24 Hours at Daytona

Just saw a dude change the front brakes on a car in less than 2 minutes. That's pretty damn impressive.

Well, actually, I watched the one dude change the right front, but his compatriot was changing the left front in a similar sort of time.

Rango

'11. A sheltered chameleon becomes the sheriff of a frontier town. Animated. Starring: Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin, Ned Beatty, Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy. Director: Gore Verbinski.

Fun movie. Completely random and pretty darn ridiculous.

Chuck Finale

I love that they managed to involve Jeffster.

Ended well.

Sad to see it go, but glad it ended on its own terms.

Lord of the Rings: Return of The King

As I sit here waiting for enough of Chuck to record so as I can watch it and fast forward through all the commercials, I'm watching the beginning of this movie.

Which reminds me that I need to re-watch these movies.

And probably reread the books again, too.

Law & Order

Has an Executive Producer named Dick Wolf.

That is all.

I am Sad

Last 2 episodes of Chuck tonight.

Wherefrom shall I get random quotes for my Google status?

How It's Made

Apparently the company that makes cowboy boots that How Its Made filmed makes boots out of walrus skin.

I want boots made of walrus.

Avatar

Finally Getting around to watching the movie. About half way through.

And I think the most important question is:

What the hell is up with the geology on Pandora? How does crap like that even form?

They better discuss it in the second half.

The Post In Which I Attempt To Entice The Readers of Trevor's Blog To Read My Blog

Trevor's blog has the little wotsit to the side that shows recent posts from blogs he follows. Including this one. I have no idea if I've mentioned this before. But, if I have, here it is again.

I first noticed this about the time of my Underpants post. Which amused me greatly.

So, that brings me to my point. I'm wondering if I could entice any of his readers to read my blog.

Which I so cleverly and subtly hinted at with my title.

So, does anyone actually think any of those that are not already familiar with my blog will stop by? And comment?

I'm doubtful.

Car Dealership

Saw a car the other day with one of those little plates that states the dealership where it was bought.

From Don Davis.

I didn't know General Hammond sold cars. I realize he generally went with the S. middle initial (and thus ended up as Don S. Davis), but still.

I'd buy any car that General George Hammond would sell me.

Especially because the car that I saw happened to be a gray Mazda 3.

Couldn't remember if it was Plasmodium or Paramecium...

It's Plasmodium Falciparum, FYI

My Tie Is Too Short

I must have tied it when I was slouching or something...

But anyways, I'm highly unlikely to do anything about it

Fórcola

It's the whoosy on a gondola that is essentially a super fancy oar-lock.

Apparently super complicated to make...

Cacciatore

Another salami thing.

Not as good as the Felino. But less chance of it being made of cats.

Probably.

They could be lying to me.


Again.

Bonus Word of the Day

Felino

Apparently it is a type of sausage/salami/whatever. Which is quite tasty, and goes hand in hand with my previous post. Leftovers from New Years. Pretty awesome. Was sadly lacking the bread. Had a baguette on New Years to go with the meat and cheese. But it was gone by today.

Also, in case you were wondering, this felino business is not made of cats. I wasn't 100% sure, but I checked the ingredients list. Just to make certain.
