Today's Word Of The Day
Heffalump.
Watched The Last Airbender today.
And here is my review:
Needs more Heffalump.
The flying heffalump creature was really the only thing worth watching in the original cartoon thing (not that I watched all to much of it). And Mr. M. Night Shamamamamamamamalalalalalamalamalamalamalamamamamamlalalamamalmamlamalmalmaman decided, in his significantly less than infinite wisdom, to not use very much of the best character he had to deal with.

Mathematical Calculations!
I have spent today collecting empirical evidence to support my mathematical calculation that the quality of a weekend can be measured by the inverse of the percent of time spent not wearing pants.

Bonus Word of The Day!
Boat.
I have finished the Boats category in my Tangram app thing. I've already finished animals and people. Next is letters and shapes. Then buildings. And potentially some other stuff. But I'm not sure what.

Doomsday Prophecy
(V, L) '11. Officials race against time to counteract geological disturbances that threaten the planet. Starring: A.J. Buckley, Jewel Staite. Director: Jason Bourque. From Canada.
Syfy Saturday movie from this past Saturday.
You know what every bad sci fi movie that the Syfy channel shows needs? That this one has.
Yeah. If you know me well enough, and you've read the description, you'll probably know the answer to that question.
And that answer, of course, if Jewel Staite. Who is, frankly, the only reason that I'm actually reviewing this movie. Especially after the whole Eureka cancellation travesty. And those two things are likely the only things I'll be talking about during this review.
Actually, you know what this movie needs? In addition to Jewel Staite, of course. A crotchety old guy. Sadly Don S. Davis is no longer with us. As I remember that he made a pretty awesome crotchety old guy in that Wyvern movie. That other guy in the movie who played the role of alternate COG. I hope he's in this movie. E was also pretty fantastic. But significantly less General Hammondish.
So, you figure out what COG meant? Its an acronym. Or abbreviation. Or whatever. It stands for Crotchety Old Guy. I do hope you figured it out. Because I used the acronym and its meaning in adjoining sentences.
And Beardy McMainCharacterGuy just touched some thing, and seemingly hallucinated the end of the world. And Jewel Staite. That's the sort of hallucination I can get behind. Because I'm not sure I've mentioned it recently. But, Jewel Staite is hot.
And there is an old guy. Sadly, not very crotchety. Unless one can be crotchety after death. (I'm calling him "not very crotchety" because he's dead). Seems less crotchety, and more insane. Even though he's dead, with the wonders of modern video camera technology, people can speak from beyond the grave! Spooky!
Also, in other news: STOP CANCELLING EUREKA, JERKASSES!
Ahem... sorry. Had to get that out of my system. But seriously, if you decide to cancel Warehouse 13 as well, there'll be really nothing worth watching on Syfy. Because that new show they came out with, Alphas, is crap. I managed a whole season of Flash Gordon and about a season of Sanctuary. So, my tolerance for bad TV shows is relatively high. But, I lasted about 10 minutes into the 2nd episode of Alphas before I came to the conclusion I had no idea what was going on, and hadn't paid attention to the TV for the entire episode thus far. So, that one got deleted, and removed from the DVR series recording thingy.
And now, a half hour later (with a half hour to go), I should probably update you all on the most pressing issue:
Jewel Staite: Still hot.
Also for referencing having a fight earlier in the movie, you certainly do suck at fighting, there, Beardy...
Poor Jupiter. Just got eated by the dark star thing that is the cause of all this jibba jabba.
Also, this movie has a couple of cliches that I haven't seen in a while. The crazy military general who does everything he does claiming to be a patriot. The old Native American shaman guy who has visions and randomly assists the main character in solving whatever stupid and ridiculous quest he might be on at the given moment in time. And if there were more than 5 minutes of the movie left, I'd probably make that into a ridiculous and awesome acronym, and use it incessantly. But, its far too late for that now.
Also, apparently the big, funny lookin' heads on Easter Island are some sort of planetary defense mechanism. Also, they have friends somewhere in Canada.

There Are No Words...
Expletive you Syfy.
Why did you cancel Eureka?
You have no idea how hard I am having to try to not string together a whole mess of expletives directed at you...
And now, you really only have Warehouse 13 that is worth watching.
So, as an attempt to punish you for your indiscretions, I am no longer going to provide you the publicity of reviewing your Syfy original movies.
Assuming that, of course, it is actually a punishment. I'm going with the assumption that any publicity is good publicity.

Milk
Did you know that when they're processing milk, it first get separated into butter cream and skim milk?
And then they add some of the butter cream into the skim milk if they're making 2%?
I always sorta figured that skim milk was more processed than 2%...
Thanks, How It's Made!

Encounter at Farpoint
The first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
My only thought for the first half of this episode is the fact that Riker needs a beard.
Beardless Riker is strange.
GROW A BEARD!

Unfortunate Naming
So, apparently in a factory that creates blown glass, there is a smaller furnace named the "Glory Hole".
Uh...

Random Place that Just Popped Into My Head
Grenoble
Wow. This one is pretty dang random. In that I'm not 100% certain where it is. I'm thinking France, but not sure.

Computer Controlled Punching Machine
While an awesome name, it becomes less spectacular when you realize that all it does is punch holes in sheet metal to create filing cabinets. Thanks for getting my hopes up, How It's Made...
