Dying, Pukin' and reviewing movies.
"Cashin' Satan's checks with my dick in my hand!"
Man, was my ass kicked yesterday. Woke up with the most severe sinus pressure I've ever had. It felt like my head was being sucked into itself. The pressure was so great that I could feel two indentions at the base of my skull where the skin was sunken in. I've never had a headache that bad before and I'll admit, it scared the shit out of me. Usually, when I have bad headaches, I go and take a hot shower and let the water run over my head. Good plan eh? Well, I get in the shower yesterday morning and no hot water! Dammit.
Luckily, the wife is a mechanical genius and was able to find the reset switch on the water heater. Bad thing was, I was going to have to wait an hour for hot water. Luckily, again, that my wife is a wonderful loving woman because she took some rags, wet them and warmed them in the microwave and placed them on my head. She kept switching rags every 10 minutes or so. She was so sweet. I thought I was going to die, honestly. Finally, about 10:00, I lumber into the bathroom, after my second shower, and blow some serious chunks. I mean serious. I think I got a replay of everything I had eaten in the past 24 hours. But, I felt tons better after that, and here I am today to share it with you. Don't you feel special? Well, you damn well should.
The day wasn't wasted, though, I did get some work done from home, which can only help to show my boss that I can do work from home. I was also able to unlock some more tracks and more characters for Demonchild in his "Looney Tunes Racing" game. I had unlocked 75% of the stuff, but he accidentally saved over it all so I have to go through and redo it all again. It's not that big a deal, though. We also raced each other and he got the chance to tell everyone that he beat his old man. Of course, I let him win, but don't tell him that, ever.
Kind of funny, I beat him the first two races out of 7 events and he was like, "Well, I didn't win." and I felt kind of bad. Then, the next event, he actually kicked my ass, without my help, and he smiled, looked right at me and said, "Aww, too bad, daddy." Smart ass little kid. Heh. He's going to grow up to me just like his papa 'Bear. God help us all.
Watched a pretty good movie last night. "Battlefield Earth". Yes, I know, the critics shit all over it, but, like I've said before, those are usually the types of movies I like. I thought it was an entertaining, fun movie. I only had one problem with the whole thing. In the movie, it's the year 3000 and mankind has been a slave to the Psychlos for 1000 years. Anyone who isn't a slave has pretty much reverted to a cave-man type of status. They speak coherent english, but can't read or write. And yet, they expect you to believe that a group of these men, warriors, were able to learn to fly Harriers in 14 days just by using a simulator found at an old Air Force base. I don't think so. Maybe a regular airplane, sure, once you have the basic controls and concepts down, it's not that difficult, but a jet? No way. And a Harrier on top of that? Vectored thrust? Nope, can't suspend my disbelief quite that far, baby. Not gonna happen. I still liked the movie though, so I'd give it 3½ stars out of 5.
Gotta give a big shout out to my man Uberhamster, baby! MST3K rocks the nutsak hard, man. I always love finding another MSTie out there in the "real world". I too taped every episode I could catch of that wonderful show. My favorite character was the robot Tom Servo, but I like them all. Unfortunately, my collection was taped on already worn tapes so the quality is really rather lacking, but hey, they're still worth watching. I like the older stuff better, with Joel, but Mike did an ok job too. If I had to pick a favorite episode, I would have to say it is "The Day the Earth Froze", which I have on tape. It's a story taken from the Finnish Kalevala about a witch who kidnaps a blacksmith's daughter in order to force him to create a "Sampo". A mystical "machine" that is an endless source, of Gold, Salt, and Grain. Guess they were big on salt in Finland back in those days. Anyway, it's one of the MST'ers better episodes, I must say. And, yes, I to remember seeing a lot of the movies they joke on, before they got MSTied and enjoying them. Such is life.
Well, I didn't really have anything meaningful to say today, so I guess I'll just stop here. Oh, I do have one thing to say. Go sign my analyzer or sign my guestbook ya bastiches! Let the 'Bear know you love him, ok? It'll only take a few minutes of your time and I'll appreciate it forever. I swear. So, go do it, before I'm forced to get nasty. Yeah, like you're really scared. Anyway, do it for me. Cuz the 'Bear loves ya'll.
