of espresso-torqued toddlers with power tools seem focused by comparison.
All we may say is, that the more purely an aesthete a man is, the more likely he is to prefer cats; since the superior grace, beauty, manners and neatness of the cat cannot but conquer the fancy of any impartial observer emancipated from mundane and ethical illusions.
