Alliteration.
Back in college, I would put a Dream Theater concert DVD into the stereo and do the dishes.
But, I've been on a Pink Floyd kick for quite some time now, and really needed to do the dishes. I thought my alliterative activity was at an end, but then I realized that Dishes and David Gilmour had almost the same ring to it as Dishes and Dream Theater.
Success!

Stargate Universe
Also Sprach Zarathustra.
The one character says that people don't recognize the piece of music by its name, but only by its relatively famous use.
So, I'm asking my faithful readers: Given those three words, would you know what piece of music we're talking about?

Well, Telford did return. FYI.
Also, French Stewart has really grown up. Almost didn't recognize him

Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern
"And as somebody who's had just about every single animal's balls cross his lips at some point, rooster is some of my absolute favorite."
"Don't lose the penis on the fork".
"Because when it comes to placenta, you don't want to miss a drop."
Thanks for those, Mr. Zimmern. That man is a quote machine...

This review would have been definitely improved if I'd actually paid attention.

Telford Lives!
He has already showed up in the previews for next episode. So, looks like I was correct.
And looks like the writers are pretty damn predictable.

They killed off Telford. Again.
Something tells me he's not actually dead. Because he's been as good as dead a whole mess of times already, and its only about halfway through the second season.

This show, along with Burn Notice do product placement in the most awesomely obvious way ever.

Battle of Los Angeles
'11. Humans band together to fight an extraterrestrial invasion. Starring: Kel Mitchell, Nia Peeples. Director: Mark Atkins
Syfy Saturday movie from this past Saturday. Also made by The Asylum! Yay!
Oh, and in case you were wondering, this isn't the movie that just came out with Aaron Eckhart. That one's Battle: Los Angeles. I can understand the confusion.
I think I've seen this one before. Fighter pilot goes up against 2 mile wide alien spacecraft with central beam weapon hovering over a city.
If this fighter pilot survives the initial scene, becomes black, and uses the phrase "Aw, Hell NAW", then I'll be certain.
And for some reason, it takes the aliens launching smaller fighter things for people to panic, rather than when the ship initially fired its beam weapon at the city.
Also, apparently the Air National Guard has the crappiest air base in the history of time.
Also, this guy looks suspiciously like Zach Braff. Although he distinctly isn't. And we have been subjected to a 5 minute scene that is approximately 5 minutes, discussing one of the characters' apparent cowardice, with someone who's trying far too hard to be R. Lee Ermey. And for some reason he has a "service revolver", which is a Single Action Army. Which you might recognize as the Colt "Peacemaker" cowboy pistol. But, on the plus side, Faux Lee Ermey has been blowed up.And I was hoping that Fighter Pilot Braff had, too, but he seemed to survive. Based on the fact that he is on screen right now, flying his plane. Aw. dammit. Faux Lee Ermey survived, too...
And now a Chance Vought F4U Corsair just landed. That's a WWII fighter. So, it looks like we're gonna have some time traveling wackiness to contend with. Although, I'm not complaining, as The F4U is a quite attractive airplane. And rather unique looking one one, with the inverted gull wings...
Also, why is the Air National Guard wearing helmets with Desert MARPAT covers, to go with their woodland BDUs.
Braff may have been possessed by aliens, and may or may not be dead. I'm not 100% sure. I was busy making dinner. But I do know that Colonel Moustache is dead.
Also, apparently time travelers from the 1940s over-act like fiends.
And apparently the Air National Guard makes some really sturdy F16s. One can eject out of them, and have them crash land into a ruined building, and they'll still look mostly intact. Or maybe The Asylum just couldn't afford a different CG model. Also, in addition to ridiculously sturdy fighters, the ANG seems to issue their pilots Desert Eagles as sidearms. Because they're probably the best suited... Yeah totally...
And now there's a ninja woman. Totally did not see that one coming...
And Faux Lee Ermey managed to shoot down 2 alien fighters. One with his Single Action Army, and one with the first fighter's gun. And then the second one crashed into him. So I guess we're done with him.
Turns out the fighter pilot and the black guy are different characters in this movie. Thus far, neither has uttered the required phrase.
Also, had i not been making dinner, I would have made my prediction of the time traveler (who actually was just a prisoner on the alien ship) was actually in league with the aliens. And had I actually gotten around to writing that, I would have seemed awfully prescient.

Predator
I turned on the TV, and this was on.
And within 10 seconds, I (along with the female character in the movie) was implored to "GET TO THE CHOPPA!"
I feel that's the only part of this movie that I actually need to watch.
Perfect timing!

Area 51
'11. Terror strikes when reporters visit a secret base that houses extraterrestrials. Starring: Bruce Boxleitner, John Shea, Jason London. Director: Jason Connery.
Syfy Saturday movie from 2/26.
This movie has a completely ridiculous premise. Letting reporters have access to stupidly secret information, while they're apparently running on a "skeleton crew".
Also, that is the fakest looking Ma Deuce in the background... Pretty sure that .50 caliber machine guns need triggers in order to be effective.
Apparently all of the aliens in Area 51 agree with me. Because they're all revolting and stuff. As in the act of revolting. Not the property of being fuck ugly.
Also, if you're ever infiltrating Area 51, don't hide in the ceiling. Because it would appear that the stock response of the security forces to any sort of danger is to shoot blindly at the ceiling.
And it would now appear that Col. Bruce Boxleitner has decided to embrace his inner Bradley Manning.
And then, somehow, reporter dude got aliened. Which apparently is not a made-up word.
And then stuff blowed up. And then I stopped caring.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
'08. . Starring: Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer. Director: Eric Darnell.
So, when Alex is leaving the reservation to got free up the water, or whatever he's suppose to do, the main concern of one of the Zebras is that "they might get your hat".
Also, Alec Baldwin Lion refers to Alex as the prodigal lion/son returning. But he had no particular reason to believe that Alex has been wasteful in any way. I guess he just subscribes to the common thought that "prodigal" means "lost", and not its actual definition of "wasteful".

End.
Aside from about a month total, I've worked for one guy at work, the entire time I've been there.
Until today. As he has decided it was time to move on to different things...

Concerts!
May 22: Symphony X.
Last time these guys came around, I was moving, and thus had to miss it. Russell Allen has, in my opinion, one of the best voices in metal music. And the rest of the band is pretty damn good, too.
May 24: An Evening with Neal Morse and Testimony 2 featuring Mike Portnoy
If Testimony 2 is anywhere near as powerful an album as Testimony, should be a good show. However, I'm still not sure what Testimony 2 is going to be about, as Testimony was basically an autobiographical piece about Neal Morse and his faith. But, should be a good concert. Not as high on my priority list as Symphony X, but still should be a good show.

The Thomas Crown Affair
'99. A billionaire becomes a suspect in an art theft. Starring: Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo, Denis leary, Ben Gazzara, Frankie Faison, Fritz Weaver. Director: John McTiernan.
This movie involves actually paying attention. Which I'm not prepared to do right now.
But, in other news, I wanna be a billionaire.

... For the last 10 episodes.
Now only if I could remember what happened in the last episode.
Something about aliens, and a battle. But that's only what I was able to pick up from the "Previously On".

Timothy Dalton in another villainous role. I really need to watch those James Bond movies to see him as the hero...
Also, how is that guy's butt not on fire?
Also, the Gee Bee is a hilarious airplane...
