The Substitute
Some movie about a dysfunctional classroom of kids. And the substitute teacher who sets them right. With violence.
And Jubal Early dickstabs a bad guy. And then gets shot in the head. Sadly, no awesome last line... Because not much can top his last line in Firefly...

Today's Word Of The Day
Read
6 down, 1 to go, and then The Dark Tower series is done. But the last one's about 800 pages. It'll probably take me a while.

Today's Word Of The Day
Riposte
I think this is gonna be my new default word of the day. Especially because I had a different one, but as I mentioned earlier, I forgot it.
Also, no one noticed that I re-used the word "Manatees". Which was the first TWoTD ever.

Is it Just Me?
When I re-opened my blog to do TWoTD (which I have now forgotten), I re-read the title of my previous post quickly. And wonder what the hell I was doing talking about ATVs...

Bonus Bonus Word of the Day!
No fish on the horizon
Not sure what it means, but I think its a pretty dang good saying. That I just made up.
I think its the exact opposite to "Too many irons in the fire".

Lemurs.
Do you know why bottled water gets all crinkly when you don't drink it after a few years? Well, the bottle, not the water...
Lemurs.
Yup. Lemurs. That's why. Or that's what my brain would have you believe... Way to go, brain

The Lost Future
'10. Humanity bans together to defeat a devastating disease in a post-apocalyptic world. Starring: Sean Bean
Syfy Saturday movie from 7/13.
"Bans"? Really?
Also, needs distinctly more Sean Bean.
I was hoping for some Mad Max style post-apocalyptic world. Instead, I got some sort of caveman style post-apocalyptic world. While I do appreciate the lack of ugly dudes in S&M get-ups...
Also: Slow-th. Apparently its not pronounced Slaw-th. But instead Slow-th. Gonna have to start incorporating that into my speech.

The Perfect Storm
Finally got around to watching it...
Reinforces my thought that I have absolutely no desire to be a fisherman. Or to drive a boat into an absurdly large storm.

Disney World
If I ever buy tickets or whatever to Disney World, I'll be sorely disappointed if random Dumbo critters don't come and pick me up... Because the commercials totally strongly implied that would happen...

Today's Word Of The Day
World Champion.
The 2010 Formula 1 World Championship has been decided. The Red Bull Racing Team clinched the Constructor's championship last week. Going into today's Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, 4 drivers were mathematically capable of winning the Driver's Championship, Ferrari's (enormous cockbag) Fernando Alonso in first place, Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel in second and third respectively, and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton in 4th.
Despite being a full race win worth of points behind with 2 races in the season, and having car failure from commanding leads 3 times this season, Sebastian pulled off 2 dominating drives over the last 2 races to clinch his first World Championship, as the youngest Formula 1 World Champion ever.
Good for him.

Redundancy
Saw a license plate frame that proclaimed to be a member of the Creek River Club.
Which reminds me, if I ever build a suburban housing development, I'm gonna name it Woodsylvania Forest. Just for maximum redundancy. And ridiculosity.

Today's Word Of The Day
Phew.
Day turned out better than I thought it would. Especially on the finger front.
On the plus side, I am now completely human again. Not part robit, and not part marionette.
And I've gone from the flipper, to a gob of tape and a metal/foam thing, to a gob of tape, to just a bandaid... Things are looking up. Now only if I could actually bend that joint...
Maybe pictures soon. Because my finger tip is pretty dang awesome... Where the stitches used to be, on the top of my finger, its not all that interesting. But the finger tip... Pretty awesome...

Jackwagon.
The one good Geico commercial is the one with R. Lee Ermey as a psychiatrist. Which entails him calling the other guy a "jackwagon", and using such language as "namby pamby".
All the other Geico commercials are crap, though...

My finger
In case you wanted pictures: I've decided to give you links, just so random people browsing my blog don't need to see. Nothing too graphic, but I figure I'll give you the choice...
The end of the pin running through my finger
The other pin!

Bonus Bonus Bonus Word of the Day!
I haven't use a phrase lately.
Now I have.
Also, haven't had a BBBoTD in a while. I checked. In fact, I wasn't sure I'd ever had one before. If something else random pops into my head, I might bust out the first BBBoTD. Ever!
Wouldn't that be awesome?
Not really.

Catteries.
Seriously, phone? That's a word?
And not one I added, neither. As I can't delete it...

De-robot-ification.
I'm no longer part cyborg. But, on the plus side, I bent my finger for the first time in 4 or 5 weeks.

The Grudge 3
Matthew Knight, Shawnee Smith (2009) A doctor needs the help of a mysterious Japanese woman to combat two vengeful ghosts
Hadn't seen it before. Now I have.
Didn't particularly care for the first two. Don't particularly care for this one.
Actually, not 100% sure I even made it through the second one... I may have tried to review it a while ago. Feel free to check on that for me...
And, honestly, that's just about everything I've got to say on the subject.

Riposte
Just to disabuse my readers of the notion that I can't reuse words.
Because I probably will. There are only a finite number of words in the english language. And only a subset of those words are interesting enough for me to have as sundry different types of WoTD, whether it be TWoTD, BWoTD, BBWoTD, or, god forbid, BBBWotD (Which I haven't the foggiest clue if its ever happened. But I wouldn't put it past me).
Because all the words that I choose are truly and utterly interesting words. Yeah. Totally...

Sticker!
Its the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. You know what that means?
Yup. I go, push some buttons on a computer, commit some democracy, and get a sweet sticker that I put on the steering wheel of my car.
I'm up to 2. Mainly because I generally forget that last step in the process.
